I will explain in more detail why this solution doesn't work for me. Many mail clients the default or only action is to send mail before checking mail. So what happens is the mail client happily sends all mail in the outbox then checks there mail via pop. This works fine until all that mail just sent gets bounced right back from the smtp server because the mail client had not authenticated with pop first allowing them relay access. Then I end up with a very annoyed and confused user (is there any other kind?). So the best solution I can see for this is smtp auth. Not all clients out are supporting smtp-auth (unfortunately). If your clients are employees, this is fixable, if they are customers, i don't see an alternative to smtp after pop - smtp auth additionally is a good idea. Also another question with qmail-smtp-auth if a host is already set up as a relay client do they need to still provide a login password to get relay access? no. -- Henning Brauer | BS Web Services Hostmaster BSWS| Roedingsmarkt 14 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 20459 Hamburg http://www.bsws.de | Germany On Thu, Jan 11, 2001 at 06:09:48PM -0500, Vince Vielhaber wrote: On Thu, 11 Jan 2001, Kris Kelley wrote: You're not going to find any ESMTP AUTH solutions for qmail that don't involve patching qmail's source.

Can I just copy the users' Maildir (with its contents) to the new machine? What I plan to do is this: 1. configure new machine as mail2 2. add user accounts to mail2 3. stop mail1 from receiving mails from users by unsetting RELAYCLIENT 4. wait till mail1 sends all mails currently in queue 5. stop qmail-smtpd on mail1 6. backup users' Maildir 7. transfer backup to mail2 8. disconnect mail1 9. rename mail2 to mail1 10. restart mail services on new mail1 Is this the correct way to transfer mails?

Re: [vmailmgr] SMTP and VMailMgr
Lars, I happen to be having the exact same problem. Well, almost, I think my issue is reversed. Mail coming in from external STMP checks fine, and ends up in the correct area and mail boxes. Users checking their e-mail via POP-3 are told they do not exist, and therefore are not able to pickup mail. I have one user exempt to this, but not on purpose. A previous user set up in the system seems to be able to read e-mails from his home Maildir. I know what your going to say, but mail is not sent to his home Maildir, it is sent to the alternate within vmailmgr settings. Well you got that one right. So infact that is the only user that can log in, but has not a single piece of mail to where qmail is getting is mail from. Basically when an external user attempts to connect to POP3 they are told they don't exist, because qmail-pop3d is not looking in the correct area when they get handled by 'checkvpw'. (my guess) so, how do I change it? Anyway, no user is loosing mail, as it is all getting saved in the right area. If anyone comes up with a solution to this, it would be greatly appreciated! Cheers, Sean Lars Skovlund wrote: Hi all, I have a problem with VMailMgr. When doing SMTP, I am told that the user does not exist - POP3 seems to work fine (although, of course, no mail is in the mailbox). Putting a few debug statements in vdeliver shows that the program is, in fact, invoked.

I suspect that qmail now handles more Internet mail deliveries than Sendmail does, although I don't know a good way to measure this. The problem is getting the random sample. You can't just count servers, you have to count traffic. And when you start to do that, it becomes quite difficult to come up with a good random sample. Best I can think of is to do what the FBI does: arrange with some Internet provider to put a traffic analyzer somewhere on their backbone, and sniff for SMTP sessions. Check the MTA's on both ends and give each credit for handling an Internet mail delivery. You could examine a set of log files, but then how do you count them? You can't count the MTA that sent and received the email because it's completely non-random. And yet, that throws off your statistics. I could, for example, get you the log files for Rediff.com. They're an Indian portal that probably handles 50% of all email in and out of India. From the smtpd and qmail log files you could contact each sending and receiving site. You could identify the MTA, and count that as "an Internet mail delivery". But that sample would be weighted towards personal email, and away from workplace email. That makes it much less random. I could also get you the log files for two ISPs that send daily mail to all of their customers. But that weights the sample towards people interested in that kind of mail. -- -russ nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://russnelson.com | Government is the Crynwr sells support for free software | PGPok | fictitious entity by which 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315 268 1925 voice | everyone seeks to live at Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | +1 315 268 9201 FAX | everyone else's expense.
