vpopmail supports piping mail to autoresponder, autoresponder does the
vacationing. You could write a script that does the sql operations for you.
This is easilydone using a php shell script. You're pretty much on your own
with this one as there are now projects that links horde vacation with
autorepsonder.

 Hey all,

 I'm trying to set up vacation messages, and I'd like to use the horde
 vacation plugin, as we already have all of our users well versed in horde.

 In the docs for vacation, it says that it supports an SQL based vacation
 message, as long as your mail server supports it.

 Does vpopmail supports this? As we already use MySQL for  all of our user
 information, it would be convenient.

 Thanks,
 Andrew.






Re: [vchkpw] vacation messages

2005-07-08 Thread Chris Godwin
Okay I'll try to spell it out for you

When setting a vacation message you've got to set the .qmail file for the
user to pipe the email to a program. Normally it's autoresponder. But what
you're going to have to do is pipe it to a custom script written by you in a
language that can execute sql queries(php, perl, python, et cetera). That
script is going to have to read the vacation message from the sql table and
then email the person back. When I said you're on you own I meant it, I
assumed that also implied that there would be no documentation on it. If you
have qmailadmin, make a test email account and set a vacation message. then
look at the dot qmail file to see how autoresponder works.

 I'm not seeing any really clear cut documentation on how to do this.
 Do I just change the .qmail-default file, and then it just works for
 whomever has an autoresponder entry in the database?

 Thanks,

Re: [vchkpw] vacation messages

2005-07-08 Thread Chris Godwin
That's actually very good. I'd make a cron job to check the db entries. then
every five minutes it would write the dot qmail files based on what the db
says. btw how's horde working out. I was thinking of using it.

More on the script, the script should write indevidual dot qmailfiles for
each user in their home dirs that way compatability with qmailadmin isn't
broken.

 You spell very well ;)

 Do you think it would work if I wrote a program to check if the recipient
 has an autoresponder entry in the DB, and if they do, do an autoresponder
 thing.

 So I'm thinking that the qmail-default could look something like
 |checkforawaymessage
 |vdelivermail etc...

 That way, I'd never have to edit the users .qmail file.

 I cannot name any company name but I used to work for a large

 operators with core network solutions like SMS and WAP. While designing
 their MMS solution they had to choose an MTA to handle all the email
 involved in MMS. Of all the options, they choose qmail becuase it was
 secure, scalable and very reliable. Also their idea of scalable and
 reliale is 99.999% uptime and 200 msg/sec.

 That secures qmail as my mail server, always!!

 This is pretty much in responce to Jeffrey A Schmidt's mail called can't

 Jeffrey,

 Gentoo has once again made HUGE changes to a package without informing
it's users thereof before allowing the package to install.

 this is from the ebuild :

 einfo Use of vpopmail's tcp.smtp[.cdb] is also deprecated now, consider
 einfo using net-mail/relay-ctrl instead.

 incase you're wondering what this means ...

 from the install section:

 econf \
 ##SNIP##
 --disable-tcp-rules-prog --disable-tcpserver-file --disable-roamin
g-users \
 || die

 # TCPRULES for relaying is now considered obsolete, use relay-ctrl
instead





#--enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/bin/tcprules --enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcp.s
mtp \
 #--enable-roaming-users=y --enable-relay-clear-minutes=60 \
 #--disable-rebuild-tcpserver-file \

 They have disabled roaming users aka relaying in vpopmail. You need to
emerge relay-ctrl instead.
 Or work around this ..

here's my two cents on this issue...
maildirsize will not reset unless you use courier pop3d or qmail-pop3d with

 Is there a command to force vpopmail to recalculate the maildirsize. We
see
 a few cases where it is out of sync with the actual bytes and message
 count. Also, we see a few accounts that are over quota still are accepting
 mail - especially dictionary attack spams. Can the system enforce strict
 quotas and just not accept any mail when over quota. We had a account go
 over 997MB due to dictionary attacks and they had set the account as the
 default.

clamav isn't the problem. Wait a month and your output will look like this.
This happens when clamav wants you to update clamd and whatever. That's fine
but the admin might not get to it as soon as it becomes outdated, but with
this issue mail smtp breaks immediatly so the admin is forced to update
clamav the very second the scanning engine becomes outdated. I first
discovered this when I got a custom smtp rejection full of astisks
**, it was the first line of clamscans output. as soon as
I update clamscan simscan's smtp sessions work.

 I have checked the permissions of all the maildrop related files and the

 This is my .qmail-default and corresponding mailfilter.

  I am having problems trying to get maildrop working in my mail server.
  Have been using this configuration on a Redhat box for over a year and
  recently moved to a Gentoo solution. Getting maildrop to work is the
  only
  part that is failing.
 
  To build the server, I have used the following gentoo documentation:
  http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml
 
  Everything is running well but I get permission problems when I try to
  introduce maildrop. I am getting the following errors in the qmail-send
  logs:
 
  @400042bdac521ae5d764 new msg 1109815

  mailbox./
  @400042bdac522a5dcd64 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20
 
  I have checked the permissions of all the maildrop related files and
the
  maildir:
 
  xen2 qmail-send # ls -la /usr/bin/maildrop
  -rwxr-x---  1 vpopmail mail 166816 May 18 19:25 /usr/bin/maildrop
  xen2 qmail-send # ls -la /etc/maildrop/mailfilter
  -rw---  1 vpopmail vpopmail 545 May 18 20:28
  /etc/maildrop/mailfilter
 
  This is my .qmail-default and corresponding mailfilter.
 
  xen2 qmail-send # cat /var/vpopmail/domains/hippotje.com/.qmail-default
  |
 
  /usr/bin/maildrop /etc/maildrop/mailfilter
 
  xen2 qmail-send # cat /etc/maildrop/mailfilter

  MAX = 15
  VHOME=`/var/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
  VPOP=| /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox

  if ($VHOME)

 `test -d $VHOME/.maildir/$JUNKFOLDER`
 if( $RETURNCODE != 1 )
 {

{
   exception {
  xfilter /usr/bin/spamc -f -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   }
}
 }
 if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/)
 {
to $VHOME/.maildir/$JUNKFOLDER/
 }
 else
 {
to $VHOME/.maildir/
 }
  }
  else
  {
 to $VPOP
  }
 
  And finally -v output from maildrop.

  Does anybody have any advice? This is the key to my complete mail
  server!!
  I don't know if this is maildrop or vpopmail or qmail causing me the
  issue.

 It has been killing me too! The basic issue I have is that as soon as I
 change my .qmail-default to use maildrop it returns the following error:

  Man, I don't know, maildrop is pretty cut and dry. The compile options
are
  proper, what is the specific issue that you're having, basically give me
a
  scenario error messages, logs. Also paste the output from emerge
  maildrop -vp.

  Hi,
 
  I complied maildrop from the ebuild. Nothing has been compliled from
raw
  source. I have opened up the ebuild and checked the compile options.
  They
  are as follows:
 
  ./configure
  --prefix=/usr
  --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
  --mandir=/usr/share/man
  --infodir=/usr/share/info

   The first question that comes to mind is, did you compile maildrop
  from
   src
   or did you let portage to it for you? the guide you mentioned uses
   ebuilds,
   ebuilds that replace Maildir with .maildir in the source of courier,
   vpopmail, and qmail. Maildrop from source might not know about this
   change.

   Hi,
  
   I complied maildrop from the ebuild. Nothing has been compliled from
  raw
   source. I have opened up the ebuild and checked the compile options.
   They
   are as follows:
  
   ./configure
   --prefix=/usr
   --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
   --mandir=/usr/share/man
   --infodir=/usr/share/info
   --datadir=/usr/share
   --sysconfdir=/etc
   --localstatedir=/var/lib
   --with-devel
   --disable-tempdir
   --enable-syslog=1
   --enable-use-flock=1
   --enable-maildirquota
   --enable-use-dotlock=1
   --enable-restrict-trusted=1
   --enable-trusted-users=apache dspam root mail daemon postmaster
   qmaild
   mmdf vmail
   --enable-maildrop-uid=root
   --enable-maildrop-gid=mail
   --with-default-maildrop=./.maildir/
   --enable-sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail
 

  --cache-file=/var/tmp/portage/maildrop-1.8.0-r3/work/maildrop-1.8.0/co
   nfiguring.cache
--with-db=gdbm
  
  
The first question that comes to mind is, did you compile maildrop
   from
src
or did you let portage to it for you? the guide you mentioned uses
ebuilds,
ebuilds that replace Maildir with .maildir in the source of
  courier,
vpopmail, and qmail. Maildrop from source might not know about
this
change.

Hi,
   
I am having problems trying to get maildrop working in my mail

Subject: [vchkpw] Authentication problem


 Hi,
 I've set up a qmail server with vpopmail and vchkpw authentication on a
 Gentoo box. When I try to send mail through the smtp server from a remote
 host, I have to authenticate 3 times before I come through. My
 /var/log/messages files looks like this during the authentications:

 May 12 15:57:15 jupiter vpopmail[15822]: vchkpw-smtp: password fail
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:82.182.88.166
 May 12 15:57:23 jupiter vpopmail[15824]: vchkpw-smtp: password fail
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:82.182.88.166
 May 12 15:57:31 jupiter vpopmail[15826]: vchkpw-smtp: password fail
 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:82.182.88.166
 May 12 15:57:36 jupiter vpopmail[15828]: vchkpw-smtp: (PLAIN) login
 success [EMAIL PROTECTED]:82.182.88.166

 I have a ssl certificate (servercert.pem) in the qmail control directory,
 and according to the instructions on the Gentoo web site
 (http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml), I would be able to
 authenticate with ssl/tls. But the log says plain...

 What can cause these passwords fails (yes, I type the correct passwords),
 and how do I get a ssl connection?

 TIA

 Thanks for confirming that.
 I was able to create a single vpopmail table running make distclean
first.
 (Thanks to Tom Collins response).
 After that my qmailadmin stopped authenticating as well as imp, even the
user
 was there and password was correct and all services were up. I rolled back
to
 the individual tables per domain.  Does new vpopmail 5.5.x has mysql
driver for
 the multiple domains/tables setup?

 There is no problem. I can get data from valias-table.

 This looks also ok.

 Well it is clear what the problem is. Have you granted privilages to
the
 
   user vpopmail in your mysql database? Have you edited
   /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql?
 
 /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql is edited correctly and
 user vpopmail in my mysql database has not enough privileges to do this.
 He has only the rights for read and write in the table.
 This should be enough for an incoming only server, or?
 I'm wondering what is the reason that vmysql will create this table?
 The only tool that works during the smtp-session is chkuser, or?
