Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail Debian
Hi Zeno, First let me say there's no need to drop me a copy of your answer to my e-mail-address directly. I'm reading the list, therefore answering on list is sufficient.

Why? I dunno. As you stated you're using still 4.9.9-1 I'd suggest you remove vpopmail-bin from debian pool and compile at least a 5.2.1 from http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail, if not even a 5.3.8 from same site but devel page. The latter I'd call quite stable so there shouldn't be to much risk left. If the problem persists with newer version we'll probably be able to hunt down the culprit, at least much easier than me or anybody else installing a 4.9.9 with Debian specs and do the debugging job for you (albeit I'm running Debian [Woody] too I don't want to step back, it's not worth the trouble as the older version is quite outdated). -- Pit

[vchkpw] vdelivermail fails when alias line starting with | and containing /Maildir/
Hi, I think i've encountered a bug, vdelivermail seems to process the line: |/do/deliver/to /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/test1/Maildir/ wrongly. It deals with it like it's a /Maildir/-line, which is wrong. It seems like vdelivermail checks for /Maildir/ anywhere in the line, before it checks for a | at the start of the line.

I've rebuilt bruceg's qmail RPM ( http://untroubled.org/qmail+patches/ ) and have updated it to use 0.31, but it appears that it's accepting mail even when prompted for the required username and password, you give it fudged values, i.e. a user account and passwd that I _know_ are invalid. It happily accepts these and sends out this mail -- not quite the sort of authentication I'd like :) Are you also seeing this behaviour with 0.31? Bill

Increased FILE_LINE_SIZE to 1024 in vcalias for the same reason. vcalias now escapes FileLine input. Thanks to Brad Dameron for pointing this out. - Added disable_smtp support to the new vlimits functions - Fixed configure.in so that --enable-mysql-limits is now reported after running configure - Moved format_maildirquota() to the vpopmail library. Updated vlimits.c to use format_maildirquota() for default_quota. - format_maildirquota() now uses 1024 and and 1048576 when converting KB and MB instead of 1000 and 100, respectively. 10/23/02 Anders Brander anders at brander dot dk - vdelivermail: Check for | *before* /Maildir/ in .qmail processing - vdelivermail: Add missing case for error code 100 Please help test, and report any problems to the list.

[vchkpw] vpopmail quota bugs

P.S. it's fine if we download and remove the normal incoming email. Chris
Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail Debian
The alternative way, of course, is to use the slightly more out-of-date packages that Debian provides. Download (or dselect) the qmail-src package in Debian, the run build-qmail (during installation this will mention this, so don't worry). After that, grab the vpopmail packages in Debian as well, and install those. Blam. Apart from some tweaking, you're done. Of course, you don't get the new fancy features that are in the latest versions, but it works, and so far for us it has been reliable.

The easiest way to do this is qmail-conf. You could use qmail-conf to redo all the qmail services, but it is easier to stick with the ones that qmail-run sets up: http://www.din.or.jp/~ushijima/qmail-conf.html * Allow incoming connections to pop3d. By default, it does not allow any connections. There is an add-client script in /var/qmail/service/qmail-pop3d that can be used. To simply allow connections from everywhere, create an empty tcp file and run the Makefile. You will need to run the Makefile after using add-client. * Change the qmail-pop3d run script to use vpopmail. It needs to use vchkpw as the checkpassword program. Change this to your vchkpw program (ex. /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw). The parameter to be changed is the second parameter to qmail-popup. * Restart all of the services: svc -t /service/qmail-* * You can make things easier if you add /var/qmail/bin and the vpopmail bin directory to root's PATH. -- David Phillips [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://david.acz.org/

Re: [vchkpw] patch for vpopmail 5.3.8 for .qmailadmin-limits
As usual, I don't see anything related to disablesmtp. Is this feature going to be merged in the main stream, or do I have to continue with my private copies? Anyway, two notes: 1) I feel that would be much better another layout, like: domain CHAR(64) PRIMARY KEY, option CHAR(64) PRIMARY KEY, value CHAR(64) NOT NULL that would permit to add other options more easily. 2) I'ld like to have other options in qmailadmin-limits, that could permit to deny some functions to 'admin' users that are not 'postmaster': ex. deny_list_create deny_list_modify deny_list_users_modify deny_list_moderators_modify deny_account_create deny_alias_create Any idea or suggestion?

Bill said he'd like it to use the format_maildirquota() function, however I've updated my copy to parse out the symbols and multiply by 1024 or 1024*1024, but I'm not sure if this is the vpopmail standard. Bill: Shall I put a patch for these two items ? I must have sent you the incorrect patch file (I had two, one with the vmysql.h changes and one without). Thanks, I've added the above definition to vmysql.h. format_maildirquota() also accounts for message counts, i.e. Maildir++ style quotas, which is why I want to use it rather than just converting the number. Can you supply me a patch of what you did, and I'll work from there? Regards, Bill Inter@zioniInterazioni di Antonio Nati http://www.interazioni.it [EMAIL PROTECTED]
