Re: [vchkpw] SMTP AUTH fails if domain dir doesn't exist?
Hi Tom, That person would be me. There was a problem authenticating on a remote mysql backend without the local directory. But my problem was solved when I re-compiled the vpopmail, and set up the 's' flag to others on vchkpw again (using vpopmail 5.3.30).

They were trying to set up a separate box for inbound SMTP, and it would only have the qmail control files and a link to MySQL to authenticate users. I just tried to verify that problem with 5.4.0-rc2, but could not reproduce it. SMTP AUTH worked for a domain without a directory. I'm closing out our open bug report. If the person who originally posted about it can get in touch with me, I'd like them to confirm that it still fails for them. It might be another problem that we should track down. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/ --
[vchkpw] Multiple Independent Pipes
Hello, I am looking for a solution to make multiple independent pipes in qmail with vpopmail. Usually you do independent pipes like this: .qmail-default | /usr/local/bin/a-selfmade-script.pl | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox Now imagine a-self-script.pl breaks and the output is empty. The result will be no delivery. It there a way to treat incoming mail with two pipes independently? One Input - 2 or more outputs. I hope you get my point. Thanks for helping.

RE: [vchkpw] Unable to ch to dir
Title: RE: [vchkpw] Unable to ch to dir I created a .qmail-user file and mail deliver started working. I am getting conflicting information. You say that vpopmail should create .qmail-user files and Jeremy Kitchen says that vpopmail doesn't create .qmail-user files. I just added a user through Qmail Admin and it did not create a .qmail-user file. I tested delivery and it did work. Looks like I have a user who is messed up in the vpopmail config. I was testing forwarding and things like that. I will have to do some research. -Original Message- From: Tom Collins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, January 24, 2004 10:06 AM To: vpopmail list Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Unable to ch to dir On Jan 23, 2004, at 6:18 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To understand the deliver process better I have a few questions. Qmail receives an email for delivery. It finds the domain in the virtualdomains file. It looks in the assigns file and sees that the mail needs to be delivered to the /opt/vpopmail/domains/aurum-email.net (in my case) directory. My assigns file is as so: +aurum-email.net-:aurum-email.net:89:89:/opt/vpopmail/domains/aurum- email.net:-:: Then it looks for a /opt/vpopmail/domains/aurum-email.net/.qmail-user file with delivery instructions for the mail. Vpopmail doesn't even get involved at this point, so make sure all of your .qmail-user files point to valid Maildirs. Could you have an old alias that points to a now non-existent Maildir? Newer versions of qmailadmin show bad aliases like that in red, so they're easy to see. So it looks in /opt/vpopmail/domains/aurum-email.net for the .qmail-default file to proceed with delivery. The .qmail-default has the following: | /opt/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /opt/vpopmail/domains/aurum-email.net/postmaster So Qmail runs vdelivermail to deliver the email. It knows where the user's maildir is and puts the email there. vdelivermail checks for entries in the valias table (if compiled that way), and then tries to look up the user in the user database and deliver the mail to the directory specified there. If the user doesn't exist, then it delivers the mail to the default location. In your case, the postmaster mailbox. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/ Notice: The information contained in this message may be privileged, confidential, and protected from disclosure.

[vchkpw] Spamassassin + Clamav Antivirus + vpopmail
Hi people ! I want to install Spamassassin and Clam Antivirus with vpopmail ! Do you suggest any high speed scanning tool ? I know qmail-scanner.pl, but is this a fast method ? Meanwhile.. My Spamassassin needs aproximately 10 seconds for scanning one message. Is this the normal duration ? My homegrown Mailserver uses vpopmail/qmail and has about 200 Mails per day :) Thanks very much, knom.

RE: [vchkpw] Spamassassin + Clamav Antivirus + vpopmail
I know qmail-scanner.pl, but is this a fast method ? Meanwhile.. My Spamassassin needs aproximately 10 seconds for scanning one message. Is this the normal duration ? I use a known spam message as a test bed for tuning performance of our SpamAssassin installation. You can run: cat /path/to/known/spam/message | spamassassin -D Review the output of this command to determine which processes are taking so long. More than likely you are making DNS calls to RBLs that aren't responding in a timely fashion or are using another service (pyzor, which we have had disabled since December) that is slow to return a response. With proper tuning your SpamAssassin can be made to scan messages in under .6 seconds with a full battary of external tests. (This is even on a 1GHz 512MB AMD Athlon machine.) If anybody is interested in some of the performance tweaks we have made to SA, please let me know. Tom Walsh Network Administrator http://www.ala.net/
[vchkpw] single letter local part
Hi Can someone explain why vpopmail won't let me have [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a valid email address. I get Error: Illegal username when I try to add this, and I think it is a vpopmail rather than qmail constraint. Is there any way around this? Cheers Al

[vchkpw] important: roaming users
I've got a big problem with roaming users !

Re: [vchkpw] Spamassassin + Clamav Antivirus + vpopmail
Hello, qmail-scanner-queue.pl runs spamassassin, razor2, pyzor, clamav, and its own internal scanner, as well as doing rbl lookups, in under 1 second per message, usually about .8 seconds for me. The 10 second delay as someone pointed out is the default timeout for rbl lookups. I had this problem and I recently groomed my rblsmtpd list. I was using servers that were down. The following list may use some services that are a little agressive, though I now have no (known) issues with valid mails being bounced, but in combination with spamassassin, as well as an address known to many spammers (used to get 80+ per day), a few spams make it into my inbox per week. More info about these hosts can be found through their websites. Also, by following /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current, you can follow rblsmtpd's actions, for debugging, etc. FYI: (live, fast responding rbl hosts as of 1/26/03) snip /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd \ -r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org \ -r blackholes.mail-abuse.org \ -r list.dsbl.org \ -r bl.spamcop.net \ -r relays.ordb.org \ -r dnsbl.ahbl.org \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ snip Regards, Alex Martin http://www.rettc.com knom wrote: Hi people !
