Limiting amount of email addresses a user can send an email to
Hey guys, how can I set limits so my users can only send to as many as X number of people per email they compose? Regards, Leo.
Re: qmail
That address DOES work. Serkan wrote: Hi all,I want to install qmail. The address of http://cr.yp.to/software/qmail-1.03.tar.gz doesn't work. Do you know another link for qmail?

Not related to vpopmail but since you guys do qmailadmin as well here it goes. It would be nice for qmailadmin to report when was the last time the user visited his account so that on large systems one could delete non-active accounts. My 2 cents. Leo.
Re: Don't sweat the small stuff.
Very well said Matt. I think that of all the open source Mail Code out , the combination of qmail+vpopmail+qmailadmin+sqwebmail is the best of all. REALLY. Don't let kids or grown ups that like to behave like kids spoil your efforts or the things you believe in. Besides who are they to critizice when they haven't taken the time to publish code that is open to be critizicism and be able to correct their mistakes. They don't know or don't realize how wrong they are.

Some of us appreciatethat it's open source. I've gone through quite a bit of effort to help document it. Have you seen my FreeBSD + Qmail + Vpopmail HOWTO? Take a look at it: http://matt.simerson.net/computing/qmail.toaster.shtml. Put a link to it on the vpopmail page. It's an excellent HOWTO and I know several guys have already built mail servers based on those instructions. That's a testimony to code quality. Even if it doesn't meet the yardstick of a bunch of script kiddies, the software does the job it's intended it to do. When bugs creep out we post them to the list. So far every issue I've had has been addressed. Grantedsometimes I have to wait a week or two but that's nothing compared to the length of time I've waited for some other software companies to fix their bugs. That testifies that at some levels, the open source project is working. Last, pulling the source code is the last thing you should ever do. Either you release it or you don't. If you don't then you're pissing on us, your users, and those that have contributed time to making the software betterwithout collecting a paycheck for doing so. You are punishing the wrong people. We're on your team and deserve better treatment than that. Matt On Thu, 7 Dec 2000, Ken Jones wrote: I'm sorry. The source code will be put back on the site within the next 24 hours. I apologize for the temporary lack of availablilty. Unfortunatly, i was conversing with people on #efnet on the openbsd channel, and they insulted me deeply. I can not begin to describe how deeply I was offeneded. It was not one thing or another thing, just the small attitudes of a small group of people. I would suggested you joing irc.east.gblx.net and go to the #openbsd channel and say at least something. The code will be put back up on the site soon. Better than ever. We are dedicated to providing open source software to the internet. It's just, some times, I get really ticked off when stupid kids tell me how bad my code is. And I know they don't understand.

Vpopmail+mysql + Sqwebmail won't authenticate pop3
Well, I thought I'd be able to migrate my vpopmail+sqwebmail to vpopmail+mysql+sqwebmail but it didn't work. I did vpopmail as follows, ./configure [EMAIL PROTECTED] --enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/local/bin/tcprules --enable-log-name=vpopmail --enable-vpopuser=vpopmail --enable-vpopgroup=vchkpw --enable-default-domain=mydomain.com --enable-mysql=y --enable-passwd=n --enable-harquota=700 --enable-tcpserver-file=/home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp I did edit the vmysql.h file and changed the password for the user . To make a long story short mysql is obvously not working. When a client is trying to pop3-in he gets a "could not connect to mysql" and the log says vpopmail[17932]: vchkpw: No virt found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:ip.or.the.person I believe I have entered everything right. And also if an email is sent to anyone in the system , the system rejects the email with the following error. qmail: 970290648.481591 delivery 6: failure: could_not_connect_to_mysql_server/v sql_getpw:_failed_select/vsql_getpw:_failed_select/Reason_for_failure:_/Unknown_local_POP_user_/home /vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user I'm running sqwebmail 1.0 and vpopmail.4.9.3a.
