Re: [vchkpw] delete old mails
i have the same idea with this kind problem where user can get email his latest email only all email that not filter nor move is automaticaly delete i think this need some changing on vpopmail code Can you elaborate? I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say. I use a cron script with the 'find' command to find spam email older than 21 days and remove it automatically. It erases about 500 emails a day now. Regards, Andrew

Regards, Andrew at least paul said it in a way i could understand: he wants to delete _old_ mail in case new mail arrives but would be bounced if that _old_ mail wasn't deleted. old mail could be mail in the Maildir/cur directory. However, if you retrieve mail but do not delete it from your pop3 account, this could be for a reason, don't you think? If I'm on the road and just check my mail via web2mail.com (or something similar).. I might expect the very important job offer/customer request/. to still be in my pop3 account and not being deleted for some dumb 7mb spam. and even if that 7mb mail was more important than any old mail i still have in my pop3 account: the sender is notified, that i did not get it and may therefor send it again. Pail: if you really want to do this, i think you would have to alter vdelivermail.c yourself, as there is no patch, that i know of. -- Mit internetten Grüßen / Best Regards --- Justin Heesemannionium Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.ionium.org

The conversion seems to want to find it at the old path of ~vpopmail/domains/someonesdomain.com/ and it gladly converts if it finds the information there.

So I'd suggest you - either add the new domain via 'vadddomain' if you switched to a new server and the old directories aren't present - or correct the path in above mentioned file to fit the new location if you're working on the same server and only recompiled vpopmail. vconvert searches a.m. file for correct path, opens 'vpasswd' fiel in this found location and does a 'vdeldomain' followed by a 'vaddomain' and than parses the vpasswd file into 'vadduser' (of course called functions are named a littel bit different, as it uses the API calls directly, the the principle should be shown correctly). So you have to use vconvert of vpopmail compiled with MySQL support, for 'vadddomain' and 'vadduser' being able to add the users to database!!! For security reasons I'd make a backup of old vpopmail directories as well as of database before trying to convert, there are deleting action I don't know of all possible consequences!!!

After all this is done (successfully) you should call 'qmail-newu' to update the qmail-user-cdb file according to qmail-user-assign, which contains the new path(s). Make sure you keep a copy of original 'assign' file as well, in case something went wrong you should copy it back and call qmail-newu, so old paths are prevented. What vpopmail needs is a big picture like Dan has put together for qmail. I think that would be a very valuable resource.

[vchkpw] weird authentication issue
Hi all, Here's a good Monday mystery for everbody. I am having some weird authentication issues with vpopmail and Courier IMAP (using the authvchkpw module.) Let me explain my setup: I'm running FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE, qmail 1.03, vpopmail 5.2.1, MySQL, and Courier IMAP. (I installed qmail and vpopmail manually, MySQL came out of the FreeBSD ports collection, and I've tried both the FreeBSD port of Courier *and* compiling the latest from the Courier site myself, with same result.) At any rate, I also have qmail-pop3d running and users can authenticate there just fine. However, when someone tries to login using IMAP, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I've tried this with and without MySQL (at first with it, and then I disabled MySQL for everything and used vconvert to get non-MySQL stuff running, and had the same results.) Here is what a snippet of MySQL logs show: 75 Query select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, \ pw_gid, pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell , pw_clear_passwd from vpopmail \ where pw_name = carrir and pw_domain = xxx.com (There is actually a domain name there, just masked it for user privacy and anti-spam reasons. g Also, the \'s I added for E-Mail purposes, to show that this was all on one line.) This is what sometimes happens when a user tries to login through IMAP. In this example, someone tries to login to IMAP as [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... you'd think this would break down to using 'pw_name = carri' but it doesn't. Somehow, an r ends up after the username. However, it's not always an r .. it can be an e or any other character. I've also tried telnetting to port 143 and issuing the login command (* LOGIN [EMAIL PROTECTED] herpassword) to get in, and I get an authentication failure (with the same mysql query logs generated.) So ... does anyone have any ideas why random spurious characters would show up sometimes like that? I have this same type of setup working flawlessly on a Red Hat 7.3 box. If it comes down to it, I can install Slackware or Debian on this new mail server instead of FreeBSD, but I'd prefer to use FreeBSD as it seems to scale better. (We're doing antivirus and spam filtering on this thing, so scalability is important.) Just hoping someone's ran into / seen this before and can give me a heads up as to how to fix it. I've been pulling my hair out for a few days now recompiling, hacking code, etc. trying to figure out where this is going wrong, with no luck. :( Any ideas? :) TIA, Jeremy :) -- Jeremy Gault [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator / MIS, WinWorld Corporation (v) 4237-473-8084 // (f) 423-472-9465

Re: [vchkpw] weird authentication issue
Peter, Okay, thanks... found it in there. What threw me off is I use authdaemon on my personal RH 7.3 Linux server with several domains and it works like a charm. However, here at work I wanted to use FreeBSD since it can scale better at higher loads, and I ran into this weird issue. But, it's all working now. :) Jeremy Unless the network is lying to me again, Peter Palmreuther said: Hi Jeremy, On Mon, 24 Mar 2003 10:38:51 -0500 Jeremy Gault wrote: Just hoping someone's ran into / seen this before and can give me a heads up as to how to fix it.

[vchkpw] customizing quota messages
Title: customizing quota messages I'm new to the list, however I've searched the archives and couldn't find an answer to this, nor could I find it in the docs, so I think I'm not duplicating a previous question. I run a site where I have users in a dozen or so domains, and need to customize the quota warn messages, not with custom internal text, but to set the reply-to and other header information to reflect the appopriate domain. I'm using vpopmail 5.2.1 with qmail and courier imap/pop. Is this functionality supported in 5.3 or do I need to patch 5.2.1 to support this? Also, if I do patch it and make it flexible, would there be interest in my submitting said patches for inclusion in future versions? I'd really like to see this functionality added, and am willing to do the heavy lifting to get it working, however I'd rather not have to continue to maintain an independent patchset if at all possible.

[vchkpw] About to release new devel version 5.3.20
I'm about to release a new 5.3.20 devel version. Does anyone have any patches they would like to submit? Some differences from the 5.3.19 release 1) copies the vlimits.h file into the vpopmail/include directory. The latest qmailadmin devel release needs the vlimits.h file. 2) New --enable-rebuild-tcpserver-file option to disable rebuilding of that file for sites that use the tcpserver/mysql patch. 3) configure did not display the ldap option at the end if --enable-ldap=y is used 4) new --enable-active-directory option. This is the initial active directory module code to let vpopmail use active directory as an authentication store. 5) new vauth_crypt() api function to encapsulate the normal crypt() function. Active directory servers requrie an active directory call to do authentication. It won't just hand back an encrypted password to use with crypt() 6) replace pw_comp() function with new vauth_crypt() function. Thta's about it. If no one submits patches by end of day Tuesday, I'll release 5.3.20 as is. The plan then is to let Bill Shupp finish up some things before we release a new 5.4.0 stable version in association with a new qmailadmin 1.2.0 release. Cheers Ken Jones

RE: [vchkpw] Re: Best Way To Import cdb to MySQL w/ Alterations
Peter, As I suspected vconvert doesn't lookup the location of vpasswd based on assign or any other file for that matter. It only seems to use the vpopmail home directory. Here is the strace segment that tells the story. 2140 read(3, \377\32\4Table \'vpopmail\' already exists, 34) = 34 2140 open(/sites/home/vpopmail/postoffice/hcx.net/vpasswd, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) 2140 write(1, converting hcx.net domain conversion failed\n, 44) = 44 2140 exit(0) = ? Of course vpasswd isn't located at /sites/home/vpopmail/ on my new systems. It is under the users directory. If vconvert had a -u switch which we could use to designate the user and thus the users home directory I think vconvert would work great. However it doesn't. If there was a -u switch it could default to ~vpopmail thus keeping to typical configuration. Anybody up for a patch?

Re: [vchkpw] customizing quota messages
vpopmail supports custom quota warning messages already. It does the following : looks for a .quotawarn.msg file in the domain's directory (ie vpopmail/domains/domainname) if it cant find on there then it looks in the domain root directory (ie vpopmail/domains) So, all you need to do is create your custom quota warning file (including custom From and Reply-To headers) and place it into the domain's directory and you are right to go.

When I put together the API, I had asked for other wishlist items, which I put into the structures but haven't implemented such as permissions. The quotas, limits, defaults limits, etc. all work fine and have been for quite some time. So I have no idea what you mean that it should do something. The infrastructure is now there for people to implement the items they wished for. If I get spare cycles, I'll look at them, but the areas I use were done a year ago, except for domain quotas which was completed last month. Brian

[vchkpw] no date in quota messages
Is there any way to get the quota messages to include a Date: header, or mention of the date and time in the body of the message? Because currently the quota warnings don't have dates on them and so it's hard to pin point when a users Maildir reached 90%. Also, it would be grand if you could personalise these messages, eg taking the user's real name out of the vpopmail database so they can be addressed by their name etc. Also if you could say Hi Joe, you're using 91% of your 10Mb quota or some such... I suppose one would need to write some scripts to do this? Thanks Jesse

RE: [vchkpw] no date in quota messages
-Original Message- From: Jesse Reynolds [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 25 March 2003 10:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] no date in quota messages Is there any way to get the quota messages to include a Date: header, or mention of the date and time in the body of the message? Because currently the quota warnings don't have dates on them and so it's hard to pin point when a users Maildir reached 90%. That is a good idea. I believe that deliver_quota_warning() in vdelivermail.c would need to be modified to implement this. I think it would only require a couple of lines of code. Hopefully one of the C wizards could add this feature? Michael Bowe (B.App.Sc) Managing Director - Pipeline Internet 96 Pakington Street, Geelong West.

Hi Justin, There are currently ways to limit IMAP. One thing you should remember is that the vlimits API is for full domain limits, not individual users. There are permission bits in the GID field in the password entry for the user. These I believe work. Before actually implementing the API, I sent out a request for all the additional items people wanted to see over and above what I wanted. This way the database schema would only have to be written once, and filled in later. Some limit the qmailadmin app, others go directly into vdelivermail. Others will go into other areas. Overall, I think we have a functional system as is, with placeholders for future features. The wishlist is high, but only so many things can make each release. If you've got the cycles and can crank out some of it tonight, send in a patch. Thanks, Brian
Re: [vchkpw] delete old mails
at least paul said it in a way i could understand: he wants to delete _old_ mail in case new mail arrives but would be bounced if that _old_ mail wasn't deleted. old mail could be mail in the Maildir/cur directory. However, if you retrieve mail but do not delete it from your pop3 account, this could be for a reason, don't you think? If I'm on the road and just check my mail via web2mail.com (or something similar).. I might expect the very important job offer/customer request/. to still be in my pop3 account and not being deleted for some dumb 7mb spam. and even if that 7mb mail was more important than any old mail i still have in my pop3 account: the sender is notified, that i did not get it and may therefor send it again. Pail: if you really want to do this, i think you would have to alter vdelivermail.c yourself, as there is no patch, that i know of. -- Mit internetten Grüßen / Best Regards --- Justin Heesemannionium Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.ionium.org yeah you said that, problem with pop3 that dont change email from unread to read status perhaps from deliveries qmail to hold a couple of day before it said over quota ?? and some notification to user that quota exceded ? i think it wil be nice to user. -- thx onOs

It should contain a check for NO_IMAP, which is part of the flags vpopmail supports per user. The vmoduser command line lets you turn on or off imap access if your preauthvchkpw.c file has that check. The standard courier-imap distribution has had that check in it for quite awhile. KenJones

Re: [vchkpw] About to release new devel version 5.3.20
Brian Kolaski sent in a new patch today for qmailadmin that probably fixes the problem. Execllent! I spent couple of hours hunting for it :-) Myabe it could be good for future releases but I miss one feature: My users wnat to be informed on their mobiles about new mail, so I wrote wrapper script that could be put into .qmail taking a phone number as a parameter but qmailadmin lacks of chance for user to put his number into account details form. I thought it would be nice if during configure run admin could set smtn like --with-wrapper-scripts=/usr/bin/one|/usr/bin/two --with-wrapper-label=Featur e one|Feature two so that in moduser page there were additiona fields labelled corresponding. If filled, qmailadmin would put |/usr/bin/one parameter_from_field_one |/usr/bin/two parameter_from_field_two /home/vpopmail/domains/... This way users could also implement some customized filtering action on their mailboxes. Solt
