Re: vchkpw eats 99% of cpu time
Starting with svscan with something like this in /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3/run: #!/bin/sh HOSTNAME=`hostname -f` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ 0 pop-3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup $HOSTNAME \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d ./Maildir/ 21 In 90% of all cases popping the mails works fine. The other 10% create a vchkpw process consuming 99% cpu time, staying there till I send a SIGKILL. Any solutions for this scenario? There are 2 things I can think of: 1) Remove the softlimit line and accept the system default limit 2) Remove the -p flag in your tcpserver to stop reverse DNS lookup I believe it wasn't a problem with vchkpw. If your configuration allows you to use checkpassword, change it and see what happen. I also believe a temporarily fix is to NOT supervise it so let the process dies if it has to without attempt to restart it (which might be the 99% cpu time consuming) _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
Re: vchkpw eats 99% of cpu time
One more thing, why you wanted to check against tcp.smtp.cdb for pop3d? It just causes unnecessary overhead since pop3d requires authentication. _ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
Re: qmailadmin can change pop password but not the webpass
Have you tried to change the password via the sqwebmail preferences screen? These settings won't affect the qmailadmin software, only the sqwebmail software.

Next 5.0 features
Not related to vpopmail but since you guys do qmailadmin as well here it goes. It would be nice for qmailadmin to report when was the last time the user visited his account so that on large systems one could delete non-active accounts. My 2 cents. Leo.

(Sorry, I continue to write to vpopmail list, abot not directly vpopmail.)
Good idea...
Also, wouldn't it be a nice feature if swebmail prints something like:

Two issues
Two issues: 1) Although i've created a ~vpopmail/domains/domain.net/.over-quota.msg it didn't became active. a) If this is a "file permission" problem, then what file permissions may this file have? (i tried some, but didnt work) b) Do I need to restart qmail to have that new over-qupate-msg become active? (i tried this too!) 2) when I add a user with command "./vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] 123 -q 3072" doesn't that user have a 3 K quota? After adding that account i send a mail which is nearly 30 K to him and can't get any error/bounce msg. so mail is delivered successfuly(!)... But when i do a "./vsetuserquota [EMAIL PROTECTED] 3072" and send that same mail again, after this command, then i get the bounce msg, as expected. Any ideas on why vadduser's "-q" doesnt work fine ?

Moving the install from one box to another.
I am trying to moving a qmail/vpopmail install from one box to another nothing i do seems to work. I tried recompiling stuff and copying the database over and all of the config files. That didn't work i end up where qmail will accept the mail but just puts it into the q and it sits there till i restart the server. I tried taking my install from the other box and taring up everything and i seem to send up with the same results. If anyone know anything that might help lemme know. T.J. Conway
