[vchkpw] pipes in .qmail-files vpopmail 5.3.19

[Jim]

Hi,

I am having a problem where if I pipe an email into any of my programs, and
then pipe to vdelivermail, vdelivermail core dumps.
I have this configuration working flawlessly on two of my other servers.
The only difference I can tell is that the working servers are running
Solaris 2.7 on an UltraSparc III, and the non-working server is running
Solaris 2.8 on a SparcStation-20.

I'm running qmail pretty much from LWQ:
 qmail-1.03
  qmail-maildir++.patch (from vpopmail 5.3.19)
  qmail-tarpit.patch
  qmail-smtpd-auth-0.31 patch
  ext_todo-20030105 (www.nrg4u.com)
 vpopmail 5.3.19
  configured with:




./configure --enable-defaultquota=10485760S --enable-many-domains=n --enable
-logging=v



for example:
unix11 cat /home/vpopmail/domains/broadviewnet.net/.qmail-tester
|/usr/local/bin/spamc | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
/home/vpopmail/domains/broadviewnet.net/tester
unix11 tail -f /var/log/qmail/current 
[2] 3040
unix11 echo somestuff | /usr/lib/sendmail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

and then there is a core file in
/home/vpopmail/domains/broadviewnet.net/tester/Maildir/

It acts the same way if i change the .qmail-tester to:
| /usr/local/bin/perl -e 'while(){print;}' |
/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ''
/home/vpopmail/domains/broadviewnet.net/tester


I created my own delivery agent, which i called mydeliver.pl:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use Sys::Hostname;

$hostname=hostname();
$file=/home/vpopmail/domains/broadviewnet.net/tester/Maildir;
open (P, $file/tmp/$^T.$$.$hostname) || die cannot write: $!\n;
while(){
print P;
}

close P;

rename ($file/tmp/$^T.$$.$hostname, $file/new/$^T.$$.$hostname) || die
cannot rename: $!\n;
## EOF

Not suprising to me at this point, if i make the .qmail-tester:
| /usr/local/bin/spamc | mydeliver.pl

then all works.

Any ideas?  This is semi-reminicent of the non-seekable problem of the
earlier versions, except that I dont see anything here that would have to be
rewound..

 server-key5:/var/vpopmail/bin# ./vadddomain -v
 version: 4.9.10

Rather old one ... But you're lucky: I still had a 4.9.10 on my
harddisk.
I was able to do some testing and have to say: there's a bug in
vuserinfo of 4.9.10. It's corrected at least in 5.2.1 (the earliest
version I was able to check, bigger than 4.9.10).

The good news is: there seem to be a work around possible in 4.9.10:

vuserinfo -D domain1.com [EMAIL PROTECTED]

seems to work. At least it did with /var/qmail/users/cdb file and
vpopmail directories and vpasswd.cdb created with 5.3.XX version here on
my harddisk.

Nevertheless I'd _strongly_ suggest you upgrade to 5.2.1 ASAP, there're
a lot of bugs fixed in this version, present in 4.9.10.

 Hi Justin,

 There are currently ways to limit IMAP.  One thing you
 should remember is that the vlimits API is for full domain
 limits, not individual users.  There are permission bits in the GID
 field in the password entry for the user.  These I believe
 work.  Before actually implementing the API, I sent out a request
 for all the additional items people wanted to see over and above
 what I wanted.  This way the database schema would only have to be
 written once, and filled in later.  Some limit the qmailadmin app,
 others go directly into vdelivermail.  Others will go into other
 areas.

 Overall, I think we have a functional system as is, with placeholders
 for future features.  The wishlist is high, but only so many things
 can make each release.  If you've got the cycles and can crank out
 some of it tonight, send in a patch.


Hm, i tried to explain by mentioning disable_imap as an example. disable_pop, 
disable_smtp, disable_webmail ... things like that should be cared for in 
vchkpw. furthermore, vadduser doesn't care for maxpopaccounts, valias ignores 
maxaliases... I guess it's ok, the way it is now. And: I love it the way it 
is for a 5.3.20.
But: not for 5.4.0. The next stable release shouldn't have placeholders for a 
very nice system and get some of the features added for every update release. 
Instead it should have a working system with fully implemented vlimits. But 
this is just my opinion, and since I've always used the vpopmail-dev 
versions, the whole 5.4.0 release isn't bothering me that much :)

Hi Ken,

I've a patch at  http://romana.now.ie/#vadddomain-maildir  which
slighly modifies the -e flag to vadddomain.

I wanted a way to specify a ``catchall'' in the same way as qmailadmin
does: supply a pathname to write directly into the catchall user's
Maildir. Using -e as it is currently -- specifying an email address --
means I don't get access to the original envelope recipient in the
Delivered-To header line.

Applying the patch does not change vaddomain's behaviour when one
specifies an email address with -e. But if one specifies a value without
an @ symbol it is taken as a user into whose Maildir catchall mail
should be delivered (as qmailadmin does).

With the patch, I can say:

  vadddomain -e postmaster maildir.org

And get:

  fridge# cat maildir.org/.qmail-default 
  | /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' 
/usr/local/vpopmail/domains/maildir.org/postmaster

Re: [vchkpw] Postgres support?

[Ken Jones]

There already is a working postgres module in vpopmail.
Looks like it's not built into the configure script.

Look for vpgsql* files.

  I had done some finishing work with the code that Nels wrote and am

 April

  of
  2002.  Since then there has been little interest from the vpopmail
  community
  for postgresql support and the vpopmail development team.
 
  From the looks of it, postgresql support will not be making it into
  vpopmail
  unless someone makes patches for every release.
 
  I still have the code and would like to see it integrated into

 vpopmail.

  I
  don't know much about autoconf and haven't had the time to learn or

 I'd do

  that part myself.  I think that's about all that needs to be done.

 Once

  autoconf knows about postgresql, the make file should be generated
  properly
  and we'd have postgresql support.

Re: [vchkpw] vlimits patch [1/??]

[Brian Kolaci]

This is very good, however you may want to move this
out of vmysql.c and put it directly in vpopmail.c
for the add_user routine.

vlimits isn't only for mysql.  It also uses the
.qmailadmin-limits file for non-mysql implementations.
So the structure  function vget_limits() is valid
with or without mysql.

Thanks,

Brian

i think this should stay in the vauth_getpw function (which is in vauth.c).
this way, when you later decide to  disable_imap=1 you won't have to change it

Re: [vchkpw] vlimits patch [1/??]

[Brian Kolaci]

Ahh, I think we had different thoughts on that.
When I originally sent out the request for comments
for the vlimits, I thought the disable_ routines
were to be the defaults for new users.  This was the
original intent from the responses I got.  This way you
would be able to shut off certain services for users
and you can make an exception for one or two users
by using vmoduser and only enabling some of the
permissions for some of the users.

i.e. allow postmaster IMAP access, but no other users
in the domain.

I guess it could work both ways, however there's no
easy way to set a default for new users (which is what
the original intent was).

Anyone have any comments on this?

Do you think we need both domain permissions and
default new user permissions for each type of permission?
(This is the case for quotas, a domain limit and a default
for new users).

I like the idea of having both (which just generates more
work...).  But we didn't take that into account with the
original design.

I would say that we should do what you were intending
by using the current values as domain permissions, and
add a field for default_user_permissions that would
populate the gid field of the user password entry.
What I would also do is encapsulate the code you
wrote into a function (you don't need the #ifdefs)
and have it return the mask which can be AND'd with
the gid field of the password entry.  This masking
function could go into vlimits.c and called in the
vauth_getpw() functions.

What do you think?

Brian

[vchkpw] Authentication problems

[Neil Harrison]

Title: Message




Hello,

I am experiencing a 
strange problem and I have been told that it may be a known bug with 
vpopmail. The environment is Qmail + Vpopmail + Courier-Imap + 
SquirrelMail.Everything appears to be working fine (I can log in 
through Outlook client and SquirrelMail) until I switch to a new user (on the 
same box). Once I do this, the original user can't log in anymore. I 
get an error that the user ID or password is incorrect. The new user is 
fine until I try a third user. Again the same thing and now neither of the 
first two users can log in anymore. If I reboot the server then everything

again.

I have checked all 
the logs and there is no indication of what is going on. There are a bunch 
of entries for successful LOGIN and LOGOUT and then all of a sudden a bunch of 
failures. I am wondering if maybe my server is locking a user to a PC IP 
address for some strange reason.

I have tried 
checking the logs, restarting imap, restarting qmail and checking for strange 
entries in the config files. I'm stumped on this one. I've also 
duplicated this problem just by using the outlook clients and just by using the 
squirrelmail client so I don't think the problem rests with either of those 
two. I've also asked this question on the courier-imap list and they 
indicated it was a known vpopmail bug.

Any ideas or 
suggestions? Is this a know bug and is there a 
resolution?

Thanks in

Hi Neil,

I am running in to something similar and I think 
there may be a lock somewhere on the account. When my Outlook checks the 
account it works fine.. but when I try to login through SquirrelMail it gives me 
an invalid username or password. If I disable the account in my outlook 
and wait awhile then I am able to login to SquirrelMail without an issue. 
I am not sure what this is .. but for the most part it does not affect me as I 
am using squirrelmail for all the people that use my mail server that don't want 
to use a Mail client to check their email.

Regards,
Rob G

  Hello,
  
  I am experiencing 
  a strange problem and I have been told that it may be a known bug with 
  vpopmail. The environment is Qmail + Vpopmail + Courier-Imap + 
  SquirrelMail.Everything appears to be working fine (I can log in 
  through Outlook client and SquirrelMail) until I switch to a new user (on the 
  same box). Once I do this, the original user can't log in anymore. 
  I get an error that the user ID or password is incorrect. The new user 
  is fine until I try a third user. Again the same thing and now neither 
  of the first two users can log in anymore. If I reboot the server then 
  everything returns to normal until I try to use more than one user 
  again.
  
  I have checked all 
  the logs and there is no indication of what is going on. There are a

[vchkpw] Courier imap and vpopmail

[Jamie Jensen]

Title: Courier imap and vpopmail






Hello,


I recently installed courier imap to complement qmail for the use of

squirrel mail. the setup is qmail (and it's requirements) vpopmail

(using mysql for the database auth), courier imap and vpopmail.


The problem i am experiencing is that one domain (currently 2 on the

server) will have the .Drafts, .Sent, .Trash folders along with the

courierimapsubscribed and courierimapuiddb files created when logging

in using IMAP. The other domain does not get this treatement.


I can log in a few times to the user on the domain that the imap

folders are not created, but this is eventually prevented. Deleting

the user and recreating does not help, the folders are never created. 

Login to all but one account (not the postmaster) is the eventual

result (via IMAP). Restarting imapd does then allow access, but the

process is eventually repeated (10-60 minutes)


I have read the FAQ, I have read the archives of both this list,

google groups search and the archives on sourceforge (a pain since

their search engine is busted (or I don't know how to use it)) so

please do not refer me to those venues.


If you need additional information such as config parameters or the

like, please let me know what you would like.


Thank you,

Jamie Jensen

Perhaps compare your setup against my 
vpopmail / mysql / courier-imap / squirrelmail guide at
http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htm

In particular note that you need to configure courier-imap with these
particular options for reliable operation with vpopmail :

  --without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw

 I'm about to release a new 5.3.20 devel version.
 
 Does anyone have any patches they  would like to submit?

No, but would it be difficult to move mysql options from vmysql.h to configure 
options, e.g.

./configure \
 --with-mysql-update-server=servername \
 --with-mysql-update-user=username \
 --with-mysql-update-password=password \
 --with-mysql-read-server=servername \
 --with-mysql-read-user=username \
 --with-mysql-read-password=password

The --with-mysql-read-* options could be optional, i.e. use the update
server values if the read server is not present.

I'd really like to see this.

Cheers,

R.

Re: [vchkpw] Postgres support?

[Andrew Kohlsmith]

 Yup, since I wrote that email (Jan 14th) Andrew Kohlsmith made some
 changes that made it into 5.3.17.  He mentioned that there was some work
 that still needed to be done on it.

Yup.  I have backed down on that because we were running into some strange 
little probelms I didn't have time to get working so we're using vpasswd 
again but I hope to get these problems cleared up quickly.  Obviously it 
won't make it into the 5.4.0 or whatever is ocming up but perhaps the one 
after.

RE: [vchkpw] Courier-imap not setting open-relay in vpopmail/qmail

[Wil Hatfield - HVHM Customer Care]

List,

Is there a problem using the Qmail pop3d and not using the pop3 that comes
with Courier IMAP? I seem to be having no problems with it but if there is
some sort of problem I would like to know. The open relay seems to get
updated just like it did back when I used just Qmail/Vpopmail with .cdb
files.

Your insight is appreciated.

[vchkpw] quota exceeded

[dWi saSonO b]

i read some code in vpopmain and qmail buat it to difficult for vdeliveries to force 
qmail to pending an email for some lifetime under qmail.
other way i can think of is to make vdeliveries to send email to thrash.
but not all web based enable auto purge, sqwebmail with using 0 values, it make 
disable the feature
but if i send to thrash ... pop3 access can get his new mail.
perhaps i should stick with find return code from qmail after all.

 Thanks for the reply, however it begs a follow up question. If I put full
 headers in the file, does vpopmail write the quota message directly into the
 users maildir, or does it use qmail-inject to run the message through the
 normal local delivery path?
 Thanks,
 Nick
 

the easiest way i see that from code is using .quotawarn.msg 

   /* Look in the domain for a .quotawarn.msg */
sprintf(quotawarnmsg, %s/.quotawarn.msg, TheDomainDir);
if ( ((fdin=open(quotawarnmsg, O_RDONLY))  0) ||
   (stat(quotawarnmsg, sb)0)) {

/* if that fails look in vpopmail dir */
sprintf(quotawarnmsg, %s/domains/.quotawarn.msg, VPOPMAILDIR);
if ( ((fdin=open(quotawarnmsg, O_RDONLY))  0) ||
  (stat(quotawarnmsg, sb)0)) {
return(0);

changing all fopen .quotawarn.msg to user side and give user each own quotawarn msg 
with his to: header

the other way is full debug on source to get user address and make some parse message 
to user

[vchkpw] Store and forward using .qmail

[Iain]

hi,

Sorry for the cross posting but this is actually relevant to both lists.

Firstly i am using the attached maildrop filter to filter spam using the 
following in my .qmail-default for each domain:

| preline /usr/bin/maildrop /etc/spamassassin/mailfilter

I have used qmailadmin to setup forwarding for a number of accounts and also 
keep a copy of the email. Qmailadmin does this by creating a .qmail file in 
the user's Maildir, not in the domain directory. e.g.:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
/home/vpopmail/domains/test.domain.au/forwardtest/Maildir/

Now it seems that with the above .qmail-default file the .qmail file in the 
user's directory is not processed. It seems that the way to get around this 
is to move the .qmail file into the domain directory. I don't suppose anyone 
has written a patch for qmailadmin to achieve this?

Can any one see another way around this problem?

vpopmail 5.3.18
qmailadmin 1.0.12

cheers, Iain.

[vchkpw] Courier-imap not setting open-relay in vpopmail/qmail

[David Hubbard]

Hello Courier users,
just wondering if anyone could point
me in the right direction for what to look
at.  I am building a new mail server with
qmail/vpopmail and courier-imap/pop3.  I
set courier for authvchkpw auth type and
it works successfully for imap and pop3
logins.  vpopmail never sets the open-relay
for the host doing the Courier login.  It
does set it correctly if I use qmail's pop3
server and vchkpw to authorize the connection.

Is this a courier or vpopmail issue?  I'm
running the latest courier-imap devel
version courier-imap-1.7.1.20030319 and vpopmail
5.3.19.

Thanks,

David

Charles Boening wrote the code to get postgres support using configure
and posted it to http://www.cot.net/~charlieb/vpopmail/ but I haven't
seen mention of it making it into a development release yet.

I will be upgrading my mail servers again in a month or two, and will
move to postgres, so I might do a little hacking to it as well.
