RE: [vchkpw] vpopmail 5.4.0 Make error on Solaris 9
I seem to remember having to use gmake to get things going smoothly. I
haven't performed a qmail install on Solaris 9 so I'm afraid that I don't
have any experience in your exact environment. Sol8 on sparc sure caused a
few headaches with an older qmail/vpopmail release, I'm hoping things are
better now.
Good luck and post any solutions you find.
Take Care,

I am currently running gcc-3.3, zlib-1.2.1. I will upgrade my gcc to 3.3.2
and try it again. If that doesn't work do you have any other ideas. It
would be greatly appreciated.
I have the life with qmail book. thanks for the tidbit.

I've run into countless problems compiling stuff on Solaris 8. The first
thing you should do is make sure you are using a recent version of gcc,
not the cc or gcc that came with Solaris. You may have to change
configure to point to your new gcc. Find gcc and other precompiled
binaries at
sunfreeware.com
I also found some tidbits that are Solaris specific on the life with
qmail site.

Re: [vchkpw] tcp.smtp.cdb is updated only once, and only when open-smtp is missing
Ken, Thanks for your suggestions, but sadly, they didn't help. Your recap was dead-on...I verified the path to tcprules in config.h, and re-verified that I can run tcprules as user vpopmail and update the cdb without a problem. So, I'm still in the market for suggestions, as long as they don't involve learning C, which I'm just not going to have time for this week grin, though I'm going to try a couple of simple commenting out type of tests to see if I can pin down the problem a little bit. Tony Ken Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 9/21/2002 at 2:30 AM: So to recap: - open-smtp is correctly being updated with new pop auth IPs? - tcp.smtp.cdb is not being updated. A few things need to fall in line to make that all happen. And it sounds like you've got at least most of them. I would look at the config.h vpopmail file for: The #ifdef of where the tcprules program lives. make sure it is there :) then make sure the user that the vchkpw program runs as (when a user pops) has permission to run it and update the #ifdef location of where the tcp.smtp.cdb file lives. Run the tcprules program just like vchkpw would, on the command line and see what happens. Check if it updates the tcp.smtp.cdb file. If all this is right then i dunno... If all your email accounts are owned by vpopmail then you might as well run the pop3d tcpserver (and logs) as vpopmail.vchkpw. The alternative (worth trying) is have everything run as root.

vadduser seg faulting
Title: vadduser seg faulting I've got an interesting bug. If you try to add a new user, which does not exist in the vpasswd file yet but does have a user directory previously existing, vadduser will seg fault while creating the new vpasswd file. The vpasswd file is then only partially written, and thus corrupt. It doesn't immediately delete the .tmp file used, but if you don't realize it and run vadduser again it will completely remove the vpasswd file and you will have to manually reconstruct it. Perhaps this has already been reported, but I discovered it last week while moving a domain onto my new server :) I haven't had a chance to dig through the code yet and modify it, but wanted to report it just the same.

RE: feature request
There is a better solution. Use sendmail or use /etc/passwd and qmail. I can justify using an IP address per domain because I actually host the websites and mail of the domains that I take care of. That way, I can keep everything with 1 IP address and it works great. I really do not at all like using aliases in the fashion that you are speaking of because then you've got hundreds of domains trying to use a limited resource. I hate having someone say "I want [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and having to tell them "set your mail client to check the pop3 account of sales64". It's terrible. If you compile it in to check based on the reverse of the IP that the request comes in on, you can avoid the sales%domain.com issue you're complaining about.
