[vchkpw] What should the permisions be of $vpopmail and below
Hello all, I am having a bad day at the moment, so I have a few questions which I'll post in multiple mails. My first question is does anyone have good details of what $vpopmail_home should be on my system it is /home/vpopmail and as I understand it should be 740. I then changed /home/vpopmail/domains/.qmail* to 640 (so the sticky bit is not set) this looks a little messy if any one has an "offical" permissions tree that would be great. Thanks, Matt.
[vchkpw] howto debug a pop3/vpopmail problem
Hello again, by bad day continues and now its time for question 2. I have vpopmail working with qmail-pop3 daemon I have a problem "logging on" to the pop3 server with vpopmail, however I cannot find any usefull information in the log file (it just says connection made) @40003f091cde0ad85ff4 tcpserver: pid 1022 from 10.11.216.11@40003f091cde0ad8f07c tcpserver: ok 1022 0:10.11.216.13:110 :10.11.216.11::2027@40003f091cde0b9ae0ec tcpserver: end 1022 status 256@40003f091cde0b9af85c tcpserver: status: 0/40 I have tried connecting with Ms Outlook express and MS outlook XP and I get 2 similar error messages (helpfull from Microsoft ) First out look express There was a problem logging onto your mail server.

[vchkpw] unsuscribe
[vchkpw] forward not working under vpopmail
Hi I am trying to solve my problems with vpopmail for days, but it just don't work. Cause I thought that some qmail patches are making problems, I installed qmail again, but without any patch, and I installed vpopmail following instructions. And just to mention that I am working on Slackware-8.1 and mysql-3.23.56, qmail-1.03 and vpopmail-5.2.1 Before instaling vpopmail I check qmail and it is working just as it is supposed to, also MySQL is working. I confgiure vpopmail like this: ./configure --prefix=/home/vpopmail --enable-auth-logging=y --enable-mysql-logging=y --enable-logging=e --enable-default-domain=katastrofa.com --enable-mysql=y --enable-valias=y --enable-defaultquota=20M I create user admin with pass secret in mysql and put it in vmysql.h. And of course I check this user, and it is working. I grant to that user access to all databases with all privileges create database vpopmail make make install-strip After that, I have no table in DB vpopmail, so I had to create them manually. But never mind. I create domain katastrofa.com and users: flylord, root, test, postmaster, anonymous I start qmail-send, qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3 with daemontools as it is written in docs, and it is working. I can send mails, I can check and view mails via pop3. Than, I create file /home/vpopmail/domains/katastrofa.com/.qmail-flylord : [EMAIL PROTECTED] and when I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], forwarding is not working. Just to mention that no dot-qmail file is working. Vpopmail just don't process those files. Thanks in advance Ilic Aleksandar

Re: [vchkpw] RE : [vchkpw] Deny on bad username?
Use Bill's version if you're using his MegaPatch. Otherwise, look at the reference page for chkuser at www.interazioni.it/qmail. The unique difference (at the moment) is that Bill solves a bug of auth patch modifying chkuser, while in the reference page of chkusr it is indicated how to eliminate the bug directly in the auth code.

[vchkpw] Forwarding....
Ok so after wading through documentation that didn;t document so very damn well, and the snide remarks from a few people on this list and suffering through the whole It was hard to write so it should be hard to use attitude this works for forwarding. The following assumes a standard Qmail install on Linux, a standard install of Vpopmail. Standard install will create: /home/vpopmail/domains Within the domains directory a sub-driectory for each domain you put onto the system is created it: New Domain = MyNewDomain.Com So you will have the following directory structure: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com for the obligitory postmaster you will have: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/postmaster within the above you will have /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/postmaster/MailDir within Maildir you will have three directories: new, cur tmp *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= THE DEFAULT FORWARD *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Create a user for the domain MyNewDomain.com, ie: 'info' and you will have: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/info/MailDir within Maildir you will have three directories: new, cur tmp within the directory: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com execute the ls -all command and you will see the file '.qmail-default'. This file handles all e-mail comming to this domain that has no valid destination. The contents of this file are: | /home/vpopmain/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce To make all e-mail without a valid destination in MyNewDomain.com go to a specific user, replace the word 'bounce' with the fully qualified address of the person you want it to go to.

If I want to forward ALL e-mail for the user 'info' to my hotmail address I would use a text editor such as pico since its very simple to use and execute the following command: pico /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/.qmail-info Then add the following to the file: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Save the file and I have just created the forwarding rule for the individual user. = end
Re: [vchkpw] Re: forward not working under vpopmail
The only thing I would add to this is the following: KEEP ROOT THE HELL OUT OF EVERYTHING! Root is a special user, you should only log in as root under the most extreme circumstances. Create a user name for yourself, assign the rights you need to administer your system to yourself, and leave root out if it. Novell even those idiots at M$Soft get this. NEVER EVER use the account that has *** ALL *** the keys to the kingdom for anything except when aboslutely required, especialy in E-MAIL.

RE: [vchkpw] Forwarding....
I didn't follow your thread before, but this is all elementary qmail configuration. What was the problem? Are you familiar with qmailadmin, because it does all of this for you through a compiled CGI GUI (soon to be PHP-based, with a little luck). -Original Message- From: Bill Sappington [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 07, 2003 11:10 AM To: 'vpopmail list' Subject: [vchkpw] Forwarding Ok so after wading through documentation that didn;t document so very damn well, and the snide remarks from a few people on this list and suffering through the whole It was hard to write so it should be hard to use attitude this works for forwarding. The following assumes a standard Qmail install on Linux, a standard install of Vpopmail. Standard install will create: /home/vpopmail/domains Within the domains directory a sub-driectory for each domain you put onto the system is created it: New Domain = MyNewDomain.Com So you will have the following directory structure: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com for the obligitory postmaster you will have: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/postmaster within the above you will have /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/postmaster/MailDir within Maildir you will have three directories: new, cur tmp *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= THE DEFAULT FORWARD *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=* Create a user for the domain MyNewDomain.com, ie: 'info' and you will have: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/info/MailDir within Maildir you will have three directories: new, cur tmp within the directory: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com execute the ls -all command and you will see the file '.qmail-default'. This file handles all e-mail comming to this domain that has no valid destination. The contents of this file are: | /home/vpopmain/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce To make all e-mail without a valid destination in MyNewDomain.com go to a specific user, replace the word 'bounce' with the fully qualified address of the person you want it to go to. This can be ANYONE! Inside or outside your domain.

[vchkpw] Vchkpw Password fail in sys log after run-parts
Running qmail 1.03 Vpopmail Vchkpw... In my syslog, I am getting frequent vchkpw: password fail [EMAIL PROTECTED]:IP] Specifically, every 5 minutes, and after a cronjob run-parts goes. It's only one virtual domain (out of three), but for all users and aliases for that domain. I know the user, and he is set up to check all these users in his client. Am I missing something obvious, like he's leaving his client open, and it's checking every 5 minutes, and the run-parts is clearing a cache? (He's never actually been prevented from logging in, from what I can tell). Thanks, Rick Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. (Charles Schultz)
[vchkpw] vdeluser and User does not exist
I'm running qmail and vpopmail version 5.2.1 on a FreeBSD 4.6.2 server. I don't think this was always the case, but right now I can't delete virtual accounts with vdeluser, it always gives this error message: vdeluser: error deleting user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]': User does not exist vdeluser: 1 errors were encountered. vpasswd likewise does not think that the user exists. vmoduser, however does. It's the only way I can change the password.
RE: [vchkpw] info for installations...
Does anyone have the link that was going around the list for the installation of vpopmail, imap, spamassassin etc...? Thanks, http://www.jerfu.com/toaster/FullToaster_1.0.6.html http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htm Regards, MB

And of course I check this user, and it is working. I grant to that user access to all databases with all privileges create database vpopmail make make install-strip After that, I have no table in DB vpopmail, so I had to create them manually. But never mind. I create domain katastrofa.com and users: flylord, root, test, postmaster, anonymous I start qmail-send, qmail-smtpd and qmail-pop3 with daemontools as it is written in docs, and it is working. I can send mails, I can check and view mails via pop3. Than, I create file /home/vpopmail/domains/katastrofa.com/.qmail-flylord : [EMAIL PROTECTED] and when I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], forwarding is not working. Just to mention that no dot-qmail file is working. Vpopmail just don't process those files. Thanks in advance Ilic Aleksandar
