AW: .qmail-default Problem
Yes , I have some users on server1 with domain1, and there are other users on server2 also with domain1. I want all e-mail that is sent to users that are not on server1, to be sent to server 2, so they all get their e-mails Andrei Gologan I have setup qmail with vpopmail. Everyting works. We have users on more machines all with [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have setup qmail for a few user on a server (1). The users can send and receive e-mail to all other domains with no problems. Only when they try to send to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (this user is not on the local computer (1) ), they get an error- no user because of "bounce-no-mailbox" in .qmail-default I have: "| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox" What do I have to put instead of "bounce-no-mailbox" to get all mail sent to the nonlocal domain1.dom users, to be sent to server2 ? Andrei I am confused. You want email that is send to domain1.com users to be sent to server2? Ken Jones
Virtual domain mail to Internet ?
Dear all, I have been installed vpopmail with qmail and have 3(three) virtual domain in the local area network, with private IP (192.168.0.1). In this server I have installed DNS too. How to setting connection my mail server to my ISP (Internet Service Provider), if I have both registered IP address and domain so that my 'all virtual domain' can deliver and receive from/to other domain registered in the Internet ? I hope any suggested for this solution. Thanks Arif

A question of defaulting
Ok, so everything seems good. However. Before I installed vpopmail I had a little C prog that went into my -default files for my domains and if it found an entry in the database that matched, returned the proper alias to forward to. I would like to do that here as well, but I am not sure how to go about it. It could go before the vdelivermail but I would prefer it to run after, I think.

tcp.smtp.tmp.*
While this question may make me look foolish... I cannot figure out what I missed in the vpopmail build/install process that is causing the build up of tcp.smtp.tmp.* files on my system. I need to support roaming users, so I built that in and followed all of the instructions as I understand them, yet the temp files just keep accumulating. I'm wary of just scheduling a cron job to clean them up, because I don't know exactly what part of vpopmail's system (or is it something caused by tcpserver or qmail? I doubt it.) is creating and/or using these files. My suspicion is that vchkpw is creating them after validating a user, but I don't know when they're incorporated into tcp.smtp.cdb, so I'm not sure when they're safe to delete. I think I've rambled enough. I hope someone will understand my question and be able to help me find a solution. Thanks, Steve Valliere

It is possible to confuse vpopmail library with strange entries in these files. If it's a new system, you might get by with cleaning out all the files and starting fresh. Ken Jones Well, I've decided to write a perl script to check the contents of the virtual domain directory to what's in rcpthosts and morerctphosts, and call that from crontab every night. If you want, I'll post it to you (and to the list if there's enough demand) for people to use for a sanity checking routine. That would be great to add to the distribution. Ken

For multilog add nNumber sSize where Number = max number of files and Size = max size of each file (default is 100K) Ken Jones

Re: AW: .qmail-default Problem
Here is an idea. If email comes into server1 for domain1, and they do not exist in the vpasswd file, then forward them off to server2. You can do this in the .qmail-default file with: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail `` $EXT@server2 That will send all non matching email over to user@server2 Ken "Gologan, Andrei" wrote: Yes , I have some users on server1 with domain1, and there are other users on server2 also with domain1.

I know we fixed this in a later version, and the problem has not come back. Perhaps upgrading would fix your problem. I'm running version 4.8a that I downloaded from inter7.com not more than a month ago. But I'll look for a new version anyway... I have a nasty tendency to mess up file/group permissions and ownership, since I'm relatively new to linux. I didn't see anything in the instructions about specific requirements, but perhaps that might also have something to do with my problem. Steve
RE: A question of defaulting
I use fastforward (http://cr.yp.to/fastforward.html) for this purpose. I run a cron job (writtin in Perl) that grabs the aliases forwarding addresses from a database and opens a pipe to the 'setforward' command to create the CDB forwarding database. fastforward is written by D.J. Bernstein (the guy who wrote qmail), so it's very fast/efficient/reliable (as all of D.J's software seems to be!) My .qmail-default file looks like this: | /var/qmail/bin/fastforward -p /location/of/forward.cdb | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox Here's the important part: the -p switch to fastforward tells it to only forward the message if it finds a matching alias, otherwise it returns the appropriate error code and qmail will go on to the next line in the -default file, and attempt to deliver using vdelivermail. I hope that makes sense or is somehow helpful to you. You could probably do something similar with your own program--by returning the proper error code you can change the way qmail handles the rest of the lines in the -default file. -Kevin -Original Message- From: Anthony R.

Can mysql auth and cdb auth co-exist?
I ahve tried this with 4.8.7 as well as 4.9 and can't seem to get it to work. I want to enable BOTH mysql and cdb authentication so I can gradually move my domains over from cdb to mysql. Can this be done? If you say yes, then what do I need to do? I only ask this question as I have tried this a half dozen times on our existing qmail+vpopmail server and it does not work. Once installed, I get these errors in /var/log/maillog: Sep 5 17:31:29 voyager vpopmail[4402]: vchkpw: No virt found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:207.206.15.107 No matter who tries to pop thier mail, a cdb based domain or a mysql based domain. My installation of qmail is very close to that in the LWQ faq. It has worked fine for the past 9 months, and have no complaints. I just want to migrate to mysql authentication. I would appreciate some help.
