[vchkpw] Unable to access mail using POP and domain issues with vpopmail
Hi All, At last third time seemed to be lucky for me. i was able to install qmail. this time i followed the steps described in this page http://hibrida.interaksi.web.id/man/qmail/step-dnata.html#QMAIL and i literally did a cut and paste of all commands. My qmail-smtpd is working fine, vpopmail, qmailadmin, sqwebmail is also working fine. i am able to send and receive mails. i am facing few issues. this is my setup. My mail server name is mail.ojoobala.com and i want to receive mails for ojoobala.com too. So i added both of them in rcpthosts file and added ojoobala.com in locals file. rcpthosts mail.ojoobala.com ojoobala.com locals ojoobala.com i configured vpopmail as ./vadddomain mail.ojoobala.com So when i send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it goes into directory /home/vpopmail/mail.ojoobala.com/name/current. And when i send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it goes into /home/name/Mailbox. Due to this i am only able to access [EMAIL PROTECTED] via sqwebmail. sqwebmail doesnt even authenticate [EMAIL PROTECTED] it just authenticates [EMAIL PROTECTED] i want to access both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] via sqwebmail. How can do this. Secondly i am unable to access my mails using POP outlook express (Dont scream, pl). when i configure Outlook using [EMAIL PROTECTED] the error message that i am getting is '$home/Mailbox' doesnt exist. But when i try with [EMAIL PROTECTED] it fails in authentication. my pop3 run script is exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ mail.oojoobala.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 How can i acess my both accounts [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] using POP. thanks a lot, -Balaji __ Do you Yahoo!?

RE: [vchkpw] Unable to access mail using POP and domain issues with vpopmail
Hi Balaji, It doesn't look like you have your popd server running as the vpopmail user. Try: #!/bin/sh VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 \ -u$VPOPMAILUID -g$VPOPMAILGID 0 110 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ mail.oojoobala.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 Check that the home dir's have been created with the correct permissions of vpopmail:vchkpw as well. Regarding your other issue, you can use valiasdomain to link the 2 domains together, however, it is more common to setup your domain name as only the domain part. As long as you MX records are correct, the email will send the mail to that system. eg: for Bind ojoobala.com. IN MX 10 mail.ojoobala.com. tells the internet to send any mail for ojoobala.com to the host mail.ojoobala.com. Hope this helps.

Re: [vchkpw] Unable to access mail using POP and domain issues with vpopmail
something else as well, you put ojoobala.com into locals, from my understanding with vpopmail this is a no no dont it bypass vpopmail and try to develier to local users on this???, when using vpopmail leave locals blank. - Original Message - From: Shane Chrisp [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 03, 2003 5:23 AM Subject: RE: [vchkpw] Unable to access mail using POP and domain issues with vpopmail Err, typo, get rid of the extra 0 110.. #!/bin/sh VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 \ -u$VPOPMAILUID -g$VPOPMAILGID 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ mail.oojoobala.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 Shane -Original Message- From: Shane Chrisp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 3 September 2003 1:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [vchkpw] Unable to access mail using POP and domain issues with vpopmail Hi Balaji, It doesn't look like you have your popd server running as the vpopmail user.

[vchkpw] System virtual User Authentication
hi All I post that questoin many Times but did not get any valid reply. Theproblem was that i have running some virtual domains on linux server with qmail.I have some default linux users and many vritual domain users. The virtual domain user successfully authenticated with vchkpw but defualt users failed to authenticate himself through pop and imap. As i have done while installing vpopmail , and enable-passwed=y but did not get any success. So my question is that Can i authenticate both virtual domain and defualt user with pop3 and imap. ? ANy Answer/help Thanks ZafAr
