This is the other user with the same problem I am experiencing, no solution either. http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg16037.html I looked Friday into the largest domain (most users) and found the following, 4500+ users user hash dir 0-9 used user hash dir A-Z used user hash dir a-z, currently in u I believe this means that I have hashed up to 1 level and I am currently in u. The source code says I should have the ability to hash into 0-9, A-Z, a-z, which gives me 61 levels (not 62, start counting at 0) since the level_endX fields all read 61 this makes since to me. So I believe. I should have the following values for this domain. cur_users = 4555 level_cur = 1 # how deep have I hashed already level_max = 3 # how many levels to hash level_start0 = 0 # where to start hashing level_start1 = 0 level_start2 = 0 level_end0 = 61 # how many total dirs to have per level level_end1 = 61 level_end2 = 61 level_mod0 = ? # no idea what this does, currently reads 0 level_mod1 = ? # currently reads 2 level_mod2 = ? # currently reads 4 level_index0 = 56 # how deep have we hashed within the first level level_index1 = 0 level_index2 = 0 the_dir = u # the dir we are currently adding users to If this jogs anyones memory, that would be great. I am going to plug these numbers in and see what happens. If anyone out there with more than 5000 users in a domain could send me the contents of their dir_control table, it would be very very helpful. Thanks, DAve I believe that the large number in the cur_users field comes about because that field is typically 32bit (ie max value 4294967295) and perhaps if the value is 0 and gets 1 subtracted from it incorrectly during the conversion, you end up with numbers wrapping and being displayed in that range). Or maybe there is a part of the code that mixes signed and unsigned integers resulting in that bug? Michael. We figured that was an error, replaced the value and everything continued properly.
[vchkpw] Compatibility with courier (~vpopmail/domains/vdomain/.qmail-*)
Hi, Courier with authvchkpw almost works. It does not handle roaming users under authdaemon, which is not a real problem since courier implements authentication on smtp with SSL. However it ignores .qmail-* files in ~vpopmail/domains/vdomain/ folder, although it recognizes correctly .qmail-* files in ~vpopmail/domains/vdomain/user/ folder. Is my understanding correct? I used the current latest courier and vpopmail installations. Is there a way to make .qmail-* files in ~vpopmail/domains/vdomain/ work correctly for courier? Courier seems a good all-in-one solution for mta, but it lacks a tool to manage virtual domains in a simple enough way as far as I know. That is what vpopmail + qmailadmin do very well. The problem described above seems to be the only problem with courier + vchkpw. Otherwise courier + vchkpw + vpopmail + qmailadmin would be a perfect solution for me. Are there other better solutions?

We are now creating the users within the proper directory. Hmm, how does vpopmail know when to use a new dir? If my thought on the value of level_indexX is correct, might level_modX tell vpopmail when to create the next dir in line? I will fill that dir u with new users and see if a dir v is created. That should also change level_index0 to 57, I believe. DAve If this jogs anyones memory, that would be great. I am going to plug these numbers in and see what happens.

[vchkpw] Authentication Problem/Login problem
Hi, I have setup qmail with vpopmail+courier-imap and are using a virtual domain. Its named mail.birch.se. Im running it on FreeBSD 5.2.1. I have used this guide to accomplish this: http://www.stevenfettig.com/mythoughts/archives/cat_qmail.php; (Qmail HOWTO 1 thru chapter 3.) I have also read some of the comments and did the change of AUTHMODULES=authvchkpw in /usr/local/etc/courier-imap/authdaemonrc from AUTHMODULES=authdaemon. And my /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains does have this line: mail.birch.se:mail.birch.se Im using thunderbird as my MUA. My user name is kladd Almost everything works fine, I can auth/login via imap-ssl and all. I get the certificate and accept it. However when I look in /var/log/maillog it says: Aug 10 01:50:18 mail imapd-ssl: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[:::192.168.10.201] Aug 10 01:50:18 mail imapd-ssl: LOGOUT, ip=[:::192.168.10.201] (There are more but just the same thing but other date/time stamps) And I can't see/list my mails, And If I send a mail to my self, with the option Place mail in sent folder set. I get an error message saying that it can't do it. I have tried to change the password several times but that does not seem to make any diffrance. I have listed and there are the mail that I have sent to my self in /usr/local/vpopmail/domains/mail.birch.se/kladd/Maildir/new I hope have not forgotten to do something, I can't think of anything that I have forgotten. Perhaps I have missed something but I have also checked the logs in /var/log. I have checked /var/messages and /var/log/qmail/current with tail -f. And there is not more that I can think of that is wrong. Does anybody have a clue on what might be wrong? This has something to do with the auth. I don't know but it might be something to with the open_relay fix/addon in the guide as well. Mvh Mattias Björk
Re: [vchkpw] Authentication Problem/Login problem
Hi, Vlad Soutyrine wrote: I had problems as well, first I made sure that vpopmail itself works fine. Try to change password of a user with vpasswd, for example, to see if you get any error messages. No problem here: mail# ./vpasswd [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: enter password again: mail# vadddomain, vadduser - no errors for troublesome domain? Added a new user: mail# ./vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please enter password for [EMAIL PROTECTED]: enter password again: mail# Added a new virtaldomain: mail# ./vadddomain webmail.birch.se Please enter password for postmaster: enter password again: mail# Also, /var/qmail/users/assign should have a line properly formatted for each domain. This line gets inserted automatically when using vadddomain.
