Re: [vchkpw] how to apply various patches to qmail
Bogdan Motoc - CRC wrote: Hello fellow qmail enthusiasts, While preparing for a new mail server installation some questions have surfaced. The intent is to use: - smtp authentication to allow roaming users to relay mail - chkuser to validate recipient existence and reject messages before they are sent - simscan to process messages through clamav and spamassassin while they are being transfered All of these require qmail to be patched several times, and probably in a certain order. The documentations for the above refer to patching netqmail-1.05, but usually they don't take into account the other patches. So, while they might apply cleanly to netqmail, combined they can't be applied automatically and some source editing is required. Meanwhile, netqmail-1.06 seems to be the current version and the CHANGES file doesn't list the additions from 1.05 except the legal changes. So my question is this: in which order must the following patches be applied to netqmail-1.06? - qmailqueue - qmail-maildir++ - chkuser - qmail-queue-custom-error - qmail-smtpd-auth Have any of these been integrated into netqmail-1.06, thus not needing patching anymore? Vpopmail has to be installed before any patching is done to qmail or installing simscan, right? Hi, http://www.shupp.org/toaster/ has all the patches and links needed for all of the above.

Johnston) qmail-smtpd-auth-0.31 patch to include support for CRAM-MD5 with an additional cmd5checkpw PAM. Unfortunately, though wide-spread, Krysztof Dabrowski's SMTP-Auth patch breaks the checkpassword interface for CRAM-MD5. Instead of transmitting the sequence 'userid\0password\0challenge\0' it uses 'userid\0challenge\0password\0'. *** Another obstacle is to close (like 'qmail-popup') unnecessarily file descriptor 2 (FD 2). This inhibits a common logging to STDERR. *** Also, the unconditional close of FD 3 (to provide the AUTH information to the PAM) conflicts with reading control/morercpthosts.cdb.

There's no current way to do this, mostly because there's no easy way to authenticate the sent mail. You wouldn't want a spammer, or an employee who shouldn't be emailing everyone, to email company-wide. You could write an email interface to vpopbull probably. One that requires a password somewhere in the email, and have it passed the message via a dotqmail file.

Re: [vchkpw] logging capabilities

The patch in question rejects at the smtp communication level. It does not cause backscatter. It's rejects the email with a 551 User unknown response. It does not stop the dictionary attack scenario but it can be set to reject any email address after a configurable bad recipient limit has been reached. I'd recommend at least taking a look at everything it can do. It can be found at http://www.interazioni.it/opensource/chkuser/ and is incorporated into many qmail/vpopmail toaster scripts.

If the table is deleted, it applies them to the .qmailadmin-limits file. So now, vpopmail and vqadmin are talking to .qmailadmin-limits; all that remains is to get qmailadmin to talk to .qmailadmin-limits. After recompiling vpopmail with --disable-mysql-limits, make clean and make qmailadmin. That should fix the problem. qmailadmin reads fine from .qmailadmin-limits here.

[vchkpw] Just thought I'd share
Hi, We just finished successfully moving a 20K user sendmail setup to qmail/vpopmail. What we did, in stages, is: 1) Create two external smtp in MTA's using qmail 2) Create a NSF mount located on a Netapps for /home/vpopmail/domains 3) Create all the 20K users on an SMTP OUT/POP host running qmail/vpopmail using the mysql module. 4) Add chkuser on the external MTAs for user checking by having the domains listed in rcpthosts and users/assign, but not in virtualdomains 5) Today we moved sendmail IP over to a qmail/vpopmail server and added the domains to virtualdomains so the external MTAs do local delivery to the NFS mount. End result, we have the two external MTAs receiving, validating and virus/spam scanning the incoming emails and doing local delivery for our main domains (we're an ISP). As well, we are now scanning user outbound mail for viri and spam which we were not doing with sendmail. Identical systems and the old sendmail server was running at 1.5 - 3.0 load. The new qmail server is running at 0.13. Just thought you might be interested in the setup. Regards, Rick !DSPAM:474ca45332001386380848!

(we tried postfix with its remote recipient verification, but it cant handle the loads and even its author recommends not to use on very busy systems, we dont use qmail on the front line boxes because we dont have to fear breaking patches trying to incorporate RBL, SPF, SAV, DNS checks, badmx zone checks, bad helo, force helo, and milter-regex to stop all home users etc etc etc, sure we might end up geting qmail to do all these, but after how many hours, when with sendmail its just there and adding a milter after another milter cant break patching like with qmail :) ) We do the same thing but with Bill Shupp's qmail toaster (and no additional patches). Each external MX talks to two SA servers in round robin and then the mail is delivered to the end user pop/smtp server (soon to be delivered directly by the external MX's, whoot!).

Re: [vchkpw] Can I delete mail in user's cur directory via command line?
Blake Girardot wrote: Hi, I am using qmailadmin 1.2.10 and vpopmail 5.4.15. I have a user that has around 500 megs worth of messages in their cur directory. I asked them to please remove messages from the server in their pop client, but now they say that it just times out after a long time when checking their email, and I can see that messages are still not being removed from their cur directory. Can I just cd into their cur directory and rm * the files myself from the command line? I searched the archives of this list but didn't have any luck finding anything that addressed the question of recent vintage. Best Wishes. Hi, Short answer is yes long answer is you might have to find . -type f | xargs rm (in the cur directory) or rm 1188* rm 1189* etc to get them all removed. Regards, Rick

Hi,
How is qmail going to read the .qmail-* files owned by vpopmail:vchkpw,
and only readable by that user, if the user it is running as is qmaild ?
Here my -u is the uid of vpopmail and the -g is the gid of vchkpw

The logfile smtpd/current shows these messages for mails that are delivered to an adress which will be forwarded with an dot-qmail file: @400046ad060a2ee9c5f4 tcpserver: pid 24710 from 193.99.144.71 @400046ad060a2eeb2d54 tcpserver: ok 24710 0:213.221.xxx.xx:25 :193.99.144.71::43701 @400046ad060b1956e67c unable to stat /usr/daten/vpopmaildomains/domains/xxx.de/.qmail-testrc: access denied @400046ad060b1b978b94 tcpserver: end 24710 status 0 Where do the line .. unable to stat ... mean? It seems the .qmail-xxx files are evaluated and the mails is delivered correctly. The permissons are the same as on our other systems. Hi, Can you give us the output of an ls -la in the domains and domains/xxx.de directories ? Regards, Rick

Q I can't say since we don't use cdb here but just fyi, we added 18K users (approx) today to a new vpopmail server using mysql in under 5 minutes. Regards, Rick PS. What email client are you using that doesn't do wrapping of text ?
Re: [vchkpw] Gray list

I have multiple IPs but only some are accepting mail and not all of them want to have gray list enable. Thanks, Remo If you are running Bill's toaster then it would be an easy matter to install the grey listing patch he has and rewrite the mysql queries to only grey list on one (or more) local IP addresses.

Re: [vchkpw] cdb -V- Sql
Peter Normann wrote: Quey wrote: I've read that use of SQL for vpopmail is really only advantageous when you get many domains. Not exactly. SQL is advantageous if you somewhere down the road want to implement a web based management system for administering accounts. However, what about 1 domain, at how many users would it be faster to use SQL over the default cdb file? Is it beneficial at 10K users or 50K users in the same domain, or no real gain at all until 100K users, or never? I am uncertain whether SQL provides performance gains under any circumstances. Maybe someone could expand on this... Peter Hi, It's good to have them stored in mysql if you are moving domains over from another server using rsync and miss a trailing / on the domain name while using the --delete delete flag. This is because vpopmail will recreate the users directory from the path stored in mysql. If you were using .cdb files, those .cdb files would have been deleted as well and *I* would have been up a creek without a paddle. Not that I've ever done that. /me whistles into the wind. I know this doesn't answer your question but I thought I'd share. Rick
Re: [vchkpw] FQDN
M... wrote: Hi. Usually, in qmail, with a single domain, you would have in locals, your domain and FQDN for which you accept/deliver email, but when you decide to have many domains and only use virtual domains in vpopmail, the locals is empty. If your main domain = mydomain.com your mail server FQDN = alpha.mydomain.com How do you make sure that bounces to alpha.mydomain.com gets delievered to mydomain.com ? I'm seeing a few rejections to bounces in my log as alpha.mydomain.com isn't recognized. Sorry, I didn't use qmail and multiple domains before but jumped straight to vpopmailso don't know how that part works. Hi, Make alpha.mydomain.com a domain alias to mydomain.com ?

My current solution would be to actually update the subscribers list of such a mailing list every night.. (anyone could post to an alias, the users wouldn't like it :)) Thanks, Regards, Renaud Hi, See vpopbull Regards, Rick

Once you start swapping every thing is going to slow to a halt. I'd increase the amount of ram (we run 4 gig on all our SA servers) and see if it would be possible to get a separate machine to just run spamd on. Regards, Rick

Please, I need some pointing where to look at. i fit is possible done by chkuser or another way (qmail-ldap) One option would be to create a duplicate of the domain, users and aliases, on the relay server and then remove the domain.com entry from virtualdomains. chkusr will check the duplicate for required users but qmail-send will use the smtproutes to send the mail on to the final destination. An unintended ability but it works very well all the same. We use it here for pre-filtering Exchange servers for clients. They can even login to qmailadmin and add users. Cheers, Rick
