virusscan for selected virtual domains only?
Hello all, Is there a way to scan selected virtual domains (not all) with qmail-scanner or other tools under vpopmail, e.g. .qmail-default in virtual domain directory? Thanks for help. Dirk

pop3 session would freeze
Hi, I am using qmail 1.03 + vpopmail 4.9.8 on Solaris 2.7 and MS Outlook Express as pop3 client. While retrieving messages, without any obvious reason, the pop3 session would first freeze and then Outlook would display an error message saying that it cannot communicate with the pop3 server for 60 seconds. The message counter on the client side would start to increase and then suddenly stop at some arbitrary mesage like "receiving messages 14 of 25" and freeze like that. Any suggestions will be dearly appreciated. Regards, Ufuk
Re: pop3 session would freeze
This may sound odd, but do you have Norton Antivirus installed? NAV 2000 (or 2001 or 2002) actually installs a POP relay. What it means is that the message only gets returned to the client when it has been completely downloaded and has been checked for viruses. This means that you will not see progress in downloading messages... Only the final result. While it assures no viruses, should you have a large attachments or large e-mail as message 14, you will not know why it is just sitting there. Try telnetting to the pop server (telnet ip 110) USER username PASS password LIST If that shows some really large number (bytes) besides message 14, you'll know why. -- Mike PS: And stop using Microsoft products X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.00.2919.6700 *smirk* - Original Message - From: Ken Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Ufuk M.

Trust me, you really DON'T want to have multiple administrators messing with the data at the same time as the number of problems resulting from this kind of stuff is indefinite. It's hard enough to get RDBMS backed solutions working correctly over the web and the vast majority of code which is marketed as multi user capable really breaks if two people are operating on the same sets of data at the same time. The only thing that could be done in a halfway safe way (i.e. user can at most destroy his own account which the admin can fix afterward) is to allow NORMAL users to change their pws while someone else is working with the system. I was emailing back and forth with Gabriel Ambuehl about the no-forwarding-postmaster's-email topic, and I accidentally deleted the last one, but I believe the concensus was that deleting postmaster and making it just forward to another admin (or even non-admin) account is feasible because the only thing that relies on postmaster existing is the code to detect whether a domain is an alias or not, but that code is no longer needed (or something along those lines), so it should be ok to whack postmaster. Is that right, Gabriel? It basically says what I said. AFAIK, the code I was referring to isn't yet integrated so it is safe to delete the postmasters and AFAIK it's still allowed in the pre5 and perhaps always will be although I still think is a bad thing TM.

Re: pop3 session would freeze
I was once asked to fix a Eudora Internet Mail Server installation that was freezing POP clients. Every client in the office froze while trying to download mail. Turned out that they were all on a mailing list someone had sent a mail to that list with a blank body. They were also all using M$ LookOut Express, which chokes on messages with blank bodies in some circumstances. After wiping out the offending message, everything was okay again. So, as others have said, don't use M$ software. :) To see if this is the problem, do this from your mail server: - %telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK [EMAIL PROTECTED] user [EMAIL PROTECTED] +OK pass password +OK list +OK 1 2784 2 1690 3 1353 4 1871 . - You can then use the retr command to look at the offending message, i.e. retr 4 if message #4 is causing the problem. To remove a problematic message, use the dele command, i.e. dele 4. When you're done, type quit to exit the POP session. HTH, -Kit At 7:47 PM +0300 9/26/01, Ufuk M.

It seems to me that CDB is the simplest way to perform vpopuser authentication. What I've seen is cdb compilation starts taking too long somewhere above 5,000 users. cdb needs to be recompiled when ever a user is added/deleted/modified. cdb also has possible file locking problems when multiple updates are happening to the password file. It depends on how your NFS server handles file locking. Some NFS servers are totally broken, and I've seen vpasswd files corruppted because of it. mysql does not have the compilation delay or the file locking problem. I've seen it scale very well above 300,000 users. MySQL also supports replication, so you can build a clustered system. Personally, I think LDAP should be taken out and shot, then beaten mercelessly and... etc, etc. I bet the people who came up with XML and WAP also came up with LDAP. Have you ever looked at the function calls to access an LDAP server. Horribly in-efficent. I've seen many an LDAP server break under the high transaction loads of a busy mail server. LDAP seems to be fine for departmental stuff, and should stay there (and hopefully die). Ken Jones the opinions expressed herein are right and you are wrong:)

ADV: I bet that I make more money in the Web design business than you do. Time:4:53:56 AM
I bet that I make more money in the Web design business than you do. From the customers I received last month I made $1560 income. I also profited on these people $1000 up front. And you know the funniest part? I didn't even design their sites! They did it for themselves! I bet your sales pitch doesn't come anywhere near mine. My sales pitch looks like this: Free Website! Free .com, .net, or .org name! Free First Month! Free Shopping Cart for E-commerce! Free Secure Credit Card Transaction Server Access! Free Website Editor! (Allows you to control your entire site from anywhere in the world with nothing more than your Internet browser!) Free Website Statistics Analysis! Unlimited everything! Unlimited Email Addresses! Unlimited Hosting Space! Unlimited Bandwidth! Unlimited Pages! Unlimited Capacity of items in the Shopping Cart! Fastest Websites!!! (Hosted on the best servers and bandwidth anywhere!) Website Promotion Options... There is nothing left to add to this service! If you can use a word processor, You can manage your own website! Only $35/month after your first FREE month! Everything you need to be doing business online NOW is here for only $25! (Limited time offer) I have been advertising this pitch on the front of my website for my design business 1 month, I have received over 40 signups. People SIGNUP EVERY SINGLE DAY. Almost, they bunch up on the weekends often. 1 month= $1560 income that comes in every month with no work! I will beat that number this month easily, but assuming I just keep up the same pace, next month will net $3,120 PROFIT. FOR A FACT I will be netting at least $10,720 a month by the end of the year. I got that number after subtracting $8000 to account for cancellations down the line. That is a ton of money! I can not even think of a way to not hit that number unless I completely stopped doing everything. My service is also better. You can't give anyone the as much value as I can. You can't give them the power to control their site as I can. You can't give them the prices that I can. You can't get them online as fast as I can. And even if somehow you found a way to do all that, you won't able to keep your customers as long as I do. Wow. Don't believe me? The interface I give my customers is easier to use than any other I have seen. It is by far the best web based interface you will ever see. A monkey would have a hard time making a site look bad with the software I include for my Customers. I charge them $35 a month and I only pay $10! I know I could charge a lot more for the service, but I am more interested in getting as many customers as possible now, than I am on making more on them. If you did the numbers to make sure I wasn't making them up, you'll see $560 missing this month. Where did it come from? There is an optional search engine submission program, that 70 percent of the people that signup opt for, I charge them $30/month. I pay $10. If they do decide they would like custom work done, no problem. I do it for them, and they don't try to bother me to change little things all the time on their site, because I give them the power to do it themselves, which they prefer. I like it to, keeps my time free for things I enjoy. In addition to being able to get at customers you can't, and being able to upsell them to all the custom design work I like, when ever I like, I bet I have a whole bunch of other things you DO NOT HAVE. Private Labeled to me Website Builder/Store Builder (Best Anywhere) Private Labeled to me Shopping Cart Private Labeled to me WebMail and Pop3 Service Private Labeled to me Secure Server Hosting Private Labeled to me Domain Name Registration Private Labeled to me Search Engine Submission Private Labeled to me Control Panel for FTP, email, user access... I can make as many new templates as I like to start them out from too. I also never have to pay for custom CGI work to provide E-Commerce solutions anymore. It is all done for me already, even the payment gateway integration. I use the same service my end-users use to do design work and It has cut my design time in more than half. I can make a complete E-Commerce enabled site in 15-30 minutes, email, shopping cart, ftp, running on the net! Can you do that?? Long story short. Unless you have some plans I don't know about, My business will be beating yours for sure in about 12 months. Can you compete? Are you getting customers as fast as I am? Are you making as much on them as I am? Is that money you are making staying with you every month? Is there a way for you to provide my customers something I don't? Can you say the same for yourself? I am going to let you in on SECRET now. Even though I know that my business will most likely be making a lot more than yours in 12 months, I am not greedy. I know that BIG money is not in being greedy. I know that No matter how much money my design company makes next year, If I combined

Trust me, you really DON'T want to have multiple administrators messing with the data at the same time as the number of problems resulting from this kind of stuff is indefinite. It's hard enough to get RDBMS backed solutions working correctly over the web and the vast majority of code which is marketed as multi user capable really breaks if two people are operating on the same sets of data at the same time. The only thing that could be done in a halfway safe way (i.e. user can at most destroy his own account which the admin can fix afterward) is to allow NORMAL users to change their pws while someone else is working with the system. I disagree. The RFC's state that email domains should accept email to postmaster. It doesn't state that postmaster has to be a pop account. One problem with having postmaster as a pop account, for some sites, is no one ever checks the postmaster email. They only check thier email accounts. So for those sites it would be better to not have postmaster as a pop account, and instead forward the postmaster email to the real pop account of the primary user. With the above type of setup, it would be very nice to allow that primary user to be the domain admin. Sites that would have multiple administrators changing email passwords, and hence create problems, can just not use this feature. I was emailing back and forth with Gabriel Ambuehl about the no-forwarding-postmaster's-email topic, and I accidentally deleted the last one, but I believe the concensus was that deleting postmaster and making it just forward to another admin (or even non-admin) account is feasible because the only thing that relies on postmaster existing is the code to detect whether a domain is an alias or not, but that code is no longer needed (or something along those lines), so it should be ok to whack postmaster. Is that right, Gabriel? With the new feature that Bill Shupp added, you can go ahead and delete the postmaster account and setup another user to be the admin. Then forward the postmaster email to an email address. It basically says what I said. AFAIK, the code I was referring to isn't yet integrated so it is safe to delete the postmasters and AFAIK it's still allowed in the pre5 and perhaps always will be although I still think is a bad thing TM. Ken if Bill may introduce new features before 5.0 is released, couldn't you introduce my patch too (cause I'm building some code that relies on some form (I don't care too much which one) of vaddaliasdomain() being present)? I think we are going to stick with the current domain alias code. It was there in the old 4.9 version and the early 4.10 versions and tested to work fine. It got removed from the later 4.10 version when we completely rewrote the code. I then added it back into the 5.0pre releases and it seems to be working fine. Adding in your changes could possibly break things, and break current sites, and would require more testing than I care to do. So unless there is an overwhelming reason from folks to use your code, I think we will stick with the current alias code. I'm sorry you are building code that relies on your changes. perhaps you can modify your code to use the alias code in the current 5.0pre releases. Ken Jones
