 So I have come clients, that need to use me as an SMTP server.  
 Problem is, they are on DHCP, so I can't easily add them to the

 a username/password to relay.  can this be done? or is it all all or

 Also, if I enable relay via  username/password, what entries do I put 
 in for teh smtpaccess list?

 makehosteddomains is a script, not a binary executable.  setuserid bit has 
 no effect on scripts. 
 

Hmmm... sometimes if a script starts with #!/bin/sh -p
one can get much of the effect the setuid bit should do.

However, I wouldn't recommend using setuid scripts to set
permissions, because a wrapper script is more secure and
more maintainable.

 Whoa, easy there. I suspect the assumption made here was that the user 
 doesn't know _how_ to upgrade. I don't run Redhat, but those looked like 
 pretty basic dependency problems--the kind of stuff you should be able
 to upgrade via RPM. By the looks of things, the person who asked the 
 question isn't fluent in the language of RPM, or else he/she would have
 resolved these dependencies and moved on. I suppose a busy Courier 
 developer is faced with two choices in cases like this: 
 
 1. Start explaining how to get stuff via RPM, where to find the packages, 
how to resolve further dependency problems when the packages that need 
to be upgraded in turn require _other_ packages to be upgraded, and 
how to fix the system when one of those upgrades installs a library 
or executable that ends up breaking 75% of the system... 
 
 OR 
 
 2. Tell the person to grab the latest (free) Redhat CD, and reinstall
the OS. 
 
Actually, doesn't RedHat have the up2date program that connects to the 
redhat server and automatically downloads the latest versions of all 
installed packages (except the kernel updates, which are rather trickier to 
install). 

True, you have to register with them, and can only have one of your boxes 
active for updates at a time (unless you pay a sub), but you can change the 
active box as often as you like, even several times a day, 

It even emails you when it thinks you need an update (to fix a security 
hole, for example) - though obviously only for the active box...

[courier-users] disable case-sensitive email addresses

2002-01-02 Thread Ken Nagorski

Hi there, 

I searched google and found this.

You can disable case sensitivity on *incoming* messages. Search for 
locallowercase in INSTALL. Ensure you understand the implications.

However I don't see anything to do with lowercase in the INSTALL file.

Is there some information about this elsewhere?

Thanks
Ken

[courier-users] File size limit exceeded

2002-01-02 Thread Johan Björk

Hello..!

You might know about this little bug already but I couldn't find any prior report 
about it, so:

This GDB was configured as i386-redhat-linux.
Core was generated by `/usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin/imaplogin 
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/auth'.
Program terminated with signal 25, File size limit exceeded.
#0  0x400efc74 in ?? ()


Yes, that's right folks. Courier-imap segfaults if the error log (-stderr) exceeds the 
maximum file size limit.

On systems with a proper log rotation setup this problem won't occur but that doesn't 
matter, I reccon courier-imap should be able to handle a simple thing like this.

SASL?  Do I need to open any other ports on the firewall, and will it

[courier-users] Email reply on reception

2002-01-02 Thread Jeff Skalny


Hi all, I have an email question not specifically related to courier but I
thought of this list first. We maintain email lists for clients and send out
monthly newletters or whatever to their subscribers. We use coldfusion
server 5.0 running on linux to handle most of this. What we are trying do is
have the destination server automatically send a rply on getting the message
and also have a reply sent when the message is opened. Ideally, it would be
nice to have the to replies go to different email addresses on our end. I
know that outlook and other such clients let you tag a message to do this,
is there a tag that needs to be inserted into the message to allow this? or
is it client specific?

Thanks for any help,
Jeff
dBDirect Inc.

Extra credit question:
Occasionally when we send out a mailing, (generally around 600-1000
messages) the coldfusion server tries to send the messages, but fails with a
message about the 8bit MIME encoding. I thought this was being caused by
courier strictly following the MIME protocols, but the fix that we have
found to work involves nothing more than restarting coldfusion. We never had
this problem when using our MS Exchange server, but I would rather not use
it. I will be using the allaire forums to officially pursue this issue, but
I thought I'd throw it out there in case another courier user has
encountered this problem.

Thanks again

Pretty much that's it.  Create a .courier-default file in saxon's homedir

It will authenticate over port 25 exactly like over port 110 and 143, but 
with a different syntax, of course.

I don't know what you're doing, but the default Courier-IMAP install sends
all logs to syslog, and doesn't write anything to any log file.

If you modify the default configuration, the ball is in your court to make
sure that everything is working correctly.

[courier-users] Re: IMAP Folders

2002-01-02 Thread Sam Varshavchik

[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: 

 Hi 
 
 When an new IMAP folder is created from an IMAP client connecting to MS
 Exchange, the folder is assigned an email address (just like a public
 folder).  
 
 Does courier have this functionality? 
 
 If it not, does the source code need to be modified or can I add a
 script somewhere that courier will execute when a new folder is created?

You can implement this using an intelligent .courier-default file (all on 
one line): 

|| x=`echo $DEFAULT | tr '/' '.'`; test -d $HOME/Maildir/.$x || exit 0; 
echo $HOME/Maildir/.$x/. ; exit 99 

Haven't really tested this, but it should work.  Haven't also looked at this 
closely, but it should be safe from envelope-based attacks.  A shell script 
is also not a terribly efficient way to go about this, but you can always 
write some tiny executable binary that does the same thing. 

To send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s folder INBOX.foo.bar, the address would 
be [EMAIL PROTECTED], or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
