vmysql: can't read settings from /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
Don't get why there's a Permission denied. Qmail-local, which has root,
is trying to open /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql.
# ls -l /var/qmail/bin/qmail-local
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 154450 Sep 22 09:02 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-local
# ls -l /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
-rw-r- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 45 Sep 11 14:16
/home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
I chmodded /vpopmail.mysql to 644, which got passed the Permission
denied error.
# chmod 644 vpopmail.mysql
After checking that it got past the error, I noticed that the permissions
were set to root on the ~/etc directory. (Root seems to be the default
after installation ~ bug??)
# pwd
/usr/home/vpopmail
# ls -l
total 6

That explains why vpopmail was getting the error on vpopmail.mysql

Still don't know why the vmysql error comes up, but for anyone getting
the same thing, I finally had to delete/recreate the domain(s) user(s) as
a
workaround:
1. shutdown qmail (as root):
#/var/qmail/rc stop
2. backup all emails (as root)
# cd /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/user1/Maildir/
# tar -czf /tmp/user1.email.tar.gz cur new .Sent
(tar for each user(s))
3. Backup user passwords:
# mysql -u root -p vpopmail
mysql SELECT CONCAT(pw_name,@,pw_domain), pw_clear_passwd INTO OUTFILE
'/tmp/vpopuserspasswd.out' FROM vpopmail WHERE pw_name 'postmaster';
4. Delete all the domain(s) (as root).
# /home/vpopmail/bin/vdeldomain mydomain.com
(Delete each domain(s))
5. Delete all the lock files in /var/qmail/control and users (as root):
# rm /var/qmail/control/*.lock /var/qmail/users/*.lock
6. Delete the cdb database (as root)
# rm /var/qmail/users/cdb
7. Recreate the domain(s) (as root):
# /home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain mydomain mypasswd
8. Recreate the users (as root):
# bash
$ while read a
do
/home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser $a
done /tmp/vpopuserspasswd.out
9. Recreate the maildirsize (as vpopmail) especially needed when
using the quota_usage plugin:
# su - vpopmail
# bash
$ for i in `awk '{print $1}' /tmp/vpopuserspasswd.out`
do
/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo $i
done
10. Delete (or save) the /tmp/vpopuserspasswd.out
Tom, if you need anything else (i.e. more trace dumps, or whatever),
let me know.

[vchkpw] message is looping mail is looping
Is there a solution to stop mail from looping when addressed to a non-existent user? qmail -1.03 vpopmail 5.3.27 qmailadmin 1.0.26 I have a very similiar message is looping mail is looping problem such as this person had: http://mail-archives.neolug.org/qmail/Nov-2002/0462.html I have a cron job that sends an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] But vpopmail resends it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and starts looping. Plus, any spam will mail loop. Has anyone found a solution or way to find the solution for it? Many thanks, Frank P.S. I've tried deleting the domain and recreating it with users: /home/vpopmail/bin/vdeldomain mydomain.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain mydomain.com mypass /home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] mypass Same thing. A email addressed to a non-existent user will mail loop. I've tried making a user in qmailadmin the catchall. Same thing. The email addressed to a non-existent user will still mail loop.

I'd like to note that my /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file had these lines: mydomain.com:mydomain.com mydomain2.com:mydomain2.com But I tried inserting my system account with this change in /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains file: mydomain.com:frank mydomain2.com:frank mydomain.com:mydomain.com mydomain2.com:mydomain2.com But now all the non-existent accounts gets sent to my system account frank (i.e. /etc/passwd) into my Maildir (/home/frank/Maildir/), instead of my vpopmail user account [EMAIL PROTECTED] (i.e. /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/frank) And all correct emails addressed to me, [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets sent to my vpopmail user account (/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/frank/Maildir). At least I stopped the mail loops, but still how do you get emails addressed to non-existent accounts to go to the vpopmail user account, instead of system account? Many thanks, Frank
[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).

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] Inter7 mail server doesn't have reverse DNS!
It is becoming more and more prevalent that ISPs are denying recipt of e-mails that do not have a reverse DNS on their e-mail domains. Mainly because of so many spammers using forged headers. --- Nick Harring [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We currently run our hosted systems requiring reverse DNS and haven't really had any complaints about mail not being received.

You'll be losing a lot more legit mail than just this list if you do that. Agreed. There is no rule that demands reverse DNS. It's a nicety and that's it. Regards, Andrew
[vchkpw] Autoresponder compile problem
I tried serarching the Archive for this and have not found any solutions. I have a FreeBSD machine and when I type make in the autoresponder 2.0.2 directory I get this error right away. gcc -Wall -o autorespond autorespond.c autorespond.c:381: conflicting types for `strcasestr' /usr/include/string.h:86: previous declaration of `strcasestr' What is the the correct solution for this problem so that I can complete the compile process and install it.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail installation
Hello All: I installed Qmail today with Vpopmail. The thing is I use Postfix for my SMTP server and still want to. I have Postfix configured to send mail to Qmail's sendmail program like was shown on the inter7 website. I just use transport maps instead of fallback transport. Either way, the mail comes into Postfix and I see it being sent to qmail, but never gets delivered. I checked the qmail queue directory and I found the mail sitting in the todo/ directory. My question is how do I start up Qmail to just run the queue and not have it try and bind to port 25. I want Postfix to remain bound to port 25 and act as my SMTP server. I just need Qmail to deliver mail to the vpopmail/domains/whatever Maildir's so people can get their mail. Please let me know what I need to startup Qmail do accomplish what I need. Maybe, as soon as I get used to Qmail, I may use it to do all my mail services. I have just been using Postfix for so many years that I do not want to stop using it to accept mail just yet. I love the Virtual Mail though, vpopmail is fantastic.. Thanks for you help in advance.. Frank
[vchkpw] ucspi-tcp-0.88-mysql.patch
Hi, i've a Problem with the tcpserver-mysql-patch. The patched tcpserver is installed and running with the -S option. It looks like it reads the /var/qmail/control/sql - file. (When I change the filename there is an error in the smtpd-logfile...) My IP-Adress is in the mysql-db after I do pop3. But I can't relay. I've installed the same on a test-system 2 weeks ago. There it works fine. I've installed exactly the same, I think. Do you have any hint? Thanks, Frank
Stupid Question
I know this is probably a stupid question, and I am probably going to get flamed to death for it, but I am going to ask it anyway. How, using the vipmap do you assign an IP address to a domain? The vipmap command has only one parameter. From what I can tell the command syntax is: vipmap [options] ip_domain. This doesn't make sense if my server has, say, 5 domains and I want to assign each of them their own IP. According to what I can see there's no way to do this. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the command syntax like: vipmap [options] ip_address mail_domain? What am I missing?
Re: having trouble w/ vQregister install
I had the same problem. I think the scripts calls the qmail-remote script (since it sends the conformation e-mails to outside e-mail servers, but not to any domains locally hosted on the machine) instead of injecting straight into the queue. Just a guess.. :) Frank Michael23 wrote: Hello... I'm running: -- qmail-1.03 sqwebmail-1.2.4 qmailadmin-0.42 vpopmail-4.9.8 and I'm trying to install vQregister.. The software installs ok... the mail accounts are created... I can see them in qmailadmin... the only thing is, it is not sending out the e-mail confirmations... I have Verify on in the config file... I'm pretty new to qmail in general... am I missing something? after registering I get the basic confirmation screen... but no e-mail is sent. Any ideas... Thanks, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
