Eddie,
Found the problem...
The tweeks made to vm-pop3d are basicly to encourage the log format of
vm-pop3d to be different to what it is by default so you get somthing like
this.
Jul 9 06:14:36 www vm-pop3d[4655]: Connect from 99.99.99.99
Jul 9 06:14:36 www vm-pop3d[4655]: User 'admin' logged in from 99.99.99.99
Jul 9 06:14:37 www vm-pop3d[4655]: Session ended for user: admin
It needs to be like this so popauthd will realise that a sucessful login (a
authorised login) has happened and rehash the sendmail /etc/mail/access
database.
To explain:
I check my mail via a pop client, I'm running vm-pop3d and logging in as
admin, vm-pop3d logs this:
Jul 9 06:14:36 www vm-pop3d[4655]: Connect from 99.99.99.99
Jul 9 06:14:36 www vm-pop3d[4655]: User 'admin' logged in
Jul 9 06:14:37 www vm-pop3d[4655]: Session ended for user: admin
but if I log in as a configured "virtual" user I will get this:
Jul 9 06:14:36 www vm-pop3d[4655]: Connect from 99.99.99.99
Jul 9 06:14:36 www vm-pop3d[4655]: User 'nigel' of 'freevsd-is-it.org'
logged in from 99.99.99.99
Jul 9 06:14:37 www vm-pop3d[4655]: Session ended for user: admin
which popauthd will notice and rehash the database.
The people who wrote vm-pop3d havnt thought of this, or havnt got around to
pop before smtp authentication.
So what we had to do was modify the log format, at present it only works with
virtual users.. (which will be fixed asap!!)
So I do apoligise about that!
>From here, you have two choices,
1) you use vm-pop3d with popauthd for virtual users only. (Ie: no popauth'd
real users can send mail from outside of your local lan)
2) you can switch back to qpopper and use pop before smtp with that.
Once again, I do apoligise, we are on to that problem, and should be with a
solution soon!
Cheers,
Nigel.
