It dawned on me, I have never even installed courier webmail. So, here I am. Blatantly asking up front, what will the surprizes be? In particular, I noticed this in the documentation. ** Courier does not deliver mail to domains with broken MX records. Courier also refuses to accept any mail with a return address in a domain with broken MX records. ** It is unacceptable to have a mail server which controls policy. Have I misread? This seems to indicate if no mx record exists for a mailer, Courier will not accept it. Is this true? I think you've at least partly mis-interpreted. What it means is that if an MX record is broken then courier won't try to guess at what its supposed to mean. Two common examples are (in BIND/RFC format): 1) example.com. IN MX 10 10.0.0.1 This is bogus because an MX record has to point to a valid A record. 2) example.com. IN MX 10 some.cname.example.com some.cname.example.com. IN CNAME some.other.example.com. This is bogus for the same reason as in (1). A CNAME is not a host record. So for these courier won't try to guess what the DNS admin was playing at. While it seems obvious what both (1) and (2) are trying to do, they're not RFC compliant and they make writing and maintaining an MTA difficult (i.e. why do a special case for tracking down 5 layers of CNAME's when its specifically not allowed?). Most of couriers other policies are configurable at run-time or at compile time (in fewer cases). -Peter -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan.

Re: [courier-users] Maildir file modification utility

Note, the above is untested, requires gnu touch, etc. etc. YMMV, all colors not available at all dealers.

I know that mail clients and servers can utilize a couple of forms of dating for mail messages, one being the actual date header and one being the timestamp of the mail file itself (I believe this corresponds, for example, to Pine's sorting by date vs. arrival). I may not be exactly right here, and there may be more ways, but what I'm wondering is whether anybody knows of an already-written utility to scan through a maildir and reset the file timestamps based on the date header in the mail message. In transferring a bunch of my mail to my new server, I can copy lots of mail back and forth using IMAP, but (especially for Pine) it would be nice to actually reset the timestamps on the messages so that they really do exist in the order they arrived. Now, resetting based on the date header doesn't help for those messages I've received from users whose computers' clocks were set to the year 2024, but those are mostly exceptions. Anyway, this is not a big deal at all, but I thought somebody might know of a utility already written to do this. I've Googled but haven't found anything, and I can't spare the time to write it myself. It may be that everybody else has already determined that this is not worth it (so why write a script/utility to do it?), in which case I can just forget about it.

Basically I enclosed the extra code in #ifdef #endif directives so
people that don't need this option will have exactly the same code as
before.
I believe this patch should be merged in the main Courier code. What do
you think about it Mr. Sam?
Anyway, this patch isn't complete as it doesn't include a
--with-alternative-at or similar in the configure script. Could you do
it Mr. Sam?
In case somebody want to try it, include a
#define ALTERNATIVE_AT characters_to_be_accepted
in 'auth.h'.
I've only tested authuserdb and authmysql but as the code is basically
the same, I decided to patch authldap.c and authpgsql.c also.

My questions are a) Would this be something that COurier would be suiteble for ? Yes and no, and you'll need a system to handle bounces. Courier limits the number of recipients on any message. The only way I've found around this for sending large mails is to send messages with 100 recipients per message. Up to a certian size this is OK. For the 500,000 you're talking about I think that courier may not be the best solution. b) Is there a way to optimize the interaction with the SMTP server, or would it be OK to have a client software that have access to the content that writes directly to a SMTP socket on a courier box (from couriers point of view, it will look like a SMTP server) ? Something like qmqp works well for this, unfortunately you're going to get sub-optimal behaviour out of qmail. c) Does any one have experience that touches my problem ? Please let me know. Courier is fast, but you can't set VERPs as flexibly as you can with qmail. That and the limit on the # of recipients per message means that you probably want to use something else. -Peter -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan.

I even changed the DEBUG setting in the imapd and pop3d config files to 5 but nothing new is added to the log files. I restarted it also. No difference. Very hard to debug something with no help from the logs. For the record, my approach to debugging authentication issues is as follows: change /etc/courier/authdaemonrc so daemons=1 restart courier so that the authdaemon is restarted, and there is only one child. Then run strace, ptrace, or ktrace (whichever your platform supports) on the child process. Use the option that will show longer strings. For strace the option I use is -s 1024. Its likely that you should be using -o /tmp/authdaemon.trace. On the other end, run ethereal, or tcpdump, or something that gives you a packet trace that you can extract with a protocol analysis tool like ethereal. Now, after you've made your failure happen, you can figure out: 1) What data was entered by the user 2) What data was passed by the client to the server 3) What data the server got. 4) What data the authdaemon got. -Peter -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan.

[courier-users] MAILUSER overwriting From header
I'm using courier-0.37.3 from debian woody. I'm seeing behaviour that if I send a prepared message to a set of users, and I want to VERP the message, I can't use the MAILUSER or related environment variables to set the envelope from, because if I do that the email address in the From header (not the envelope from) is overwritten. I'd like to have my bounces in a format like [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I can remove invalid addresses based on the timframe in which they've bounced. However, I can't do that without affecting the from heders that the MUA shows, and I don't want users to receive messages with a scary looking from. Is there a way to generate VERPS with a custom-set envelope-from without courier overwriting the header from: address? -Peter -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan.

[courier-users] Courier vs. japanese
What's normally involved in receiving email from users of japanese mail clients? I am getting what seems to be garbled email through a courier server from an exchange server. One thing that bothers me is that in the transfers the content-transfer-encoding is 7bit, but the content-type is text/plain; charset=iso-2022-jp. I'd suspect that iso-2022-jp requires at least some 8bit chars. Anyway, I'm puzzled.

# mv binary binary.real
# echo '#!/bin/sh' binary
# echo 'exec strace -ff -s 256 -o /tmp/binary.trace binary.real $*' binary

This should follow RFC 821 (SMTP) and RFC 1869 (ESMTP). Notes: Please remember, when doing ESMTP, that the names of the SMTP service extensions are NOT the same thing as the option keywords for the RCPT and MAIL commands! Example: import smtplib s=smtplib.SMTP(localhost) print s.help() This is Sendmail version 8.8.4 Topics: HELOEHLOMAILRCPTDATA NOOPQUITHELPVRFY EXPNVERBETRNDSN For more info use HELP topic.

End of HELP info s.putcmd(vrfy,someone@here) s.getreply() (250, Somebody OverHere [EMAIL PROTECTED]) s.quit() So I've used it to test my smtp auth interactively, since it does CRAM-MD5 and LOGIN auth. s = smtplib.SMTP(mailhost) print s.login.__doc__ Log in on an SMTP server that requires authentication. The arguments are: - user: The user name to authenticate with. - password: The password for the authentication. If there has been no previous EHLO or HELO command this session, this method tries ESMTP EHLO first. This method will return normally if the authentication was successful. This method may raise the following exceptions: SMTPHeloErrorThe server didn't reply properly to the helo greeting. SMTPAuthenticationError The server didn't accept the username/ password combination. SMTPExceptionNo suitable authentication method was found. Once you've got that module loaded, you can do things like s.login(my username, my password) and see what's returned.

I.e. when I run authtest, strace'ing the authdaemon shows that my query looks like the following: # ./authtest [EMAIL PROTECTED] write(4, UID=100\nGID=101\nHOME=/home/vmail/insidecinema/mark\[EMAIL PROTECTED]\nNAME=Mark Gallay\nMAILDIR=/home/vmail/insidecinema/mark/Maildir\nPASSWD=.IZR1DVmCpyd2\nPASSWD2=test123\n.\n, 183) = 183 But when I authenticate using esmtp, I see: send(6, QSELECT mail_id, mail_crypt, mail_clear, uid, gid, home, maildir, \'\', name FROM mail_passwd WHERE mail_id = \'mark\'\0, 115, 0) = 115 Notice that [EMAIL PROTECTED] has become just mark. This isn't happening in the pop3d, and so I'm wondering where in the config courier is getting the idea that I want it to alter the data it sends to the database.

Re: [courier-users] Re: 0.35.1 Solaris 8 : crash/restore probleme
So to make a backup/restore process possible, you have to write a
script that'll rename files based on the inode of the file that the
name is generated from.
The general approach is
foreach file in $queue_dir; do
$INUM=$(ls -ils | awk '{print $1}')
for i in $(find $queue_dir -name $file*); do
mv $i $INUM
done
done
This is just the idea. I don't remember w/o reading the internals of
the precise filenames and directory structures, but the above could be
turned into a queue_restore process after some trial and error.

Re: [courier-users] virtual email
You assign one real uid/gid combination(to own the maildirs, etc) and you build a database (either userdb, ldap, postgres, mysql, or anything else you want to program for) and use that database to authenticate users, with all uid and gid set the the virtual user that you set up.

Re: [courier-users] Auto-upload mail from backup server to main server?
You could deliver all email that you're intending to forward into a maildir and user djb's serialmail to deliver when you want it to. Its pretty simple to setup and should work fine with a virtualdomain setup for each domain that you backup. You could just set serialmail to run ever 5 or 10 minutes automaticly and you'd have automated store and forward. -Peter On Tue, Jan 15, 2002 at 07:28:46AM +, William Hue wrote: Hi All, I've been using Courier since v0.29.0; great product!

Re: [courier-users] Auto-upload mail from backup server to main server?
Its easy to use, but if the documentation doesn't do it for you let me know and I'll send you a one-liner that works for me from a backup host. For those who are interested the advantages of this over a normal backup MX scenario are as follows: 1) Serialmail never bounces. If your DNS gets completely shot and you're upstream nameserver is returning authoritative nxdomain for your main server while its unreachable (or something along those lines) and your backup host works, serialmail will not bounce the email - it'll just retry. 2) Its seperate from your other services.

I've got a patch almost ready. The attached patch adds the esmtpd-ssl

However, it doesn't work. Yeah, sorta useless... but it's close. It
looks like the problem is that when courieresmtpd is started under
couriertls, the socket is nonblocking, so instead of reading lines it
reads the entire buffer's worth of characters (5k) before giving a
responce. So that needs to be fixed before it'll work.
I notice that esmtpd calls read() on the sockets, where the pop server
(for instance) calls fgets on stdin. Why they are designed differently, I
dunno.
If someone else finishes this before I do (I have some other stuff to work

You built the rpm's and it found a perl install in /usr/local/bin. However rpm only knows about perl if you installed a perl rpm. Solution: if this is the only problem you're seeing, then just run rpm -Uvh --nodeps courier-*.rpm On Tue, Dec 11, 2001 at 11:16:39AM -0800, Sysop wrote: I built the rpm's and everything went good. I then went to rpm -Uvh the packages that I had installed from previous courier versions, and I get this output: error: failed dependencies: /usr/local/bin/perl is needed by courier-0.36.1.20011210-1.7.1 /usr/local/bin/perl is needed by courier-webmail-0.36.1.20011210-1.7.1 The thing is, I DO have a file /usr/local/bin/perl but which perl shows /usr/bin/perl What could be wrong?

I'll postulate that someone put a symlink in /usr/local/bin and it was the first perl that the configure script tried out. -Peter P.S.

[courier-users] Password changing in sqwebmail
I'm using the webmail portion of courier. My system is entirely virtual-user based - no users will shells are to receive email, and no email addresses have shells. Would the webmail password change form be useful for my environment? -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan.

[courier-users] calendar goals?
Is there any intention to make the calendar backend work as an icalendar (rfc 2445). I'm starting to read the rfc, and I've noticed that there's the beginnings of an implementation of some part of the library under the name of libical at sourceforge. Again, focusing on evolution (and I guess outlook and netscape) having a calendar server as part of courier would be cool. I'm going to assume, before reading the RFC, that implementing an icalendar server is a PITA, but if it is possible has anyone done it, and would having courier's calendar access this be useful? -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan.

[courier-users] smtps again
I've been playing with couriertls and I'm still a bit confused.
