IMO the "security cost" of saving cleartext passwords on the server is not worth the "security gain" of having POP3 passwords encrypted when the user checks his mail. If someone is sniffing pop3 passwords then he has the ability to (most likely) only obtain a small number of passwords that way, as opposed to the attacker who has an account on the server. If he can find a security hole that allows him to read files that don't belong to him, he now has the entire list of passwords. If you're concerned about email security, APOP is not worth it. Go with SSL, or another security model (like having virtual POP3 accounts that aren't UNIX users). --Adam

Can send, but not retrieve mail
Greetings: I have installed qmail and vpopmail on a dedicated server. The hostname is inloc.inloc.com and there are 5 IP's on this machine. I've registered a domain name (ducaniveaux.com) to one of them, using a host-provided program called 'spectro', and I want to do virtual subhosting under it. I receive mail as expected in the Maildir, /home/vpopmail/domains/ducaniveaux.com/postmaster/Maildir/new, but I can't retrieve it; I get a: Connection reset by remote side (10054) message. Is it perhaps because I don't have the DNS MX records set up correctly? There is no 'named.hosts' file on my machine. Because this is a dedicated server, perhaps they are handling this elsewhere. Moreover, when I installed qmail, I got the following message: --- Checking local IP addresses: 127.0.0.1: Adding localhost to control/locals... 216.71.84.136: Adding inloc.inloc.com to control/locals... 64.33.89.34: PTR lookup failed.

I have tried out several versions of daemontools (0.60, 0.61 and 0.70), both native and gcc compilers. I also don't think there is a memory problem as the compile goes fine and the system should have plenty of memory.

As fate would have it, a couple servers were being brute-forced, and they generated a bunch of mail. After a few hours, I reached my quota, so qmail started bouncing the mail back to the originator. When the originator received the mail, it forwarded it back to the one account, which bounced it back to the originator, which forwarded it to the one account, which bounced it . . .

For a strange reason, when i try to get a message from the pop3 server, the system does not accept my password. Changing the password, the problem continues. I have tried to set up /VAR/SPOOL/MAIL/$USER type with procmail, and there was another problem. -ERR locking file or directory. Every time a get a message, the server does non delete the e-mail, and give me the same error, and sometimes refuse my password too The installation and the relay smtp was good for everyone on my net.

QMAIL delivery delay problem
Hello, can anybody help me with this : I have just installed the QMAIL package (i've done this many times). It seems to be running KO, except that when a message is delivered to the queue - nothing happens. QMAIL waits for about 10-20-60 minutes and then it sends the messages that are in the queue. Sometimes it doesn't send them at all. Nothing is written in the LOG files. No errors, no attempts, nothing at all. If I kill qmail-send and restart it - it immediately delivers any messages in the queue, but then again starts waiting for very long periods. I don't have proper revese DNS running. Can anybody give me a clue ?

tcpserver alpha linux problems
Hi all, I just installed qmail, daemontools 0.70 and ucspi-tcp-0.88 on an alpha running redhat v6.2. The qmail tests for local and remote delivery from TEST.deliver work fine, but the TEST.receive tests aren't possible because nothing is listening on port 25. I did some investigating and from my qmail /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current log file, I see an endless output of: @40003960c9d802f8279c /usr/local/bin/tcpserver: error in loading shared libraries: libc.so.6.1: failed to map segment from shared object: Cannot allocate memory Now I know it's not an actual memory problem because I've got a gig of ram in the machine, so is it an alpha related problem? I've run the same setup steps on this box as I've done on many others so it isn't my setup or qmail itself I don't think...

The APOP password only controls access to the e-mail POP account. It DOES NOT have anything to do with a UNIX login account! In fact, if you allow both shell and pop access, snooping the POP password gives you the shell password, whereas you can set a single APOP password that gives access to e-mail and has absolutely nothing to do with shell access. Thus, in spite of (or because of) the clear-text APOP password storage on the server, you cannot compromise anything except e-mail by discovering the APOP password. POP over SSL solves both of these, by making no changes to the POP protocol, but just encrypting the whole session. SSL for e-mail (especially POP) is extreme overkill, causing untold client and server configuration difficulties for little or no effect, seeing as SMTP is unencrypted... /Joe
Re: Re[4]: The most secure POP server
Scott Gifford: The only particularly nasty implication of using APOP are that it requires that the server have the password stored in plaintext. The most mail-servers that i, as a simple leafnode fetching private mail, care for has my password(s) stored in plaintext somewhere anyway, so that i can loose it it and have them retrieve it for me. this "service" is offered by every mailhost, but at least nobody could sniff it off the line, which is a little more secure than pop3's plain ascii transmission. POP over SSL solves both of these, by making no changes to the POP protocol, but just encrypting the whole session. i've checked around here in germany: isp's offer pop3 access plus web access. with freenet (mobile) i just had to change my fetchmailrc to use apop, germanynet (calisto) barked, thay would not change their entire setup for just one customer, when i asked them for apop. i dared to ask only because their greeting looks like an apop prompt, and it even changes on every dialup... so much for technical competence. clemens

point where it checks the password:
print S "PASS $pass\n";
if(!WaitForOk) {
print S "QUIT\n";CgiError("Could not send password!BRPassword or username may be

}
I don't understand how, if vchkpwd is working correctly, my mail access is failing on
the password.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

It may seem a bit stupid... have you tried to put a space between the -x and the path to the cdb file? If so, can you please post the relevant script line ? Armando
what are qmail-clean commands?
I am unable to clear the queue. The MAN page of qmail-clean simply says: NAME qmail-clean - clean up the queue directory SYNOPSIS qmail-clean DESCRIPTION qmail-clean reads a cleanup command from descriptor 0, performs the cleanup, prints the results to descriptor 1, and repeats. SEE ALSO qmail-send(8) but what are these cleanup commands? where can I find them? thanks

Moving vpopmail users
Apologies is this question is out of place on this list, but I'm trying to move a working site to a new server. Working site: RH 6.0 vchkpw-3.4.5 Qmail 1.03 UW Imap (with Maildir patch) New Server: RH 6.2 (installed ok) vpopmail 4.8a (compiled and installed ok) Qmail 1.03 (compiled and installed ok) Courier IMAP (compiled and installed ok) I can get everything working just fine. It's when I try to copy my domains directory from my current production server that all goes bonkers. Is this possible? Any tricks? I've tried copying all my qmail/control and qmail/user files from the original server. I've changed the paths in the qmail/user/assign and the vpasswd files to reflect the new installation point of vpopmail. (installed to /home/vpopmail instead of /vpopmail). Like I say, if I create a new domain, test.com, the then try to auth against it (telnet localhost 110), it works like a charm. It's when I copy the users and vpasswd files from the 3.4.5 version. Help is greatly appreciated. Charlie
