[vchkpw] Invalid mailbox handling / bouncing bounce handling
Hi, this has probably been asked several times, but... It is possible to reject a SMTP connection for a mailbox that does not exists? What is the best way to deal with a bounce than bounced... Happens expecially with the vacation solution processing spam... It replies to an address that does not exists or is being bounced. The next thing I know is I get it in my mailbox being the administrator of the main domain. Thanks! Jan Example: Hi. This is the qmail-send program at digitaldaemon.com. I tried to deliver a bounce message to this address, but the bounce bounced! [EMAIL PROTECTED]: 216.136.129.82 does not like recipient.

Hello Jan, On Friday, August 30, 2002 at 8:33:10 AM you wrote: It is possible to reject a SMTP connection for a mailbox that does not exists? Using qmail? No. Maybe some day there'll be a patch that can be used for a limited number of scenarios like this, but AFAIK there's none yet. What is the best way to deal with a bounce than bounced... REading 'man qmail-control', search for 'doublebouncehost' and 'doublebounceto' and if you get too much double-bounces and are not interested in reading them setting up a 'blackhole alias' for double-bounces. E.g. $ echo '#' ~alias/.qmail-dblbounce $ echo 'dblbounce' /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto $ killall -HUP qmail-send -- Best regards Peter Palmreuthermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[vchkpw] vchkpw: vpopmail user not found
Hi! I posted this earlier to the bulletin board archive, but I wasn't subscribed to the list at the time. I don't know if it went out to the list, or just got added to the archives, so I am posting directly to the list, just in case. I installed the latest Qmail, Vpopmail (stable, not development), and Courier-IMAP (yes, I have AUTHDAEMONS=vchkpw), daemontools, and ucspi-tcp, following the instructions in Bill's Qmail Toaster Guide. I then created a virtual domain using vadddomain (for this example, I will use virtualdomain1.com as the domain). I then added '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', and got prompted to create a password, which I did. I sent a test email from my Yahoo! account, and it got to the mailbox just fine. However, when I attempt to retrieve the email using any mail client, I keep getting prompted for the username/password. The /var/log/maillog says: vchkpw: vpopmail user not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:IP ADDRESS I tried deleting then re-adding the domain, however, it does not seem to work. It seems that I am only able to either get login working correctly, or mail sent to the mailbox correctly, but not both together (I was having the problem before where loging in as the user was working, but mail was being bounced back saying user not know, even though the user *did* exist) Because 'virtualdomain1.com' is not the default domain, I was using '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as the username. The odd thing is that I can only either: 1. Be able to authenticate as a virtual user, but mail sent to the user bounces back as user unknown (I have since learned that this is the case if Courier0IMAP is running the POP3 service); or 2. Mail sent to a virtual user reached the mailbox, but I am unable to authenticat (this seems to occur when vpopmail is handling the POP3, instead of Courier-IMAP) I even tried using the Sqwebmail interface, since it reads the users' mailboxes directly, as opposed to acting as a POP/IMAP client, but I was still unable to authenticate (I did not try it with Courier-IMAP handling the POP service, however).

[vchkpw] VPopMail and Oracle on Linux
Hi Folks, I've had a bit of hassle recently trying to compile VPopMail 5.2.1/5.3.8 with the Oracle authentication module. Having had a bit of a poke about the archives for this mailing list I see that a few other people have had the same problems and no one has posted a solution yet. First I want to give a little background so that if anyone wants to pick up where I've left off it will be a little easier. VPopMail uses a number of different authentication modules. Which one you're going to use is defined when you run ./configure and the chosen file is symlinked to auth.c (auth.h remains unchanged). In the case of the Oracle module the authentication file is voracle.c which has been produced by running Pro*C (oracle's precompiler) on voracle.pc. Also, during ./configure, the file config.h is produced. This contains various #define statements depending on which arguments you have passed to configure. Many of these #defines are used by the c preprocessor to chose which particular parts of the program(s) are to be compiled. Therefore the arguments passed to ./configure are very important. OK, on to the build. Make sure that Oracle's precompiler (proc) is installed and working. You have no chance of building vpopmail with oracle support without proc. Test it out on it's demo files. Unpack the archive with gunzip vpopmail-5.2.1.tar.gz | tar xvf - and cd vpopmail-5.2.1 You need to make 2 changes to voracle.pc so open it up in an editor and make the following changes: voracle.pc line 630, change MYSQL_DEFAULT_TABLE to ORACLE_DEFAULT_TABLE voracle.pc line 334, change memset(pwent, 0, sizeof(pwent)); to memset(pwent, 0, sizeof(pwent)); save voracle.pc and run it through the oracle precompiler proc voracle.pc this will produce the voracle.c file. Now you need to run configure. remember that the arguments passed to configure are extrememly important and you may need to experiment a little. The arguments that have worked for me are :- ./configure --enable-oracle=y --enable-incdir=/opt/oracle/product/817/precomp/public --enable-libdir=/opt/oracle/product/817/lib --enable-auth-logging=n --enable-mysql=n --enable-many-domains=y --enable-file-locking=y --enable-clear-passwd=n You will have to adjust the path details for the include directory and library directory to suit your system and there may be a little scope for experimentation with the other options, but be careful. As I mentioned above; many of the options set precompiler directives which determine exactly which bits of code are/are not compiled. Many of the errors I was getting and many of the errors listed on this list are due to the compiler trying to build incorrect pieces of code. Finally you need to add a #define macro to config.h so open it with an editor and go to the end and add the following line: #define SITE_SIZE 1000 I've just picked 1000 as an arbitary value. You will probably want to experiment with this and find something suitable for your needs. OK, we're done. type make and it should compile. Hope this works out for you and many thanks to Ken for helping me out. regards, dunch.

Qmail accepts the message (and the patch would let the message flow, because the mailing list exists), then the mailing list (or the auto-responder) replies to a not existing user.

[vchkpw] tcpserver mysql patch
Please forgive me if this is the wrong forum for this question. It seems that even after applying Matt Simerson's tcpserver-mysql patch, the tcp.smtp.cdb file is still being rehashed on every pop authentication. I am getting data in the relay table properly, and my /var/qmail/control/sql file is correct. Also, my qmail-smtpd/run file includes the -S flag to tcpserver. Does anyone know what I am missing here? Thanks! Regards, Paul Fries [EMAIL PROTECTED]
