[courier-users] Permission issues since moving to 0.44.0

2003-12-15 Thread Patrick O'Reilly
Any ideas?

I used portupgrade on FreeBSD to move from 0.42 to 0.44, and since then I
get errors like this in the maillog:

Dec 15 11:18:49 panther courieresmtpd: started,ip=[209.212.102.154]
Dec 15 11:18:49 panther courieresmtpd: Permission denied
Dec 15 11:18:49 panther courieresmtpd: Permission denied
Dec 15 11:18:53 panther courieresmtpd: started,ip=[196.39.31.25]
Dec 15 11:18:53 panther courieresmtpd: Permission denied
Dec 15 11:18:53 panther courieresmtpd: Permission denied

I haven't been able to figure out what permission is being denied...

I have noticed that many of the courier processes are now running as user
mailnull, even though I specify a user called courier in the esmtpd file.
In desparation I even set mailnull and courier to the same userid, but no
dice.

HHH EEE LLL PPP !!!

Thanks in anxious anticipation,

Regards,
Patrick.

[courier-users] Migrate plain userdb to mysql and courier web-based

2003-12-15 Thread Vincent Lee
Hi all,

Im using Courier-mta version 0.44.2 with plain userdb running in Solaris 9
OS now. I have around 5,000++ mail users. But I discover plain userdb doesnt
has any user management GUI that fit to the mail administrator, where mysql
does. This has brought difficulties to the mail administrators who want to
check user info and add user account etc.
So does anyone convert or migrate plain userdb to mysql userdb before?

If yes, is that complicated? Im thinking of write a VB script to convert the
userdb to mysql usedb format, don't know whether it is possible.
Or else, if you know any plain userdb management GUI or Courier web-based
management software, which can introduce to me?

Many thanks.

Regards,
Vincent

Your upgrade got screwed up.  You compiled the new version of Courier 
specifying a different userid to run Courier as.  As such, the permissions 
of configuration files, and many other files, are now completely wrong.

You'll need to uninstall Courier completely, then do a new install.

[courier-users] Courier: how good is it compared to other MTA:s such as Sendmail or Exim?

2003-12-15 Thread Per Lundberg
Hello folks,

The company where I work is running e-mail services for our customers,
hosting a bunch of domains with Sendmail on Linux, using virtusertable. 
However, now we are moving over to new server facilities so we are
considering moving over to Courier MTA, much because of the authmysql
authentication module.

Since this is a service that our customers are paying money for, the
reliability is of high concern.  We don't want any mail to get lost
during the move.  How reliable is Courier?  What are the things you like
(and perhaps dislike) about it?  In general, what are your experiences
with it, and how well has it worked for you?  Obviously, your
experiences are extra interesting if you are hosting a bunch of domains
and are using authmysql.

well, yes, you will.  Ask your question on the debian-user mailing list[1].  
Debian/woody was released in mid-2002 as the Debian/stable distribution, and is still

I'm using the backports.org courier, and it works nicely. Of course,
it's up to you if you trust external package sources.

Use the following sources.list line:
deb http://fs.cs.fhm.edu/mirror/backports.org/debian stable courier

In a word, superb. Not only MySQL auth but Maildirs which I'm sure
allows our server to hum along nicely. 4k accounts with about 300k
msg/day plus everything else, as in radius for 300 ports and all 
web/php/cgi and ftp for near 300 vhosts. P4/1.8 2G ram currently
with a load average of 0.21, 0.23, 0.25.

Not much to complain about, couriermlm could be improved.

Wouldn't a cron job be easier?  Like at least a few others, I have 
should be spam and not spam maildirs, and a cron job set up (in my
case, hourly) to scan those directories with sa-learn (and in my case,
delete the messages in the directories when finished).

It'd fix your 6-second-move issue, and a master script to scan the
folders for every user on the system wouldn't be hard to set up.

However, I don't see how this addresses the issue of SpamAssassin not
being able to get at the true homedir of courier's virtual users.

[courier-users] Help needed - MUA gets wrong number of messages

2003-12-15 Thread Martin Petersen
Hi dear Courier-Users List members, I need Your help.

I am using Courier-Imap for 6 month or so. After I ran into some trouble 
with my package manager, I am getting strange behaviours with my MUAs.

When I start up Mutt or Mozilla Thunderbird, the client counts in my 
folders a number of new messages, which are not really there. If I 
select the folder, the New-Flage seems to disappear.

Does somebody out there knows which kind of bug I may have build into my 
Courier-Server?

Please let me know if you need some more infos.

Many thanks in advance.

Its a risk, not because of Courier but because you are not yet
familiar with the software.

The alternative would be Postfix with SASL2/mySQL, but this only
gives you SMTP, its not much easier than courier-mta to maintain,
lacks DSN and a few other goodies.
And you still need imap, pop3, webmail and authlib from courier
which makes the setup definitely more challenging.
(actually I am currently setting up such a beast, because the
managing software and the antivirus only knows about postfix and
I dont want to run both mta's on the same box...)

Set up a testbox for a few weeks first.

The above look OK, except for the one with three question marks.  If those 
are real question marks, that's fine; if they are actually three unprintable 
characters then there may or may not be an issue.

Look for a maildir with two consecutive periods - a no-no.

The above URL has the control and data files from the spool dir, as well

If you are running a virus scanner, upgrade to the current version of

Since a bounce could not be generated, the message stayed in the queue

The current version of Courier does not invoke filters for DSNs.

 Wanted to look at your patches - they don't seem to be posted anymore?
 Seems like a neat idea - calling scripts mased on message moving...

 Are they obsolete? Or broken?

Eek.
When moving to a new server, one should not forget the additional files.

You'll find them as linked on
http://da.andaka.org/Doku/imapspamfilter.html#patchthesource

BTW: The patch was made for a fairly old version of courier-imap. I'm
currently working on a patch for v1.7.3 -- there are some difficulties
left...

Re: [courier-users] Stop with the 'Corrupted Message' already, please

2003-12-15 Thread Phillip Hutchings
Get people to stop sending corrupted messages!
Great idea!  I'm fresh out of omnipotent, though.
Yeah, me too.

First RTFM, it's right there if you bothered, check the FAQs as well.

Just to set you right,

Add BOFHBADMIME=ACCEPT to /path/to/courier/etc/bofh
Thanks, that's half the battle.  Any idea why webadmin did not create
that file?
It's not often needed, it does the BOFH settings and some of the mail 
reject settings. man courier will give you some of the more interesting 
uses.

Hello!

You are doing some quite interesting stuff there with IMAP.
   

Thanks :-)

 

I'm a little confused about your SpamAssassin setup though.  Your
maildroprc doesn't actually show the spamassassin/spamc call which is
the interesting bit for me.
   

That's done in ~/.courier.
The whole setup is nothing without the actual call of spamc and
maildrop. To allow my users to choose what they want, I just give them a
script that writes |spamc|maildrop into ~/.courier.
Simple and really easy to script -- and most flexible for the advanced
users to play with.
 

I'm also interested to know if you are
using authdaemond or simply authuserdb - but of course SpamAssassin
doesn't know about either of these.


   

Oh I get it now ...

You are doing your spamchecking at point of local delivery - at this 
point, authdaemond has been referenced as the subsequent action of your 
maildroprc not having fully disposed the message, and the correct $HOME 
thus set.

This implicit binding is the obvious benefit of this process - however 
it requires a .courier in each virtual mail account.  I'd prefer to use 
an xfilter command from within the global maildroprc to mitigate this - 
however $HOME is ignored by spamc/spamd :(

Is there any way to do this?

Cheers, Alan

Dunno.

I assume you have DEFAULTDELIVERY=|maildrop and xfilter spamc in
your maildroprc, right? And spamassassin drops the bayes dbs elsewhere,
but not into the virtual users home, right?

In this case, I would try to set DEFAULTDELIVERY=|spamc|maildrop and
omit the xfilter spamc in maildroprc. I cannot imagine that it hurts
to call spamc in all cases (besides of performance).

As far as I can see, maildrop passes the $HOME of the unix user running
maildrop to spamc, while courier itself passes the $HOME of the virtual
user...

Can anyone confirm or deny my conclusion?

 http://da.andaka.org/Doku/imapspamfilter.html (I like feedback :-)

 Wouldn't a cron job be easier?  Like at least a few others, I have
 should be spam and not spam maildirs, and a cron job set up (in my
 case, hourly) to scan those directories with sa-learn (and in my case,
 delete the messages in the directories when finished).

 It'd fix your 6-second-move issue, and a master script to scan the
 folders for every user on the system wouldn't be hard to set up.

You're at some point right. You could do that with a cron job.

First, I thought that one should not feed the same message to sa-learn
twice. If sa-learn accidently learned it wrong, first let it forget the
message and learn it the other way round...
But at the time I realized that spamassassin itself keeps track of the
learned messages, I had already patched the imapd and wrote half of the
documentation, so I continued my work :-)

And, at last, I like my mails learned by sa-learn as soon as possible ;)

 However, I don't see how this addresses the issue of SpamAssassin not
 being able to get at the true homedir of courier's virtual users.

SpamAssassin puts it's bayes dbs into the virtual users true home on
my system. Since I documented my setup, I posted a link. With some luck,
the original poster gets the idea while examining the differences
between the two setups.
I did not had any idea what he might have done wrong, so I did the best
I could do to help him. At least, I did not tell him anything wrong.

Re: [courier-users] spamc, virtual accounts and user_prefs

2003-12-15 Thread Rich Duzenbury

 Can anyone confirm or deny my conclusion?
 
I've only had the server up a few days, but this seemed the easiest way
to get spam checking going.  Mails seem to be maildropping just fine,
even those without .courier files.  Caveat:  all my users are local at
this point.

DEFAULTDELIVERY=| /usr/bin/spamc | /usr/lib/courier/bin/maildrop

Rich

spamc passes the username to spamd, which then looks up the user's home 
directory.  I don't think that moving spamc into place as courier's 
delivery agent is going to help, as HOME will not be used.  I don't 
think that HOME is ever used by SpamAssassin.  It's mentioned once in 
the code, but I'm not sure how it'd be triggered.

Hmmm yes - this works as at this point it's doing the local delivery as 
determined by authdaemonrc.  I just need to check that the local 
user_prefs is being used via the --virtual-config-dir flag in spamd ...

Thank you all!
