Well - a large number of very ordinary folks use all of those services, and more than a few legitimate small businesses. I think you misunderstood. The freemail feature does not block legitimate mail from yahoo, hotmail and aol. It only blocks email where the sender claims to have an address of yahoo, hotmail or aol, but is in fact, not relaying from a yahoo, hotmail or aol server. That is almost certainly a spammer. Genuine email from those services will still come in. My question to other courier users was about other large freemail services, and which ones they block. -- Anand --- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!

RE: [courier-users] Re: Storing EVERYTHING in a db
In [EMAIL PROTECTED], on 03/17/03 at 03:21 PM, Mitch \(WebCob\) [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: Or your friend uses a DB to create the config fiels that courier needs, rebuilds those DB's, and restarts courier... that's what we do Actually, it is a special case (speaking as the 'friend' Gabriel mentioned). The server in question provides a membership community function (initially on OpenACS) from which a mailing list of 'qualified' users is extracted. The user community does not (at present) have 'conventional' mail service on that server, so no .courier files or Maildirs are needed for them. The named list(s) are handled entirely by aliases, and the mailing list content generated by calls to the DB. An MLM and other modules separate from courier handle the incoming validation, demiming, etc., calling only courier's sendmail functionality. It looks as if courier's own toolset can be used to do the entire MLM, demime, and header/body reformating --- but we are not there yet. 'Learning curve' etc. - Happy to collaborate on MLM tool development for courier, tho' FWIW - I say initially on OpenACS as we just hours ago discovered yet-another flaw in it, this time a significant security hole in the login modules, hence are starting the tedious task of rolling our own mini-version. All our aliases, domains and so on are made in a mysql database, then we regenerate the courier files from that (not soemthing I can give you though because it's a) not portable b) in development c) undocumented ;-) But it is simple to roll your own. m/ ACK.. Similar concept w/r creating/destroying .courier files and Maildirs if/as/when we replace 'Minimalist' (hacked), 'Demime' (hacked) with MLM constructs in courier-mta ... and/or offer on-box email accounts to the members. GOAL is basically self-registration (with 'trustee' vetting as to eligibility) and minimal sysadmin involvement in members coming, going, changing their email addresses, etc. And, no - unfortunately, the specific app is not a 'fit' to majordomo and such w/o substantial mods.

[courier-users] courier + mysql with md5-encrypted passwords
Hi,
I'm using debian + courier-imap + mysql
I want to save the passwords for authentification in the mysql-database with
md5.
I know that I have to use the md5 with base_64_encoding.
So, the word secret is c2VjcmV0 in mysql.
In Courier's authmysqlrc is set:
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD CONCAT('{MD5}',password)
However, it doesn't work.
If I use the normal crypt-function, all is onright.
Is there any hint for what I' doing wrong.
thanks olli

If what you describe is what actually happened, then the original problems still exists: messages to host A initially get deferred, and then evicted from the queue, and will not re-enter the queue, because there is a constant stream of messages for host B which dominates the queue, but never hits the high watermark, and thus never triggers the queuefill timer. -- Anand --- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!

And why did courier's log show queuedelivering=20? When a delivery attempt is deferred, the message is rescheduled, and is removed from the in-memory queue. If the queue size is below the low-watermark value, the queue is immediately rescanned, and the message is, essentially, requeued for its next scheduled time. Otherwise, the queue is rescanned when completed delivery attempts reduce the queue to the low watermark level, at which time it will rescan and requeue only those messages with the earliest next scheduled delivery attempt. If what you describe is what actually happened, then the original problems still exists: messages to host A initially get deferred, and then evicted from the queue, and will not re-enter the queue, because there is a constant stream of messages for host B which dominates the queue, but never hits the high watermark, and thus never triggers the queuefill timer. You'll just have to tune the parameters in accordance to your mail traffic levels. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!

Perhaps there is some other solution, but I use a small C app I wrote. You
can get it at http://www.laffeycomputer.com/crypter.c Directions for
compiling it are in the comments. Note that your system's crypt(3)
function must support MD5 for this to work (most modern un*xes do).
crypter is free. You would use it like this:
mybox ./crypter 'my pass'
$1$$ZgHOLxjS.UBCu4uVg70a91
This is known to work on NetBSD. Older linuxes do not seem to have MD5
support in their crypt(3). I am not sure about modern linuxes. Please feel
free to improve upon this.

[courier-users] SSL decryption failed error
Hi! I've been using courier-imap with SSL for about two years now, very happily. I'm setting up a new server now, to replace my current server, so I installed Courier again. On my new server, thought, all connections are rejected with Input/Output error! Every time that I try to connect, Courier-imap puts this in my /var/log/messages file: Mar 17 22:17:07 sp imapd-ssl: Connection, ip=[:::208.187.215.92] Mar 17 22:17:07 sp imapd-ssl: couriertls: accept: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac what the heck does any of this even mean? The configuration files for the two servers are pretty much the same, so I can't figure out why the new one would have this error. I made a self-signed cert as the installation instructions advised. I tried changing the IMAPDSSLSTART and IMAPDSTARTTLS options. Nothing helps. Does anybody have an idea what is going on here? Or how to fix it? --- This SF.net email is sponsored by:Crypto Challenge is now open!
