[vchkpw] Question about the vpasswd command
Is there a switch I could give vpasswd where I could do a massive amount of password changes without regenerating the cdb each time? Kind of like the -s (or -S, I've forgotten) switch in vadduser. If not, how would I hack at vpasswd.c to make this happen? I know enough C where if someone shows me a patch or tells me what to change I can do it. :) Thanks in advance. Chris Kalin
[vchkpw] pop username format
For backwards compatibility with my current qmail server I will need to allow users with a 'username.domain.com' format in addition to the standard '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' format for POP3 authenticating. Can someone point me in the right direction to tweak vpopmail to allow this format. Thanks, Joe Kletch CedarNet LLC
[vchkpw] Relaying
I'm trying to do relaying through a virus scanner with qmail-scanner which is in front of my mail server (qmail). I tried copying, and mountig the open.smtp file from my mail server to my virus scanner and it didn't work (I belive this is because of the different time stamps of both boxes). How can I tell to my virus scanner to allow relay to a client based on my mail server relaying rules? Thanks in advance -Juan K. Baez
[vchkpw] open-smtp-dir
Hi, I had lot of problems with open-smtp lock system. With 4000-5000 ip in open-smtp file, server was very slow. I change it to the same system but working with directory. There is no more problem with lock and servers are very fast. Patch (vpopmail.c) and some docs are on ftp://ftp.ovh.net/made-in-ovh/vpopmail It is very easy (easier than before). Regards Octave
Re: [vchkpw] simplest way to forward mail?
The easiest way to do a database forward is to modify the valias table. If you want to forward mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the valias table insert jdoe in the alias field and nowhere.com in the domain field. Now in the valias_line field insert [EMAIL PROTECTED] This should redirect the email accordingly.

RE: [vchkpw] pop username format
Yes, look at vpopmail.h. #define ATCHARS @%/ Just add a . to that. But beware, it will accept the first . as a separator.

RE: [vchkpw] pop username format
Yes, just the bin directory. No, it wouldn't prevent future use of [EMAIL PROTECTED], those users would simply need to use the username [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of foo.bar.foobar.com.

[vchkpw] Need VPOPBULL to work
Well, am I smokin' crack again or is VPOPBULL broken and just returning to the cmd line without reporting anything like it did in the past?!?!?!?! I can't get it to do anything but report usage. vpopbull -V -n DOMAIN doesn't report users in the domain or errors or anything, it just silently exits. Any words of wisdom? Of course I need it working asap and this is a REAL bummer to find out something's wrong this late in the day/week ... Special! :) Chris Bunnell

Re: [vchkpw] Relaying
My question was intended to know how can I manipulate the open-smtp file, which, if I'm not mistaken, is handled by vpopmail. Basically, I need the virus scanner to do the relaying based on the authentication made on the mail server. I tried to use the open-smtp file, generated on the mail server, on the virus scanner (mounted the /home/vpopmail/etc from the mail server on the virus scanner). If you could point me into any direction (even the rigth mailing list! ;) ...) would help. Thanks for your reply. Juan K. Baez. Marcatel International.

[vchkpw] SMTP-AUTH with vpopmail mysql
Was hoping someone out there might have a quick solution to my problem. Icurrently have a devlopement server running qmail (hoping to soon replaceour sendmail system). I currently have a compbination Qmail + Vpopmailsystem authenticating off MySQL. It's also running courier IMAP/POP3 whichalso authenticates off the MySQL database. All works well. However, I'mhaving problems integrating smtp-auth with this. I have added the smtp-authpatch and when I do a 'ehlo' command it lists auth as a feature, however itdoesn't seem to be working.

Change: QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` to: QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail` NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail` My true is /bin/true, so check that yours realy is /usr/bin/true. Also increase your softlimit. Try add an ekstra 0 (20 000 000 instead of 2 000 000).
