[vchkpw] vpopmail bounce-no-mailbox problems
Hello, i need help with this problem: senders do not get notification if they send mail to not existing mail box i use vpopmail with my qmail, and in vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/.qmail-default is written the folowing line: |/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox but it doesn't work - on sending mail to not existed user, qmail log shows: sorry_no_mailbox after that it tires to send (as I think) notification to sender, bet it fails with trouble injecting bounce... message. So I tried the other thing: to redirect any non-existing mailbox to one user so in .qmail-default file i entered the folowing line: |/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/user An gues what? - all undeliverable mails are redirected to this user. So just the bounce-no-mailbox doesn't work Does nayone has any ideas i this one... - I'm desperate, - sender do not receive notification, if they send mail to non-existing users Thank you ICQ: 169434041 _ Seitan end Yvl

[vchkpw] vpopmail+maildrop, sql valias loses mails
Hi! vpopmail 5.2.1+seekable maildrop 1.5.1 (same results with mdrop1.6, 1.6.1, vpop5.3.27) .qmail-default: | preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop mailfilter very simple mailfilter: logfile x import EXT import HOST VPOP=| /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox to $VPOP [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a Maildir. valias [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] comes from mysql table. Out of 10 mails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] usually 4 lose, 6 gets delivered. What should I look for? I debugged what's happening with vdelivermail: It always gets the mail, and looks up the valias. When things okay, it runs a second delivery, but this time to the final Maildir. Sometimes this step missing. More strange: 100% success when an alias comes from dot-qmail file, or when the valias points to a different domain (no matter if local or remote). Leto

[vchkpw] question about exit code of vdelivermail
Hi everybody, I´ve got a question concerning the internal strucutre of vpopmail. I´ve set up a qmail system together with vpopmail ( qmail 1.03 vpopmail 5.2 ). I´m testing with two different domains and everything is working fine for me. What I now wanted to do is set up some kind of simple anti-spam tool to avoid the huge amount of spam in some Maildirs. I tried to get a php script to work ( php script called from a .qmail file ) that sould analyse the mail and in case of spam it should copy it to some destination and then the script should return a exit code to tell the delivery process to stop delivering the message. What I´m not shure is which program does the delivery in this case. The .qmail file ( created with qmailadmin ) resides inside the vpopmail structure of the virtual domain and looks like |/path-to-phpscript/phpscript.php /path/to-vpopmail/domains/virtualdomain1/adress/Maildir/new/ but everytime I send a mail to that adress, the php script tells me that it is spam, it copies it to the sepcial destionation ( so the script works fine to me ) BUT the mail delivery process is not stopped, the mail gets into the Maildir asif my script did not return an exit code. I´ve tried it with return code 99 100 ( according to the .qmail-command manpages and some notes I found on the return codes of vdelivermail ) but nothing happened. So my question is, have I missed something? Which value should my returncode have, the one qmail is expecting or the one vdelivermail is expecting? And why does nothing happen to that delivery process? Thank you for your help! Thomas

Hello everyone, I hope I post to the right mailing list. Somewhere I read sqwebmail plus vpopmail related questions go here. So here it goes: 1) I installed qmail with Life with Qmail 2) I installed vpopmail 3) I installed sqwebmail 4) I get the error message exec: /usr/sbin/sendmail: Permission denied when trying to send mail via sqwebmail.

Re: [vchkpw] question about exit code of vdelivermail
I´ve found the solution myself ... in the ChangeLog it sais that with version 5.2.1 EXITCODE checking for vdelivermail has been put in and I´m currently using 5.2 :( So forget about my question, please give me an answer for this one: Is it save to upgrade from 5.2 to 5.2.1 on an running system? Is there anything I should be aware of or is it just backuping the /bin/ directory and just making the ./configure make make-install ?

AW: AW: WG: [vchkpw] lock account after login failures
Perhaps he did, but locked out CONNECTIONS from that IP for 10 minutes reads differently to me. If Tom had meant what you said, then I would have expected something like locked out authentication attempts from that username/IP pair for 10 minutes. This idea is great, but doesn't work for me, because all traffic passes a proxy firewall (including a esmtp daemon) - so the firewall is the one and only entity which makes a connection to the mailserver... But for others this might be the best solution...! Thanks for the information. about the DoS attack: sure, it's possible to knock somebody out of his mailbox... but i think this is better than if somebody takes it over... Personally i feel much better if i know that my mailbox gets locked before somebody takes my mail away (via pop3) (my opinion) if it happens that somebody starts DDoS this way, i can do the following: - look at my firewall log - find out his (or her's ;) ) IP Address - block the IP(-Pool) - contact the ISP, if it doesn't stop.

The idea is that BCC recipients get copies, but no one knows about it. In all cases, the email program shouldn't include the BCC header when sending. I did use a program (ccMail by Lotus) about 10 years ago that DID actually include the BCC field (which could be quite embarrassing). -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

Re: [vchkpw] Getting vpopmaildir set to something other than vpopmail home dir
Changing the home dir in /etc/passwd during build time still doesn't resolve the problem since the resulting binaries will always be looking for the build dir instead of /home/vpopmail (or whatever the current home dir is set as). For example, I set the build dir to a temporary directory built and packaged the files fine, but once installed, something like vadddomain fails with Error: Unable to chdir to vpopmail/domains/domain directory An strace of this reveals that it's trying to chdir to the build directory which doesn't exist (different machine). This seems to be a very non-portable build method to me, or am I missing something?

[vchkpw] Outlook unable to relay, Kmail can...
I've got Qmail/VPopmail (5.2.1) running on a Slackware 9 box and I am unable to relay outgoing messages from any of our Windows/Outlook clients. However, I can relay from the Linux/KDE/KMail clients... I've gone over the Outlook 2000 settings again and again, and I've also tried using Outlook express. Searches on Google haven't turned up much yet but I am still looking... I have also confirmed that I am not using SSL or any other secure auth for SMTP... I can't remember if I configured with --enable-roaming-users=y but I did find a #define POP_AUTH_OPEN_RELAY 1 in the config.h file which suggests that I did (that and the fact that everything works fine on the Linux boxes). I have set this server up by carefully following the steps outlined in The qmail Handbook by Dave Sill and I have tried in good faith to solve this on my own but I'm running out of ideas fast and could really use a push in the right direction this time... My only thought is that the Outlook clients are failing to auth on send and qmail defaults to the rcpthosts file... If I add the target domain to rcpthost and try again from the Outlook client, it works - but, of course, this is not at all the solution... David Benson Real Networks

This seems to be a very non-portable build method to me, or am I missing something? You are correct, it is not very portable. Should the code be updated to look up ~vpopmail instead of using a hard-coded pathname in the binaries? The various tools need to know the full path to the vdelivermail binary, the /etc directory and the domains directory. Note that if someone performs an install, runs for awhile, and then tries to change the home directory, they'll run into numerous problems (because the expanded ~vpopmail path is in users/assign, all .qmail-default files, and intertwined in ezmlm configuration files). I would like to improve on vpopmail's portability as much as possible. If anyone can make recommendations (or even better, submit tested patches), we'll try to integrate them into future releases. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/
