Advice using Userdb ?
Hello, i am trying to set up vpopmail using /etc/userdb like recommended in several INSTALL/README files. I used the the scripts makeuserdb, vchkpw2userdb to convert and setup the database. everything worked fine with no erros and i both found the ascii file and the compiled binary. Problem: how do i tell vpopmail to use /etc/userdb instead of ~vpopmail/domain/example.com/vpasswd ? I searched the web and the mailinglists, but didnt found answers. could you please point me to the right document or tell me what to do ? Thanx in advance, Regads, Philipp Steinkrger

And for the developers of vpopmail. If .qmail-default have lots of lines with vdelivermail, the recipient of a valid popaccount receives the same number of messages of the lines in .qmail-default. eg: .qmail-default (test.com domain): |/path/to/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] |/path/to/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] |/path/to/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] I send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] that is a valid popaccount in this domain, then, [EMAIL PROTECTED] receives 3 copies of the same e-mail. If you correct this bug in vpopmail you can add e-mail more than one recipient in .qmail-default. If you dont correct this bug you have to make qmailadmin put only one CORRECT entry in .qmail-default. We made some corrections in the code for the first and for the forward that is a catchall bugs. Does this mean the catchall / forward bug is fixed. I setup a forward for postmaster (which displayed with the catch all flag as set), yet the forward was ok (i.e a .qmail-postmaster file existed with the correct email to forward to), the the .qmail-default had the bounce no mailbox line. Hence we were under the impression that a catchall forward was setup, yet it was bouncing stuff. This is all on qmailadmin 0.42. I manually corrected the .qmail-default via a terminal, but would like the web interface to reflect what is actually happening, ie the ability to set a catch all forward, as many of the users are setting up domains, and want all mail forwarded to other email address. Can this be fixed ? (I assume its a bug ;-) or is it fixed in 0.43 ?

Re: Urgent help
Postmaster writes: Mark, I do have to login as @domain.com, so I guess the domain name wasn't configured at compile. Is this a delivery or retrieval problem? If it's pop3 authentication, no users have complained so far. On the other hand, users are suspicious that not all their mail are being delivered. This would be a retrieval problem. But if your users are anything like my users, they don't even pay attention to their email program unless it plays a little tune to announce the receipt of messages. This could be considered a 'delivery' problem, depending on what is meant. I am using it to mean: mail is being received at the mail server correctly, but users are not able to collect it via their mail client. To check whether messages are being received (or sent) by your mail server, inspect the qmail logs (if you follow DJB's convention, the files located in the /service/qmail/log/main directory) to look for inconsistencies or anomalies. I did notice that with my last response, mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] bounced back. If it does again, I'll forward the message to the list (I deleted the last one). mark
Clearing out the Que...
My que is getting rather cluttered up (I am running Qmail MRTG (http://mail.royaleq.com/qmail/), and it shows a constant 12 - 16 message back-log in the que). How can I either force the que to re-process, or clear it out altogether? It is lagging other messages flowing through the system. Thanks in advance for any help folks... (Also, up2date on RedHat 7 seemed to worked fine. Once I finaly got up3date to work correctly, everything went smooth - and all tests seemed to show a healthy system - only time will tell for sure - thanks) James BeamNetwork/ASP OperationsBiznizWEB, Inc./Touch PLc http://www.biznizweb.comhttp://www.touchsmart.co.ukhttp://www.dynaportal.comhttp://www.townsourceinteractive.com

killall -ALRM qmail-send
Sending SIGALRM forces qmail-send to rerun the queue. Clearing it out
all together would be as simple as killing qmail-send and running a
command something like this:
find /var/qmail/queue -type f -exec rm {} \;
Which would delete every message from your outbound queue.
It is lagging other messages flowing through the system.
No, it isn't. One of the design features of qmail is that its queue
system is very lightweight. IIRC, each message in the queue consumes
something like 8 bytes of RAM. qmail maintains a list of which mail
servers are failing and doesn't retry them as frequently. All of this
means that having mail in the queue is only a problem from an aesthetic
point of view. I work for an ISP and manage a small cluster of
qmail/vpop servers. Because of the nature of qmail, we always have a
large quantity of bouncing spam in the outbound queue. I've seen it get
as high as 1000 messages per box and it has had zero effect on system
speed.

Re: qmail, vpopmail
We're talking about tcpserver running qmail-smtpd or qmail-popup. His complaint was that it was slow, probably a dns lookup issue. I disable them all (-R, -H, -l 0) to make sure response time is quick. qmail-send isn't used with tcpserver, so the -l 0 argument doesn't apply. -Bill On Thursday, April 5, 2001, at 12:22 PM, Dan Phoenix wrote: are we talking about qmail-smtpd here or qmail-send?

Aliases?
I apologize if this is more a Qmail or OpenBSD question than a vpopmail question, but I suspect vpopmail mail handling is what's confusing me. I'm running Qmail 1.03, FastForward 0.51, vpopmail (4.9.8-1, I think, latest stable release as of 2 days ago) on an OpenBSD 2.8/i386 box. I set up an /etc/aliases file ran newaliases to get the standard system accounts to forward to my account. Newaliases appeared to run fine, but mail to root still bounces as below. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

vuserinfo broken in vpopmail-4.9.10 ?
Hi, I have a problem with vuserinfo in vpopmail-4.9.10 installation. When I do "./vuserinfo [EMAIL PROTECTED]", the result is not information for user [EMAIL PROTECTED], but information of all user in my default domain are printed. I install vpopmail with this configure options: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/vpopmail --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-default-domain=test.com --enable-qmaildir=/usr/local/qmail --enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcp.smtp --enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/local/ucspi-tcp/bin/tcprules --enable-large-site=y --enable-auth-logging=y --enable-logging=v --enable-mysql=y --enable-sqlincdir=/usr/local/mysql/include/mysql --enable-sqllibdir=/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql --enable-hardquota=5242880 username and password for mysql in vmysql.h is ok. All utilities in vpopmail bin directory is working fine except for vuserinfo. POP, sending email, etc is working fine too. Before vpopmail-4.9.10, I use vpopmail-4.9.8-1. I've try to find information in vpopmail mailing list, but it looks like I'm the only one who have this problem... :) So, thank you for any reply and sugestion. Best Regards, Adrian
Re: vuserinfo broken in vpopmail-4.9.10 ?
In my situation, vuserinfo prints nothing at all (4.9.10) - just retruns a prompt, no error. It worked in 4.9.9 (March 16). Here's my compile line: ./configure --enable-tcpserver-file=/home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-logging=v --enable-hardquota=1000 Regards, Bill Shupp On Thursday, April 5, 2001, at 05:47 PM, Adrian Purnama wrote: Hi, I have a problem with vuserinfo in vpopmail-4.9.10 installation.
