Or maybe it simply needs '-RH' and no '-p' (as '-r' and '-h' are default) to not time out? Maybe you don't even use 'tcpserver' to start the POP3-daemon, but 'inetd'? Make sure 'hosts.allow' allows, or at least 'hosts.deny' does not deny the connection(s). Hint: use 'netstat -anp |grep :110' to figure out which listener is used to start you POP3-daemon.

[vchkpw] HUGE pop3 bottleneck
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I have just located a large source of problems with our installation. We average about 500 POP3 logins per minute and we had roaming users enabled. It seems that writing to the /usr/local/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp file was a large bottleneck since so many logins were attempting to write to the same file. Users would get file busy errors while successful logins, when they happened, would take upwards of a minute. Failures would happen instantly, since the file was not written to. Has anyone found an alternate solution to this? I now use authenticated SMTP only for this installation. Perhaps a directory of entries instead of a file, or some kind of file-based DB? Any ideas?

We average about 500 POP3 logins per minute and we had roaming users enabled. It seems that writing to the /usr/local/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp file was a large bottleneck since so many logins were attempting to write to the same file. Users would get file busy errors while successful logins, when they happened, would take upwards of a minute. Failures would happen instantly, since the file was not written to. Has anyone found an alternate solution to this? I now use authenticated SMTP only for this installation. Perhaps a directory of entries instead of a file, or some kind of file-based DB? Any ideas? We'd like to keep this feature, but with so many users, this seems to be the only system bottleneck on this system (about 13,000 domains). - -- [!] Justin R.

RE: [vchkpw] qmail-inject Error
I agree on both points. I feel that these mailing lists should be for the odd problems that can't be solved by doing a simple search on google, or reading through the archives. But not everyone takes things that far. As for the rest of it.. It bothers me when I see so much ignorance out there about these things, or lack of drive to learn. But the fact that somebody posts to the list shows that they have some drive to figure these things out. I would reccomend to anybody that posts on the list to first search for your error on your favorite search engine and check the vpopmail archives BEFORE posting to the list. Chances are, somebody else already had your problem and learned how to fix it. Those of us that have been on this list for a while get sick of hearing the same cries over and over for the same things that have been answered probably hundreds of times. When I was a novice at this stuff, I worked at a relativley large ISP. Everyone in my department feared going into the engineer room because we knew they'd chew our heads off and call us an idiot after solving our problem. I think it's great that people feel comfortable enough to post to this list without the fear of being flamed. You've gotta learn somehow, and I'll agree that it's usually much easier to learn interactivley from a person than reading a book. But please, I urge everyone who ever posts to any type of list to research your questions before posting. Usually you can find your answers quicker than you could waiting around for an email. And if you write the list, don't tell us how urgent you problem is and how we HAVE to fix it for you.

Asking questions is the first step towards learning. I disagree. It is incumbent upon the person asking for help on a free mailing list to actually show that they've gone to some length to find an answer on their own. Not making an effort before asking for help abuses both the time and bandwidth of those who do make an effort as well as those who offer support. To boot, there are a number of applications, especially internet connected, that if a person cannot show the slightest inclination to help themselves, they should not be running in the first place. Yes, it is frustrating when the same questions get asked over and over by different people. I've lost count of the times on the sqwebmail list that someone has asked a short or long question about something, and Mister Sam replies simply See INSTALL. Possibly because if they had read the INSTALL before installing as they were supposed to do, the answer would have been obvious. Since you bring up the Sqwebmail list, of which I'm also a member, how many times have you seen in the last month alone people asking about the Invalid User ID or Password issue that relates to having vpopmail installed? It gets asked over and over because people refuse to do some research beforehand. Spoonfeeding people is not helping the situation.

RE: [vchkpw] new php module
Hi.. since I'm writing a new vpopmail extension for php without the bugs with valiases and aliasdomains, I'm looking for people to test it, before posting it to the php guys. Anyone interested ? This version will be compatible to the existing one, so no changes in your php code are required. Bring it on ;-) I'll see if I get some time to test it out. --- Regards, Stig Martin Fiskaa
