[vchkpw] qmail + smtp-auth + chkuser + vpopmail = messed up pipes?
Hi folks, after rather long but then successul compile marathon I finally habe everything in place...but... - inbound mail without SMTP auth works fine - outbound mail with auth leads basically to some messed up pipes or file descriptors whatever, look at this: ehlo () 250-www.happyserverfriends.info 250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN CRAM-MD5 PLAIN 250-PIPELINING 250 8BITMIME AUTH PLAIN (xx) 235 ok, go ahead (#2.0.0) mail from: (x) CHKUSER accepted sender: from gmx.at:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: remote test.at:unknown:127.0.0.1 rcpt : sender accepted 250 ok after the mail from the log line form chkuser does not appear in the log file, instead it appears at the client?s side! therefore all clients choke and won?t send any mail... this prevents me to use smtp auth at the moment - plz help, as a handful of users is waiting desperately for outgoing mails, thx! kind regards, F.

Check the qmail-smtpd/run file to make sure you're passing the proper parameters to qmail-smtpd. Older patches required a hostname between qmail-smtpd and the path to vchkpw. If you're using the current patch (contrib/qmail-smtpd-auth-0.4.2.tar.gz, from http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/smtpauth.html) then you shouldn't have the hostname. One way to tell if you've set up qmail-smtpd/run correctly is to try authenticating with a random username and password.

[vchkpw] SMTP Auth and vpopmail-5.3.X
Hi, I just checked the most recent (available) vopopmail-5.3.27. Here, you inclued CRAM-MD5 support from Krzysztof Dabrowski. This implementation is broken; it does not confirm with Dan Bernstein's checkpassword API. Dan requires: user0password0 or - in case of C/R - user0response0challenge0. Krzysztof Dabrowski has implemented: user0challenge0response. This badly breaks the checkpassword interface. Don't promote that. More infos: http://www.fehcom.de/qmail/spamcontrol/README_spamcontrol.html I will provide a patch soon. regards. --eh.

RE: SMTP-AUTH with vpopmail
Hmmm... I'm trying to run the patch from Krzysztof Dabrowski, along with his MD5 password utility. Are you guys both running Mrs. Brisby's patch? Most importantly for me, is anyone successfully using CRAM-MD5 SMTP-AUTH with vpopmail? Eudora doesn't do LOGIN or PLAIN I'll start using Lookout when M$ starts designing for simplicity security.

I've been running the new qmail-smtpd as user vpopmail. All of my domains are virtual, I don't like the idea of shell passwords being sent in the clear.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted an updated patch to let smtp-auth use vpopmail 4.8.6 for authentication. The original instructions are still at http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/faq.html . I'm trying to make the http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/ code work with vpopmail and netscape 4.72. But no luck so far. As Kevin Bucknum pointed out, make sure that you uncomment the SMTPAUTH_NETSCAPE_WORKAROUND define in qmail-smtpd.c. - cls I got it working. If I run qmail-smtpd as the vpopmail user, then there is no need for the patch to vchkpw.c I'm wondering how much overhead it takes to go the getuid function call in vchkpw. If it doesn't take much, we might as well add the check to the distribution. Ken
