Pop server waits forever...
Hi everbody, I have a question for those who have some time to answer it. I installed qmail and vpopmail on a Mandrake 7.1 system. Everything worked perfect with cdb authentication but I then wanted to change it to mysql authentication. I recompiled the source but unfortunately, when I want to check e-mail, pop server gets the username and password and waits forever. I think there is a problem in the connection between vchkpw and mysql server. Any ideas? Thanx AET Configuration form vpopmail: --enable-roaming-users=y \ --enable-hardquota=1 \ --enable-ip-alias-domains=n \ --enable-relay-clear-minutes=360 \ --enable-mysql=y \ --enable-sqlincdir=/usr/include/mysql \ --enable-sqllibdir=/usr/lib/mysql \ --enable-ucspi-dir=/usr/local/bin \ --enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcp.smtp \ --enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/local/bin/ \ --enable-clear-passwd=y I am using tcpserver with softlimit for pop: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 1500 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ foo.bar.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 _ Do You Yahoo!?

Oli Just create Maildir mailbox with (as the user logged in): /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /home/user/Maildir. But if you are using vpopmail, it's a good idea to create your own domain as virtual where vpopmail is installed in. I hope this would help you, if not, someone of Inter7 masters would answer to you.

Re: $Home/Maildir qmail vpopmail
Hi, In my qmail startup script I use the following to start the qmail pop server: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -RHO -v 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ MY_FQDN /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /batches/poplog \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger \ pop3d 2 If you put it on one line, remove the \ at the line ends. Replace MY_FQDN with your serve's fully qualified domain name. poplog is the following (executable!) batch file, which logs your pop retrievals. Not necessary but nice: #!/bin/sh newmail=`ls $PWD/Maildir/new/ | wc -l` newmailbytes=`du -sb $PWD/Maildir/new/ | cut -f 1` oldmail=`ls $PWD/Maildir/cur/ | wc -l` oldmailbytes=`du -sb $PWD/Maildir/cur/ | cut -f 1` USER=Username: `basename $PWD` pushd .. 1/dev/null DIR=`basename $PWD` popd 1/dev/null echo $USER@$DIR New mails: $newmail ( $newmailbytes \ Bytes); Old mails: $oldmail ( $oldmailbytes Bytes) | \ /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d 2 pop=$1; shift; exec $pop $@ Hope this helped.

SMTP-AUTH with vpopmail
Sorry if I'm flogging a dead horse, but I can't seem to get this running. Can anyone walk me through the steps required to use the SMTP-AUTH patch with an existing qmail/vpopmail installation? Or do I need to reinstall everything from scratch? Running OpenBSD 2.9-stable if it matters.

vadddomain
Title: Message Just yesterday I setup qmail with vpopmail, and everything worked fine. I was able to add my primary domain via vadddomainwithout a problem. Just now I tried adding another domain and after prompting me for a postmaster password, it seg faulted. It did create a directory in /home/vpopmail/domains, but did not create a database entry (it is using mysql authentication). Does anybody know what the problem could be? Another weird thing, if I try to do vadddomain again with the same domain, it will prompt me for a postmaster password again, but after I enter it, it says the domain already exists (it doesn't seg fault). When I do a vdelddomain it says the domain doesn't exist. I simply delete thedirectory and that seems to do the trick, but I just thought it was kinda weird. Thanks a lot -Adam
Re: Urgent Help, please!
Guyver, I am sorry I can't write the script for you.. Just configure PHP with --with-vpopmail (Should find the directory automatically) compile PHP and Apache Again.. and Look at the vpopmail.h and vauth.h for the callable functions and there parameters.

Re: Urgent Help, please!
Brandon, No you can run it as any user.. I believe the vpopmail API takes care of the user problem..

RE: SMTP-AUTH with vpopmail
Or you can just add the qmaild user to the vchkpw group (which is what I did) This works just fine for me it seems, but I'm guessing it'll only work for sites that have ALL virtual domains under the vchkpw user, otherwise, you'll have to run the qmail-smtpd program as root.

Can anyone walk me through the steps required to use the SMTP-AUTH patch with an existing qmail/vpopmail installation? Or do I need to reinstall everything from scratch? Running OpenBSD 2.9-stable if it matters. I use Mrs. Brisby's drop-in replacement for qmail-smtpd.c with SMTP AUTH support. It doesn't support CRAM-MD5 authentication but none of the clients my users use support that anyways. http://www.nimh.org/dl/qmail-smtpd.c Then just add ~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true to the end of the script you use to launch qmail-smtpd. You do need to recompile qmail-smtpd but not vpopmail. If you have vpopmail 4.9.10, you'll need to make qmail-smtpd run as root but I don't know about newer versions.
Re: vadddomain
I believe you need to be root to run vadddomain. Delete the directory it created, su to root and run it again.
