These features were built so mysql admins could load up the database and vpopmail would handle the user files. Luckily I did have a list of the clear text passwords, I build a script that was basically: echo Adding username; vadduser -q XXX username for each user and then ran it as a long batch job. It took a few hours, but it worked. You can build a clustered solution if you plan on growing above 130,000 acounts or if you want to load balence. In that case read up on mysql replication then turn on the mysql replication feature in 5.0 --enable-mysql-replication=y You can use djbdns tinydns server to radomize load across a set of clustered machines. I need to see exactly how many of the accounts are active. Due to the fact that we were outsourcing beforehand, I couldn't tell exactly which accounts were active and which were not. I'll start deleting inactive accounts after the first 3 months, so I initially expect the numbers to go down rather than up. If and when they do go up I'll be back for more as clustering is way over my head. Thanks. g PGP signature

qmail+vpopmail witchcraft
hi I'm running qmail as my smtp and pop3 server. I have normal unix-accounts and virtual accounts (qmail accounts) and qmail and vpopmail are installed by the book. I made a virtual domain and some virtual pop3 accounts with vpopmail which are made correctly. My pop3 line in inetd (yes, I'm using inetd for now, but that will change once I got this working) is: pop3stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup my.full.domain /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir The problem is that nor the normal users, or the virtual/qmail accounts can collect their mail. I've sent the accounts some mail using my own smtp server which worked (the mail is in the $HOME/Maildir of those users and I see the entires in the logs). A little test: [snip] #telnet localhost 110 Trying 1.2.3.4 ... Connected to my.full.domain. Escape character is `^]`. +OK [EMAIL PROTECTED] user username +OK pass testpass -ERR authorization failed [/snip] in my /var/log/messages, I get: [snip] Sep 18 16:15:31 my.full.domain vchkpw: vchkpw: Read error [/snip] Always the -ERR authorization failed message.

Re: inet.d script not working fine?
This is a bit of topic but...
Your hostname should just be the ns1 (pop or whatever else you want) - not
the whole full domain name.

Hi, first of all I would like to say this is the first message I post to this
mailing list.
Now I would like to post a problem I am having. I am using Linux Debian sid
on an Athlon computer. It's running kernel 2.4.9 and Qmail 1.3, as well as
Bind 9.1.3. The hostname is ns1.linuxsilo.net (i.e. /etc/hostname contains
that) and I installed vpopmail using apt-get install vpopmail-bin. It set
the username and group as well as the inet.d start script.
It seems that something must be wrong, maybe in my host configuration, maybe
in my vpopmail configuration. I state this because, after running a ps -ax
command, I get something like this in my screen:
/usr/bin/tcpserver -H -R 0 pop-3 /usr/sbin/qmail-popup
ns1.linuxsilo.net.linuxsilo.net /usr/sbin/vchkpw /usr/sbin/q [..]
So, it is listening at ns1.linuxsilo.net.linuxsilo.net, while it should be
listening to ns1.linuxsilo.net. I have checked the script under init.d and
the line that launches the program states like this:
sh -c start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --user root \
--exec /usr/bin/tcpserver -- \
-H -R 0 ${SERVERTYPE} /usr/sbin/qmail-popup
`hostname`.`dnsdomainname` \
$DAEMON /usr/sbin/qmail-pop3d Maildir
So, it tries to concatenate hostname and dnsdomainname, which obviously
returns that bad string ns1.linuxsilo.net.linuxsilo.net.
I would like to run my vpopmail server on pop3.linuxsilo.net, which is the
same machine as ns1.linuxsilo.net. So, what should I change? Something in my
machine? Maybe I should directly modify that line of the script and put a
pop3.linuxsilo.net there?
Thanks in advance.

Instructions for upgrading from 4.9.10 to 5.0.0
Hi Everyone; Thought I'd throw together some instructions for upgrading a site using mysql auth from 4.9.10 to 5.0.0 with clear text password support. I've used these instructions a couple times now, but they are strictly Works For Me-ware (TM) I hope others find these instructions of use as well. BEFORE installing vpopmail 5: Login to mysql use vpopmail; ALTER TABLE table_name ADD COLUMN pw_clear_passwd VARCHAR(255); - table_name is either vpopmail (for small mysql setup) or it's the name of the domain as shown via the show table; command Compile vpopmail 5.0: - Ensure you compile with the --enable-learn-passwords=y and --enable-clear-passwd=y - do your make - backup ~vpopmail/bin to ~vpopmail/bin.old (just incase) After the compile is done, test authentication to make sure you can still login. If that works then: Login to mysql again and run: UPDATE table_name SET pw_passwd=, pw_clear_passwd=; - table_name is either vpopmail (for small mysql setup) or it's the name of the domain as shown via the show table; command And now authenticate again and verify that it has now learned your password. You should see a value in both the pw_passwd and pw_clear_passwd. I hope this helps.

Re: [Smtpauth] Stupid Question
I'm not positive on this, but it's probably because you're running a binary of qmail-smtpd that belongs in one directory in another. My qmail w/ SMTP-AUTH patch was installed in /var/qmail. Therefore I use /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd. Try keeping it in a separate directory and using the new version. - Original Message - From: Kit Halsted [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 3:43 PM Subject: [Smtpauth] Stupid Question Hey, maybe I can compound my error by sending this to the wrong list...

Re: Qmail-scanner install
Cut the diff output to a file and patch it in. Say you put it in /src/qmailqueue.patch and your qmail is in /src/qmail-1.03 do cd /src/qmail-1.03 patch ../qmailqueue.patch Hope that helps.
