[vchkpw] Re: synchronize control files
Tim Hasson writes: I am developing a web based interface on it using php/mysql [...] My worst fear is of a exploit like the recent SSL v2 vulnerability where an unautheticated user, or an anonymous user, could just simply exploit the apache process, and use it as a step stone.

[vchkpw] Bugs solved for chkuser and TMDA
Thanks to some warnings I received (thanks Vince), I've modified and
tested the patch over patch made for making chkuser work
together with TMDA, and made a final version that looks exempt from bugs
(!).
Note: The original chkuser has no problems. Problems have been found on
the extension made for TMDA.
Final code that seems to work without problems, as it has been tested,
is:
user_passwd = vauth_getpw (user.s, domain.s);
+
if (user_passwd == NULL) {
+
count = 0;
+
while ((count (user.len -1)) (user_passwd == NULL))
{
+
count += byte_chr(user.s[count], user.len - count,'-');
+
if (count user.len) {
+
if (!stralloc_copyb (alias_name, user.s, count)) die_nomem();
+
if (!stralloc_0 (alias_name)) die_nomem();
+
user_passwd = vauth_getpw (alias_name.s, domain.s);
+
++count;
+
}
+
}
+
}
if (user_passwd != NULL) {
Please, who has used the previous version of this patch over
patch, should update to this version of code.
Let me know of any problems, if possible.
Ciao,
Tonino

(quite a simple one when you look at it properly) The initial problem was qmailadmin gave me the error could not open and that was it I rebuilt qmailadmin - I rebuilt vpopmail nothing seemed to work. However I tried to add a domain using the command line today as I decided to spend some proper time on this problem. I ran a ./vadddomain test.com typed in the password 2 times and got back Error: Could not open qmail default a quick search of bluedot.net revieled that qmail default is .qmail-default in the domain dir of the domain creating. so the problems is a simple permissions problem. Now comes to the confusing bit. All the domains bar inter7.com and hugo.com where created from the first vpopmail install [EMAIL PROTECTED] /home/vpopmail/domains]# ls -la total 44 drwx-- 10 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Sep 21 15:13 . drwxr-xr-x9 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Sep 10 20:21 .. -rw-r--r--1 vpopmail vchkpw 34 Sep 9 10:12 .dir-control drwxr-x---3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Apr 23 13:24 aspectevents.co.uk drwx--4 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Jul 17 14:15 hacktek.co.uk drwx--2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Sep 21 15:06 hugo.com drwx--2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Sep 21 15:13 inter7.com drwxr-x---4 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Sep 10 20:08 mdlan.co.uk drwxr-x---4 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 May 29 17:08 parsonsmotorsport.co.uk drwxr-x---6 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Apr 30 15:38 projecthugo.co.uk drwxr-x---4 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 Apr 25 15:15 sfproject.co.uk As you can see the X permissions is missing from the group permissions on the 2 test domains created. So vpopmail is actually creating the domains with the right user/group vpopmail:vchkpw (so the ./configure options appear to have worked) yet it appears to have just forgot about the group permissions ??? The group permissions at not a build time option ?? so why when I have rebuilt the same version of vpopmail with the same configure options does it simpley forget to apply group permissions. vadddomain creates the dir with the wrong group permissions so it can't create the .qmail-default domain inside. Any suggestions as to why vpopmail is doing this ? (Thanks for the input on the qmailadmin list also some good advice - the fact that I didn't get anywhere made me get my head down today) thanks, Matt. An interesting note is a.) vpopmail ./vadddomain causes the error b.) qmailadmin complains of an error cannot open dir c.) vqadmin does NOT complain of any error. It creates a dir with the SAME permissions as the other none working domains (as though the group permissions had been forgot) but it manages to create the .qmail-defaults file. This is very interesting as I understand it vqadmin simpley uses vadddomain - and if the permissions are correct with drwx-- and not drwxr-x why can vadddomain not create the .qmail-defaults file when it creates a domain. Thanks Matt. Hi again, Any further update / info / suggestions / requests on this topic ? The only advice I have had so far is a request for the output of ls -la /home/vpopmail/domains which is in this post. I am now getting very lost. Thanks, Matt.

It lists Password, Kerberos Version 4, Kerberized POP (KPOP), Kerberos Version 5 and MD5 Challenge-Response.

Was anyone asked about this? That's me, overreaching my bounds again. Oden Eriksson had built a 2.0.4 release that included the security fix. The inter7.com site still had 2.0.2 up, and I wanted to make some changes to the exit codes so I could safely use it on a recent trip (hiking in the Grand Canyon). I jumped to the conclusion that Inter7 wasn't actively maintaining it and I decided to add it to the qmailadmin project on SourceForge. I also put it in CVS there. I altered it heavily to suit the needs of a vacation responder. While hiking, I had a lot of time to think, and came to many of the conclusions that Jeremy did on the vchkpw list while I was away. That we essentially need two different programs -- one to act as an autoresponder for mail robots, and one to act as a vacation responder for POP/IMAP mailboxes. It could easily be the same program with different command-line options. If Inter7 is maintaining it, I can drop it from the QmailAdmin project. Or, you could set it up on SF as it's own project. Or, we can leave it there. I don't really care. I would like to see someone else spend some time working on it so I can trust it with my email account. Jeremy, I've added you to the QmailAdmin SF project so you can access the CVS repository. If you want, you can start from the original upload (2.0.4) and ignore all of my changes, and submit your changes to the repository.

[vchkpw] Re: Re: vmysql:_can't_read_settings_from_ ...
What happens when you run `strings ~vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail | grep vpopmail.mysql`? You should get a single line with vpopmail.mysql on it. That's exactly what I get: # strings vdelivermail | grep vpopmail.mysql vpopmail.mysql # vmysql: sql error[1]: Can't create database 'vpopmail'. Database exists Did you work out your problems with the vpopmail.mysql file? Yes. I don't seem to be getting that sql error anymore. BTW, # pwd /usr/home/vpopmail/etc # ls -l vpopmail.mysql -rw-r- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 45 Sep 11 14:16 vpopmail.mysql # cat vpopmail.mysql localhost|0|vpopmailuser|vpoppasswd|vpopmail # Again, I'm not sure where the weird filenames are coming from (/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com,,mydomain.com). What does the .qmail-default file look like for mydomain.com? # pwd /usr/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com # cat .qmail-default | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/frank Noting: I've sed 's/myactualdomain.com/mydomain.com' Thanks Tom for continuing to look into this. I think I migh have something that might help... I deleted my domain (/home/vpopmail/bin/vdeldomains mydomain.com) and recreated it (/home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain mydomain.com pass). It wiped out everything under the /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com directory, including some important emails. But at least no more vmysql:_can't_read_settings_from... error anymore. But emails to non-existent accounts were mail looping endlessly. Trying to stop it, I decided to backup my new important emails this time: # cd /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/frank/Maildir # tar -czf /tmp/myemails.tar.gz cur new And deleted the domain and recreated it with my user again: # /home/vpopmail/bin/vadeldomain mydomain.com # /home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain mydomain.com pass # /home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] pass Then restored my important emails. # cd /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomains.com/frank/Maildir # tar -xzf /tmp/myemails.tar.gz I noted that the queue name format didn't look like every other because I moved queues around. I had moved emails in my system account's Maildir to my vpopmail user account's Maildir: # mv /home/frank/Maildir/new/* /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/frank/Maildir/new/* I looked at the emails (which moved everything in new to cur).

Re: [vchkpw] Spamassassin + qmail + vpopmail + procmail + courier-imapd + squirrelmail + qmail-scanner + clamav
Hello, Yes, there is no clear documentation for this setup. After piecing together many snippets, it is now working very well for me. Like someone else mentioned, I would suggest using qmail-scanner. This way, all mail is scanned and tagged with the X-Spam-Status header before final delivery. Qmail-scanner can be used to run clamav (this is what I do), maybe with less cpu usage (if you are running it as a file access-run daemon). Qmail-Scanner needs the qmail-queue patch for qmail, to allow an alternate program (ie qmail-scanner) to run instead of qmail-queue. See this to imagine the qmailqueue patch: http://www.nrg4u.com/qmail/the-big-qmail-picture-103-p1.gif (this helped me a lot. I am not sure where the original location for this was, somewhere related to the qmail sites, oh well) But, as you say you have clamav running, then you may be fine with using the .qmail files to scan and filter the messages, ie without qmail-scanner. You are using procmail, but I imagine something very similar to the following setup could be created (as this guide uses maildrop for message filtering) http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg13511.html Where is says [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the above document, use [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also, I had to change a few things to fet this to work for me, like the locations of the binaries, and the X-Spam-Status header name, etc. This way the current virtual user enviroment variables are used to get proper Maildir delivery information. Hope this helps. Also, if you consider the qmail-scanner route, I found this to be very helpful: (though I would not use their spamassassin configuration beyond installation, as it is out of date) http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htm#SPAM_VIRUS Do note that I would use tcp.smtp to control who (in relation to ip adressing) gets their smtp traffic scanned, where in the above document, they enable scanning of all mail (by nature of how they set the QMAILQUEUE environment variable) when you might want only inbound mail scanned (to save resources). The tcp.smtp setup example is in the qmail-scanner documentation. I am happy to help further, as I am interested in writing this procedure up, as a HOWTO based on the various documents mentioned. I also had a long list of questions that I ultimately answered. So keep on this thread if you have more questions, so I can disect it later.

[vchkpw] vpopmail and local users - user_over_quota message
Hi, I have a single IP system hosting 8 domains. 1/2 my users are real /etc/passwd users with home directories I'd like to store their e-mail in ~/Maildir and then there are a bunch of other forward-only people and some virtual (non /etc/passwd) users I want vpopmail to handle and store their email. Is there a simple how-to guide on the web explaining how to set this up. The vpopmail doc only seems to talk specifically about the virtual side and I'm not seeing how to make it work with qmail and do what I want to do (non-virt virt). I used www.qmail.ru lazydog setup with a number of patches (maildir++) and all-in-one feature set. I get the following in my maillog when I try sending to a local user. Sep 20 23:35:26 host1 qmail: 1064115326.821226 delivery 274: failure: User_over_quota._(#5.1.1)/ This is a brand new RH9 system with NO mail on it at all. There's no way the user is over quota. I'm thinking that vpopmail is somehow intercepting the local mail now, but I'm not exactly sure how (or why) that's happening. What's the best way to set up a combo local and vpopmail system? Can anyone be of assistance? dave
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail and local users - user_over_quota message
Hi, I'm the author of www.qmail.nu, I guess that is what you meant, not .ru. For now my lazydog script have no setup for local deliver(it will come in a not so distant future). but I guess for now you can follow the qmail-1.03 documentation to make it do local delivery, I guess it won't be all to hard hence everything is installed and all the daemoons are running. Also there are lots of HOWTO's like http://www.lwq.org http://www.shupp.org/ http://www.jerfu.com/toaster/FullToaster_1.0.6.html And if you just search for qmail HOWTO on google I'm almost shure you'll get a lot of HOWTOs - Original Message - From: David McMahon [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 5:35 AM Subject: [vchkpw] vpopmail and local users - user_over_quota message Hi, I have a single IP system hosting 8 domains. 1/2 my users are real /etc/passwd users with home directories I'd like to store their e-mail in ~/Maildir and then there are a bunch of other forward-only people and some virtual (non /etc/passwd) users I want vpopmail to handle and store their email.
