well, i have this from the source (bigdir.c).
it looks like the maximum of users/domains per directory is 100 (it's
defined in vauth.h : MAX_USERS_PER_LEVEL 100)

so, i assume, in your case, you have at least 173 different system users

[vchkpw] User has no password error
I have a new qmail+vpopmail install using mysql as the backend for virtual users. I have compiled vpopmail 5.3.24 with --enable-learn-passwd=y, yet when adding a virtual user with the command, vadduser -n emailaddress, the user is not allowed to login to the pop server. I get the error in the mysql vlog table that the user does not have a passwd set. As a side note, this is now a clean re-compile of vpopmail, prior to this, no error or log entry would appear in the vlog table if the user had no password set, but user that were added with a password would authenticate fine, and appear in the log table. I have setup systems very similar in configuration a number of times, and do not remember fighting this issue. Any help or guidance is appreciated.

Re: [vchkpw] Outlook unable to relay, Kmail can...
Antonio, sorry to be closing this thread so late but I wanted to make sure that it got done... Problem resolved (and better understood)... I took Nick's advice and added recordio to get some additional logging... The Linux clients were going through my ISP while the Windows clients where trying to SMTP-AUTH against my QMail server... Of course, the QMail box wasn't patched to support smtp-auth (why isn't this in by default!!??) so the authentication failed... Since I know which subnets I want to allow, I updated the tcp.smtp file and re-generated the cdb version of it and everything worked... For the sake of my own sanity, I tried to relay from another subnet and it failed (so no open-relay!!)... I still need to investigate why my Linux clients are bypassing the QMail server when sending - but that is a topic for another day and another mailing list... In conclusion, my problem had nothing to do with this list (sorry) - but thank you very much to everyone who tried to help!! The Linux community rocks! -David On Sunday 05 October 2003 03:51, tonix (Antonio Nati) wrote: At 03/10/03 03/10/03 -0700, David Benson wrote: Tonino, I have the Linux mail clients configured exactly the same as their Windows counterparts... But your question got me thinking and retracing my install steps (again) and here is something that I thought of: I didn't do the SMTP-AUTH patch when I compiled. That considered, shouldn't everything fail to send? Or does the latest QMail have the ability to handle smtp-auth natively? No, SMTP auth is never installed by default, but it depends by which patch are you using. If you installed Bill's megapatch, AUTH is installed. Anyway, if clients have addresses authorized to relay, they will relay. So, again, my question: - are Linux and Windows clients in the same subnet? - did you check the addresses authorized to relay? what your '/etc/tcp.smtp' says? Tonino I'm going to try Nick's suggestion of using recordio to see what is being sent, maybe that will turn up some clues...

My Linux-based users report no problems, all is fine. My Windows-based users can check their mail but cannot send it. The log reports nothing wrong. The error reported by Outlook is the standard one about the domain not being listed in rcpthosts... This has really got me baffled because the behavior is not consistent.
