Re: [vchkpw] Compiled FreeBSD 4.8
Hi Raymond From memory you have used my webmail server guide to install your vpopmail system If this is the case, and you now want to convert to using roaming users, then I suggest you will need to do these steps : * mv /etc/tcp.smtp* /home/vpopmail/etc * editthe file /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run and change the references of : /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb to be : /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb * edit the file /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl and change the references of /etc/tcp.smtp* to be /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp* * qmailctl restart * optionally download a copy of vpopmail-5.3.24 or later (I would recommend you do this) * delete your previous vpopmail source dir *extract your vpopmail source *configure --enable-roaming-users=y plus any of your other config settings make make install-strip * In the /home/vpopmail/etc/ dir, you should now see the tcp.smtp.cdb file auto-updating each time someone successfully pop auths. Dont forget to crontab the clearopensmtp script to run periodically Dont forget that you then need to also rebuild any other apps that use the vpopmail libraries eg qmailadmin * go to your qmailadmin source dir * make clean * ./configure (with your preferred options) * make install-strip courier-imap * go to your courier-imap source dir * make clean * ./configure (with your preferred options) * make install Michael. - Original Message - From: Raymond Luong To: vpopmail list Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 7:40 AM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Compiled FreeBSD 4.8 Please HelpI recompile vpopmail with --enable roaming=y-- but it still does not work.

[vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + maildrop + sqwebmail + qmailadmin + vqadmin
It's been a long long time since I last looked at this stuff, but I really want/need to implement it. 1 - qmail - is simple. 2 - vpopmail + maildrop - this is where i am now (again). As I recall it, my problems went something like this: A. I had to mkdir courier when building maildrop to get it to read MAILDIRQUOTA from the environment. B. I had to write some shell scripts to wrap maildrop for the actual delivery, basically to take the place of vdelivermail. Right now, I'm not sure why, but I think it was in order to get quotas working properly; setting the MAILDIRQUOTA, HOME, and DEFAULT environment vars. In the end, they call maildrop -d vpopmail .mailfilter I had to patch vpopmail to use these scripts instead of vdelivermail. C. I had apparently patched vdominfo to add a -A flag to display domain aliases. D. I had apparently patched vpopmail to not allow one to delete a domain if there were aliases for it. Anyway, it's been a long time since I really looked at this stuff. The last version of vpopmail I looked at was 5.3.3, and the last version of maildrop I looked at was 1.3.8. I just looked at the changelog for maildrop up to 1.6.0, and I see that there was some work on the quota handling, so I might not need my shell scripts anymore. Basically, I'm looking for any pointers for getting vpopmail, maildrop, and sqwebmail working together nicely. I'll be using MySQL on the backend for vpopmail, and (of course?) Maildirs for storing the email. Thanks in advance.. -- Casey Zacek Senior Engineer NeoSpire, Inc.

Casey Zacek writes: Basically, I'm looking for any pointers for getting vpopmail, maildrop, and sqwebmail working together nicely. Since it's been a long time since you've looked at it, you will probably be surprised to learn that sqwebmail now supports the generation of maildrop filter files. When used as part of the Courier MTA I believe that they integrate seamlessly. When used with vpopmail they don't integrate at all. The vpopmail and qmailadmin teams are still deciding the best way of handling things. I posted one workaround here a week or two ago that patches vdelivermail in a way that means nothing else has to change and, more importantly for me, qmailadmin can be used as is to administer domains. That is especially important to me now that the newer versions of qmailadmin allow more ways of controlling what happens to mail for unknown users (delete, bounce, drop in nominated maildir, forward to external mail address) - I didn't want to lose any of that functionality. As for quotas, I don't know. They're not something I've had to play with because we prefer to permit clients to go over quota so our accounts department can send them a nice mail saying their options are to delete old mails or pay us for additional disk space. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support

RE: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + maildrop + sqwebmail + qmailadmin + vqadmin
Not quite sure how your setup is.. but I finally got maildrop/vpopmail working for me by using a version of vpopmail that has the seekable patch and putting a .qmail file inside each user's directory who wants a spam filter. It has worked out beneficially for me because the spam filter can now be set on a per-user basis instead of a per-domain basis when I was doing it through .qmail-default. Quotas seem to work just fine with both maildrop 1.3.8 and 1.6.0, I haven't really noticed a difference. It supposedly ignores the MAILDIRQUOTA variable now and just reads the maildirquota file, but I haven't removed the MAILDIRQUOTA variable from my maildrop script either. Haven't seen a need for it, system is performing just fine and I doubt removing that line would make a very notiacable different. A thing to note about the .qmail method inside each user's directory is that vpopmail hands the message off to maildrop and maildrop then acts as the delivery agent in place of vpopmail. The other cool thing about having it on a per-user basis is that I don't need to worry about people clobbering their .qmail-default file with qmailadmin. Hope that helps some.. -Clayton -Original Message- From: Casey Zacek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 8:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + maildrop + sqwebmail + qmailadmin + vqadmin It's been a long long time since I last looked at this stuff, but I really want/need to implement it. 1 - qmail - is simple. 2 - vpopmail + maildrop - this is where i am now (again).

I don't think it's vpopmail that's dropping it into that file. It sounds
more like mail is being delivered to the vpopmail user on your local
system. What does qmail have for it's double bounce account (run
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-showctl to see) and also what does your
/var/qmail/alias directory look like.. more specifically the .qmail files
inside it.

[vchkpw] vpopmail and qmailadmin
Hello, Does vpopmail analyze the qmaillimits all of the time or do you have to do something to enable it? Because as I disable permissions (disable_pop for example) they are often ignored. I am able to set the qmailadmin limits (using the mysql version and the flat file verion) but it doesn't seem to work the way I thought. I have set the disable_pop to 1 and the disable_webmail to 1 and the disable_relay to 1 and I don't see any difference in how it acts. The users in that domain can still receive pop mail, use webmail, and relay. Am I missing something here? Thanks for any help in understanding this. -Steve

RE: [vchkpw] vpopmail and qmailadmin
Not sure if things have changed in recent versions, but after changing the setting on the domain I had to change it for each user as well. -Clayton -Original Message- From: Steven Job [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 9:59 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] vpopmail and qmailadmin Hello, Does vpopmail analyze the qmaillimits all of the time or do you have to do something to enable it? Because as I disable permissions (disable_pop for example) they are often ignored. I am able to set the qmailadmin limits (using the mysql version and the flat file verion) but it doesn't seem to work the way I thought. I have set the disable_pop to 1 and the disable_webmail to 1 and the disable_relay to 1 and I don't see any difference in how it acts. The users in that domain can still receive pop mail, use webmail, and relay. Am I missing something here? Thanks for any help in understanding this. -Steve

I have been running vpopmail 5.3.16 before but i made a clean install today just wiping everything. I´ve got a mail mirror so it´s no problem. But it´s strange that when i add a domain vpopmail automaticaly adds 89:89 and not vpopmail:vchkpw but it´s the later that works I set it up today with the latest vpopmail. //Tobias - Original Message - From: Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vpopmail list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 9:52 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Problem with latest release of vpopmail 5.3.26a On Thursday, August 28, 2003, at 12:43 PM, Tobias wrote: I solved it with setting the permissions for the domains in the assign file to vpopmail:vchkpw and not 89:89 as it was before but after that i got a problem saying Not_allowed_to_perform_deliveries_as_root./ What is the output of `id vpopmail`?

Like the uid and gid of the vpopmail user? Also, please test with 5.3.25 instead of 5.3.26 first, as it could help us isolate bugs. There were a LOT of code changes (and chances to introduce bugs), but no new functionality added between 5.3.25 and 5.3.26. Even better, try a clean install with 5.3.16 and make sure it's all working, and then try to upgrade to 5.3.25 or 5.3.26.

Yes it is possible, and many people do it. Please refer to one of the excellent toaster documents out there on installing all of the components of a mail server.

Hi Jesus, warning: trouble injecting bounce message, will try later - Wrong permissions on qmail-queue? - qmail partition mounted nosuid? - Resource limits too low? - Queue corrupt? In general, this doesn't seem to be vpopmail-related; please consult the qmail list for further assistance. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Entourage for Mac/Qmail Error
Hi Adam, Now he gets the error: Mail error. The server is busy. Suggestions? Insert recordio into your qmail-smtpd run script and see what the client actually sends to the server, and what happens. If nothing shows up in the log, use tcpdump or any equivalent low-level debugger to find out what data is actually transmitted. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] /etc/shadows -
Hi José,
How can i convert /etc/shadow to a vpasswd file type.??
Use a shell script like...
#!/bin/sh
for U in `awk -F : '{ print $1 }' /etc/passwd` ; do
echo -n $U -
/home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]
done
This won't convert the passwords; however, as most users will use these
passwords over unencrypted connections like POP3 or IMAP4, it's a good
idea to force them to use different passwords for mail than for, let's
say, SSH connections.

RE: [vchkpw] Can not get vpopmail to enable roaming support
Hi Raymond, I didn't change the tcp.cmtp to tcp.smtp.cdb. I simple link my /etc/tcp.smtp to ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp and made the file 777 so any program can write to it. You simply try fiddling around, ending up with world-writable files and symlinks. Hey, this is Unix, stop acting helpless. If you don't understand the thing, hey, this is no problem, but you should understand things first before trying to run an MTA. 1) tcp.smtp and tcp.smtp.cdb are not identical. tcp.smtp is a text file, while tcp.smtp.cdb is a constant database. 2) The actual tcp.smtp.cdb will get compiled by vpopmail, from the contents of tcp.smtp and open-smtp. 3) --enable-tcpserver-file=xyz needs a path to tcp.smtp, not a path to tcp.smtp.cdb. 4) The vpopmail cannot write new files to /etc, but only to /home/vpopmail/etc. Now vpopmail and qmail is sharing the same tcp.smtp file. qmail never reads tcp.smtp, only the tcp.smtp.cdb file, which is in turn build from tcp.smtp and open-smtp. vpopmail never writes to tcp.smtp, it only reads it. Now, here's your todo list: Please remove all symlinks first (as everything is actually messed up). Move your /etc/tcp.smtp to /home/vpopmail/etc (as vpopmail cannot write to /etc); it contains your _static_ relay rules. Rebuild with --enable-tcpserver-file=/home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp (as vpopmail needs to know where the tcp.smtp resides). Change the qmail-smtpd run script to use /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb instead of /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb (as the tcp.smtp.cdb is now there). Now you're done. Check your maillog for successful POP3 logins. Check /home/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp for newly generated entries. Check /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb for its date to see if it gets updated after a successfull POP3 login. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Some help needed [Off-topic]
Hi Tanmaya, Below is out of ps command on our mail server. Can anyone help me figureout is this any malacious attempt. The processlist doesn't tell us. 1) You have logs; look into them. If you don't understand them, show them to us. 2) Look into the message files (/var/qmail/queue/mess/*/*) to see what the actual contents are, to judge if there's a spammer on the machine or you allowed a spammer to relay.

[vchkpw] domain limits not applying to users
On Thursday, August 28, 2003, at 07:47 AM, Steven Job wrote: I am able to set the qmailadmin limits (using the mysql version) but it doesn't seem to work the way I thought. I have set the disable_pop to 1 and the disable_webmail to 1 and the disable_relay to 1 and I don't see any difference in how it acts. The users in that domain can still receive pop mail, use webmail, and relay. Proper support for domain limits are still under development. The code exists in vpopmail 5.3.25 and 5.3.26 but has been temporarily disabled due to the following problem: If vpopmail applies domain limits onto the user's limits, and then you make any change to the user (even changing the password), the user will inherit the current domain limits. So, for example, if you temporarily add a domain limit of disable_webmail for some reason, and one of the users in the domain changes their password, they'll still have disable_webmail set even if you clear it for the domain. We're working on a solution, but we're not sure of the exact implementation. We either have to change all bits of code that check whether a user has access to do something, or change all bits of code that could modify a user's account information. My guess is that we need to change the pwd structure to have a user limits and effective limits fields, then go through an update everything that checks limits to use the effective limits field. Take a look at http://sourceforge.net/tracker/ index.php?func=detailaid=795688group_id=85937atid=577798 for continued discussion of this issue. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://sniffter.com/ - info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester
