[vchkpw] qmail-ext doesn't work
Hi list, I am wondering if there is anything wrong with my setting. I use netqmail-1.0.5, chkuser-2.0.8b, netqmail-1.05-tls-smtpauth-20060105.patch and vpopmail-5.4.12 with MySQL 4.0.24-10sarge auth backend in Debian Sarge 3.1r3 AMD64. I compiled vpopmail with: ./configure --enable-roaming-users --enable-logging=p --disable-ip-alias-domains --disable-passwd --disable-clear-passwd --disable-domain-quotas --enable-auth-module=mysql --disable-many-domains --enable-auth-logging --enable-sql-logging --enable-valias --disable-mysql-limits --enable-libdir=/usr/include/mysql --enable-qmail-ext=y I unremark these settings in my chkuser_settings.h: #define CHKUSER_ENABLE_ALIAS_DEFAULT #define CHKUSER_ENABLE_USERS_EXTENSIONS and recompile netqmail. I make extension address for (example) user dave in ~vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/dave/.qmail-try, just to try my ext address work: | forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] and change the file owner to vpopmail:vchkpw. But when I try to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it doesn't work like I hope. It doesn't forward the email to me (not read .qmail-extaddr?), but still deliver to dave (still read .qmail-default?). Any ideas?

[vchkpw] Re: Tranferring vpopmail/domains to another server
Hi Thanks for your reply. I found the error: I had to change /var/qmail/assign paths from /home to /var - I had to do the same for all pat's in /var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/vpasswd Then I could log in after deleting the vpasswd.cdb file. I guess you have no script witch would do that automatically?

Zeno, This is not a flame, but before you post this to the list, stop and think about what is actually happening. I am trying my best. First, you switched to the 'vpopmail' user, which is what you were supposed to do. Yes correct. Next you ran the ezmlm-make command with several arguments that start with ~/ . You seem to know what ~/ implies, so think about this a little and expand it. ~/list is a shortcut for /home/vpopmail/list (assuming your vpopmail home directory is /home/vpopmail). Also, ~/.qmail-list becomes /home/vpopmail/.qmail-list , correct? Yes. Got that. So, you can see that this list is really setup like the following: ezmlm-make [options] /home/vpopmail/list \ /home/vpopmail/.qmail-list \ info-list \ yweseelocal.com Yes they are clearer now. My list is actually up an running. Thanks for your kind help. Zeno

It defaults to allow (which would be a single :allow line). Setting RELAYCLIENT for an IP tells qmail-smtpd to allow it to relay mail. Ok. Got that. Normally, this file contains all IP's on your network, assuming you want them to relay through qmail. The following is an example. RBLSMTPD is only needed if you are using rblsmtpd. Leaving it blank tells rblsmtpd to not perform lookups against that address (you don't want it looking up your own addresses): 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,RBLSMTPD= 192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT=,RBLSMTPD= Well obviously I forgot the '127.:...' entry. Now it works fine locally. I will jut go an try online now. My run file is (I just changed the path of the vpopmail-home): If your domains directory is on /var, then make sure you have enough space for all the mail. Yes I will do so. #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` As a tip, you can get rid of QMAILDUID and NOFILESGID by adding -U to the tcpserver command line and using envuidgid qmaild as the first thing after exec. What will this help me? exec softlimit -m 200 \ tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /var/lib/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c $MAXSMTPD \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp qmail-smtpd 21 When I try to send a message I get the 5.7.1 error. I read all the documentation for Newbies on relaying from Chris. Does your tcp.smtp file set RELAYCLIENT for the IP that you are sending from? Yes, I got '127.: ...' and '192.168.0.:... ' as an entry. Now on my online setup I got the following problem: In my office I am sitting behind a firewall. I got a t1 connection but I do _not_have_a fix IP. I am obviously sending mails only from the domains listed in rcpthosts but somehow I still get the 5.7.1 error! Argh. vpopmail will create vpopmail/etc/open-smtp that it merges with tcp.smtp when building tcp.smtp.cdb. It does this automatically for any IP that successfully authenticates via POP3 (or anything using vchkpw, such as Courier IMAP). tcp.smtp.cdb is automatically rebuilt when this happens. You need to make sure vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp is being run from cron every 30-60 minutes, otherwise these IP's will never expire. Do I have to check this or has this already been done automatically? Thanks for your kind help. Zeno

Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail Debian
Hi Pit Thanks for helping - sorry for the cc.

So you also suggest not using the binaries from the Debian packages for my Mail-setup? Zeno
[vchkpw] Vpopmail Debian

Did you compile them yourself as well or did you do apt-get (qmail, etc.)? vpopmail does not depend in a special (debian build) qmail-version and it does not require you having e.g. tcpserver installed as Debian package. You could easily compile them by yourself or use # Smarden.org provides several DJB pakets like qmail deb http://smarden.org/pape/Debian sarge unofficial pape deb-src http://smarden.org/pape/Debian sarge unofficial pape # /Smarden.org in your '/etc/apt/sources.list' Replace 'sarge' with 'woody' to get the woody packages only, but currently 'sarge' and 'woody' qmail package are identically (AFAICS). Gerrit Pape (owner of 'smarden.org' and maintainer of these unofficial packages) offers qmail (which requires qmail-run and qmail-uids-guids), daemontools (svc stuff) and uscpi-tcp Means: everything you need below vpopmail to run it. Doing a 'apt-get install freecdb' will additionally allow you to dump .cdb files (for debugging and reference purposes), but this package is available through normal debian distribution. Thanks for the kind help. I got all this done already execpt freecdb. Will get that as soon as my vpopmail works. Zeno
