Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail's Roaming users and smtp-auth......
Dear Kurt Bigler: Thank you very much! Before I upgraded qmail to use smtp-auth, I had the roaming option to allow to send mail and had a cron job to clear open-smtp IPs as your said, all of that had worked normally. when I used smtp-auth, I just patch the qmail and change the RUNSMTP script( NOT recompile vpopmail whitout Roaming option), So I think that the fouction was still effectual, it is to said that I can send mail without any authentication in a while after I recieved email by POP3, right?? I think it is THE problem. That may be the other issue. You have to clear out the authenticated entries in a cron job, otherwise the roaming entries will stay there forever I don't worry about it because that cron job was still worked. and you will never have to authenticate a second time.. There is info about that in the doc. Two things have to work together: the specified expiration time for the entries, and a job running to clear out the expired entries. But I couldn't find out any issue about that :-( And I don't sure whether I can send mail to internet (after I recompiled vpopmail without roaming option) or not. Any suggestion?? Thanks ahead!!!

An off-list response because I am no expert... I don't know much about qmail/vpopmail, but roaming users is one thing I did do. If you can still send WITHOUT authentication then maybe you are sending from an IP that is in the fixed list? You can still have a fixed list of IPs that require no authentication, even if you are using the roaming users option. The vpopmail roaming users option does require a recompile, but without it you would simply not be allowed to authenticate EXCEPT through the static list of IPS. The roaming option allows that list to also be updated dynamically, but this does not interfere with static entries, which have no time limit associated with them. That may be the other issue.

Hope that helps, in spite of the fact that I can not remember the names of the specific files, etc. -Kurt Bigler on 11/17/02 6:58 PM, Xie ZhiJin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All: I have built my mailserver with qmail+vpopmail+sqwebmail, and could send mail with ROAMING USERS.

I think because of the options --ROAMING USERS when compiled vpopmail, right?? do I need to recompile vpopmail and anything else??? Best Regard, Xie 18-11-2002
[vchkpw] Converting old virtualdomains
Hi, I currently have an old qmail system, where the original admin had added virtual domains by creating a user, adding an entry of domain.tld:v-user , and then adding ~v-user/.qmail-alias files, which normally aliased to local system accounts. Is there a tool out there or method to easily convert these? Ultimately, I'd like to have these domains converted to vpopmail domains with the .qmail- files in them, and then add new users as vpopmail users for these domains.. Basically, is there a way I can avoid having to manually move the aliases? - Andre Fortin, CCNA Systems Administrator Technician Persona Communications, Northern Division 500 Barrydowne Rd.

[vchkpw] Mail loop for virtual domain
Sorry for the repeat message; the subject line got botched earlier... --- I'm getting message loops with syslog entries like: Nov 17 17:38:42 t2 qmail: 1037576322.944319 delivery 8043: failure: /var/vpopmail/domains/thomasons.org,,thomasons.org/message_is_looping_/mail_is_looping/ ...whenever mail is sent to a non-existent ID at my domain. I've been using qmail for SMTP and local mail delivery for myself for several years now, and vpopmail on top of that for my wife. This has all lived on my combo NAT/mail/djbdns/web server. I recently added a gee-whiz workstation for myself behind that server and decided I wanted a pure virtual domain, where all email destined to me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), any administrative messages on my various linux boxes, any extended addresses (like scott-jobsearch@...), or any other misspellings should be destined for my single account, scott under the vpopmail domain thomasons.org. That way I could pick it up via POP onto my new workstation. Because I also plan to soon implement Courier-IMAP, I needed to upgrade vpopmail anyway. I reinstalled the latest versions of qmail and vpopmail. Everything works great as long as a defined email address is specified, but as the following example illustrates, when I sent mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from my yahoo account, everything falls apart. I have all my qmail/aliases/* set to [EMAIL PROTECTED], including .qmail-default. I have an uneasy suspicion that the problem lies thereabouts, but I'm not sure how to achieve the effect I want without doing it that way. I think I'm pretty close...ideas? FYI, I want my vpopmail accounts to work with qmail extended addresses, and have compiled vpopmail that way. Any pointers are greatly appreciated! ---scott Message excerpt: == Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Received: (qmail 18845 invoked by uid 511); 17 Nov 2002 22:10:05 - Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (null)Delivered-To: Received: (qmail 18842 invoked for bounce); 17 Nov 2002 22:10:05 - Date: 17 Nov 2002 22:10:05 - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: failure notice Hi.

[vchkpw] Intermittent Login Failed
I am having a very strange problem that I can't track down. I have had qmail and vpopmail up and running for about 3 months, some accounts work flawlessly, but others give me a login failed message but only once in a while. I tried recompiling everything and reinstalling from scratch but this just changes which accounts are flaking out more of them are working now but it is still a bit random as to wether an account will work or not on any given day. My email client saves my password and this is happening on one of my accounts or I wouldn't even believe it. Restarting pop3d or imapd (whichever type of account I amd having trouble with) seems to fix the problem temporarily. Any Suggestions? Thanks -Bill Heller
[vchkpw] vpopmail/qmail migration
I have an existing vpopmail/qmail server hosting several domains. I've put together a new server on the same subnet to replace the old one. vpopmail is configured and functioning properly on the new server. My plan is to simply copy the /home/vpopmail/* directory to the new server, and move the IP address from new to old. My question is: Are there any important files withing /var/qmail or elsewhere that also need to be moved at the time of migration? Thank you. -- -- Zak L Brown, R.H.C.E.

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail/qmail migration
make sure that the permission (uid and gid are the same on the new server. also the qmail control files need to be copied over also. and the db needs to match everything else. so to sum it all up.. qmail, /var/vpopmail and the db all need to match. I have done this many times and it is a very tricky operation.

Zak, Move also the rcpthosts (and morercpthosts file), virtualdomains and any other /var/qmail/control file which has information about your virtual domains.

[vchkpw] Best IMAPd for vchkpw w/roaming-users
I checked all the docs, list archives for this and the Courier-IMAP list, followed the FAQ at: http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/FAQ (no 34) and what I'm trying to do still doesn't seem to work...I'm trying to configure the following: qmail/tcpserver/sqwebmail/maildrop/vpopmail -- All of these are working fine together. I am authenticating against the system password database, with no virtual users, with roaming-users on. To do this, I had to use sqwebmail's authdaemon with authdaemon in the authmodule list. The only way I've been able to get courier-imap users to authenticate successfully is to start its authdaemon with authpam in the module list. Putting authvchpw in that list still does not allow roaming users, despite following vpopmail's faq instructions (perhaps this only works for virtual users?). If somebody can recommend another good Maildir native IMAPd that works this way, I'd be grateful. I wouldn't mind a popd replacement that works with the same setup but shows the client large attachment download status (STAT?). TIA, James Smallacombe PlantageNet, Inc.
