Re: [vchkpw] Re: LDAP working :(
Hi Jens, Jens Jahr [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: - In my CVS-Tree I thought about dynamically using LDAP-entries, because hardcoding a special row for a special entrie makes it worse to add more new LDAP-entries, because you have a bunge of #ifdefs and you will have to doublecheck the whole code where direct access to an LDAP-entry is made As a result I think it is nice to just address an LDAP-Entrie via pointers. e.g. QMAILDOMAIN = 1; CLEAR_PW = 2; qmailUID = 3; etc which are dynamically setup. So general access to it would be #ifdef CLEAR_PW lm[CLEAR_PW]-mod_values[0] = strdup(password); #endif next would be lm[QMAILDOMAIN]-mod_values[0] = strdup(password); no matter if I ifdefed CLEAR_PW or not. This make code much more easy and readable. Hope you understand my point and tell me what do you think. I think so, too. It was difficult to understand the source, when I made the patch. --- Sunagawa Koji[EMAIL PROTECTED] Okinawa FreeBSD Users Group http://www.ofug.net/~koj/
[vchkpw] Postgres support?
Back in April of last year I'd asked about Postgres support in vpopmail and Bill had mentioned that it was in the development version. Has that been abandoned altogether? I didn't see it in the current stable release, and there's been a few releases between 04/02 and now. :-) Regards, Andrew
RE: [vchkpw] SMTP Problems
Ok.. why would you post open relay as a suggestion? Don't ever put :allow,RELAYCLIENT=. That will make your server open relay, which is BAD. Check the archives, I know there have been discussions before about courier imap authentication and vpopmails romaing users option. Also make sure you compiled vpopmail with --enable-roaming-users. -Clayton -Original Message- From: Jens Jahr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2003 2:47 PM To: Nate Davis Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] SMTP Problems Zitat von Nate Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, well, that domain is not in my allowed rcpthosts means that you are not allowed to relay this host. Please refer to the tcprules where you adjust your settings like that: --- snip 127.0.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= 192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= :allow,REQUIREAUTH= -smap which means that all execpt localhost and 192.168.x.x have to authenticate before sending mail. If you just all let relay your server just add simpple: :allow,RELAYCLIENT= and you are done. Note that this is absolutely not the recommendes way !!! Cheers Jens
[vchkpw] not updating tcp.smtp.cdb??
I'm running 5.2.1 with roaming users enabled, but upon successful POP3 or IMAP4 logins the tcp.smtp.cdb file is not being updated. I've checked file permissions (going as far as to set mode 666 on both tcp.smtp and tcp.smtp.cdb) and verified that the ones I'm looking at are the ones that vpopmail is supposed to know about. My configure line looks like this: ./configure --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-learn-passwords=y --enable-clea r-passwd=y --enable-logging=p --enable-default-domain=gate-way.net --enable-qmail-ext=y --enable-defaultquota=500 --enable-valias=y I have vpopmail's home directory to be /usr/local, which puts tcp.smtp[.cdb] in /usr/local/etc, and all of the utilities in /usr/local/bin. $ ls -l /usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp* -rw-r--r--1 vpopmail vchkpw315 Jan 11 22:53 /usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp -rw-r--r--1 vpopmail vchkpw 2523 Jan 11 22:53 /usr/local/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb I am using courier-imap's POP3 and IMAP4 servers, and authdaemon is set to use vchkpw, as shown here: authmodulelist=authvchkpw Any ideas? tcpserver is using the file just fine, but I just can't get roaming users to work. :-( Regards, Andrew

Hi, Not sure if this is related, but I had a problem with courier and vipmap domains. It appears that courier was passing an IPv6 IP address and not an IPv4 ip address.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail's 'tcp.smtp' question...
Hello, I meant to ask this a while ago, but never got around to it... I have noticed that when Vpopmail is installed, it has it's own 'tcp'smtp' file. If Qmail is installed, does one use Qmail's 'tcp.smtp' file instead, or are both 'tcp.smtp' files used at the same time? Or alternatively, if Vpopmail's has a different function altogether, what would it be? Thank you, in advance, for your help.

Re: [vchkpw] not updating tcp.smtp.cdb??
Not sure if this is related, but I had a problem with courier and vipmap domains. It appears that courier was passing an IPv6 IP address and not an IPv4 ip address. That would seem to indicate that it was still trying to update the tcp.smtp[.cdb] files, but that is not the case here -- the timestamps on these files never change from when I manually run tcprules. I will check the changelogs and see if I can't find a courier option to disable ipv6, just in case. Regards, Andrew

He has not done any work on it and someone else seemed to have taken over the work. What I ended up doing was using qmail-sql available at: http://qmail-sql.digibel.be Then I patched courier-imap for configurable custom SELECT and UPDATE SQL queries for use with IMAP and POP3. I sent the patch back to Sam (author of Courier). Courier IMAP SQL uses its own table schema which is different from qmail-sql. Having customizable SELECT and UPDATE queries allow you to glue the two together. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com

Re: [vchkpw] vacation and aliases
-Oprindelig meddelelse- I have an account with about 2 or 3 aliases. When I enable the vacation-program which comes with vpopmail 5.3.8 and QmailAdmin 1.0.6. The vacation works for the main-address, but not for the aliases. The aliases are also added the normal way. I guess the problem is this: /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/username/Maildir/ I have a thought that if I use vdelivermail or forward, it would work, but I haven't tested this yet, mostly because the style i reffered to is the standard way of creating an alias... but then the vacation-message won't show when people mail to the alias addresses... Has anyone looked into this? I have the exact same problem and I suspect the same to be responsible. I am also curious to know if anyone as a better solution than disallowing aliases and just allow forwards? I had a quite angry customer on the phone complaining about this :) Regards, Jonas Thomsen, JT-COM

If --enable-roaming-users=y during configuration, the vpopmail configure script attempts to auto-discover if there is an /etc/tcp.smtp file already on the system and use that.

[vchkpw] vpopmail 5.3.13
Ken, All: I have posted my vpopmail 5.3.13: Download: http://shupp.org/patches/vpopmail-5.3.13.tar.gz From the ChangeLog: - major changes to vdeloldusers - Works with any module that supports auth-logging (mysql, cdb) - lots of cleanup.. removed all mysql specific code - deprecated -r switch, replaced it with -V (verbose) - users are NOT deleted by default.. a new -D argument is required to actually delete users - brought back the -d option to specify only one domain The changes are only to vdeloldusers, but they were significant enough that I just went ahead and updated the version number. Please help test. I can find no problems on cdb or mysql. Regards, Bill Shupp
[vchkpw] Vpopmail installation
Hello All: I installed Qmail today with Vpopmail. The thing is I use Postfix for my SMTP server and still want to. I have Postfix configured to send mail to Qmail's sendmail program like was shown on the inter7 website. I just use transport maps instead of fallback transport. Either way, the mail comes into Postfix and I see it being sent to qmail, but never gets delivered. I checked the qmail queue directory and I found the mail sitting in the todo/ directory. My question is how do I start up Qmail to just run the queue and not have it try and bind to port 25. I want Postfix to remain bound to port 25 and act as my SMTP server. I just need Qmail to deliver mail to the vpopmail/domains/whatever Maildir's so people can get their mail. Please let me know what I need to startup Qmail do accomplish what I need. Maybe, as soon as I get used to Qmail, I may use it to do all my mail services. I have just been using Postfix for so many years that I do not want to stop using it to accept mail just yet. I love the Virtual Mail though, vpopmail is fantastic.. Thanks for you help in advance.. Frank

Run qmail, but don't start it listening on port 25. Running qmail is related to a .rc file in the /var/qmail directory, or something copied into your startup scripts to run qmail-send. Listening on port 25 is started in inetd, xinetd or tcpserver is run from your startup scripts. It depends on who's instructions you used to set up qmail, and what OS you are on. Please let me know what I need to startup Qmail do accomplish what I need. Maybe, as soon as I get used to Qmail, I may use it to do all my mail services. I bet you would save a lot of time and headaches if you just follow the instructions on one of the qmail + vpopmail + qmailadmin toasters and go for a standard setup. The biggest problem I've seen with qmail, is that it goes so long between problems that you have forgotten everything you once knew about it when you need to work on it. :) Rick Who hasn't had to mess with my mail server in over 302 days.
