[vchkpw] Vconvert / converting / migrating woes....
Alright, thanks for the tips on vconvert - I have, in the meantime, found out that it is one of the worst documented utilities. Heck, not even inter7 has a decent man page for it. I think that vconvert -c -m domain.name will do the trick, though (or just vconvert -c -m for all domains). That's where the present 'rub' is, though. The scenario: - I have the new server, set up with qmail-toaster, and vpopmail 5.38, qmailadmin 1.06. All configured for mysql. - I have data from the legacy server, with standard cdb files in the vpopmail configuration without mysql. So, while obviously I can just drop over the content of /home/vpopmail/domains into the new location, that doesn't really convince qmail to see any of those domains, and consequently vconvert doesn't see them either. So: - what else, besides dropping the content of /domains/ in place, do I need to do / copy over from the prior installation in order for the domains to be recognized by qmail, qmailadmin, and hence vconvert? Thanks, Harry

You also need /var/qmail/control/* and /var/qmail/users/* And make sure the uid and gid in the /var/qmail/users/assign file matches the uid and gid for vpopmail and vchkpw on the new server.

[vchkpw] vpopmail 5.3.23 segfaults when adding domain
Hello, list, I could not add a domain with vpopmail 5.3.23. I have installed vpopmail 5.3.21 on a test server and upgraded to 5.3.23. The whole thing worked properly, and I decided to do a new installation with different compile options. I deleted the whole thing under /home/vpopmail, cleared all /var/qmail/users/assign entries (and qmail-newu), cleard all /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts entries and /var/qmail/virtualdomains entires. Then I deleted the vpopmail 5.3.23 source tree, and extracted it once again from the tarball. Configure, make, make-install suceeded with the compile options like following: ./configure --enable-clear-passwd=n --enable-logging=y --enable-roaming-users=y Finally I tried to add a domain, then I got the segmentation fault after entering the password for postmaster account. I went over the delete thing again and fell back to 5.3.21 with the same configure options; everything worked properly. --- Tohru Kobayashi [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Rudi, Here is the base way of doing it without any data. mysqldump -d DATABASENAME backup-file.sql You can read this back into MySQL with: mysql DATABASENAME backup-file.sql Check here for more options for mysqldump: http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/mysqldump.html Scott Helms On Mon, 2001-07-30 at 09:20, Rudi Ahlers wrote: I know this is not entirely an SQL mailing list, but how do I dump only my database table layout?

[vchkpw] why my vpopmail can not set default domain ??
I set a qmail, vpopmail server with vpopmail-5.3.23. and config it as: ./configure \ --enable-roaming-users=n \ --enable-logging=p \ --enable-defaultquota=20971520S \ --enable-ip-alias-domains=n \ --enable-domainquotas=y \ \ --enable-passwd=n \ --enable-clear-passwd=y \ \ --enable-mysql=y \ --enable-incdir=/usr/include/mysql \ --enable-libdir=/usr/lib/mysql \ --enable-many-domains=y \ \ --enable-auth-logging=y \ --enable-mysql-logging=y \ --enable-valias=y \ --enable-mysql-limits=y there is only one domain now in this box -- testmail.com and my box's hostname is mx.testmail.com and my cat /var/qmail/control/defaultdomain mx.testmail.com cat /var/qmail/control/me mx.testmail.com cat /var/qmail/control/locals mx.testmail.com and the result of dns check #dig mx testmail.com testmail.com. 31506 IN MX 0 mx.testmail.com. but, later, after adding the first domain, with command #~vpopmail/bin/vadddomain testmail.com I found no matter what I do to change /var/qmail/control/defaultdomain with testmail.com or mx.testmail.com, I only can do login pop3 account by full name, for instance, [EMAIL PROTECTED], but not the postmaster and I DO not know what is wrong with it, and I ever setup vpopmail with vpopmail-4.9.10, all is okay, and this is the first time using vpopmail-5.3.23, and is there something wrong with the configure?? or some control file in ill-usage?? any help is appreciated Thanks advanced.

Re: [vchkpw] Conversion to mysql..?
And btw, I don't do responses to TDMA or tdma type systems :) So you'll have to get your answer from the list. Just curious - why do you not 'do responses' to TMDA systems? Well, I may not be Rick Macdougall but I'll tell you why I don't... because it's a pain in the ass! It adds extra traffic, and it's a pain to send an e-mail only to get a response back saying you need to jump thru some hoops in order to get the e-mail to the intended person. On a list, you're often replying to someone out of kindness (ie: answering their questions free of charge) so to be asked to do extra work is kind of bad form. Most importantly, if you are a business and you work with new clients all the time, they WON'T take kindly to the whole reply thing...even if they only have to do it once. You NEVER want to put a client thru extra crap just to communicate with you. My opinion: it's an interesting idea...that should never be used in a professional environment. But then again, that's just me :) Jeremy

Harry Zink wrote: Well, being in the same boat, I simply set up a rule/filter which responds to TMDA challenges with an automatic response, and files the challenge/response/confirmation away.

Probably not. What pop server are you using? Qmail's popper or the Courier popper? How are you starting the popd? What are the errors the user gets when using pop? Is it because I have to apply a patch or something?? Is it because you either have to log all the time with IMAP or POP3 and not both?? Probably not, you should be able to use both imap/pop at the same time, Maildirs should not have a problem with that at all.

[vchkpw] could vpopmail prevent against password guess now?? password-nuke??
I just install the latest version vpopmail + courier-imap, I found there is good ability to check password guess through check the table vpopmail.vlog in mysql. but is there a function of vpopmail to disable the connections of such cracker's IP for minutes to protect account security?? or other ways?? and is it possible to configure courier-imap with same ability??

[vchkpw] vconvert woes...
Yep, it doesn't end
So, I have the legacy data all brought over.
Made sure I have /var/qmail/users/*, and /var/qmail/control/*
Of course, also brought up all the /home/vpopmail/domains/*
Now, when running vconvert -c -m
I get a bunch of domains that claim to have converted, and a bunch of
domains that haven't converted (even though they claim '...done!'), and a
bunch of domains that won't convert as they claim to have an error ('you
have an error in your sql syntax At line 2').
When looking at the domains that did not carry over with phpmyadmin, the
'bad' ones show up as 1.0k in size, and nothing to browse.
But even those that claim to be 'good' don't have all users in the schema,
and are obviously missing some essential datas (when checking them out with
qmail-toaster, or qmailadmin (qmailadmin will simply refuse to login with a
'file permissions error /path/to/domain/postmaster/Maildir/1059630555.qw')
I did make sure that all files have the vpopmail:vchkpw ownerships, and same
permissions as on the prior server.
Any ideas...?
