[courier-users] Re: (sqwebmail vs. squirrelmail) on top of qmail

2003-03-21 Thread Chris Berry
From: Matthias Andree [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Squirrelmail requires an IMAP server up and running (or it did last time
I looked), and I'd like to recommend Courier-IMAP for that. (BincIMAP
looks promising, but I don't have experience from productive
environments with that yet.) But if you go for Courier-IMAP, you've come
to know how to install Courier components, and Sqwebmail would likely be
easier to install after you've installed Courier-IMAP ,-)
Does sqwebmail even use Courier-IMAP, I thought it read the maildirs 
directly?

From: Jono [EMAIL PROTECTED]
It turned out to be a case of RTFM... in the authmysql config I had  
neglected to uncomment the directive that specifies the maildir  location, 
so it was looking for a maildir directly inside  /private/var/mail... and 
exim was creating it deeper just as it was  told to do!

DOH! :)

From: Michael Bellears [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 That looked kind of difficult to setup, any particular reason
 you decided to
 go with that solution?

I wouldn't say that it was difficult - There is an extremely helpful
tutorial located here:
http://www.geocities.com/oliversl/imp/

Once you have all the required prerequisites correctly configured, it is
fairly trivial to setup.
Reasons we went for Horde/Imp:

Intuitive Interface (Plus it looks really nice!)
Multitude of add-on modules (Contacts/Calendar/SpamAssassin/Tasks the
list goes on: http://www.horde.org/projects.php)
Active Development and support.
Ability to Integrate with Multiple backends (SQL/LDAP etc).
Scalability (http://www.horde.org/papers/Scalable_webmail_HOWTO.php)
I'm getting good reports from people who use all three, so it looks like I'm 
going to have to go back and do some more research, see if there is some 
better criteria I can use to rule out one or two of them, thanks for the 
response.

RE: [courier-users] (sqwebmail vs. squirrelmail) on top of qmail

2003-03-20 Thread Chris Berry
From: Mitch \(WebCob\) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
My understanding was that sqwebmail used direct access through it's setuid
access to read the Maildirs directly, thereby reducing server and localloop
network load.
Isnt' setuid usually a bad thing as it opens up all kinds of security 
holes?  (though from what I hear PHP isn't exactly real secure either)

It should be faster and run better for more users on a machine I think.
Also, it's compiled C code, and that should count for something speed and
resource wise as well...
Thats a good thing speed wise, but makes it harder to modify.  No offense 
but C is lower than I usually prefer to go, I'm more of a scripting kind of 
guy.  (sure, I can do assembly, but why would I want to?)

squirrelmail and sqwebmail are both available on rpm (though they conflict

At the end of the day, you are the person responsible for the
support/maintenance of the system - We can give you advice based on
personal experience, but you are the one that must be comfortable with
the system you use.
Therefore, I can't see how you can make a decision without _actually_
using/installing each one.
That's good advice, but not what I thought he meant.  I have enough work 
setting up and running one of them, I thought he was recommending running 
all three simultaneously, which sounds like asking for trouble to me.  
Although my preliminary research shows that they all work which is the 
most important issue, if there were some obvious technical benefit or 
disadvantage, I wouldn't have needed to ask for opinions.  For example, when 
choosing MTA's I went with qmail, while courier and postfix would also have 
been workable, for me the emphasis on paranoid security was the telling 
factor.  So far I've the main response I've gotten is use sqwebmail, it's 
ugly, but everything else about it is great!  Had a few responsdees who 
liked horde/imp or squirrelmail but definitely the minority.  I'll know more 
in a day or two as the rest of the results trickle in and I take another 
look at sqwebmail, thanks for all the advice.

Re: [courier-users] chdir Maildir: No such file or directory

From: Jono [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have Exim 4.14 installed with MySQL support on OSX 10.2.4, with
Courier-IMAP 1.7.1 (also with MySQL support and mailadmin), and  
squirrelMail

My problem is that when I log in via SquirrelMail (or an IMAP account  in a 
mail app) I get this in
/var/log/mail.log
Mar 19 12:37:24 h imapd: Connection, ip=[127.0.0.1]
Mar 19 12:37:24 h imapd: LOGIN, [EMAIL PROTECTED], ip=[127.0.0.1]
Mar 19 12:37:24 h imapd: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory

the user [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a user defined in MySQL (using
mailAdmin), the 'home' is defined as /var/mail/ and maildir as  
h.xserve.co.nz/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Maildir

I have also tried it as home: /private/var/mail/ and maildir as  
h.xserve.co.nz/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Maildir with no success

The Maildir in question _is_ in the correct place  
(/private/var/mail/h.xserve.co.nz/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/Maildir _does_  exist 
and does in fact have mail in it)

even with chmod -R 777  /private/var/mail/* courier-imap still seems  
unable to access the maildir

Does anyone have any idea why courier-imap cannot access the maildir?
Did you create the maildir using maildirmake?

tcpserver is part of the ucspi-tcp package that is commonly used with qmail

 However before we get all excited and blame the problem on someone else,

From: Karl Banasky [EMAIL PROTECTED]
like someone else said the info on ldap is a little hard to read and
understand.  i guess I just have to start in on the mud pie and get my
hands dirty before I can ask any good questions about mud pies.
Wait... I was talking about LDAP so where dod mud pies come in? Well
thanks for the reply.
I plan to use the whole courier package,  IMAP and POP3.   Thanks.
Well, I'd start here:

http://www.courier-mta.org/install.html

Go through the docs, install courier in the most minimal way possible, get 
it running (you're already on the right mailing list so that's good).  Once 
you have that working (and documented all your steps) go here:

http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin/quickstart.html

Join their mailing list and get openldap up and running (dont' worry about 
integrating it with courier yet.  Once you have that working, then try and 
integrate the two (by the way, this whole process is going to probably 
involve starting over a few times, writing scripts to do everything as you 
go would be a good idea)

Once you have that working, then you can go here:

http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/samba-unofficial-single.html

Although I'm not sure what you're planning on using samba for in this combo.

Re: [courier-users] Re: RFC compliance: goodbye to courier MTA

2003-03-12 Thread Chris Berry
From: Peter C. Norton [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 I am a system administrator, not a programmer.
The difference between the two is mainly one of job description, and
shouldn't be one of understanding how programs work or how to modify
them.
I strongly disagree, an SA must be able to program, but that doesn't make 
him a programmer, its a difference of degree of specialization.  A Systems 
Administrator must know something about everything related to computers, but 
he's normally not a guru in any of those areas.  For example, an SA should 
know about databases, but that doesn't mean he'll know everything a full 
time DBA does, and he'll know about email, but may not understand it as well 
as an email admin, etc.  An SA must be a jack of all trades, and that often 
means there isn't time to master any of them completely.

If you can't program in some language, you should learn how
probably starting with shell, and moving towards perl or python and
then to C. It will vastly improve your sys admin skills to be able to
read and code.
I know how to code in assembler (8086 and Z80), fortran, pascal, basic 
(various flavors), javascript, java1.4, perl, C++, BASH, MS BATCH, HTML, a 
little XML, SQL+, TK, and I'm learning PHP, but none of that makes me a 
programmer.  My programs are all less than 1000 lines of code, most way 
smaller than that.  The difference between what I can do, and what a 
professional programmer can do is significant because programming is only 
one facet of my job.  The only time I'm going to dig into the guts of a 
package and rewrite it, is when there is no other choice, I'd rather, patch, 
configure, work around, hack or replace because I don't have time to do that 
kind of work and meet my other obligations.  Programmers can learn to be 
System Administrators, but just having a CS degree or knowing how to code is 
only a tiny fraction of what you need to do my job, and vice versa.

Right now I just want it to work and plain unix password authentication

Actually you probably want authshadow, although I'm not a BSD guy, most *nix

In which case, couldn't you just adjust the parser to append whatever was 
in the buffer for that line when it hits the EOF marker? (I'm sure it's 
more complicated than I'm making it sound)
It is.  So, when everything is working properly for well-formed mail 
content the last thing you want to do is screw around with it.  The 
marginal benefit of improved handling of invalid input is outweighed by the 
potential of a major screwup.
Certainly true on a production system, couldn't it be supplied as an 
optional patch or something of that nature?

Potential changes to any part of MIME parsing logic must have a damn good 
reason for them.
No argument there, though I'm not sure I see what kind of evil things could 
happen by adding what's in the buffer when you see ^D instead of \n^D.  Am I 
missing something obvious?  Did anyone ever find out what client he was 
using to inject messages that was causing this problem, might be easier to 
attack the problem from that end anyways.

Re: [courier-users] Disk Quotas

2003-02-24 Thread Chris Berry
From: Jodie [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When a user is over quota, they are unable to get out from under the quota.
For instance, the quota is 25 MB.  They are at 26+MB due to the fact that 
we
didn't implement quotas until 48 hours after we switched over to
Qmail/Courier on this new mail server.  When the user goes to pop their 
mail,
Courier wants to place the courierpop3sizelist file in their directory.
Well, it cannot because they are over quota.  Therefore, the customer is
stuck.

Possible Resolution?...
Why not just temporarily raise their quota?  You could write a script that 
would raise all users quota's to their current usage + 10%, then inform them 
that they have till the end of the week to be under quota, at which time all 
quotas will be dropped back down and those who are over will have the extra 
deleted.

Re: [courier-users] Re: last line being truncated

2003-02-24 Thread Chris Berry
From: Sam Varshavchik [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Notice the very last line there, /It might not even end with a newline/
Correct.  The contents of the file may be just a subset of the output from 
/dev/random.  As this document states, it might even be random binary data, 
which, of course, will not have a trailing newline.

However, 'M' in IMAP stands for message, not random binary content. 
If you intend to serve maildir contents over IMAP, the contents of the 
maildir does, indeed, have to look like an E-mail message.  And, as we all 
know, Internet E-mail consists of line of texts with trailing newlines.

- meaning the delivery can have no new line, so it's up to Courier-IMAP to 
still display the full message. If it's not, then it's denying the user 
their full message, making it an unreliable IMAP server.
I cannot control someone dumping random crap into a maildir.  I do check 
that mail content uploaded via IMAP APPEND will have a trailing newline 
character, and I will add it if it is not present.  Well-formed Internet 
E-mail will always have a trailing newline.

All other cases are handled according to the GIGO principle.

I need this line, as sometimes I save a draft of a document with just 1 
URL to pick up later - and it shows up as a blank message when I check it 
via IMAP - essentially a lost message.
How are you saving the draft?  This should not happen if you save the draft 
via IMAP.

What are you doing to correct this?
As soon as I believe that something needs to be corrected.
I don't think you would normally get this kind of behavior with SMTP, but 
couldn't you end up having trouble if you're using some other means of 
message injection such as QMTP, uucp, or agents that write directly to the 
Maildir, etc.?  I know that the courier mail system doesn't cause this kind 
of problem, but quite a few people are using just courier-imap in 
combination with something else (qmail in my case).  Isn't it important to 
stick to the Maildir spec for interoperability?  Perhaps an easy fix would 
be to add a bit of sanitizing code that would append a newline to messages 
that lack one?  (I'm not a developer so feel free to flame if that's a dumb 
idea)

Message files may be readonly.
Well, in that case the fix would have to be in the module that reads the 
files right?  How are you currently detecting EOF, could this just be a 
fencepost problem?

Well, in that case the fix would have to be in the module that reads the 
files right?  How are you currently detecting EOF, could this just be a 
fencepost problem?
No.  Messages are parsed a line at a time.  Hitting EOF prior to a newline 
terminates parsing without processing the partial last line.  Part of 
processing involves updating the ending location of each MIME section, so 
when the client subsequently requests the one, and only, MIME section the 
server will not include the unparsed data.

Note that this only occurs when the original message is a non-multipart 
MIME message.
I think I'm getting in a little over my head, but here it goes.

So basically you're saying that if the file looks like this:

 glad to hear from you bob\n
 hope things are going well with you^D
instead of this

 glad to hear from you bob\n
 hope things are going well with you\n
 ^D
then they'll only see

 glad to hear from you bob

In which case, couldn't you just adjust the parser to append whatever was in 
the buffer for that line when it hits the EOF marker? (I'm sure it's more 
complicated than I'm making it sound)  By the way, you must be incredibly 
patient to listen to us all the time.

I am able to telnet in to 25 and 110 and both appear

the mail manually because the server seems to accept
mail if there is a known user and reject it if not.
The problem is that the mail is never delivered. I
will lookup the commands to manually inject a message
if you really think that it will do something
differently tho.


It's not delivering mail for known users though right?  Have you checked the

Re: [courier-users] IMAP TROUBLE WITH MS-OUTLOOK (PLEASE SOME HELP)

2003-02-18 Thread Chris Berry
From: Jerry Amundson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You're main guy should realize that security goes back to Active 
Directory and the Local Policy in place, not this little checkbox within 
Outlook. Unless you allow the group Everyone to manipulate the registry, 
and give users permission to copy files from any profile, then there is not 
much to cause concern... (there is also the specific things that need to be 
done when installing Office on Terminal Services, but I assume that was 
handled already).

I disagree, we don't allow any remembered passwords here, very insecure if 
anyone were to sit at their desk and they forgot to lock their computer.  
This is dependant on your legal environment of course, if a user can't send 
any kind email that would be damaging, either to the public or to a client, 
then who cares? (but I don't think this would be true very many places)

Re: [courier-users] Almost working, just need to reconfigure something (I HOPE)

2003-02-17 Thread Chris Berry
From: Jeff Skalny [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have installed the complete courier 0.41 package. I
followed the installation instructions and have an
almost functioning server. The machine is running
Redhat 7.2 and also has apache, coldfusion, and mysql
installed and funstioning properly. The configure and
make processes completed without error using a nonroot
user. I su'd and ran make install and everything
installed fine. I configured everything using
webadmin. I initially skipped the post-install test
using perftest1. I ran makemaildir with the
appropriate user logins and created them as
$HOME/Maildir .
  I am to the point where everything is working as
configured except sending mail and delivering mail.
When I try to send mail to an unknown user, the
message is bounced back with unknown user error. When
I send a message to a known user, everything appears
to work, but no messages are showing in the users
Maildir/new (and not in /tmp nor /cur either). I am
not seeing any error messages in the system logs.
  I also can't seem to send mail. I have a coldfusion
app that sends email out (the app was working until
the dedicated email server died) we made the necessary
changes to coldfusion to use the new email server and
after changing the smtp config to allow relaying,
everything is showing as functional in the coldfusion
logs, but the email is never delivered (tried both
local and external addresses). I am thinking that
there is something stupid I am missing and I have
searched the list archives, the FAQ and google with
out luck. Ohh, I also went back and tried the
perftest1 script. Everything completed without error,
but no mail showed up and nothing appeared in the log
files. After a reboot, I received failures until
starting authdaemond.


Have you tried telnetting in to the port and injecting mail manually?

A double bounce happens when a bounce message bounces.  You can tell the 
difference because a bounce message contains the original message as part of 
the body, while the double bounce contains the bounce message as part of the 
body.

First of all, thaks for the help, I'm making good progress.  I looked in 
/var/log/mail/info and was able to figure out that I wasn't using the right 
auth module, so I changed it over to authdaemond (for now) and restarted 
imap but now I'm getting login failed like this:

Jan 31 12:12:44 myserver imapd: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[:::a.b.c.d]

where a.b.c.d is the ip address of my server

I looked in authdaemonrc and I think this has something to do with it.

##NAME: authmodulelist:0
#
# The authentication modules that are linked into authdaemond.  The
# default list is installed.  You may selectively disable modules simply
# by removing them from the following list.  The available modules you
# can use are: authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap

authmodulelist=authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap

 I haven't set up any of those modules, I was thinking of using authshadow 
until learn some more before I try and tackle adding a database.  Doesn't 
look like it's on the list though, do I need to reinstall with different 
options or something?

[courier-users] New installation problems

2003-01-31 Thread Chris Berry
 I'm trying to set up a mailserver on linux (mandrake 8.2, qmail, 
courier-imap).  I've got courier-imap up and supposedly running but when I 
try to telnet in to test it out it doesn't seem to want to let me in.  This 
is my first mailserver so you'd probably better warm up your flamethrower, 
because I'm sure the problem is my fault.  Anyone have an idea of what I did 
wrong or at least some more questions about how I have it set up?

telnet 0 143
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0 (0.0.0.0).
