[vchkpw] Guidence needed for a vpopmail migration issue.
I am having some issues with a qmail+vpopmail setup that I moving to another server. Most of the accounts are working fine, however some of them give this error when an email is sent to them: Auto re-creation of maildir failed. vpopmail (#5.9.9) So I was hoping someone here could point me to howto, man page, irc channel or something to help me figure this out. The server that the data was migrated too works just fine on its own, and most of the accounts work just fine, but the accounts that give the above error also do not allow any logins at all. I have tried changing passwords and such but this has not helped.

Re: [vchkpw] roaming user for imap
I had the same problem, as a lots of people has according to this list..
the solution, or let's say workaround, i came up with is pretty ugly.
but hey! it works.
First, i got the relay-ctrl package from www.qmail.org somewhere,
installed it by reading the docs shipped with it. made the needed
changes to the imap.rc/imap-ssl.rc (see docs)
What is needed to be modified is the qmails rcscript, making the
tcpserver to use the envdir binary (from the daemontools package, if you
dont use daemontols, download and compile it, and snip the binary from
the compiled sorce tree and put it in some reasonable path).
made the changes to your qmail start script (see the docs).
restart qmail and courier. now you will have a relay that allows roaming
users to realy unitil whatever you set the RELAY_CTRL_EXPIRY variable
to, defaults is 900 seconds i think.
next, the tricky part... i made up a simple shells script looking like
this. I guess it could be possible to add the ipaddresses the script get
into a sql or cdb batabase. anyways, this does the job.

authdaemon does NOT pass the IP to vpopmail. That's why you can't use
it if you want roaming IMAP users.

[vchkpw] move old mail to new dir layout
does anyone have or know of a way to cp -R user/Maildir/* to new/location/user/Maildir/ Is this possible without have to do it manually? We had a email system up forever using qmail+vpopmail etc. But the old system used vpasswd files and such. I made a new system using MySql and spamassassin ... But I had to add accounts before transferring it over. ALSO I couldn't just tar the domain's dir because people are always getting emails and tar would complain saying that a file was being writen to bleh bleh bleh.

[vchkpw] Restore accounts
Hi to all, I know it's a discussed subjects but I can't find any answer. I need to change the hardware of my qmail/vpopmail server (multidomain). I setted a new brand one checked and running, but I have to move all the account and domains. I backed up all of my /home/vpopmail/domains directory from the old one and put it in the new one. All the domains and accounts are created but the passwords are not recognize and every accounts fail trying to login to check the email. When I send an email to the account... does not arrive in the Maildir/new/ mailbox What I need to do ??? Thanks !! Stefano
Re: [vchkpw] move old mail to new dir layout
Code here
snip
#!/usr/bin/perl
while() {
chomp;
@f = split /\:/;
open(VPOP, /home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d $f[0]\@bluetruck.net |) || die
cannot execute vuserinfo ($!)\n;
$werd = VPOP;
chop($werd);
if ((-d $f[5]) (-d $werd)) {
`cp -R $f[5]/Maildir/* $werd/Maildir`;
print $f[5] $werd\n;
}
else {
if (!-d $f[5]) { print dir does not exist in old email server
f[5]\n; }
if (!-d $werd) { print file does not exist in new email server
$werd\n; }
}
}
snip
First needed to sed old vpasswd file...
I tar'ed it up and put it here so I have to add correct path to the old
vpasswd...
sed -e s/\/home\//\/home\/oldemail\//g vpasswd vpasswd.new
mkdir /home/oldemail
on old email system..
tar -cf - /home/vpopmail/domains/muhdomain.com | ssh -l root
newmailserver.domain.com cat /home/oldemail/domain.tar
this will tar and transfer the old email to the new server
new server
cd /home/oldemail
tar -xvf domain.tar
which creates home/vpopmail/domains/muhdomain.com
now it looks like
/home/oldemail/home/vpopmail/domains/muhdomain.com
then I used the perl script above..
Thought I would send this to group just in case someone else needed to do
this

[vchkpw] tcpserver won't die when started with the -D flag
Hello all, I have a strange problem with tcpserver and the pop3 daemon. The short story: When I start the pop3 daemon through tcpserver with the -D flag the daemon refuses to die when I run svc -d /service/qmail-pop3d. Without the -D, the pop3 server is extremely slow and is serving only 3-4 messages per second. The long story: tcpserver refuses to die using svc -d /service/qmail-pop3d when the startup script looks like this: #!/bin/sh tcpserver -H -R -D -lmail.yourplana.com 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.yourplana.com \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 If I try to start the pop3 daemon again with svc -u /service/qmail-pop3d I get the well known tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used error message. To kill the tcpserver I have to run 'lsof | grep tcpserver' and then kill the pid of the tcpserver -OR- just 'killall tcpserver'. Then I can start the pop3 daemon through tcpserver again. When I'm using this startup script I' having no start/stop problems, but the pop3 daemon is terribly slow and hands out only 3-4 messages to the client per second: #!/bin/sh tcpserver -H -R -lmail.yourplana.com 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.yourplana.com \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 Please note that the only thing changed here is the tcpserver startup flags. The first startup script has the extra -D and won't die, the second one is without the -D flag and is terribly slow but dies nicely. All the -D flag does is telling the tcpserver not to delay sending data, so I can't imagine why it becomes a problem when stopping the tcpserver. Any ideas? Thanks, -- Erik

When I'm using this startup script I' having no start/stop problems, but the pop3 daemon is terribly slow and hands out only 3-4 messages to the client per second: #!/bin/sh tcpserver -H -R -lmail.yourplana.com 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.yourplana.com \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 Please note that the only thing changed here is the tcpserver startup flags. The first startup script has the extra -D and won't die, the second one is without the -D flag and is terribly slow but dies nicely. All the -D flag does is telling the tcpserver not to delay sending data, so I can't imagine why it becomes a problem when stopping the tcpserver. Any ideas?

[vchkpw] open-smtp and tcp.smtp
Hello Everyone, I have a few questions, and I hope we can find some answers. I installed vpopmail 5.2.1 --enable-roaming-users=y, and qmail 1.03. They seem to be running great. I can log in, retrieve mail. But when I send mail, I can't. It replies that I am not able to relay. So, I edited my qmailctl file (I installed qmail acording to LWQ Instructions) and this is what it says: tcprules /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.tmp /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp chmod 644 /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb echo Reloaded /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp. If I add my dynamic IP to the tcp.smtp then it allows to me send mail through my server. I have verified that my IP is getting written into the open-smtp file every time i log in via pop3 to the new IP / time stamp. So, from what I can tell my open-smtp and tcp.smtp are not being joined together. Anyone have any ideas that could help me? Thanks in Advance! Nate Davis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
