Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail Authentication Problem
About [EMAIL PROTECTED] (the user that works in qmailadmin on my test box), I cannot log in using telnet localhost 110 with that account either. I followed your commands to setuid for that program and issued qmailctl stop, qmailctl start and tried again. Still the same auth errors. Here are the versions I'm using: Fedora Core 5 (2.6.16-1.2080_FC5smp, 32-bit i686) netqmail-1.05 (qmail-1.03) ezmlm-0.53 vpopmail-5.4.13 qmailadmin-1.2.9 I'm also running bincimap and squirrelmail but that's not really related to these problems. Any help is appreciated!

Then, it's not using authentication. When I tried to remove LAN from /etc/tcp.smtp, to test real authentication the first message error was: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) 553 no valid cert for gatewaying (#5.7.1) Then, I followed the link http://www.differentpla.net/node/view/170 where it's said to change the supervise/qmail-smtpd/run into user/group ID from QMail to VPopmail. After do this, the message error changed to the traditional: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) the error about gatewaying didn't occur more. What's the problem? Is it needed to execute the "run" script with VPopmail users/group? What about the first problem about gatewaying?

[vchkpw] vpopmail authentication
I have two domains on my qmail server, 1. my default domain - xyz.com 2. my virtual domain - lily.com ( with a vuser called lil) Using my outlook express, i send a mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] When i send the mail, i can see the mail in my ~/vpopmail/domains/lily.com/lil/Maildir/new directory, that means it was delivered. But i cannot download the mail with my mail client, as it keeps asking me to re-enter my password. I believe this is an authentication. I am using msql support, that means mysql is supposed to authenticate my virtual users. Is there something i should do outside the procedure the install manual has - and which i have followed? Jas.
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail authentication failed
If I remember correctly, I had to compile --without-authdaemon, and set config files to use authvchkpw exclusively. I was getting intermittent auth failures just like you describe. This solved my problem. This is a bug in a certain version of vpopmail if I remember correctly. I do not recall where I found this solution, but I would give it a try. Also, the onlyother trouble I had with vpopmail (though not related to anything intermittent) was file permission. If you read the man pages for qmail binaries, a lot of them will not work without proper file permissions.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail Authentication Logging Information
Hi, I am using FreeBSD 4.7 + Qmail + Vpopmail 5.2.1 with mysql logging and authentication logging enabled. I checked the mysql table "lastauth" and found that the timestamps were not logged correctly, for example: 2000-10-58 08:26:04 2000-10-57 50:47:25 2000-10-57 74:08:59 These should be logged in year 2003 July but the date and time were strange. I also use vqadmin to check these logged times and it also showed incorrect timestamp. What's happen? Thank you very much Martin

Hi, I knew that something existed, but didn't know where. Anyway this is not anything like vcheck.

[vchkpw] vpopmail authentication and Apache
Hi, If anyone is interested. I made a quick hack to make Apache authenticate against vpopmail's default domain. It requires mod_auth_external. http://anders.brander.dk/files/vcheck-0.1.tar.gz Comments welcome... -- Anders Brander - http://anders.brander.dk/
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail authentication error
Hi
Vpopmail uses vchkpw file for authentication and u the service pop3 uses
/etc/passwd file.
So disable the pop3 service and smtp services from setup and edit the
file /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run
so as it look like..
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 400 \
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup
\
erdcinoida.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d
Maildir
I am sure it will work definitely.
Let me know..

vpopmail authentication problem
I installed vpopmail 4.9.10 to authenticate my virtual domains for qmail. It works properly right after I create a new domain and users. The users can pop off the mail from the server. After a few minutes, it does not authenticate correctly. I have tried to telnet to the pop port, and receive authorization failed when I type in the correct user@domain/password. Also I tried to delete the domain, and it says it doesn't exist. Any ideas what is going on? Jay

vpopmail authentication under courier-imap.
List, I am using vpopmail and courier-imap under qmail. My webmail - squirrelmail - is having problems during authentication if I enter a wrong password. After some researching I figured out that courier-imap is just closing the connection without the expected NO answer. After talking to Mr. Sam he suggested me to ask here in this list for help as I use only vpopmail authentication under courier-imap. Versions: courier-imap: 1.3.8.1 vpopmail: 4.9.10 qmail: 1.03 Thanks in advance for your attention, Rodrigo Severo

Some qmail installation packages include a crontab entry that will regenerate your /var/qmail/users/assign file. Wiping out anything that was there before. If you /var/qmail/users/assign file loses it's vpopmail information, then vpopmail authentication will fail. Ken Jones

Read the FAQ and INSTALL files. you need to set your pop user name to be user@domain If that doesn't work, then you have some other configuration problem. Ken

RE: Vpopmail authentication
vchkpw doesn't run, it just runs to authenticate a user and then exits. Try getting on the box you're using this on and 'telnet hostname.domain.com 110' so you telnet to the POP3 port. If it is working you should see something like this: mail:~# telnet domain.com 110 Trying 1.2.3.4... Connected to domain.com. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> If you get that far, issue: user postmaster%domain.com It should say +OK Finally, try "pass password" It will say +OK or give an error. Once the error happens check your logs. If you don't have anything in the logs, then your init script for the pop3 daemon is probably incorrect.

Yes, I've tried that but I think that the problem must be in vchkpw because it doesn't appears to be running. If I execute it it doesn't stays running, it closes :-?

Vpopmail authentication
Hi there, I want to configure my client (Outlook Express under M$) to connect to a mailbox under a virtual domain. I have created the domain e.g. vdom.com and I have created a user (named info). But I can't make a connection at all, I always get a "-ERR authorization failed".

My virtual users can receive e-mails but can't download it using pop3 nor sqwebmail. Thanks.
