[vchkpw] RE: [qmailadmin] RE: [vchkpw] Major autorespond problems.
This looks to be another vpopmail bug. There are a few still out there that have not been corrected even after being reported many times. Not sure how often it is being worked on anymore. As I don't see many status reports or even responses to bugs being posted. I for one have posted a bug and how to reproduce it several times and have yet to get a response back. --- Brad Dameron Network Account Executive TSCNet Inc. www.tscnet.com Silverdale, WA. 1-888-8TSCNET > -Original Message- > From: Tom Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, October 07, 2002 12:02 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: vpopmail list; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [qmailadmin] RE: [vchkpw] Major autorespond problems. > > > But I think the intended/preferred behavior should be to not send the > autoresponse, yet still receive the original message into the mailbox. > At least that's how I understood the original message, and how I > understood the behavior of autorespond. > > Autorespond shouldn't do anything to affect the delivery of the > original message.

I haven't tested so far, but vchkpw authenticating against '/etc/passwd' (system user == local user) should set the correct home directory for qmail-pop3d to fetch the e-mail from. 'Downside' is you'll have to let POP3-daemon run as root to be able to chuid() to system user, while using only vpopmail-virtual users running as vpopmail-uid should be enough (assuming all vpopmail-domains running as vpopmail-user). -- Pit

RE: [vchkpw] Major autorespond problems.
Of course it is going to block the messages. It thinks that she is spamming it with a whole lot of messages. It is doing exactly what it was designed to do. I have never heard of anyone that CC's themselves to make sure the message is delivered. Why not put a request on the message so the client sends the recieved and read message back to her like most people do. The thing is, there is no problem with vpopmail or the autoresponder. It is how they or you are trying to use it. There are reason's it is setup like it is. To prevent autoresponder loops. What if her autoresponder responds to another autoresponder, then that one responds back, and yes another autoresponder get's in the loop because someone else has one, then it responds back. Before you know it you have hundreds of duplicate messages because of looping issues. The reason it is stopping at 3 messages is because it see's the message as coming from HER. Which infact it is coming from her. So it hits the 3 message limit from one individual.

Re: [vchkpw] New user with problems!
Hi Kanzie , In order to authenticate on a virtual domain basis, you muse provide the username including the domain, as: USER [EMAIL PROTECTED] PASS * This is, because since you can have multiple domains using only one IP address the user must specify which domain does he belong. That should solve your problem. Have a nice Day !

Re: [vchkpw] Moving from Netscape Mail server to Qmail+Vpopmail?
If I understand you ok, you used an exported ldif file from netscape to setup all your existing mail accounts to qmail/vpopmail, right? -- absolutely Using ldap as auth engine on vpopmail's ldap module, or local userdb files? -- no, just mysql as storage You imported your cyphered SHA-1 strings from netscape database, ok. Then, once inserted in vpopmail users database, vchkpw and authdaemon recognize such SHA-1 strings to validate users' passwords? -- yes, some vpopmail code was modified to support this format. so you can have sha-1 passwords & md-5 passwords at the same time.
Re: [vchkpw] Moving from Netscape Mail server to Qmail+Vpopmail?
Vladimir, thank you for your mail, If I understand you ok, you used an exported ldif file from netscape to setup all your existing mail accounts to qmail/vpopmail, right? Using ldap as auth engine on vpopmail's ldap module, or local userdb files? My testing setup is using vpopmail's local cdb files. I should add ldap support to really migrate my current setup maintaining the current structure, but docs and comments from vpopmail people discourage me from ldap usage, so I'm worried on this. Why yes, why not? You imported your cyphered SHA-1 strings from netscape database, ok. Then, once inserted in vpopmail users database, vchkpw and authdaemon recognize such SHA-1 strings to validate users' passwords? Rick Romero <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> pointed to --enable-learning-passwords as an alternate feature for some migrating projects. It's a good option, just in case. But direct support for SHA-1 password would be 100% straight to the problem. And about mailboxes, I found out that their contents can be copied to each user's Maildir/new directory (after parsing them with any dos2unix tool, to remove extra trailing CR/LF). Good point is that it's an easy way to restore messages from the older server. Bad point is that all those old messages appear as new stuff in INBOX, not preserving previous folders estructure. If you can send that work, it'd be great, thank you Will keep in contact to discuss some migration questions, on list or privately if it becomes too specific for the list...

more than 1 year ago i've got almost the same questions, when had to migrate from netscape messaging server. as i found no answers, so decide to do work by myself. first of all, i wrote a small program on C to parse LDIF from netscape' exported user database. things got exported: mailboxes, quotas, aliases, forwarders, passwords in (yeah) SHA-1 standard. next thing: i found a way to create password hashes in SHA-1. as we have only one mail domain serviced by netscape there no support for domains parsing, but it shouldnt be too hard to add such support. mailboxes created leaved empty, all their contents leaved on old server, so users had to download their emails manually. if you are interested i can send you that my old work - Original Message - From: "Gonzalo G.

[vchkpw] dot character as domain separator (ATCHARS)?
Hi, As required by a migration I'm involved with, pop/imap login names have to be formatted as 'username(dot)domain(dot).com', using dot as a separator instead of common @% characters. I took a look at source code and found ATCHARS defined in vpopmail.h. Is it safe to add the dot sign? Might break code? I did the test and it seems to work ok, but unsure if might find problems elsewhere Thanx
