On installation of VPOPMAIL everything works fine i am able to reveive and send emails to virtual domains.

I checked the domains directory in vpopmail, everything is there as it is. But none of the domains are accessible through any of the vpopmail executables, i tried vuserinfo also it says no such user or domain. But the same setup works fine for half an hour immediately after installation, i was able to vuserinfo on the user, and was able to send and receive emails. I checked the logs also it says cannot chdir to maildir. For any incoming emails which are received and it does not recognize the pop user for incoming emails. I am very confused now since if there was any configuration problem it should not work at all (but it works for inital half hour or so). After having the problem if i remove all the domain directorys from the domains directory in vpopmail. And again add the domains everything works fine again. But stops agina after sometime. Have anyone faced this kind of problem? Any solutions?? Suggestions? Any help will be appreciated. (BTW, i tried the same with VPOPMAIL 4.9.6-1 and the same problem occured) Arvind Agarwal

Hello Tiberiu, Friday, January 05, 2001, 2:53:32 PM, you wrote: If you want domain1.com to be a "real" domain, don't use vpopmail for it. Create real user accounts on the server, and let qmail handle mail mail for domain1.com as it would normally, without vpopmail interfering! I had that problem too. But I did it in a different way, because I had a lot of users to create. I createt the virtualdomain with vadddomain domain1.com and than I created the users with vadduser user. After that I created in the domain directory .qmail-user files with the /path/to/user/Maildir/ in it. There was just one thing I don´t know, it only worked with vpopmail 4.9.4. 4.9.5. was not able to log into the users Maildir. Does that problem in the actuall version still exist? Hans-Juergen

Re: in a username
Aaron Seelye wrote: Hello, I'm finally getting the go-ahead from up above to migrate our mail from NT to un*x, and am using vpopmail. It works great for the ~25 domains I have currently running on it, but now that I'm migrating rather than starting fresh, a few of our users have ""'s in their usernames, and vadduser doesn't like that. Is there any way around this, or am I going to have to tell the user "too bad"? Aaron I'm not sure, but I think "" is an illegal character in email addresses. Does anyone know for sure? If it is legal, I can update the vpopmail code to allow it. If it's not legal, you'll have to say "too bad" to the user :) Ken Jones
Re: vadduser question!
Tiberiu Vintilescu wrote: Hi guys! I am new to qmail vpopmail. I have a computer running FreeBSD 4.2, configured as a dns mail server. This serves the domain domain1.com. Using vpopmail I want to create a virtual domain domain2.com Everything works fine for any user in the virtual domain (domain2.com). I mean I am able to sent receive messages from to a client workstation. I used the command "vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED]". Reading the FAQ the manual for vpopmail, I understood that if I use just "vadduser user", vpopmail will assume that this is a local user on the default domain (domain1.com in my case). The user created that way was added into /usr/local/vpopmail/users and it has a Maildir and an entry in vchkpw. The problem is that I am not able to read the e-mail for this "default domain" user. I compiled vpopmail with the option --enable-default-domain=domain1.com. I have no clue. I don't want to create a virtual domain "domain1.com". I want just to use this option and I don't understand why it's not working. Any help will be appreciated! Thank you in advanced! --enable-default-domain=domain1.com is not the same thing as vadduser user It is the same thing as doing: vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] vadduser does not automatically tack on your "default domain". What I suggest is: 1) remove all your users in /usr/local/vpopmail/users 2) vdeldomain everything 3) vadddomain domain1.com 4) vadddomain domain2.com 5) vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6) vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] When ever you run vadduser, *always* include the domain name. I think the whole /usr/local/vpopmail/users thing is crap, but it's there for backward compatibility. Ken Jones

Virtual account vs. real accounts!
Hello Everybody! I would like to ask you, if it is possible to set both virtual and real (shell) accounts for THE SAME domain? Example: I have a domain, which is real one for my system: I have few shell accounts on the system, but for other users I would like to set only virtual mail accounts (with sqwebmail and vpopmail). Is it possible to do it on the only one real domain? The real accounts have their post in: /home/user/Maildir, and the virtual ones in standard virtual localisation: /home/vpopmail/.../user/Maildir I have an idea, but maybe there are other, better possibilities: First, I create the virtual domain (the same name as the real domain), then I add the names of real accounts to the virtual domain, and then I thought about simple linking: rm -rf /home/vpopmail/.../user/Maildir ln -s /home/user/Maildir /home/vpopmail//user/Maildir chgrp -R vchkpw /home/user/Maildir chmod -R g+rwx /home/user/Maildir I want, that the shell users can read their post both, with system mail reader, i.e. mutt (from /home/user/Maildir), and with sqwebmail (from /home/vpopmail/.../user/Maildir, which will be link to /home/user/Maildir). What do you think that idea? Is it secure? Thank you for your help. PK --- Peter In Person ---Cudowna jest Marylka!---

Re: Relaying!
you can do vmoduser -r emailaddr This is *supposed* to work for individual users or the domain, but only per user works in 4.9.6 and 4.9.6-1. I mentioned this before on the list, but have heard no response. Ken: I think it would be great if you could set a domain have certain flags set by default, like no relaying or no imap access. This would eliminate the need to run vmoduser after vadduser. Regards, Bill Shupp on 1/5/01 1:17 PM, Tiberiu Vintilescu at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi guys! I have got two virtual domains!

Re: Virtual account vs. real accounts!
vpopmail is just that: Virtual POP MAIL. Granted you can get IMAP working with either courier or with a patched version of wu, but it is not designed to have local user accounts reading their mail through a shell program. if you want to have virtual accounts, have your users get their mail via POP. If you want them to be able to use mutt, build multiple boxes. -- *** Matthew H Patterson Unix Systems Administrator National Support Center, LLC Naperville, Illinois, USA *** On Fri, 05 Jan 2001, pkurys wrote: I have an idea, but maybe there are other, better possibilities: First, I create the virtual domain (the same name as the real domain), then I add the names of real accounts to the virtual domain, and then I thought about simple linking: rm -rf /home/vpopmail/.../user/Maildir ln -s /home/user/Maildir /home/vpopmail//user/Maildir chgrp -R vchkpw /home/user/Maildir chmod -R g+rwx /home/user/Maildir No, it doesn't work: I mean, vpopmail uses correctly such a link, but it then writes new messages as: -rw--- vpopmail vchkpw file_name so user can't read it by mutt, because he is no owner of his new messages!
