Re: [vchkpw] Forward non-existing accounts to another server (same domain)

I have one domain mydomain.com and i need split this between 3 geographical places, differents users of course. You can achieve this by writing a qmail-remote wrapper which gets called in .qmail files. Search the qmail list for discussions on this. This would be a simple solution but will require you to maintain .qmail files for users to re-direct the mail to another host. If you can digest something that is complicated, please look at IndiMail - http://www.indimail.org which does exactly what you require. IndiMail modifies qmail-rspawn to look for the location of users in a MySQL table called hostcntrl. So you can split users for a domain across multiple hosts. In fact one of the host can be MS Exchange, one can be lotus notes, etc. Additionally, IndiMail provides proxy for IMAP and POP3 so that users can transparently connect to any host and yet see their mailbox. Most of the commands in IndiMail are same as vpopmail (vadddomain, vadduser, vdeluser, vpasswd, etc) with the difference that they work on users distributed across geographical domains. IndiMail is a mix of ideas from qmail and vpopmail. !DSPAM:4dc8012032719027393581!
Re: [vchkpw] DKIM?
On Tue, Feb 1, 2011 at 1:01 AM, Roberto Puzzanghera ad...@sagredo.eu wrote: Hello Manvendra, I'm testing your patch and reading all your docs. Can you please clarify which is the advantage of filtering at smtp level? At the SMTP level, qmail-smtpd does not break a mail addressed to multiple recipients. Hence a single mail addressed to multiple recipients will undergo encryption/decryption for DKIM only once. In case you decide to do DKIM at remote/local delivery for better control on signing/verification, DKIM will happen for every delivery. At the local/remote delivery, qmail-send does an individual delivery for each recipient in an email message. So if you have a mail addressed to 10 recipients, DKIM will happen 10 times. Also if the delivery to the destination fails with a temp error, the delivery will be retried and DKIM will also happen again. !DSPAM:4d47722532716834316241!

Or is it in the dkfilter man page as part of the patch? I think you mean dk-filter. The man page is part of the patch. You can use qmail-dkim(8) if you want signing/verification at SMTP. You can use dk-filter(8) if you desire signing/verification only at local/remote delivery. You will need to set the environment variables DKIMSIGN to the path of the private key (generated by dknewkey(8) or openssl). The variable needs to be set in the script which calls qmail-send. I believe you want to do DKIM signing only for your remote mails. You will have to set QMAILREMOTE=/var/indimail/bin/spawn-filter also in the qmail-send script. Finally you will either need to use the control file /var/qmail/control/filterargs or the environment variable FILTERAGS. Advantage of control file is that you can have DKIMSIGNING only for specific domains. e.g. remote_domain:remote:/var/qmail/bin/dk-filter Will execute dk-filter only for outgoing mails destined for the domain remote_domain. You can use the following page for configuration instructions. The only thing you will have to do differently is setting the environment variables (which I presume will be /var/qmail/rc). The page below assumes a setup which uses envdir(8) and all environment variables for qmail-send are in /service/qmail-send.25/variables. http://indimail.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-to-set-dkim-signature-in-indimail.html !DSPAM:4d44d52032711917789942!

A quick check and it looks like it's only referenced when adding a
user or updating the tcp.smtp.cdb file. There are a few other
references, but the common things (like vchkpw and vdelivermail)
don't appear to make use of it.
Probably not a big deal to use getpwnam.
Not a big deal using getpwnam(). Also if you run nscd daemon,
password/group file lookups get cached
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5166/nscd-1m?a=view
Also using getpwnam() function allows you to use hooks like NSS (Name
Service Switch) - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_Service_Switch
In Unix-like operating systems, the Name Service Switch (NSS) allows
Unix configuration databases to be provided by different sources,
including local files (for
example: /etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/hosts), LDAP, and other sources.
In case it can be used, attaching a function GetVpopID() which I used
with vpopmail in my early days of using vpopmail. It uses static
variables to cache the uid/gid.

The message never reaches the final branch server. Its bounced by the central server. After reading this mail, I don't think that I have understood the setup. How are the mails then picked up from the above Maildir? Just to explain I also use similar setup for banks who have branches with intermittent connectivity. Typically, I don't use vdelivermail on the central server. Just the maildir in the .qmail-default i.e. /mail1//autoturn/Maildir/ The delivered-To is inserted by the qmail-local program On the branch servers I have fetchmail which uses ODMR (atrn) to pull the mails from the central server and deliver it locally. ODMR causes maildirsmtp to run on /mail1//autoturn/Maildir/ and strips of the Delivered-To header when submitting it to the local SMTP on the branch server. There is no issue with delivering as the Delivered-To is stripped off. But in your case you have to figure out the reason for the two Delivered-To: headers. There should be only one. !DSPAM:49f19f2a32686867214321!

I use courier imap for few reasons below. Honestly, I haven't studied dovecot so much as to come to pros and cons. 1. IMAP and POP3 services get configured under supervise and tcpserver. i.e. courier-imap is daemontools and ucspi-tcp friendly. Since I use qmail as the MTA, everthing is quite like running qmail. 2. The code is modular. The programs for login, authentication and actual implementation of IMAP/POP3 protocol are all handled by different programs (e.g. imaplogin, pop3login, authvchkpw, imapd, pop3d). This makes it trivial implementing of hooks into courier-imap. I have implemented hooks to force password change, implement instant bulletins, send welcome mails to new users, quota warning to users exceeding disk space, etc. 3. The modular code has also helped me implement a proxy for IMAP and POP3. For an ISP we had around 3Million+ users. Using the proxy it was possible to have these users split across 30 different servers located at different places. NFS was not possible and the proxy authenticated against a database containing user locations and executed the executable imapd or pop3d on the remote host. The user could log in to any machine and still see all his/her mails. 4. All configuration items in courier-imap are configurable through environment variables. e.g. IMAP_CHECK_ALL_FOLDERS, IMAP_EMPTYTRASH, MAXPERIP, MAILDIRPATH, etc. Hence using envdir invocation in the run file of supervise makes it possible to configure courier-imap through simple text files. I am sure same would be possible in dovecot but I do not know as I have grown up from the early days (2001) with courier-imap. One of these days I might dirty my hands with dovecot. Till then it is courier-imap for me :) Regards Manvenda (http://www.indimail.org) !DSPAM:496ffbdb32671972818673!
[vchkpw] Backfill Patch for dir_control

It also modifies Makefile.am to compile backfill() function. Apart from providing backfill(), the patch also provides an authentication module for courier-imap (which I am maintaining). The executable authindi needs to be copied to courier-imap's authlib directory. It would be interesting to see a more efficient method where duplicates, as in your example, the hash directory 2, could be listed a single time. I get the point. Will work on this but would take some more time. This would be easier to do in MySQL though. Remember that this feature does not yet exist, and that there are probably many systems with backfilling needs that go back years. Potentially this patch could hit a system with four levels of hashing simply because there's been a lot of additions and deletions. If the backfill patch doesn't take this into consideration, we may need to consider writing some sort of utility to analyze and clean, a system that is overhashed. If someone could work on a script which does ls on the domain directories and creates this file, the script would then fulfill the needs of some of us who needs backfilling. I can do this script probably this Saturday. Let me know if this is also needed. Dave, Your dircheck.sh script could shorten the development time for me.

This would not work because users can be deleted out of the hash tree
anywhere. It appears your patch assumes a FILO ordering of user additions
and deletions.
I have not been able to explain properly. It would be FIFO.
If the hashes, 'a' through 'd' existed, and the 'b' hash directory cleared
out, your method would fail to backfill correctly.
Let's take an example
suppose
there are 100 users (with 100 directories) in /var/vpopmail/domains
there are 100 users (with 100 directories) in /var/vpopmail/domains/0
there are 100 users (with 100 directories) in /var/vpopmail/domains/1
there are 100 users (with 100 directories) in /var/vpopmail/domains/2
there are 50 users (with 50 direcotires) in /var/vpopmail/domains/3
Now let say I delete a user who has a directory
in /var/vpopmail/domains/1
The backfill code will put the entry '1' in the first line in the file
dir_control_free.
Also let us say that we delete two users in /var/vpopmail/domains/2
The backfill code in vdeluser will put entry '2' twice in the file
dir_control_free
So after deleting 3 users, the file dir_control_free will have 3 lines
1
2
2
So now we have 99 users in /var/vpopmail/domains/1
andwe have 98 users in /var/vpopmail/domains/2
Now the modified vadduser will call a function called backfill() which
will open this file, lock the file and pickup the first line, delete the
line and return the value as user_hash
#ifdef USERS_BIG_DIR
/* go into a user hash dir if required */
if (!(user_hash = backfill(domain)))
{
open_big_dir(domain, uid, gid);
user_hash = next_big_dir(uid, gid);
close_big_dir(domain, uid, gid);
chdir(user_hash);
}
#endif
Each time the function backfill() is called it will deplete the file
dir_control_free by one line and will always return the first line as
the user_hash. When all lines get depleted, backfill() will return NULL
in which case the regular dir_control will again come into effect and
start from where it had left earlier.
The advantage of this method is that you can use the find command to
generate the missing directories in dir_control_free to catch up with
the actual dir_control.
Another way to explain this is that when backfill is in operation,
dir_control stops working and when backfill() gets depleted and stops
working, dir_control starts working

[vchkpw] ANNOUNCE: Flexible Single Sign-On for IndiMail and Vpopmail
FSSOS stands for Flexible Single Sign-On Solution and has been written by Ben Goodwin for extending authentication via getpwnam(), getspnam(), getgrent(), etc calls. Official website: http://fssos.sourceforge.net/ This source has been hacked and adapted to IndiMail as nssd from the FSSOS site. The hacked source will also work with vpopmail by just changing the configuration file nssd.conf. You just need to change the table_name, username, password, uid, gid appropriate for your vpopmail installation. nssd is a multi-threaded daemon and pre-connects to MySQL. This saves response times in user lookup queries as one no longer needs to keep on making and breaking connections to MySQL nssd is experimental and without warranty. The hacked source can be downloaded from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/indimail/nssd-1.0.tar.gz Modification has been made to have user and domain in the query e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets split into mbhangui as the user and gmail.com as the domain. This split allows authentication against IndiMail's MySQL database. By just changing the configuration, authentication should also work for vpopmail. The other change I have made is to make the Name Service Switch daemon supervise friendly. You may also want to look at the wonderful original code written by Ben. You may find this of use if you want to run a IMAP/POP3 server which does not yet have support for IndiMail or vpopmail Having this installed allows many IMAP/POP3 servers which use getpwnam(), getspnam(), PAM, etc to authenticate against IndiMail's database without making a single change to the IMAP/POP3 server code. This gives a Yet Another Way to have courier-imap, dovecot, etc to authenticate against your own custom MySQL database.

If you see a -lc before a -pthread or -lpthread, then you're in trouble. You'll notice the broken behavior in the form of fewer-than-expected threads running (3) and the inability to kill the parent process off without a -9 signal. To fix this, do the following: PTRHEAD_LIBS=-lpthread -lc ./configure and then run make/make install.

[vchkpw] brand new courier-imap authmodule for vpopmail-5.4.26d
I think this might be useful for few. so I did a strace to hack the courier-imap authentication protocol. I have tweaked a bit the module which i wrote for IndiMail to make it work for vpopmail. The module is totally independent of courier-imap (i.e. it will get installed in the vpopmail bin directory without the presence of courier-imap). And you need not depend on courier-imap mailing list for help. However, you need to copy the executable 'authvchkpw' manually to the courier-imap libexec/authlib directory. To install it you need to apply patch to vpopmail-5.4.26d. It modifies Makefile.am, configure.in, vpopmail.c,vpopmail.h and creates a new file authvchkpw.c. I have tested it on my laptop and found it to work. You need to set AUTHMODULES in courier-imap needs to have authvchkpw as one of the authentication modules The module does the following reads 5 lines from imaplogin or pop3login. Authenticates the user and if successful executes imapd or pop3d executable. If the authentication is not successful, the data is passed to the next authmodule in chain. On successful authentication the module adds entry to lastauth and a entry in relay table. Instructions are in INSTALL section below. If you need more help let me know.

[vchkpw] ANNOUNCE: IndiMail authmodule for courier-imap
IndiMail (http://www.indimail.org) works with a hacked authvchkpw module to authenticate with courier-imap. courier-imap no longer supports the vchkpw module. After getting tired of frequently hacking the authvchkpw module to work with new versions of courier-imap, I have finally made the module independent of courier-imap. The new module 'authindi' reads data from file descriptor 3 the way courier-imap expects it's authentication modules to read. It then queries IndiMail's authentication database using 'inlookup' query daemon. If the authentication is successful, it writes an entry in the relay table for relay, lastauth table for audit. It then executes imapd or pop3d executable. If the authentication is unsuccessful, it calls other authentication module in the pipeline. inlookup has the same purpose as that of vpopmail's vpopmaild daemon. But it works on a fifo instead of sockets. The authindi module can easily be hacked to make it work with vpopmail. For those who may be interested you can download the patch at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/indimail/indimail-1.1-rc1.patch.gz The patch is meant for indimail, however you may create an empty indimail-1.0 directory and apply the patch. (ignore the error for Makefile.am) I am currently working on a generic PAM module which will allow any IMAP Server's PAM authentication module to authenticate using 1) a command 2) a pipe 3) any MySQL query I am writing in a way that it will work for both IndiMail and vpopmail and make it possible for any IMAP server to authenticate against vpopmail or IndiMail.

[vchkpw] libnss support for IndiMail/vpopmail
I feel happy to announce that I have built NSS support for IndiMail (http://www.indimail.org). It is based on a patch on libnss-mysql at sourceforge.net. IndiMail is mail server which patches qmail to integrate qmail-smtpd (auth, relay,etc), qmail-local, qmail-remote, with IndiMail's MySQL database. The patch should work for vpopmail as the schema for the user database is the same (just change the sql statement in config file) The patch is standalone and can easily adapted or adopted for your own MySQL database. NSS stands for NameService Switch. NSS allows you to implement access to various data using any number of modules. This means that when the operating system wants to look any user, it doesn't have to know how - it calls upon the NSS system to perform the task. One can write modules for NSS to look for users in places other than /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow. The NSS API is the backend for lookup routines like getpwnam(), getpwuid(), etc Almost all IMAP servers that I know of have modules to authenticate users out of /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, etc. By using NSS, authentication of IMAP servers can be extended to use databases like MySQL, LDAP. You can download the libnss-mysql at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=56073release_id=354053 and the patch for IndiMail at http://downloads.sourceforge.net/indimail/libnss-mysql-1.5.patch.gz to build NSS support for Indimail. For other mail servers, you may want to change the SQL statement in the libnss-mysql.cfg configuration file. libnss-mysql and this patch allows an Imap Server like the courier imap to use the authpam module shipped with it without changing a single line of courier-imap. The patch builds support for PAM routines to authenticate users against IndiMail's MySQL database. I have tested this with courier imap's authpam. Installation involves familiar ./configure; make; make install Configuration involves putting 2 files in /etc a) libnss-mysql.cfg This file specifies the SQL statement for selecting a user from a MySQL database b) libnss-mysql-root.cfg This file specifies connection parameters for connecting to your MySQL database c) modifying /etc/nsswitch.conf and have the two lines below passwd: files mysql shadow: files mysql Two big advantage as I see it 1) the function getpwnam() gets extended and applications which use this routine automatically gets extended for user lookups in MySQL database 2) You can run the Name Service Cache Daemon (/usr/sbin/nscd) on linux. nscd gives you good performance boost by caching repeated requests. You can modify the SQL statement in the file /etc/libnss-mysql.cfg to use your own specific MySQL database. You can compile a small tester program to test users in your own MySQL databse.

Re: [vchkpw] Qmail should queue every mail
two solutions 1. Don't start qmail-send in your RC script (in case u are not using supervise (comment out the line having qmail-start). If qmail-send is already running kill pid of qmail-send If using supervise, touch /service/qmail-send/down svc -d /service/qmail-send (having the down file will prevent qmail-send to come up the next time you reboot your m/c) 2. have 0 in the control files concurrencylocal and concurrencyremote Regards On Fri, 2004-01-09 at 16:41, Werner Schalk wrote: Hi guys, I know this is not the official qmail list but I might get the best answers on this list here :-) How can I make qmail to queue every incoming mail and not sending it?

Re: [vchkpw] Re: Tom's fork of vpopmail (and qmailadmin)
Let us stop this now and put this war behind us. I can see that Tom has added Ken as an admin. Cheers to Tom and Ken Regards Manvendra On Wed, 2003-09-10 at 19:39, Benjamin Tomhave, CISSP wrote: First off, everybody needs to quit whining. Seriously, if Tom hadn't taken up the reins, there would be ZERO DEVELOPMENT on this project right now. Unless you were willing to send a truck of cash to Inter7, they would often not even respond to emails asking whether development would continue, let alone addressing actual, verified bugs in the code. Second, if there's confusion about what a devel release is versus a stable release, then I suggest you go back to kindergarten, because this is NOT A NEW METHOD for developing an open source project. If you're confused, perhaps it's because you're not very smart, in which case maybe you ought not be a systems administrator. Some of us are running devel code in our production environments because we needed features that Inter7 didn't seem inclined to add, such as seekable patch, etc. Under the pressure of meeting customer demands, it has been absolutely necessary to install devel releases. HOWEVER, that DOESN'T MEAN installing EVERY devel release -- just installing one that seems stable while providing the needed functionality. Third, there are certainly improvements that can be made to the PROCESS. But, btw, in case everybody was sleeping when he announced it, Tom has created a vpopmail-devel mailing list where all of you can contribute to the devel discussions, where, oh btw, the question of CVS access has been presented previous and will, I believe, be forthcoming. Should this be a separate fork? No. Why? Because, imho, regardless of what Ken Jones might claim, vpopmail has been shelved by Inter7, and is thus a dead product without this open source SF project. Inter7 has failed, probably for economic reasons, to continue supporting the product in the open source community, which has been a very common occurrence over the past few years. That anybody took over the development and moved it forward is quite amazing, and I think we all ought to heartily thank Tom for doing so. Now, onto the specific concerns raised, I think the following practice should be adopted: 1) CVS should be enabled. 2) If KJ wants to be an admin, then he needs to justify his request more than it was my baby originally, and then he should be added. 3) Instead of releasing devel releases, I think we should switch to a nightly build approach so that there is stable-current and then latest-devel, and not a string of devel releases. Tom, I would probably list 3 packages total: 5.2.x-stable, the last 5.3.x release from Inter7, and then 5.3.x-latest-devel. 4) Inter7 needs to get over themselves and gradually join back into the development, IF AND ONLY IF they plan to play nicely with others. If they don't, then maybe they should go get bent since there's been a ton of positive movement on this project in their absence. NO FORKING. Disclaimer: If you disagree with these comments, that's your prerogative, but I personally don't want to hear sniping comments back about it, because frankly, I don't value the opinion of most of you. The list membership over the past year has become overpopulated with whiny idiots who have no appreciation for where the product has been, how it almost died, and how it has now seen tremendous progress in the absence of Ken and Inter7.

He refuses to let me share ownership of the vpopmail and qmailadmin projects on source forge. When I asked him to add me as an owner on the project he said he refuses now and at any time in the future to allow me to share ownership. I have forked ownership since I felt that Inter7 was doing a poor job of maintaining vpopmail and qmailadmin. I readily acknowledge that Ken created vpopmail and qmailadmin. They're GPL projects, so I'm free to fork them if I like. Since moving the projects to SourceForge, we've kept up with submitted patches and bug reports. I feel that making the move was beneficial to the projects themselves and the people that use them. I'm certainly not doing this to be malicious or to hurt Ken and Inter7. I've told Ken that he's more than welcome to contribute to the project on SourceForge, or to maintain his own version of vpopmail and qmailadmin. I also stated that until I stopped actively maintaining vpopmail and qmailadmin, I saw no need to add him as a project administrator. Michael Bowe has been actively involved with vpopmail development, and I had no problem adding him as an admin. Ken Jones hasn't contributed to vpopmail and qmailadmin development since March. We've had 12 qmailadmin releases and 7 vpopmail releases since then. Managing the

My mysql vpopmail db is cleared out, i've looked in all makefiles, etc, there's nothing in my control files that point to this old domain, and i've done a grep for this string system-wide. There's not any trace of it being around. Anyone know why this might be happening or where I can change this path back to /home/vpopmail instead of /usr/home/vpopmail for this particular domain???
