[vchkpw] LDAP-Patch
Hi, this is another attempt to make the LDAP code a little more robust. Included is a patch against vpopmail-5.3.8 which fixes the following things: - vauth_getpw now returns a struct vqpasswd * ( as defined ) - changed handling of vpw to be a pointer to struct vqpasswd - check if vauth_getpw in vpopmail.c return a value != NULL ( e.g. when you call vsetuserquota and user doesnot exits ) With this patch applied you will be able to use quotas stored in LDAP. Note, this is not an incremental patch from my last post a few days ago. It should apply cleanly against vpopmail-5.3.8.

[vchkpw] backup old mails
Hi, I have a question regarding backuping old mails for all domain users. My mail system is qmail + vpopmail. The logic is as follows: (what I would like to have) 1) automatically move and backup old mails, e.g. either when their timestamp are older than certain pre-defined date, or have reached their quotas and have to be removed but copied to somewhere (backup purpose); 2) backuped mails can be restored under the requests by the administrators, manually or automatically. Is there existing program/script that can do this type of job? or I just simply use cp? Thanks. Yu --
[vchkpw] valias and maildrop question
I am trying to add a line into the valias table which calls maildrop. When I add a user with underscores(_) in their name to the table, the maildrop script is not run. If I add a user with only letters and/or numbers in their username, everything works fine. Any ideas why? Is there a limitation to valias here? By they way, dot qmail files with an underscore and this particular maildrop setup work. When moved to the database it ceases to work. Here is an example: mysql select * from valias; +--+-+-- ---+ | alias| domain | valias_line | +--+-+-- ---+ | teddy_tester | knology.net | | /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop storeSpam.filter | Does not work | teddytester | knology.net | | /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop storeSpam.filter | Works +--+-+-- ---+ 2 rows in set (0.00 sec) John Councilman Knology Systems Engineer
[vchkpw] Multiple default domains(failover)
Hello, I'm in charge of 3 email systems. One is sendmail, one is qmail with system users and one is qmail/vpopmail. I'd like to move everything to the vpopmail system, however with thousands of email accounts on each of the other domains/mail systems, as well as overlapping usernames, it would be too much to ask them to start appending @olddomain1.com and @olddomain2.com. Is there a way to make vpopmail failover to different default domains? For example, if a username/password pair do not work on the first default domain, it will attempt to match on the second domain, failing that it will try the 3rd domain, etc until there are no more default domains, then fail if there is no match on any default domains.. I don't know if vpopmail has this functionality built in, or if anyone has ever done this(I've seen no mention of this searching archives; maybe I've been looking in the wrong place or not hard enough). If anyone has any suggestions or information, it would be greatly appreciated :) - Andre Fortin, CCNA Systems Administrator Technician Persona Communications, Northern Division 500 Barrydowne Rd.

Re: [vchkpw] Multiple default domains(failover)
My first thought is to fiddle with the Mysql tables. Copy a users info, so they appear to be part of domain A, but their data is part of domain B. Of course, that creates problems with password changes, and maybe reduce potential addresses for domain A. chad@domainB would have a password in domainA, so you couldn't have a chad@domainA user. Better, you could run multiple vpopmails. I assume that each domain's user is sending receiving mail to/from mail.theirdomain.com 3 boxes, NFS mount the home directories, and a single Mysql table. You get a little load balancing that way too, especially if you're running qmail-scanner and an AV. Or maybe you could do it with IP aliases, instead of 3 boxes? IMHO, Matt Simerson is a good source for 'large install' info.

Probably the best thing to do would be use IP aliased domains.

RE: [vchkpw] Blackhole?
Thanks for the reply Clayton. Out of sheer stubbornness and frustration, I kept poking away at it, and I finally figured out the magical incantations to make Blackhole work with Vpopmail. It's actually pretty darned simple, but took an awful lot of poking and digging to figure it out! I've posted a 'cookbook' (after a fashion) to the discussion forum that's reachable from the Blackhole pages (again, the site is http://www.groovy.org ). I do recommend Blackhole - while the config file structure is kind of a mess, there are a ton of options making it very fine-grained, and of course, it's written in C, making it pretty efficient on resources.

I originally decided not to go with SA because it's written in perl, but it can be run as a daemon and there's a client written in C that actually is pretty quick. I gave up on blackhole though..

We run a control panel written (in-house) in php which used to take care of adding / deleting users before we had moved to vpopmail. The new mail server however works in a jailed freebsd environment and does not offer direct access to commands, and in our limited environment, we don't want to offer qmailadmin to our clients. I decided a good way to link our control panel to the new mail server using php's internal vpopmail functions would be via an xml gateway. One sends authenticated internal posts (via ssl) to the this gateway -- the gateway is running as vpopmail and carries out the requests. The response is sent back to our control panel as an xml document. This solves many issues and offers great flexibility. I finished implementing the code yesterday and it's all working well. Enough with the background, on with the problem. The valias function is not support by php as the functionality is left out of vpopmail itself (please correct me if I am wrong), and I the way around this, as far as I can figure out, is writing a .qmail-user file in the domains/domainname.com directory with the | vdelivermail line for the new email address. As the (xml) server is running as vpopmail, this is hardly a problem to do -- however, I was curious if this would be the most sound method. What do you guys think? Am I overlooking something very obvious or is writing a file manually a good solution? I appreciate your comments.

[vchkpw] Problems with forwarding from .qmail using maildrop
Hello All,
I have:
vpopmail-5.2.1
qmail-1.03
maildrop-1.4.0
qmailadmin-1.0.6
among other things running on RH 7.3
I have the .qmail-default file for each of my virtual domains read like this:
| preline maildrop /home/vpopmail/mailfilter
where mailfilter reads:
# line below only wrapped in mail message...
VPOP=| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
/home/vpopmail/domains/$HOST/postmaster
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $EXT@$HOST`
if ( $SIZE 262144 )
{
exception {
xfilter /usr/bin/spamc -f -u $EXT@$HOST
}
}
if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/)
{
exception {
to /home/vpopmail/domains/spam/postmaster/Maildir/
}
}
else
{
exception {
to $VPOP
}
}
And this works fine, except for forwarding from a users .qmail file.
..qmail-whatever files in the domain directory work fine, but $USER/.qmail
doesn't work with the:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
format.
|forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] works, but qmailadmin doesn't use that format.
When I disable my maildrop in the .qmail-default and just call vpopdeliver
the [EMAIL PROTECTED] format in $USER/.qmail works.
What have I broken with my mailfilter?
I want all my virtual domains to have postmaster as their catchall and I
want all mail tagged as spam to end up in a common location. But I need
the forwarding functionality to work via qmailadmin...
All suggestions greatly appreciated.

[vchkpw] maildrop and vpopmail
Hi, I dont know if this is related with this list but... Today I have noticed that /var/spool/mail/vpopmail file has reached 12MB and modified recently. But qmail does not deliver mail to mbox in my server. All of my accounts are vpopmail accounts. When I look at that file and send some test mails I saw that : * if mail is send to domains which use maildrop * and if that e-mail does not exists a copy of that mail is written to /var/spool/mail/vpopmail. But this problem (or acction) does not occur if a mail is send to domain which use vdelivermail. do you have any experience? thanks for advance... Ertan Yusufoglu
