Re: [vchkpw] Mail to all users?
Hi, In an ISP situation, i.e. with many domains, each with many users, what's the easiest/best way to send a mail to all users? Here's my thoughts so far: vpopbull - would need to loop over all domains and run vpopbull once for each domain - not a major issue - Seems to write directly to the Maildir so it ignores any forwards ezmlm mailing list - Would be a bit of a pain to keep all addresses current, i.e. to keep the list members syncronised with the accounts on the server Any further ideas? Thanks, R. I use vpopbull. Just leave off the domain to send an email to all the virtual domains. Never noticed about forwards though. Sorry. Matt
Re: [vchkpw] That domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts
The mail server resides at a 172.16.0 net and the client machines at a 192.168.2.0 net. If I have understood the documentation correctly, vpopmail must be configured with --enable-roaming- users if the client machines are on a different net. Correct? The entry in /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp is 172.16.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= and I have done qmailctl cdb qmailctl stop /var/vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp qmailctl start Maybe I'm missing something too but shouldn't the contents of the tcp.smtp file say: 192.168.2.:allow,RELAYCLIENT= since the connections are coming FROM the 192 network? However, since this is a qmail-smtpd generated error you may want to address questions to the qmail.org mailing list (not that any of these fine people could answer your question mind you). Matt

Well the qmailrocks install - which from reading both LWQ and qmailrocks (as far as a basic install goes) qmailrocks seems to be builds upon the LWQ install - could be wrong though. In either case, are you using vpopmaild? I know little about it more than how to spell it, but if you're using it I could imagine it's part of your problem. Could it be an invalid/missing option in my NFS exports or the way I'm trying to mount the NFS share? unlikely. I kind of figured that and felt silly after I hit send. Matt

Matt How are you updating the files in /var/qmail/control that change when adding/removing a domain? I'm using the vadddomain command. /var/qmail/control is mounted on the NFS share so it should be updated - right? Matt

I started from scratch, recompiled qmail and patched using John Simpsons all-in-one patch v. 1.5 - now it works. I'm going to format and do a fresh install to test it again. I'll post back. Matt

The qmail-smtpd process doesn't have the correct permissions to read the vpasswd file for the domain (or the vpopmail.mysql file with the MySQL login info).

This is the setup I did: On the NFS server I created /home/domains, /home/users, /home/control I created user/group vpopmail:vchkpw and group qmail.

(example) drwxr-xr-x 3 vpopmail vchkpw 160 May 12 07:33 domains Have I got my permissions COMPLETELY screwed up? I know this is more of an NFS question rather than vpopmail - but I figure that anyone who has a working NFS/vpopmail setup should know. thanks, Matt

The big thing with NFS is make sure that the UID and GID are the _SAME_ on all machines. On the NFS /etc/passwd /etc/group has entry: vpopmail:x:1000:1000::/home/vpopmail:/bin/bash vchkpw:!:1000: On the clients it's: vpopmail:x:1007:1002::/home/vpopmail:/sbin/nologin vchkpw:!:1002: That could explain why after mounting the share on the client it gave the mount a user/group of alias:nofiles I'll try making them use the same UID/GID

[vchkpw] NFS and vpopmail
I've searched and searched because I was certain that this question has been asked and answered a thousand times, but I'm sorry to say I can't find what I'm looking for - so I'll turn to the mail list. I have two qmail servers, one for everyday production use and the second strictly as a failover device. I figure I need to have a common mailstore between the two so I decided I'll use an NFS server. From the FAQ it reads: This program [vadddomain] does the following: updates /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts updates /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains updates /var/qmail/users/assign updates /var/qmail/users/cdb runs /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu sends hup signal to qmail-send to accept new domain So I have /home/vpopmail/domains, /var/qmail/control/, /var/qmail/ users on my NFS. If on 10.0.0.1 I do vadddomain example.com pass it will create the domain and I can use my MUA to send/receive against 10.0.0.1 If I then set my MUA up to send/receive against 10.0.0.2 it fails and the logs report: vpopmail[4034]: vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:10.5.4.41 I have to delete / add the domain on 10.0.0.2 to get it to work - but then 10.0.0.1 will give me the same error. I know this is something really simple that I'm missing but ANY help/ ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt
