Migrating a vpopmail Linux box to FreeBSD
Hello, I've got a SuSE Linux 6.3 server which runs vpopmail 4.8.5 and needs to be migrated to FreeBSD 4-Stable (or 4.1 if you want to call it that way). So what do I have to copy over to the new machine beside /home/vpopmail/domains /var/qmail/control in order to save all of the configuration information needed by qmail and vpopmail (server is configured like suggested in Life with Qmail with one minor change: qmail-popup runs under tcpserver but I intend to take all the startup stuff from the existing FreeBSD servers anyway ;-)? Is it a good idea to create a /etc/qmail dir to save all the configuration informations there and just make symlinks to /var/qmail? Best regards, Gabriel

Re: Vpopmail authentication
I want to configure my client (Outlook Express under M$) to connect to a mailbox under a virtual domain. I have created the domain e.g. vdom.com and I have created a user (named info). But I can't make a connection at all, I always get a "-ERR authorization failed". You are using "username%domain.com" as the login POP name in Outlook? Yes, I've tried that but I think that the problem must be in vchkpw because it doesn't appears to be running. If I execute it it doesn't stays running, it closes :-?

Re: know this?
Sumith Ail wrote: hi all Has anybody been successful in setting hard quota for a virtual domain instead of a user. No. We've talked alot about how to implement virtual domain quotas. Looks like the best idea is to use the file systems quota limits per user. And store each domain under a single users home directory. Which would require vpopmail to support multiple UID/GID's. This can be done, the code just needs to be written and tested. The code to support placing the domain under an arbitrary directory is already in place. Basicly it reads the /var/qmail/users/cdb file to extract uid/gid/dir information. Ken Jones
Re: problem with .qmail processing
The .qmail files under a users directory only support forwarding
email. It doesn't support the | /program commands.
You could put a .qmail-sms file in the base domain directory

Re: [paranoia] security
Oh man. Good idea you looked at this.
The solution isn't changing the access to the libraries.
It should be in the vauth modules to check for the uid
in the vauth_setpw and vauth_vpasswd functions.
I've fixed and tested it in 4.8.7
http://www.vpopmail.cx/vpopmail-4.8.7.tar.gz
You wouldn't see the problem using the cdb authentication
module. Since the cdb module requires access to files
that are protected by vpopmail permissions.
However it does show up in the other auth modules:
vmysql.c vsybase.c voracle.c
I put in checks for uid using getuid call.
The user has to be either vpopmail or root.

I can add and delete users with qmailadmin and I can check and send mail with sqwebmail but I have had no luck in getting mail remotely via POP3. When I try a test by telneting in to port 110 I get the following: # telnet mydomain.com 110 Trying 1.2.3.4 ... Connected to server.mydomain.com Escape character is '^]'. +OK 1002.694735678@/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw user [EMAIL PROTECTED] +OK pass password --ERR this user has no $HOME /Maildir Connection closed by foreign host. # I notice that "home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw" is showing up where the server name should appear. I also see that the line "CHKPASS="checkpassword"" is in myqmail-pop3d.init file. Anyone have any advice? Warren

Basicly, the C compiler on FreeBSD is a bit more sensitive then Linux dito.. If you want to remove it you could change all the mktemp() to mkstemp() as they work the same way (from a programming point-of-view), or you can just ignore the warning. Is there any reasons why this is not in the main distro? AFAIK mkstemp() should be safer then mktemp(). Best regards Michael Boman -- W I Z O F F I C E .

Reflections of what needs to be done..
EZMLM ISSUES: = The last few weeks the main questions has been the mailinglist, and as I wrote the original patch I feel somewhat responsible for it - even if it is AS-IS / worksformeware. First, I think the ezmlm package the qmailAdmin's homepage is pointing as should be patched with the idx patch (I belive ezmlm and idx is both released under GPL and therefor it's not a legal matter, but I can't find any copyright information about ezmlm). Second I think it's time to hack the ./configure script to have --enable-idx (or something simmular) that can either make the mailinglists produce the current (0.3x), or the old 0.26 behavor (ie: with or without IDX support. This should include copy the correct template file during "make install" process). I'll make these changes to my globaladmin right away. AUTORESPONDER ISSUES: = Another thing has been the auto-responder issue. I belive that updating the auto-responder to the one Matthias Henze [EMAIL PROTECTED] have done is apropiate, and modify qmailAdmin to make use of the options you can supply to it. GLOBALADMIN: GlobalAdmin is not really a fork of qmailAdmin yet, and not intedent to be. Im currently fixing those pices of code Ken put in there a long time ago and now have forgotten and don't want to use at the moment. The reson for the new name is that the CGI that globaladmin produces need's to be SUID root, and therefor is not suitible to use for user-administration, nor shouldn't be required to be installed to produce a normal qmailAdmin binary. All I need to know now is how do I upload files with CVS? =) Also as I am already inside the code and hacking I am fixing any kind of error I see. Ken: Would you like to have what I got now? It's not that much, but I'd say it's an improvment from what was there from the beginning =) I still have issues with adding/deleting/enter domains, and the edit code is not even there (hehe.. so much of an improvement). I've added the default WWW and cgi-bin locations for Debian as well so a ./configure can find the directories. QMAIL/VPOPMAIL AND MRTG: It's not that hard to get it produces nice graphs over how busy your SMTP/mail server is, but something I would like to see is MRTG friendly statitics on how busy your POP3 server is, and possible also if the output could be split out on a per-domain basis as well.. This is off-topic, I know, but it sure would impress the upper managment in any orginazation as well as give statitics so you can better plan for the future (maybe a separate POP3 box is needed in the next 3 months [for an example]). That's all I had to say for now Best regards Michael Boman -- W I Z O F F I C E .
