Re: [vchkpw] SMTP relay Problem

[vchkpw] Migrating to new server
I am currently running qmail+vpopmail and have a newly built server running qmail+vpopmail+ezmlm-idx. I created a script that simply does the vadddomain , vadduser (with password) in order for each domain name. I look at the account with vuserinfo to check if everything work correctly. All accounts were added successfully and passwords were applied with each account. All qmail control files were populated correctly. Everything looks great. Change the ifconfig for both machines to swap IP address and reboot both. Both machines boot up correctly with the correct ip addresses and all qmail and vpopmail services and running fine. Except when I try to check my email, the authentication fails stating that my password was rejected. Again, checking the account with vuserinfo reveals that the password is correct. Any ideas?

If you don't have that luxury, I think you can use smtproutes on the old server to force it to relay the mail to the new server.

Re: [vchkpw] Help with
Hi Rafael
If you are copying files directly into peoples
maildirs, then for sure the quota counts will be out of whack. (The quotas
counts are generally updated during message delivery by the vdelivermail
program)
You can leave the quotas files alone alone and over
time they should sync back to the correct counts. This might confuse your users
though in the short term (as you have already seen)...
Alternatively you can delete all the user's quota
files and then next time each user receives some mail, their quota file will be
recreated with the correct value.(This might not be a bad option for you,
because if you go into squirrelmail for a user who has no quota file setup, then
the quota plugin doesnt even display itself.As soon as the quota file is
recreated then the quota display will magically appear again). Heres the command we have used in the past to zap all the
quota files :
find /home/vpopmail/domains -name 'maildirsize' | xargs -i
--verbose rm '{}' 21
When we migrated a couple of years back from our
old Windows-based mail server to our vpopmail server, we pulled all existing
mail across by using a script that ran the "fetchmail" program for each user.
This program retrieved the existing mail via POP3 and inserted into the Linux
mailbox for deliveryvia SMTP. This worked pretty well for us, and also
prevented any problems with miscounted quotas etc.
Hope that helps
Michael.

Hi All,
I've currently setup a webmail server using
redhat+qmail+apache+courier-imap+php+vpopmail+squirrelmail through the help of
Michael Bowe's Webmail Howto (thanks mike!). Everything is working fine as
well as the squirrelmail plugins that I have installed. The only problem I
have right now is this ,, I'm supposed to migrate all our old mail server's
emails (w/ attachments) coming from our old mail server which uses visualmail
(emails are stored in mySQL DB) and I have created a perl script to do is. The
script actually recreates all emails based on a given template using all
necessary mail headers stored on the mySQL DB and moves the recreated emails
to each users mailbox under vpopmail's home directory. The problem is that
after moving the emails to each users mailbox, I noticed that the quota_plugin
(quota usage bar) no longer reflects the correct quota usage. So in the event
that a user deletes his/her emails, the quota usage bar shows a negative
value. Is there anything I need to do in order for the quota plugin to detect
the emails? Can I reset the quota plugin so that It will be back to zero usage
if I deleted all the emails?
Thanks in advance,
Rafael

RE: [vchkpw] CDB -- MySQL Migration Questions
Dear All, Thanks to the prompting of Wouter Prins, I figured out how to do the conversion. This is just a simple HOWTO on how to upgrade from CDB to MySQL. Firstly, upgrade to Vpopmail 5.2.1. Compile with the learn-password option and let it run for a week / two. By then, your system should have authenticated all your users, and you can run vconvert -c -m. Bingo, everything works fine.

The following are my Vpopmail's config.h PS_COMMAND ps ax ENABLE_PASSWD 1 HAS_SHADOW 1 TCP_FILE /etc/tcp.smtp ADMIN [EMAIL PROTECTED] USE_CDB 1 SQWEBMAIL_PASS 1 SITE_SIZE 0 LOG_NAME vpopmail HARD_QUOTA 2000 VPOPUSER vpopmail VPOPGROUP vchkpw APOP 1 APOP_FILE /etc/apop-secrets QMAILDIR /var/qmail VPOPMAILDIR /var/vpopmail VPOPMAILUID 512 VPOPMAILGID 507 POP_AUTH_OPEN_RELAY 1 OPEN_SMTP_CUR_FILE /var/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp OPEN_SMTP_TMP_FILE /var/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp.tmp OPEN_SMTP_LOK_FILE /var/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp.lock TCPRULES_PROG /usr/local/bin/tcprules DEFAULT_DOMAIN mydomain.com Recently, I installed Horde + IMP + Sork. Sork allows users to change their Vpopmail passwords inside IMP. However, one of the requisites is that Vpopmail must be compiled to use MySQL instead of CDB files. Since I'm using CDB files, I must convert. I setup a test machine with vpopmail-5.2.1 using CDB authentication in office and tried to upgrade. I did the following steps in an attempt to convert. [EMAIL PROTECTED] vpopmail-5.2.1]$ make clean [EMAIL PROTECTED] vpopmail-5.2.1]$ ./configure (with orig options) + --with-mysql=y [EMAIL PROTECTED] vpopmail-5.2.1]$ make [EMAIL PROTECTED] vpopmail-5.2.1]$ make install-strip [EMAIL PROTECTED] vpopmail-5.2.1]$ vconvert -c -m It tells me done for everything. However, when I tried to login using POP3 access, my password was wrong. Only when I changed the user account's password then did the login work. Somehow, I feel that the vconvert program does not convert encrypted passwords correctly, or totally do not convert at all. As such, I would like to ask if there is anyway to convert encrypted passwords from CDB - MySQL? Otherwise, can anyone suggest any good way for me to integrate any password changing mechanism into Horde + IMP? Regards, David Choo

I had thought of this too, but doesn't the learn-password option mean that everybody's POP acounts are completely unprotected until each user has logged in? -- Lou Hevly Manresa, Catalonia http://visca.com

Re: [vchkpw] VPOPMAIL 5.3 release

I don't know where you get March from, either, as 5.3.20 devel was released 4/10/2003 according to the Inter7 devel web site. I've been running 5.3.20 for several weeks on a cluster with good success, so it is likely quite deployable and probably not too far off from the 5.4 stable release. Ken Jones collected vpopmail patches about two weeks ago, but hasn't released 5.3.21 yet. I'd wait to check the ChangeLog of 5.3.21 to see whether any of the patches fix known bugs, or are just for new features. We are pushing for a stable release of both vpopmail and qmailadmin soon. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [vchkpw] Missing library fileL libvpopmail.so.1
Hi Pit, First: _PLEASE_ don't CC me. I'm reading the list, as _everybody_ posting here does. Apologies. Smack on hand accepted. Hit 'reply all' instead of just 'reply'. Didn't realise I'd done it, don't normally do it, will watch I don't do that again. How's that? ;-) Are you sure the '/usr/sbin/vchkpw' resutls from your compile operation? No, it doesn't. Well, than why do you use it? :-) Don't ask me, ask the system! It chose to to do it, not I. Besides, you know what tends to happen if you force things sometimes .. maybe I should just get nasty and delete them? Well ... give it a try. Replace '/usr/sbin/vchkpw' with '/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw' in your POP3 startup script and report back if this solved your problem :- First thing I thought of actually, and as it happens already the case. So where the reference is, I don't really know.( I dropped tcpserver temporarily, and pasted the code into inetd.conf ) # below an entry for vpopmail pop3 stream tcp nowait root \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ qmail-popup mail.extras.co.uk \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d \ Maildir Is it maybe catching the first entry in the $PATH?? BTW: anybody able to tell my why this particular version of vchkpw is linked against 'libm', 'libssl', 'libcrypto' and 'libdl'? Good question. FYI, I used - ./configure --enable-mysql=y --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-valias=y --enable-mysql-replication=y --enable-incdir --enable-libdir --enable-domainquotas which gives: Config result with no debian packages in .. -- vpopmail 5.2.1 Current settings --- vpopmail directory = /home/vpopmail uid = 89 gid = 89 ip alias = OFF --enable-ip-alias-domains=n (default) address extentions = OFF --enable-qmail-ext=n (default) roaming users = OFF --enable-roaming-users=n default user quota = OFF --enable-defaultquota=NOQUOTA default auth module = mysql --enable-mysql=y mysql replication = ON --enable-mysql-replication=y table optimization = many domains --enable-many-domains=y default system passwords = OFF --enable-passwd=n default file locking = ON --enable-file-locking=y default file sync = OFF --enable-file-sync=n default disable vdelivermail fsync auth logging = ON --enable-auth-logging=y default mysql logging = OFF --enable-mysql-logging=n default clear passwd = ON --enable-clear-passwd=y (default) valias processing = ON --enable-valias=y pop syslog = show only failure attempts --enable-logging=e default default domain = --enable-default-domain= auth inc = -I/usr/include/mysql auth lib = -Lyes -lmysqlclient -lz Cheers, Chris. __ Do you Yahoo!?
