[vchkpw] Mail not being delivered to list on main domain from alias
Hello, I am struggling to get my mailing lists to work correctly. I am on the following versions. Qmail 1.03 Qmailadmin 1.0.6 Vpopmail5.21 ezmlm 0.53 I have the main domain set up like mail.domain.com and I have used the vaddaliasdomain to point domain1.com and domain2.com, etc to mail.domain.com. Email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets to the account at [EMAIL PROTECTED] just fine. I have lists set up like [EMAIL PROTECTED] delivers to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] The problem is that email sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets rejected instead of being delivered to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] The error that comes back to the sender is <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: ezmlm-reject: fatal: List address must be in To: or Cc: (#5.7.0) I have inquired several times on the ezmlm users group without any response. Is there a way to make vpopmail carry the originating sendto address across to the ezmlm list in the To: portion so that it can be handled correctly at the [EMAIL PROTECTED] point?

If you have a list of addresses, just edit the list to place vdeluser at the beginning of each line. Then run the result as a shell script. For example in vi, escape to ex mode by typing colon and then after the colon type: %s/^/vdeluser / I don't know off-hand if other arguments are needed, so this is just for example. > > TIA > > Brendan > > >

Is there an easy way to remove a number of email accounts using vdeluser all at once? My problem is thisI want to remove several thousand mail accounts from my server, but I don't want to manually run vdeluser for each one. Is there any way for vdeluser to read from a list of addresses to remove? Is there a better way to do this? TIA Brendan
[vchkpw] forwarded mail and vpopbull
Hey all, I figured out my earlier question through trial and error with a test domain before I ran it on my production mail server. anyway, i'm left wondering. If a user has a .qmail file that forwards mail for that mailbox to an outside address, will they get the message that vpopbull copies into their Maildir? I'm pretty sure the answer is a resounding NO, but I want to make sure. Is there any way around that problem? Brendan
RE: [vchkpw] Adding users
Yup, with vadduser, just go: ~vpopmail/bin/vadduser -n user@domain -n means no password. To test then, do a: telnet 0 110 USER user@domain PASS whatever QUIT Then do a ~vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo user@domain and look for the password.

Hi Pat, We had the same problem, when we migrated from Post.Office to vpopmail last year We had a list of original passwords that people used when they 1st signed up with our ISP. But since then many of them had changed their passwords so our list wasnt 100% accurate. In the end we enabled the password capturing features of our RADIUS server so that we could capture peoples passwords as they dialled in. This gave us a pretty complete password list within a week or two. We just set the remaining vpopmail passwords to the original password we had on file This gave us a pretty complete list, and after we migrated all the mailboxes across, we just fielded the tech calls from any remaining users and reset their passwords as appropriate. Make sure you compile vpopmail with "--enable-logging=p" and "--enable-clear-passwd=y". This will let you tech desk staff be able to view what people are typing in as their password should their authentication fail. Also they can see what actual password is stored in the vpopmail account. Michael.
RE: [vchkpw] Adding users
A simpler solution is to build vpopmail with clear text passwords and learning passwords. The first time they pop in, it will learn their pop password, and put it into a clear text field as well as an encrypted field. Makes it easier for Help Desk people.

[vchkpw] vpopbull question(s)
Before I screw this up and send out emails to everyone on my server, I wanted to run this by everyone on the list. I have two questions. First of all, I want to send a bulletin to all mailboxes on the system except for those in my "do not contact" list. Now, I know I need to run the -e flag to exclude email addresses, but should the addresses in that file be in the form [EMAIL PROTECTED] or just username? I only have one virtual domain on the server. I figure having the full [EMAIL PROTECTED] can't hurt, but I just want to be sure I am doing this right before I send out a blanket email. Also, what format should this file be in? Should each entry have its own line, or should they be tab or comma separated? Secondly, reading the vpopbull man page, it seems to indicate that you can use vpopbull to get a listing of all the mailboxes on the system. If I run vpopbull as follows, will this give me a list of all mailboxes WITHOUT sending them mail: vpopbull -f filename -v -n Thanks for the help. Brendan
