[qmailtoaster] question regarding vpopmail-toaster
Hi All, I have just installed qmailtoaster from rpm source and am interested to know that whether vpopmail can authenticate the local (/etc/passwd) users instead of the domain users. I am asking this because I don't have virtual domains to manage. I only have primary domain. Do I need to uninstall vpopmail and configure (may need to install other authentication package) qmail to authenticate the local users? Please help me. Thanks. M Katwal

Removing the vpopmail package will break the QmailToaster. - QmailToaster hosted by: VR Hosted http://www.vr.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [qmailtoaster] question regarding vpopmail-toaster
Hi Erik and all, Thank you for your prompt reply. Is there a way we can tweak vpopmail so that I can use existing local users without having to create new users? OR is it possible to migrate all of my users to vpopmail users without having to change their password and still be able to manage all of my users that would point the primary domain (by creating new thru vpopmail)? any help or suggestion is appreciated.

Hello Manoj Thank you for your prompt reply. Is there a way we can tweak vpopmail so that I can use existing local users without having to create new users? OR is it possible to migrate all of my users to vpopmail users without having to change their password and still be able to manage all of my users that would point the primary domain (by creating new thru vpopmail)? Tweaking vpopmail to use local users is fairly simple, if you are comfortable with modifying rpm spec files. I think Quinn sent the options that need to be changed. I'll dig it up when I get a chance, or perhaps you can check out the archive. It was literally in the last two days or so. I know that Jake has a few scripts to convert local users to vpopmail users, so maybe he'll chime in on that one. any help or suggestion is appreciated. Thanks.

Re: [qmailtoaster] question regarding vpopmail-toaster
Hi Manoj Changing these options will enable vpopmail to authenticate against users in /etc/passwd. I haven't done this myself, but as I understand it, vpopmail will then be able to find where to deliver mail by getting the user's home path from /etc/passwd and delivering mail to ~/Maildir instead of into the virtual users directories under /home/vpopmail/domains. I'm not 100% certain on this. Also, if users don't have mail stored under ~/Maildir (in Maildir++ format) you will need to migrate mail to these user maildirs. What kind of mail system are you migrating from? I recently did a complex migration from a 6-year-old sendmail server to qmail toaster so I know all the tricks. ;) Quinn - Strangecode :: Internet Consultancy http://www.strangecode.com/ +1 530 624 4410 On Mon, 13 Nov 2006 12:05:52 -0800, Erik Espinoza wrote: http://www.mail-archive.com/qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com/msg09071.html Install the vpopmail rpm and edit the spec file.

Re: [qmailtoaster] question regarding vpopmail-toaster
Hi Quinn, Thank you for your answer. I am using qmail (6 year old) in ~/Maildir format. I am replacing my current server with fressh Fedora 5 installation. I like qmailtoaster package since it has integrated all supported packages that I want except I donot have plan to host multiple domains-- and this is where I need to use the local users. I am going to recompile vpopmail-toaster with system passwords = ON (enabled) and give it a try and see what happens. Prior to your email, Erick pointed out to your earlier archive and I have read it. I will let you and all know how it goes. Once again, thank you for helping me out. Best regards, M.

Quinn, There is a placeholder on the wiki for upgrading from sendmail. Would you care to get the content started?

Re: [qmailtoaster] question regarding vpopmail-toaster
Most certainly. I will do it when I have a free afternoon -- although those are getting rare these days. I also have a collection of shell and perl scripts (some quite large) I used to automate my sendmail-qmail transfer, although any who uses them will most certainly need to read and fully understand them before trusting them with their data. I'm happy to contribute, but would like to clean them up slightly and provide a disclaimer. ;P Quinn On Mon, 13 Nov 2006 14:13:32 -0700, Eric Shubes wrote: There is a placeholder on the wiki for upgrading from sendmail.
