Re: [vchkpw] Two qmails in same machine
OK then so I could have a box in wich I do... take qmail sources and patch them with johns (great and nice) patch... make setup check and ./config-fast fqdn after this after this change /var/qmail for /var/qmail-scanning-server in conf-local... and again ./config-fast fqdn after this setup proper supervise scripts and I could share between two qmails vpopmail (and his ddbb), tcp.smtp.cdb file and all and only have to be careful that when I add a domain with vpopmail or anything else to rsync files modified by vpopmail in users for Internet qmail... and in internet qmail to have smtproutes file throwing all mail passed rcpt to check (that will be of course on Internet server) to localhost listening qmail server that scans mail... then this is all? am I wrong? and that's it??¿ there's no any known reason because this could crash... I mean there's no specification by John Simpson or Dan Bernstein that this shouldn't done then? Thanks a lot thruthly P.D. If this works great I'll share with you it, make some howto, or scripts for syncing qmail control directories or... :) So I have think that I could compile qmail one time and copy to two different locations for example /var/qmail and /var/qmail-scanning-server... is this possible? and is this possible without having two different vpopmails? two different databases for smtp auth... (Internet qmail scanner will be relay too) two differents tcp rules file... so could I share everything between them? What do you think about this idea have just had? You cannot compile qmail one time and install in two locations. You need to change conf-qmail for the second installation. After make setup check of the first install, do 'echo /var/qmail-scanning-server conf-qmail; make setup check' Nor do you need two different vpopmails. They can share the same databases...the problem really is keeping the configuration files in sync or just symlink /var/qmail-scanning-server/users/assign to /var/qmail/users/assign and other files that vpopmail touches. !DSPAM:473428ac32007128935933!
Re: [vchkpw] Proper server backup
Thanks a lot John... you're work in qmail is excellent truthly... congratulations mate truthly...

I suppose I should overwrite /home/vpopmail and /var/qmail fully with my backed up version? no. the web page explains exactly what needs to be backed up and restored. the backup scripts i run on my own server and my clients' servers use this list, and i've actually done several recoveries (from dead hard drives and dead servers) where nothing was lost except new mail which arrived after the most recent backup. but this couldn't cause later problems with courier-imap compiled binaries? because they're compiled with just have installed vpopmail libraries and not with backed ones? when courier-imap (or more specifically, courier-authlib) is compiled, it is STATICALLY linked with libvpopmail.a. this means that the libvpopmail.a file needs to be in place while courier-authlib is being compiled, but it doesn't need to be there (or it doesn't need to be the exact same version) when it's running. one of the design goals of vpopmail 6 is to have a dynamic library. when this happens, and if courier-authlib is changed so it uses the dynamic library, the libvpopmail.so file will need to be in place for courier-authlib's authdaemond process to run. however, minor updates to the libvpopmail.so file (re-compiles, minor upgrades to fix bugs, etc... things which don't change the API) will still allow authdaemond (and other programs which dynamically link against the library) to work correctly. the whole point of dynamic libraries is that the functions in the library are found by name at run-time, rather than having an explicit address or function number be hard-coded into the executable. -- | John M.

The value in conf-qmail gets compiled in, so you need to do a make clean; make setup check again after changing it.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail 5.4.25 and Spamassassin
Hi, I just upgraded from VPopmail 5.5.1 to 5.4.25. 5.5.1 was part of the original OpenEFilter package Inter 7 provide which was working fine in terms of calling spamc but had a bug in vchkpw. Now that bug has been fixed but its not calling spamc even though I have compiled it with -enable-spamassassin, I even tried specifying the path to spamc which is in /usr/bin/ Any ideas as to why its now not calling spamc ?

[vchkpw] smtp after pop
Hi, I have vpopmail running with smtp-after-pop functionality (--enable-roaming-users). the pop-daemon is from qmail. this works fine for normal (unsecure) connection via port 110. but this doesn't work if connecting via strunnel on port 995. I know, thats correct, because stunnel is connecting to qmail's pop3 daemon from ip 127.0.0.1. Is there any setup known, that results in writing users ip-address to open-smtp file so that smtp-after-pop work's even if connected via stunnel ? best wishes christoph !DSPAM:4734b62832001556753283!
[vchkpw] Possible Quota Bug
I've recently noticed strange behavior with user quotas after an upgrade to vpopmail 5.4.25 from 5.4.18. The upgrade also moved from the cdb backend to the MySQL backend (due to locking issues I was experiencing). When delivering a message, the size of the message is placed twice in maildirsize. When deleting the message, it is removed only once. This causes quota usage to grow over time, disconnected from the actual size of the mailbox. For example, this is the maildirsize for a 100 megabyte mailbox at the initial creation of the quota: 104857600S 356213 62 After that account got a 1.6 megabyte e-mail, this was the same file: 104857600S 356213 62 1725576 1 1725657 1 You will see that there are two entries in the file with slightly different sizes. After deleting the e-mail from the box (POP3 and IMAP both exhibit the same issue), the file read: 104857600S 356213 62 1725576 1 1725657 1 -1725657 -1 Is this a known bug or configuration issue, and if so, is there a fix for it, or a clue someone can smack me with?

[vchkpw] vconvert problem
Hello all; I am trying to move from a qmailrocks server to a newer qmailtoaster-iso server but I am having problems moving the domains over to the qmailtoaster machine. I have the two machines running, qmailrocks is the production machine, qmailtoaster is the new machine. I would like to make sure that the conversion will go smoothly so I am doing a dry run of moving the domains over and seeing if they will import. I have used rsync to copy the /home/vpopmail/domains directory over to the qmailtoaster. Once this is complete the owner of the domain directories and files is the user ID number and group ID number from the original qmailrocks machine. Then I change the ownership of this directory tree to vpopmail:vchkpw. I then have run vconvert -c -m to convert all of the domains, but it explicitly says it fails. Then I have copied the /var/qmail/control/cdb and assign files over to the qmailtoaster machine and run the same vconvert -c -m command and it explicitly says the the domains converted successfully. This I am very happy about. Now, however I am not able to log into any of the accounts that have converted. Not even the postmaster account. I have noticed that if I use an incorrect password with a valid account I get an incorrect username or password error. If I use a valid password I get dropped from a Squirrelmail login or a pop3 telnet session. When I look at the imap4 log I see a permission denied error. I have been wrestling with this for weeks now and the boss is getting impatient. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ray Webster !DSPAM:4734be0d32001037962888!
