[vchkpw] HELO configuration ? ? ?
Hello all, it has been a while since I have been on the list, here is my question. I have tried to search the web but alas it is probably my wording so here goes. I just setup a new mail server to replace my old one of 7 years :) Old config, qmail + vpopmail + qmailadmin New config, qmail + vpopmail + mysql + qmailadmin + courier-imap I have setup the qmail first with domain1, then using vpopmail added the other domains, domain2, domain3 etc. The server can receive mail for all the domains just fine but what I'm looking at is that when a HELO is sent say for domain2, the server replies with the HELO for for the domain1. How do I get qmail/vpopmail to issue the HELO for each domain and not the primary domain name? I hope I have explained this ok. Trell
Re: [vchkpw] HELO configuration ? ? ?
Well its not a problem to say, just was wondering is all, I thought it might be a virtual setting that would be set somewhere is all. That seems obvious now about the fqdn for the server though. The way I was thinking of it was that when the sending mail server initiates the HELO it would be looking for the mail.trells.com for say and if the mail server is say setup for like mail.whatever.com it would see that it is looking for mail.trells.com and respond with a HELO for mail.trells.com and not the mail.whatever.com. There is so much more I got to learn about mail :) Thanks for the info.

How do I get qmail/vpopmail to issue the HELO for each domain and not the primary domain name? this is a qmail question, not vpopmail.. so it should go on the qmail list. .. however: you can't. the qmail server has *NO* idea what domain the client is trying to send to when the client issues HELO/EHLO, therefore, it cannot respond accordingly. Also, what happens if one client is sending to two domains on your server? What should it respond to HELO/EHLO with? the helo/ehlo response should be the FQDN of your mail server. For instanc e, if you connect to mine, you'll see that it responds with tranquility.scriptkitchen.com, which is the FQDN of my mail server. Connec t to my fileserver and you'll get edge.scriptkitchen.com (just ignore the postfix banner! :P) What Problem Are You Trying To Solve?

[vchkpw] Problem with email bouncing
Hey guys this is weird and I hope you can help me really quick. I have 5 different domains each with there own qmail/vpopmail/ instances. I set each up exactly the same, installed qmail with its own uid/gid and each has there own home directories. Example trells.com was installed in /var/qmail and then vpopmail in /opt/ vpopmail/5.3.27 Then for each different domain there in a seperate directory structure such as /opt/domains/bazalar/qmail and /opt/ domains/bazalar/vpopmail/5.3.27 and so forth. Trells.com works just fine however the bazalar.com and others are giving me an error like Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host, it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. To my knowledge vpopmail removes the locals entry and places everything in the virtualdomains file. Please help this is getting annoying. Thanks, Trell
RE: [vchkpw] Spam controll ?!
Have you looked in to a challenge response type. That's what I'm using take a look at http://tmda.net, they even have a cgi front-end. Works pretty good IMHO. Yea I will get 1 or 2 messages a week but there from a real person. I have been using it now for about 6 months and on average it is blocking about 50 messages a day :) Trell -Original Message- From: X-Istence [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2003 12:41 PM Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Spam controll ?! knom wrote: Hi! I'm getting abount 70 spam-mails just in my own Mailbox! Does anyone know an effective method of filtering out Spammails with a mailsystem qmail/vpopmail ?? I tried Spamassassin, but it doesn't sort out any spam-mails... Please help me !! Thanks, Maximilian. Well you could try configuring Spammassassin so that it does what you want it to do. You can get it to label it as spam, move it some place else on the hard drive, and a lot of other cool things. Just look for what fits you best. X
[vchkpw] Help with a migration
Hello, I'm attempting to migrate 6 domains from 1 server to a new one. The new server is not being setup with the same directory structure as the old one as all the domains will have there own instances of everything. The problem I'm having is that I need to maintain there user names and passwords. However the vpasswd and vpasswd.cdb have it set to the old directory. How can I modify the vpasswd to show the new directory and then rebuild the .cdb file? Thanks, Trell
RE: [vchkpw] qmail/vpopmail cannot auth pop3 clients. No logging.

Well Matt from looking at this and the fact that I also run Redhat 7.3 I see one thing wrong. Your default /etc/services file has your pop-3 as pop3. There are several ways to fix this, 1) either modify the /etc/services [bad idea], 2) Modify your run script to say pop3 [good choice], or 3) modify your run script to say 110 instead of pop-3 [best choice, unless you use a different port number]. Hope that helps some. Joe
Re: [vchkpw] Auth failing on HP-UX
It would help if you would start with the basic stuff. 1) Post a copy of your supervise/run files 2) Post a copy of your supervise/log/run files also This is where you should be getting some error logs also. 3) If your using vpopmail, have you tried using different logins? i.e. user1 and [EMAIL PROTECTED] as different logins even though there the same account, sometimes this will have an affect due to the way you compiled, setting default domain or not. 4) Make sure your using the vpasswd and not the qmail password file. There are a couple of things that would help narrow this down. I work at hp and have set this up so I can help but need to know your basics first. I'm on vacation now and will be checking email on a daily basis Joe After much searching, I cannot find any logging for vpopmail. The syslog file has nothing from vpopmail in it. I did read a note on the inter7 website that says logging only works with the MySql option. So I am stuck again. I have no idea why vchkpw is failing to authorise my users, and I'm not at all sure how to track the problem down. Any further help appreciated.

I have done a number of installations before on Linux and it has always worked first time. However, I am now installing on HP-UX and am having problems. I tried to test pop3 using telnet localhost 110. I get the correct prompts but I always get an ERR Authorisation Failed, and I'm sure my user/pass combination is correct. I'm really stuck, what is the best way to debug this, or does anybody have a bright idea?? Try compiling with --enable-logging=v and then check your mail logs.
