[vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail+openldap+qmailadmin in redhat7.3
hi,all i use qmail-1.0.3 + vpopmail-5.3.20(enable-ldap)+ openldap-2.0.27+ qmailadmin-1.0.20 in my redhat7.3. my ldap entry is below: dc=koal,dc=com | -ou=people | - ou=test.com | -uid=postmaster -uid=user1 -uid=user2 there are two problems: 1. when i test the receiving mail from theserver,italways reports: Error: No such objectmatched DN: "ou=people,dc=koal,dc=com"-ERR authorizationfailed Jens ( thanks a lot! Jens) tell me that the query is executed by the "ou=people,dc=koal,dc=com" ,while it should be the "uid=, ou=test.com,ou=people,dc=koal,dc=com" ? but how i can control which type dn query is executed? 2. add user through qmailadmin ,it always report: Email Account [EMAIL PROTECTED] (test1) could not be added, but this user actually has been added ,and its entry in ldap has also been added. i have recomiled the qmailadmin, and upgrade my qmailadmin-1.0.6 to 1.0.20, but this strange situation remains.. i find that there are many combinations of vpopmail+mysql, but the combination of vpopmail+ldap is few. has anyone succeed for this combination ? thanks a lot .

Zitat von lixiang [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi lixiang, sorry for my late responds, I have been off for holiday ;-)) So if you verified your LDAP-Entries that they look like below ( e.g. with gq ) your are fine. dc=koal,dc=com | -ou=people | - ou=test.com | -uid=postmaster -uid=user1 -uid=user2 It may be an access error, please check your settings in slapd.conf and compare them with your compilation in vldap.h BaseDN and Binddn _must_ be correct, because if vpopmail tries to bind via an non existing ldap-user it doesn't see any entries at all.

Title: Message When you say junk mails are coming into the queue, are they relaying through your server? Do you have 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" :allow in your tcp file so that only localhost can relay, but you will accept mail from other hosts? Add your own netblocks in there as well obviously.

For '127.' this variable usually is set, so a script connecting to port 25 from your server to your server usually _will have_ this variable set and therefore would even be allowed to 'relay', albeit sending mails to a domain in 'rcpthosts' and 'virtualdomains' (or 'locals') ain't relaying. If you don't want anybody being able to send messages to your qmail, unless he/she authenticated him-/herself with SMTP-AUTH clear your 'rcpthosts' file. But this _WILL_ prevent your qmail from acting correctly as 'MX', because external SMTP servers trying to deliver messages to your system will, usually, not SMTP authenticate, simply because they don't know how to authenticate on your system. -- Ciao, Pit
[vchkpw] problem with vpopmail/maildrop
Hi
I have installed qmail-1.03 + vpopmail-5.2.1 + mysql. I am using Maildir.
Of course, I have asked already on maildrop list, but nobody answer even where
I can read about solution for my problem.
So, all my users are virtual. I have make .qmail-flylord with next content
|maildrop /home/vpopmail/domains/katastrofa.com/flylord/mailfilter
and mailfiler :
if (/^Subject: *test/)
{
cc [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
And what's happening at my place:
cc is only sending mail to test, but not to flylord. And if filter does not match
mail , than mail is sended not to flylord, but appended to
/var/spool/mail/vpopmail which stand for mailbox of user under which vpopmail is
running. And to more worse, all users are virtual so no mail should be in
/var/spool/mail
Can anyone help me, please, at least tell me where to read about this.

I'm not arguing here, just expressing my ignorance... Why? I currently use things like |/usr/local/bin/spamc | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/username in my .qmail-user files, when i do not want spamc to be invoked for each user in the domain Based on my understanding, vdelivermail has a somewhat deceptive name. Many people (myself included) thought it would just accept the mail and do whatever you requested as the last parameter (bounce-no-mailbox, deleted, directory for delivery, etc.). In reality, vdelivermail uses environment variables set by qmail-local to try to find the appropriate user and deliver the mail to them. It only delivers to the last parameter if it can't find a match. So, as we learned with the 1.0.19 release of qmailadmin, setting up a user fred with a .qmail file containing vdelivermail would result in an infinite loop of vdelivermail calling itself. Here's how: qmail-local looks for .qmail-fred in the domain's directory. Since .qmail-fred doesn't exist, qmail-local delivers the message to .qmail-default which contains vdelivermail. vdelivermail looks for a user fred in the domain's directory. Having found fred, it checks for a .qmail file before just dropping the message in fred's Maildir. Having found a .qmail file, it processes it. The first line of the .qmail file starts with |, indicating program delivery, so vdelivermail sends the message to the program (which is vdelivermail). On the second call, vdelivermail once again looks for a user fred in the domain's directory. Having found fred, it checks for a .qmail file... And we're stuck in a loop. Instead of using vdelivermail, you may need to use maildrop (Jeff Hedlund can provide details on that one) to process the email and drop it in the user's Maildir. It might be helpful to add another program (vstoremail?) to the vpopmail distribution that would accept a message in STDIN and save it to the Maildir specified as the first parameter. Then it would be possible to have entries in your .qmail file like |/usr/local/bin/spamc | /home/vpopmail/bin/vstoremail /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/fred/Maildir/ vstoremail would take care of file locking/naming/etc. and exit with the proper error code. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sniffter.com/ - info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester

[vchkpw] Seamless Integration - Finally Posted - New Look, Feel, and Navigation for Qmailadmin
Hello Everyone, I am writing in response to someone that asked how we seamlessly integrated squirrelmail and qmailadmin using iframes and so a user doesn't have to login to each application after initially logging in. This was a pretty simple task using PHP. Instruction: First we created our administrative shell. This contained a header and a footer in two separate PHP files. Next we created our own login.php file that asked for a username and password. This script included the header.php and the footer.php Once a person submits the login form contained in the login.php page, we use PHP pop functions to authenticate them on our mail servers. If there is a successful authentication, we break the email address apart into 3 variables. The variables are username, domainname, and password. These variable are then added into a session and the users gets redirected to our squirrmail.php login script. Our squirmail.php script includes our header.php script, the line for the Iframe that points to the squirmail login script and our footer.php script. Our header.php script keeps the session running. At the top of the page in the header script we have a navigation bar with 2 icons in it. The icons point to our squirmail.php and our qmailadmin.php scripts. Our qmailadmin.php script is setup exactly like out squirrelmail.php script. It contains the header that keeps the seesion information and a line that includes the Iframe that points to the qmailadmin login script and our footer.php script. The two icons in the header that allow you to switch between the two different application have dtnamic links that get built by the information stored in the session. So basically the username and password get passed through the links when they are clicked. The links are built and populated via the session variables. This all works like a charm. I realize I could have been a little clearer explaining this, but I figure most of you with programming experience should be able to figure it out. I hope this helps. Justin C.
[vchkpw] vpasswd.cdb
Howdy, I'm migrating a customers qmail, vpopmail, etc from BSD to a machine running RedHat 7.3.

But with authdaemond.plain using /home/vpopmail/users/vpasswd.cdb, it doesn't see the changes made because they aren't written to this file.

On Tue, 15 Jul 2003, Tom Collins wrote: Based on my understanding, vdelivermail has a somewhat deceptive name. Odd you just brought that up. I never touched maildrop before and I was putting together a rule for per-user spam filtering (which is now easy to turn on and off due to your recent changes to qmailadamin, thanks!) and maybe because it was late at night, the vdelivermail line didn't catch my eye. I was going with the assumption it was a generic delivery agent, which I later saw it wasn't. I set up a wicked loop, but svscan here is started with sane limits, so after it iterated the loop 10 times or so it stopped. Many people (myself included) thought it would just accept the mail and do whatever you requested as the last parameter (bounce-no-mailbox, deleted, directory for delivery, etc.). Heh heh. In reality, vdelivermail uses environment variables set by qmail-local to try to find the appropriate user and deliver the mail to them. It only delivers to the last parameter if it can't find a match. This brings up another question. Right now my maildrop has an ugly hack to determine the directory. Is there a list anywhere of the environment variables that vdelivermail passes to the next program in line? I'm doing this: VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] That seems so bogus and unnecessary; I'm invoking yet another program making for a total of 6 program startups just to deliver a single piece of mail (original qmail delivery, vdelivermail, preline, maildrop, spamc, vuserinfo). Correct? I need to draw up a map for myself similar to the Qmail Big Picture to make sure I'm getting all this right. Is that homedir value not known by vdelivermail? It seems like it should be there... Instead of using vdelivermail, you may need to use maildrop (Jeff Hedlund can provide details on that one) to process the email and drop it in the user's Maildir. This works well (once you get the homedir location). It might be helpful to add another program (vstoremail?) to the vpopmail distribution that would accept a message in STDIN and save it to the Maildir specified as the first parameter. Then it would be possible to have entries in your .qmail file like |/usr/local/bin/spamc | /home/vpopmail/bin/vstoremail /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com/fred/Maildir/ I think that might be unnecessary. Maildrop (or procmail) should suffice for the final delivery... vstoremail would take care of file locking/naming/etc. and exit with the proper error code. Maildrop should do this too... What do you think? I propose tweaking vdelivermail a bit would be a better use of your time (and I'd love to see you clean up that code like you have qmailadmin, that's a stunning CHANGELOG you've got going). Thoughts?

[vchkpw] vpopmail with mysqlcentralized database

On both of these servers i have running pop3/imap, so i want that pop3/imap will authenticate the users through centralized database. BUt when i compile vpopmail with mysql option then it give errrors vauth.c:1170:subscription value is neither array nor pointer -same two or three line- vauth.c:In function 'vcreate_lastauth_table': make[2]:***[vauth.o]Error 1 make[2]:Leaving directory '/usr/local/src/vpopmail-5.3.14' so can i compile vpopmail with (centralized) mysql support on mail-relay and qmail server. So that on both system pop3 and imp authenticate the user throuhg that centralized mysql database. ANy idea. Thanks Zafar
