[vchkpw] newbie help, please
Hello vchkpw users, I have installed vpopmail+qmail it's OK. Default domain in vpopmail - 'is.lg.ua'. In dns I have record 'MX 10 is.lg.ua'. Now I want to have one more domain - 'master.is.lg.ua', so that there will be users - '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and so on. What should I do? Should I use vadddomain or vaddaliasdomain? And should I put one more record in my named.conf(whta this line should be)? Your help is very, very appreciated. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Ruslan mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: [vchkpw] newbie help, please
The difference between an alias domain and a separate domain is that the alias is a mirror of the other. To use your example. If master.is.lg.ua is an alias domain to is.lg.ua then [EMAIL PROTECTED] is also [EMAIL PROTECTED] But maybe you want the two separate. Maybe you want the [EMAIL PROTECTED] to be a totally different and separate address from [EMAIL PROTECTED] In that case, you'd create master.is.lg.ua as a separate domain (with vadddomain). An alias domain is one where all the email addresses are mirrored so to speak. Also, if you want master.is.lg.ua to recieve mail it needs an MX record. Sounds like you're using bind, so going along with that, this is what you might have as a normal MX record inside your zone file for is.lg.ua: (just an example, yours may not look exactly like this) IN MX 10 mail.is.lg.ua. mailIN A 1.2.3.4 What you would add is this: IN MX 10 mail.is.lg.ua. master IN MX 10 mail.is.lg.ua. mail IN A 1.2.3.4 It's really quite simple, all you do is create an MX record for that subdomain. You don't need to change named.conf, but you do need to change the zone file. After you change the zone file, update the serial, and give named a HUP. -Clayton -Original Message- From: Ruslan Spivak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2002 12:36 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] newbie help, please Hello vchkpw users, I have installed vpopmail+qmail it's OK.

[vchkpw] newbie help?
Hello guru's I recently have been tasked with the project of providing a email solution for a project at work. They currently use sendmail with qpopper for some 500 aliases and send/receive a little more than 400,000 messages a month. Now comes the fun part they are about to migrate the North and South Americas mail.support which is currently housed on Exchange (ewww). So in light of this there sendmail/qpopper will quickly get over ran. I have convinced them to allow me to setup qmail as a solution for them, and they have accepted it, woot. Now I have done some reading and implementing on a test box with the following, qmail + qmailadmin + vpopmail + autoresponder + ezmlm (just incase they want mailing list) + clamav + qmailscanner. All works great, and they love it. Now here is my question to you guys, when I create a virtual domain e.g. mailsupport.hp.com (this has the current 500 aliases) and I start adding users via qmailadmin and the vpopmail, I'm have noticed something I hope you guys can help me fix. Say I create a user called lj4050 (laserjet 4050) his email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], and his login is [EMAIL PROTECTED], is there a way to make his login just lj4050 and not have the @domain part?

Re: [vchkpw] newbie help?
Joe, Not that I know of because of the way it authenticates. It takes the @domain part and figures out which password file to use. Then takes the user name and authenticates against it in that file.

Hmm, I removed the original install and recompiled with the following... [root@tc3 vpopmail]# ./configure --prefix=/home/vpopmail --enable- qmaildir=/var/qmail --enable-vpopuser=vpopmail --enable-vpopgroup=vchkpw --enable-md5-passwords=y --enable-clear-passwd=n --enable-default- domain=mailsupport.hp.com However when I try vadddomain mailsupport.hp.com 'test' I get the error Domain already exists, and yet there is nothing in the domains directory, and no password file?

RE: [vchkpw] newbie help?
It's probably still defined in your ~qmaild/control/virtualdomains file. It may be referenced somewhere else as well, like in rcpthosts, etc, but I think that its presence in virtualhosts is what is confusing vpopmail. Did you delete the domain with vdeldomain or just remove its directory? At 03:19 PM 10/25/2002, Joe Oaks wrote: Hmm, I removed the original install and recompiled with the following...

RE: [vchkpw] newbie help?
This may help, I had a similar problem in the past. This is from a Ken Jones post. Edit /var/qmail/users/assign and remove any entries. run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu check /home/vpopmail/domains for a directory of that name. If needed, recursively remove the directory and all it's sub directories. Check /var/qmail/control/* files grep domain /var/qmail/control/* Remove any mention of the domain. Signal qmail-send that the control files have changed. killall -HUP qmail-send The above works on default installations of qmail and linux systems.

RE: [vchkpw] newbie help?
OK, finally, after removing everything and reinstalling all, it works. I guess in my original installs I botched something. I have tested and it works great. Thanks, guys Joe This may help, I had a similar problem in the past. This is from a Ken Jones post.
