[toaster] netqmail + qmail-toaster-0.6-1 + chkuser-0.6.mysql with vpopamil-5.4.3 chkusr doesn't work
I've downloaded the latest netqmail and patched with qmail-toaster-0.6-1 then chkuser-0.6.mysql, modifyied conf-mysql and conf-vpopmail to suit my directory structure, then do make and make setup check, and the installation is ok. Then the chkusr patch simply doesn't work, it accept email even to user that doesn't exist. It could be that chkusr (crappy old software badly mantained and nevery upgraded) doesn't work with the new vpopmail version? Consider that: catchall isn't set vpopmail use mysql for auth and chkuser too i've alread used vchkusr and work find with older vpopmail version. Regards. -- Davide Giunchi

I would not call it crappy old software badly mantained and nevery upgraded at all. And it's in pretty bad taste to suggest that that is the case, when some of us have put a LOT of our time into it. If there is indeed a bug in the way it interacts with the latest vpopmail mysql module, then a detailed description is all that is needed. A patch would be even more productive. Could it *possibly* be that you don't have it configured correctly? Perhaps you'd like your money back? Oh, wait... Sheesh! Bill

Yes, a lot of people put it's time working to patching this, i'm not referring to this people, but the author of chkuser doesn't never upgraded chkuser, even with bug reports. Could it *possibly* be that you don't have it configured correctly? could it be! but the things to be configurend in chkuser are very little: permission of qmail-smtpd, owner of qmail-smtp, tcpserver -u and -g. Here it's the setup session: vpopmail-5.4.3: ./configure --enable-roaming-users --enable-auth-module=mysql --disable-file-locking --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-relay-clear-minutes=90 netqmail + patches installation: wget http://www.qmail.org/netqmail-1.05.tar.gz tar xzvf netqmail-1.05.tar.gz cd netqmail-1.05 ./collate.sh cd netqmail-1.05 wget http://shupp.org/patches/qmail-toaster-0.6-1.patch.bz2 bunzip2 qmail-toaster-0.6-1.patch.bz2 patch qmail-toaster-0.6-1.patch wget http://shupp.org/patches/chkuser-0.6.mysql.patch patch chkuser-0.6.mysql.patch vi conf-cc conf-mysql conf-vpopmail /etc/init.d/qmail /etc/init.d/qmail stop make make setup check (here sometimes try to chown and chmod /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd) /etc/init.d/qmail start Then if you send an email to a nonexistent user it get accepted. I use qmail since a lot of time and i've spend a lot of hour trying to apply the chk patch correctly (even without the bill's cumulative) and never worked, it think that chk it's one of the most tricky patch.

[toaster] Chkuser - Mysql -Gateway
Hello people, I have two server for a big domain. One of them is a SMTP-MX-ANTIVIRUS it receive all incoming and outgoiing mail, check for virus and forward messages to another machine (by a smtproute), a POP server which I use netqmail+qmail-toaster+vpopmail 5.4.2+Mysql and users' homedirs. I want to user chkuser-mysql in my SMTP-MX-ANTIVIR to deny incoming SMTP for unknown virtual domain users before forwarding message to antivirus and pop server to reduce antivirus working. I have replicated my vpopmail database from POP server to SMTP server yet, and create a fake /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com.br/.qmail-default (with bounce-no-mailbox) but chkuser still doesn work. What does the chkuser patch are looking for? It works with my POP server without any problem, perhaps virtualdomains is needed? How can I use chkuser against a replicated mysql-vpopmail-db if I don want to deliver messages locally (I want to use smtproute)? My control files at SMTP gateways are : locals : empty virtualdomains : empty rcpthosts : localhost and mydomain.com.br Thanks in advance, Mário Viana ISP Network Admin

How can I use chkuser /var/qmail/control/ and /var/qmail/users/* must be also replicated in order to get chkusr patch working correctly ;) Or maybe you want to modify source to fetch virtual domains from textfile. -- Eero
