[vchkpw] Upgrading from vpopmail 4.9.6 to something modern?

2003-09-16 Thread Chris Shenton
I installed vpopmail-4.9.6 with qmail on an ISP I support over three years ago. Been running great but now, after a crash, POP is reporting the client crashed. I have been unable to diagnose the problem. I've rebuilt the OS (FreeBSD-4.2-RELEASE) and kernel, but no improvement. I could build

I support an ISP remotely, which is running FreeBSD-4.2-RELEASE with vpopmail-4.9.6. I know they're old, but it would be very difficult to upgrade now due to the site's remoteness. The machine was recently rebooted and vpopmail's POP now crashes upon successful authentication (names changed for

Self-follow-up, hopefully useful. I truss the process running the POP tcpserver, then the process it forks when I connect to the POP port. I don't know if the ERR#9 is fatal, and unfortunately can't trace the next forked process 33323 because the child crashes immediately after displaying the

Jason [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: If I'm going to install a couple of mailservers(vpopmail+qmail) and use an NFS server for storage, is the Maildir the only directory that will be shared by the mail servers. I think the tcp.smtp.cdb also needs to be shared. Any others files? How about

"Matt Simerson" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Well, I found the breaking point of vpopmail's open-smtp feature to be about 1500 domains (in an NFS environment). The actual breaking point isn't really related to the amount of domains/users but rather how many and how freqently your clients open

Convert FreeBSD /etc/passwd users to CDB: vconvert fail, passwd, mail?

2001-01-04 Thread Chris Shenton
I have a site which I've just installed vpopmail on -- very very cool. Now of course I want to move all these "system" users in /etc/passwd out of the system and into a default virtual domain. I'll need to * Create vpopmail users for each passwd user * Deal with the actual crypt() passwd *
