Re: having trouble w/ vQregister install
Right, it calls qmail-remote directly. Michael23, I think it's working.

It was sent to the default address at inter7.com ;] Check over your configuration and files. Ken Jones Frank Precissi wrote: I had the same problem.

Use user instead of user%dominio
Hi all Now , i'm working with qmail-1.03 vpopmail-4.9.8-1 qmailadmin-0.42 sqwebmail-1.2.5 thank all for you help But i want users don't need to authenticate with usr%dominio, i want them use only user.

For example i have the domain sre.pue.gob.mx when i ask to nslookup with nslookup -q=mx sre.pue.gob.mx i got10.21.1.242 when i ask to nslookup for 10.21.1.242 i got sre.pue.gob.mx i think this is correct, but users need to authenticate user%domain Where is the problem? thanks in advance

Trying to use qmail on CODA? Read this
Hi to all I'm sending this mail to prevent nightmares to all users trying to use CODA and qmail together. qmail use a cool way to copy files between dirs (link() function) unallowed on CodaFS. So, the first thing is to modify qmail, with qmail-coda.patch. But if you are using Vpopmail too (http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/), well your nightmares aren't gone away: vpopmail (before 4.9.9, develop as the time of this mail) uses the same function as qmail, so the problem will persist. You have two choices: (preferred) use the new version of vpopmail, (deferred) use vpopmail-coda.patch (note: the patch remove link() function and new vpopmail integrate a check to see if hardlinks are allowed - if not, rename will be used: of course, last choice is to be preferred). I hope it helps and thanks to all people around making these great softwares.

RE: Using pop to get email from sqwebmail
That is the problem. You can't catch it when it happens. Nothing out of the ordinary, except I did find a webmail.cgi script in a users dir. I am kinda questioning that. Brock has just informed me that entire problem is dns related, it isn't qmail related. Without dns, qmail won't work. The reverse delegation is the problem. The server is able to look up the reverse delegation as it is. But.. the dns service crashes occassionally. But I say nothing is affected except Pop. Everything else runs smooth. as far as cron analog is running and checkservice when accessed.. I guess I am on wrong list?? but seemed so right. Sorry to bother you all.

Re: Using pop to get email from sqwebmail
Anyone recommend a good admin Redhat Linux Book and DNS???. Thanks. As for DNS, id recommend the O'Reilly DNS and BIND book. Although its based on V8 (at the moment) and most people now use V9 due to a security problem, the ideas are the same. If you need a real quick fix to it, try installing webmin (www.webmin.com) or if youre stuck on that, I can probably help you if you email me i'll write you some instructions on getting a quick reverse DNS running. Id recommend you dont buy a redhat linux book, it wont help you much, just buy books for individual software, as you will find the more experienced with redhat you get, the more need you will feel to change it ;)
Vpopmail-4.9.8-1 and Ezmlm-IDX 0.53
Hi everyone, I was sort of hoping someone here could help me. I have a Qmail Server running with Vpopmail-4.9.8-1, and it works well. I can use the vadduser and vadddomain to create users, and I can pick up mail over pop and smtp is working well, after a bit of playing around. Now I've installed ezmlm-idx 0.53 on my system, and all seems good. I run the ezmlm-make like this: ezmlm-make /home/vpopmail/domains/domainname/listname \ /home/vpopmail/domains/domainname/.qmail-listname \ listname domainname And the command runs without problem, and adds the directory and a whole lot of stuff in it. I then run: ezmlm-sub /home/vpopmail/domains/domainname/listname \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] To check, I run: ezmlm-list /home/vpopmail/domains/domainname/listname and my e-mail address is returned. So then I go to my workstation and send an e-mail from that address to listname@domainname. And that is that last I see of the e-mail. Never again. :-S I went looking through some files, and found a command in the .qmail file that says ezmlm-send /home/vpopmail/domains/domainname/listname. I figured I'd give it a go and run it myself, and it just sits there, as if it's working, but it's not doing anything. Eventually, I have to Ctrl+C out. Can anyone help me out with this? I'm really stuck here. - David
