On Mon, 14 Feb 2005, Paul Theodoropoulos wrote: is there any way to run chkusr on these 'gateway' MX servers? i use MySQL authentication. The mysql server is the pop server, and i replicate that on the primary MX (where the majority of mail comes in). is there any way to 'hook' into the authentication info in the replicated database directly? that woudl be ideal, as it should be quite fast. but reading the docs, it appears i have to install vpopmail on the server that's going to run chkusr, and i don't much like the idea of that. i'm a tad worried that i might suddenly find all incoming messages being delivered to 'local' and going to the bit-bucket if i turn on chkusr. but that's just wild speculation at this point - i haven't yet installed chkusr, pending some insight on the matters above. We are running vpopmail (with chkusr) on a backup MX with a replicated MySQL database. This setup works well. We do a daily rsync of .qmail files (not the maildirs, just the structure). Qmail on that server is configured to relay to our primary MX but not before chkusr gets to do its thing on incoming mail - this is stopped a lot of spam coming through our backup MX. --

But if the user try again to connect to server after this error message, the server response fine... this error happen just one time...and I don't really know what happenIn my file of mysql configuration I have the follows parameters: Some versions of Outlook try to receive BEFORE sending mail - so if your mail server implements POP-before-SMTP it fails the first time and then works the second time. Other possibilities: We've found that emails with corrupted headers (most often Date:, which is often the case with spam) can cause Outlook to fail to download. The only way to download the rest of the email is to delete the corrupted message (via WebMail). I have written a maildrop rule that inserts a Date: header if it is missing. Some software firewalls also cause this error message from time-to-time. Ive had one customer have this happen with ZoneAlarm. Often its easy to remove Outlook from the firewall list of allowed apps and add it again when your firewall prompts you. Of course, there could be server-side issues like MySQL not having enough connections but I would rule out the other possibilities first. -- Aj. ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Systems Administrator / Developer

I have two mail-relay servers where i have running pop3/imp,smtp and i want on relayserver users authenticate himself through centralized mysql database. But how ? mean how pop3/imap will communicate with remote database server for authentication. Use Matt Simerson's tcpserver patch. This patch enables tcpserver to use a relays table in MySQL. You can implement a POP-before-SMTP scheme where vpopmail puts an entry in the relays table and tcpserver can read the table for allowing those users to relay. -- Aj.

Re: [vchkpw] vpasswd.cdb
Nils wrote: I'm migrating a customers qmail, vpopmail, etc from BSD to a machine running RedHat 7.3. I've got qmail and vpopmail running (as far as I can tell), but when trying to use sqwebmail, it uses authdaemond.plain to authenticate via /home/vpopmail/users/vpasswd.cdb So with vadduser I can add a user to a domain, which is good, but only adds their username/password to /home/vpopmail/domains/_DOMAIN_/vpasswd and vpasswd.cdb. But with authdaemond.plain using /home/vpopmail/users/vpasswd.cdb, it doesn't see the changes made because they aren't written to this file. I seriously must be missing a big chunk of the picture because I can not figure out how to make this work. Anyone, with any help would be greatly appreciated. Have your IMAP/POP3 server (courier?) use vchkpw authentication. Some people have problems using authdaemond so its often better to rebuild courier to use vchkpw directly instead of authdaemond.
