[vchkpw] Valias and maildrop/vdelivermail, and valias bug?
Hi,
I have been pondering this problem for a few days now and can't seem to
find a solution. I am trying to implement per user spam/virus prefs
using maildrop as the delivery agent. It is all working apart from two
problems, aliases ad catchall.
Maildrop script (partial):
VPOP=| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
# Get home directory to deliver to
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# If it wasn't a valid user, deliver again with vdelivermail
# in case it is an alias
if ($RETURNCODE != 0)
{
to $VPOP
}
The problem is that if I put 'to ! catchall' in the if statement it
will bounce for aliases (because vuserinfo doesn't check if the email is
an alias). I could run valias -s email but the valias exit code is
always 0 even if it is an invalid alias.
So, does anyone know how to make catchalls and aliases work nicely with
maildrop?
Also, I think I found a bug in valias (w/ MySQL). If I run the following
commands this is what I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -s cat.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -i [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -i [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Error: alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] already exists.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -i [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Error: alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] already exists.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -s cat.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
valias won't let me add any more than 1 alias to the domain or so it
seems. The valias table shows:
mysql select * from valias;
+---+-++
| alias | domain | valias_line|
+---+-++
| dog | cat.net | [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
+---+-++
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Cheers,
Jonathan
[vchkpw] vdelivermail EXITCODE problem
Hi everybody, yesterday I asked you if there is a problem in vdelivermail of handling EXITCODEs in .qmail files and I discovered that in my installed version 5.2 no checking of the EXITCODE was possible. So I upgraded to the last stable version 5.2.1 whereas the changelog said that within 5.2.1 the EXITCODE checks would be performed. Now over the night I discovered that a script started within a .qmail file before the deliver-to-Maildir instruction and returns an EXITCODE of 99 or 100 ( which value is not important ) the delivery of that mail is interrupted ( not stopped as it sould be ) BUT the mail stays in the queue and the queue starts delivering mail again and again. What I´m trying to say is that one single mail has been delivered about 200 times that night and everytime the script told vdelivermail to end the delivery and everytime the mail stayed within the qmail queue to be delivered some time later. What I now want to know is if there must be another EXITCODE so that vdelivermail definetely kills that mail processing or if this is a bug in vdelivermail and I should upgrade to something higher ( i read in the changelog that several fixes to the EXITCODE thing have been made in 5.3.x but this versions are to be devel-state and I´m wondering if I should use devel-software on a running system. Thanks for your help! Thomas

Feucht, Florian writes: 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... We have many clients behind firewalls. They too would suffer from a simple block on an IP address. 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... I think it's a close call. The difference between somebody deleting your mail before you can read it and somebody blocking your access day after day is small. Yes, if they can delete your mail they can also read it, which may be a bigger problem, but being unable to read your mail is bad enough. As I said before, there are ways to greatly reduce the chances of somebody getting at your mail. Give your mailbox a randomly-generated name and use an alias to deliver to it. Then it doesn't matter how weak your password is because they'll be trying [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is something that you can do right now, although it is a pain to administer. Maybe vpopmail and qmailadmin should be extended so that there is an option to create random mailbox names with aliases (to avoid name collisions the random mailbox names would have to have to start with an underscore or something like that). 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. That was a workable solution three or four years ago. These days the script kiddies use distributed DoS attacks using hundreds of computers thay've managed to install backdoors on. You could spend every minute of your life blocking IP addresses and still not be able to pick up your mail. A tarpit is a two-edge sword... -- Paul Allen Softflare Support

Re: [vchkpw] vdelivermail EXITCODE problem
Something to look at: it seems to stand out in my memory as ive had this same problem, but i dont recall a resolve for it.. basically if you are having the same problem i was, then you cannot have anything in your .qmail processing fork.. it must continue to run in the foreground or the mail will keep re-spawning.. one day i ended up with 900 mysqld's running due to vdelivermail-maildrop-mailfilter. and it only seemed to happen when called by .qmail files. if you are doing any processing in .qmail files, make sure they do not get backgrounded or forked.. i think the man pages for either vdelivermail or qmail-command will have more info about this.. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 30, 2003 4:09 AM Subject: [vchkpw] vdelivermail EXITCODE problem Hi everybody, yesterday I asked you if there is a problem in vdelivermail of handling EXITCODEs in .qmail files and I discovered that in my installed version 5.2 no checking of the EXITCODE was possible.

Jeff Koch writes: Is there any way to use the commands in /home/vpopmail/bin to setup domain catch-all accounts? When I was stuck with this problem quite a while ago I just wrote a bit of perl to do the job for me. As others suggested in another thread, it was smart enough to ask for domain, postmaster password and then repeteadly prompt me for alias domains until it got a blank line as input, then it called vadddomain (and vaddaliasdomain if necessary) and wrote a new .qmail-default file to set the catchall to deliver to the postmaster's maildir. In newer releases of vpopmail, vadddomain has a -e e-mail_adress option. If there is an @ in the address you specify then it sets the catchall to forward to that address; if there is no @ then it sets the catchall to deliver to a Maildir of that name in that domain. However, beware that using -e to set the catchall to a maildir does NOT create that maildir (unless you set it to postmaster, because it creates the postmaster maildir anyway). I think it would be a good idea if it did create the maildir (if not set to postmaster) as well as creating the postmaster maildir. -- Paul Allen Softflare Support

I just changed it to do so in the CVS repository, and it will be in 5.3.28. So, does anyone know how to make catchalls and aliases work nicely with maildrop? Also, I think I found a bug in valias (w/ MySQL). If I run the following commands this is what I get: That's a known bug (#807935). I caused it when adding the feature to check for existing aliases. It's fixed in the CVS and will be in 5.3.28 (to be released sometime this week).

RE: [vchkpw] vpopmail 5.3.27 + mysql
I know this may sound redundant or silly but check your permissions on qmail-pop3d and the vckpwd binary. Maybe your permissions on those files are the problem. Cuz by the looks of what you sent in email so far you have done it right. It's gotta be something stupid. Yes, tcp.pop3 file is for pop3 auth. Just a little extra precaution. I believe the qmail-pop3d runs under root. What version of MySQL are you using? -- Regards, Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysqld -v mysqld Ver 3.23.40 for pc-linux-gnu on i686 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d -rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 26k Sep 25 15:54 qmail-pop3d /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 51k Sep 30 11:04 vchkpw* -- I've tried several options in the pop3d run file, as per official instructions, instructions on this email list etc. #!/bin/sh VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 300 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -v \ -u$VPOPMAILUID -g$VPOPMAILGID \ -c100 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup judah.khouse.org \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 300 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver \ -H -l judah.khouse.org -v \ -c 100 -R 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup judah.khouse.org \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 #!/bin/sh VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail` exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l 0 -R -H -v \ -u$VPOPMAILUID -g$VPOPMAILGID 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup judah.khouse.org \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 - None of them seem to change it. What is the tcp.pop3.cdb file for? Is it an IP permissions file for popping email? Also, what user/group should qmail-pop3d run under in order to validate users correctly? Thanks, Russell

The problem is that the client receive they ip address dinamically when they connect with dialup or ADSL. Is there away to block and IP address dinamically, when they sent more than a xx numbers of email. Any suggestion are welcome. Thanks in advance Jesus Bernardo Ruiz Flores I personally use qMail-STMPD with auth patch, that way they have to auth before they can send mail thru my SMTP server.
