[toaster] chkuser-mysql patch problem
Hi all, I've just upgraded (again) my qmail installation, in an attempt to cut out spam trying random email addresses to my domains, using chkuser-0.6.mysql.patch. I've followed the whole instalation procedure, compiled successfully qmail with the patches. The problem I found is, when using inside .qmail-default, maildrop, the mails are delivered but is not triggered the chkuser patch. And if I use inside .qmail-default, vdelivermail, all mails are rejected, with 550 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1 - chkusr) . Now, looking at mysql access logs, vdelivermail is not looking at mysql to see whether the user exists or not, therefore all emails (included the ones to valid users) are rejected. Has anyone tried this patch and had similar problem? Thanks for your help.
Re: [toaster] chkuser-mysql patch problem
We use the patch with mysql and it works fine. Make sure that you have vpopmail compiled with mysql-auth support. chkuser is a patch to qmail so that it rejects the smtp connection if the email address does not have a valid user name.

Yes, vpopmail is compiled with it (I've been using mysql support for a long time already, nonetheless I recompiled it again, but yes , --enable-auth-module=mysql was in config.log). Vpopmail works fine, everything works except vdelivermail at .qmail-defaut. If I use maildrop instead in .qmail-default, and in the maildroprc file vdelivermail then works just fine. So I have no idea why vdelivermail refuses to call mysql in .qmail-default. This is my non-working .qmail-default: | /Appz2/VPopMail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox And this is the one, in another domain which does (but no chkuser is triggered): |/usr/bin/maildrop -w 90 ,in the /etc/maildroprc script, here's the line calling vdelivermail: VPOP=| /Appz2/VPopMail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox This domain calling maildrop then vdelivermail works (but chkuser doesn't).

Re: [toaster] chkuser-mysql patch problem
Your .qmail-default does not look like a standard toaster install to me. The plain jane toaster with chkuser-mysql support should say: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox At 09:59 AM 4/22/2004, you wrote: On Thu, 2004-04-22 at 14:53, Jeff Koch wrote: We use the patch with mysql and it works fine.

The plain jane toaster with chkuser-mysql support should say: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox No, I followed the install but obviously changed folders to fit my current installation. I didn't install all the DJB's tools mentioned in the guide, since I already had them. | /Appz2/VPopMail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox In what folder the vpopmail user lies doesn't change anything. As long as you call the binaries properly, at their real location. For example: it's important to notice to change the brand new created conf-vpopmail once applied the chkuser patch. conf-mysql as well. Bill's document for his toaster is completely fine. It just doens't fit already running installations. But it doesn't have to. Nonetheless, it's a very good idea having that large patch with all that funcionalities together. That's why I used it to upgrade. It's a great work. I don't think my problem lies on the way I installed it, maybe there's something wrong in the patch.
