[vchkpw] qmailadmin

2002-11-25 Thread Quek Jin Chin
i just installed qmailadmin 1.0.6
but i can't list the users on the domain anymore.
No users left to view, please return to the previous page
inter7 website states that it could be a vpopmail's clear password problem.
i have went through all the users using
vmoduser -C  user@domain
yet qmailadmin still can't show the users.
anyone has a clue?

[vchkpw] Not in rcpt.hosts

2002-11-25 Thread Zeno Davatz
Hi

I added ywesee.com with vadddomain and [EMAIL PROTECTED] with vadduser.

When I now try to send a message to any Email-address I get: sorry this host
is not in my rcpt-list.

Any ideas what I am doing wrong.

Thanks for your help.

[vchkpw] Qmailadmin and AutoResponder

2002-11-25 Thread Alessandro A.
Hi,
I have installed on my email server qmailadmin-1.0.6, vpopmail 5.3.9 and
qmail 1.0.3.
I would disable the autorespond feature in qmailadmin, so I've compiled it
with these parameters:

./configure--enable-autoresponder-bin=n --enable-maxautoresponders=0
.

but when i log in as normal user and i set the autoresponder, the program
will create the files .qmail and vacation/message in the user directory,
in according with the definitions of autoresponder.

There is a way to turn off definitively this feature? I do not want
autoresponders because many users in this system are subscribed to
mailing-lists


Thanks in advance

Alessandro A.





[vchkpw] vadduser batch file

2002-11-25 Thread Andre Fortin
Hi,

In testing a conversion from a system user sendmail/qpopper set up to a cdb
vpopmail set up, I noticed if I tried to batch multiple 'vadduser' entries,
it would sometimes fail writing the cdb file and would build a cdb with only
the last few entries, and overwrite the live vpasswd.cdb file.  This is
obviously a problem :)

Is there any way to safeguard against this?  The plain text vpasswd file is
unaffected, so any vpasswd/vadduser/vdeluser command subsequentially entered
will rebuild the database properly, but we intend to have many batch entries
later on to synchronize with another external database, and we dont want
this happening in the middle of the day, even for a few minutes..

I could easily add a 'sleep x' statement in the batch file between commands,
but for large batch entries, this would overlap with the next batch run,
since we hope to run the sync once per minute.  Also, what would be a safe
value for 'x' if this was the only solution?  Any suggestions on this?

In responding, please keep in mind that we'd like to maintain CDB as opposed
to external databases(we already have enough problems synchronizing the
current DB2/MSSQL databases :).  I'd like to avoid having to run an LDAP or
MySQL server.

Thanks in advance,

[vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile

2002-11-25 Thread Brian Kolaci

authdaemond works for me, however IP Alias doesn't work since
the IP information is passed via environment variables.  The
authdaemon protocol doesn't take into account any of the
environment variables set by couriertcpd, so your missing some
of the critical information.  I've mentioned this on the courier
list as well, however it didn't appear anyone cared...

If you disable authdaemond (and have it fork/exec each login
request), then it works fine.  Its just not scalable (and I'm
getting into that problem now when I hit about 20-25 authentications
per second).

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile

2002-11-25 Thread Brian Kolaci

You can disable it at runtime also.
Just specify it in the AUTHMODULES variable in the
.../etc/*.config files (mine is at authvchkpw authpam)
rather than authdaemond.  You don't have to go back
and do a fresh compile.

I was trying to use courier-imap 1.6.0, but I'm stuck at 
version 1.4.2.

Under high loads, you *need* to have a pool of authentication
servers.  I also use MySQL so the database authentication needs
to take place for every request.  So some work needs to be done
there, however I don't think its high on Sam's list.  I may have
to tackle it in the not too distant future, but I don't think my
work would get incorporated into his distribution...  Ken  Bill

 but I'm stuck at version 1.4.2.

 Under high loads, you *need* to have a
 pool of authentication servers.  I also
 use MySQL so the database authentication
 needs to take place for every request. 
 So some work needs to be done there,
 however I don't think its high on Sam's
 list.  I may have to tackle it in the not
 too distant future, but I don't think my
 work would get incorporated into his
 distribution... Ken  Bill have been
 willing to take patches.

 Thanks,

Yeah. I ran into the same problem.
They/we should really include that in
documentation somewhere. In fact, I
get that problem with sqwebmail even
if

 I

DO disable authdaemon I'm not
sure it's the same kind of issue
though.
   
But back to the reason I posted in
the first place:
   
I've seen plenty of people complain
on the sqwebmail list that authdaemon
croaks after a short time under high
load. Using only the authvchkpw
module and disabling authdaemon at
compile time always fixed the
problem.
   
What versions are you running?

 your missing some of the critical
 information.  I've mentioned this
 on the courier list as well,
 however it didn't appear anyone
 cared...

 If you disable authdaemond (and
 have it fork/exec each login
 request), then it works fine.  Its
 just not scalable (and I'm getting
 into that problem now when I hit
 about 20-25 authentications per
 second).

 Thanks,

Are you using authdaemon? I
believe disabling auth daemon
at compile time fixes the
problem too. compile with:
   
--without-authdaemon \
--with-vchkpw
   
when compiling courier-imap.
   
I don't use authdaemon, and I
don't have any troubles. This
is an on-going list discussion.

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile

2002-11-25 Thread Taylor Dondich
Okay, update to my problem.  Due to suggestions, I have upgraded certain
peices of software.

I am now running:
FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE
Qmail 1.03_1
Vpopmail 5.3.9_1
SquirrelMail 1.2.8
Courier-Imap 1.5.3

All above programs have been installed from the ports tree in fbsd.  Also
due to suggestions, I have modifed the authdaemonrc file for courier-imap to
the following:
authmodulelist=authvchkpw authpam

I rebooted the server, and so far people are able to login, we'll see in
about an hour if people can still continue logging in.  Like I said, imap
logins just fail after a certain amount of time.  I'm also going to check if
pop3 authentication fails as well.

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll keep you posted.

I use IMP and I think it's great.  A lot of people like squirrelmail though.
I've found that SqWebMail is the fastest of the three, but it doesn't look
as cool.

 authors, with no luck? and I'm out of options now :(

 I have a webmail client installed on my server, and I have inquired of
 them why it is not working with the virtual domains.

 I am running RedHat 7.3, qmail-1.03, vpopmail-5.2.1, qmailadmin-1.0.5, and
 now that I have the virtual domains setup and working great I can't get
 the webmail client to work.

 First domain, trells.com set to ip 207.168.116.66
 Second domain, mmz.org set to ip 207.168.116.85
 Third and fourth, etc... The webmail clients are setup with there own
url's
 and can be gotten to, http://webmail.trells.com and http://webmail.mmz.org
 under trells.com, I can login and get all my mail just fine, however
 under mmz.org I try to login and I get authorization failed, now comes
 the weird part, I can pop both via Outlook with no problems :/

 I am in dire need of getting a webmail client that work with vpopmail
 do you guys know any? I am currently looking into squirrelmail, please
 let me know if any of you have a different one that works like this :)

 Joe


Sqwebmail works fine for us.  What client are you using?

[vchkpw] courier-imap STILL stops authenticating after awhile

2002-11-25 Thread Taylor Dondich
Well, I attempted to correct the issue; however, courier-imap still 
tends to muck up authentication after awhile (about an hour or so).  Is 
there any way to have courier-imap give a bit more verbose error 
messaging.  All I see is LOGIN FAILED.  I don't know whhy.  Also, people 
keep saying that there's supposed to be a 
/usr/local/libexec/courier-imap/authlib/authvchkpw file or something, I 
don't have that, but authentication works for AWHILE.  Then it takes a dump.

Anyone have any suggestions?  :(
