[vchkpw] Vpopmail + Courier-imap as non-root
Ok, so I'm installing qmail + vpopmail + courier-imap. Everything almost works. But I'm stuck at getting courier-imap to do SMTP-relaying via vpopmail's --roaming-users. According to the FAQ: 2. Courier-IMAP doesn't detect roaming users in the vpopmail library correctly, so force it by doing something like this just before compiling: export CFLAGS=-DHAVE_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY 3. compile courier-imap with --without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw 4. Make sure you run your imap server as the same user as your pop server (so open-smtp and tcp.smtp have the same ownership). man couriertcpd for details, but you will change /usr/lib/courier- imap/libexec/imapd.rc something like this: Change this line: /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd -address=$ADDRESS \ To: /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd -address=$ADDRESS \ -user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw \ So I do all of this by the book. Now, courier-imap doesn't work if I add the -user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw directives to imapd.rc (as in a vpopmail user can't authenticate). According to /var/log/messages: Jul 11 00:53:33 hoss authdaemon: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied If I remove the -user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw directives from imapd.rc, of course, the vpopmail user can authenticate via imap, but simply cannot relay through SMTP. I assume that I get the s_connect() simply because the permissions to something aren't right. But I haven't a clue as to what that could be! Everything in /home/vpopmail is correct... I'm stumped. If I can't figure this out, I'll have to go back to POP (which I have successfully got to do roaming-users as per the documentation, and works perfectly), which sucks because I really want to use IMAP exclusively. Does anyone here have a courier-imap + vpopmail (+ mysql) + qmail setup working properly in this fashion? What am I missing? Thanks, -Josh

[vchkpw] Changing from vmailmgr to vpopmail
Hi everybody, I am currently running a server with about 80 domains and about 30 users. The server runs qmail+QMAILQUEUE+SMTP-AUTH+TARPIT, vmailmgr, daemontools, dnscache, Squirrelmail 1.4, qmail-pop3d, courier-imap, and sslwrap for POP3 and IMAP. I also have Spamassassin and F-Prot included via Qmail-Scanner. I additionally have several 'script' aliases (for example sending a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] will cause a specific script to be executed as the user who owns 'domain.foo', where XYZ counts as a kind of password for this trigger). Most users have several domains which I just created as aliases in the qmail configuration. I have now been hit hard by spammers (some idiot spammer has been using my domains as Return-Path for a week and I get about 20.000 Undeliverable, Please confirm and YOU F*CKING SPAMMER!11!! mails a day(!). I want my users to be able to use TMDA for their domains and I would like a user-friendly interface for this. Now, using vmailmgr, I get the impression that most of the add-ons that are desinged for virtual users are made for vpopmail. qmailadmin for example. Also, I get the impression that vpopmail is much more widely used. So: - Am I correct? Is it a good idea to switch to vpopmail? - Can I use vpopmail and still have my users read their mail with 'mutt' locally if they want? Some of the users have SSH access. I understand all mail will be handled by the 'vpopmail' user, that might present a problem. - Does vpopmail allow some domains to be excluded and just be forwarded to eg. /home/jens/Maildir/? (I don't need my own domains to be split up - I just use a couple .qmail files for @jensbenecke.de). - Is there a package of vpopmail that does not put everything in the vpopmail home directory? I have /home mounted 'noexec,nosuid,nodev' (for security) and I'm not about to change that. Binaries go in /usr/local/bin or somewhere IMHO ... Thank you! -- Jens Benecke ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

Re: [vchkpw] Changing from vmailmgr to vpopmail
Hi, The short answer is Yes. Vpopmail will be able to do everything you want described below including using different system users for some domains. The long answer is to read the FAQ and documentation for vpopmail and qmail. You will most likely have to compile vpopmail yourself to get the binaries installed in a different location.

[vchkpw] Using custom domain directories
I made a posting a few weeks about this and didnt' get a reply... so here's another shot. When I create a domain and set a custom directory (for the domain) of a users directory (ie: /home/user/domain.com/mail), you'd expect mail to go into that folder (and user accounts to be created as /home/user/domain.com/mail/username). However, it then creates a 'domains' directory within that folder. Is there any way to have it accept whatever directory I choose as the directory to add files to? I know I can move the directory manually and then update /var/qmail/control/users, however I'd of course like to avoid that and have this done right. otherwise, maybe we need a documentation update to properly describe how this works. Personally, I'd like to see the option to just use the directory I specify rather than creating a directory within it.

Re: [vchkpw] Using custom domain directories
I should note more on what I'm referring to. comments in the vpopmail.c source state... directory to put the files is one of the arguments. this is the files, not the domain. the vadduser usage output states: sets the dir to use for this domain.
