[vchkpw] virtual users
Is it possible to user vpopmail for managing ONLY virtual users for my domain? I dont want to use virtual domains, all the 50k users will be on the same domain, and I dont want to make them type anything but their username. My intentions is to make a webmail+pop system for 50k users. Thanks in advance, Jw

Re: [vchkpw] virtual users
Thanks for all your help, and since you brought up that webmail subject, I would like to ask your opinion about sqwebmail and other webmails. I'm thinking about using sqwebmail for 3 reasons: As I understand, it reads mail directly from the maildir, so I dont need to install a pop/imap server and access to file should be faster. Plus, i saw that i can customize it and probably have a better integration with vpopmail for my client to manage the accounts. Sorry if i'm talking bs here, i'm about to install qmail/vpopmail/sqwebmail in a few minutes and haven't messed with inter7 tools yet.. :) thanks Jw - Original Message - From: Richard Rawlings :: Pulse8 :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'jean wainer' [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 17, 2003 12:25 PM Subject: RE: [vchkpw] virtual users I didn't mention...that config is for sqwebmail.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail question
If i were to install qmail and vpopmail on a second server and then just copy the entire /home/vpopmail folder to the other machine, would all the email and mailboxes be tranferred to the new machine? thanks -Mike
Re: [vchkpw] virtual users
I used sqwebmail for a few years, always hoping it would mature into a decent package. The technical abilities of sqwebmail are great, but the interface is ugly and difficult for my end-users. I recently bit the bullet, installed an IMAP server and went with SquirrelMail. Happier users, happier sysadmin. Isn't sqwebmail interface customizable? What about squirrelmail? I use it at home, but haven't messed with interface yet. And for being written in PHP, is squirrelmail more lightweight than sqwebmail (which is in perl, right?)? What i'm about to build is a public 50k+ user webmail system, and the interface must be customized. I'd hate to have to write a webmail from scratch =[ Thanks, Jw.
Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail question
As far as vpopmail goes, you would need the cgi-bin directory as well. Also, for both qmail and vpopmail you would have to have the same user and group accounts with the same UID/GIDs on the machine that you are transferring to. Qmail will barf on the queues as soon as you transfer it, but there is a way (I don't remember personally) to regenerate the queues. Other than that, theoretically, it should work.

Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail question
I would start with a fresh queue on the new server and have the old server deliver the queued mail to the new server by changing the controls: remove the entries from control/virtualdomains and populate control/smtproutes with static routes to the new server.

[vchkpw] Multi domain bounce message handling
Hi, I am in the process of testing out a small qmail/vpopmail server, with two domains; domA.com and domB.com. I have set up one of the domains domA.com as the defult, i.e. /etc/qmail/defaultdomain contains domA.com. Booth domains work as intended for normal mail delivery, but if I send mail to e.g. a nonexisting user at either domain, the bounce message is always from domainA.com: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at domA.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. Moreover, the failure notices are allways sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], never to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Is there a way to ensure that bounce messages arrive from the correct domain and that fairure messages reches the correct postmaster? Regards Sigmund.
Re: [vchkpw] 110 locks up qmail+vpopmail
When this happens, try running qmailctl stat and ps aux |more . Look for any qmail services that are not running, or any readproctitle service errors. Also, make sure you do not have any other servers/services running on port 110 (qmailctl stop - then - nmap localhost. If anything comes up on 110, qmail will not be able to bind to that port.) I had something similar to this happening on a system for a while, but it was because the pop service kept dying (because of invalid DNS entries as near as I can tell.)

Don't put vpopmail domains in control/locals. You'll mess things up. There isn't a known solution to what was asked. Doublebounces go to the postmaster of the server. Bounce messages refer to the name of the physical server, and not the domain name. You might be able to modify qmail-send, but it would be very difficult to determine what hostname to use in the bounce message. What if there are multiple recipients that bounced? What if it's a message one of your user's is trying to send to a hotmail address? You don't want it to say that your server is hotmail.com. For debugging purposes, it's best to have the server use it's real name. You can adjust that by editing control/bouncehost and setting it to a single name. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Note: The Tom Logic offices will be closed October 23 to November 18.
