Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail smtp-auth struggles
John-Mason P. Shackelford wrote: Greetings all, I have been fighting a problem with vpopmail the smpt-auth patch for several days now and feel a little lost and beaten down. I use Netscape 7.1 to connect to my email account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and use 'admin' as the username. I can retreive messages without difficulty. When I attempt to reply, Netscape prompts me for a password. I supply the same password I used to retreive email. After some churning, I am presented with the password dialog again. Hi, I don't know if this applies to you but older Netscape clients required % instead of @ as the separator between username and domain name. ie george%somedomain.com instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Regards, Rick

[vchkpw] Problem with account (dialup)
Hi folks, I've a problem with my vpopmail (now is 5.3.30, but I had the same problem on 5.3.20). When a specific user (ex:lsiro) of domain1.dom connects himself via dialup on my pop3 server, I receive a message error in console: user [EMAIL PROTECTED] (when IP is the dialup IP) not found. But the user donwloads his mails correctly. The problem is: I've [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Why? Misconfiguration? Mistake? Thanks for all Regards Andrea

[vchkpw] welcome.msg patch submitted to vpopmail.sf.net patch manager.
I've cleaned up my welcome.msg patch to vpopmail-5.3.30 and posted it on vpopmail.sf.net. It adds a vsendwelcome() function to vpopmail.c and a call to it at the end of vadduser(). Also included are README.welcomemsg and a welcome.msg.dist file which is just a placeholder right now. I've cleaned it up and added per-domain welcome messages. Please note that if you apply this patch to vpopmail you will need to relink vqadmin and qmailadmin for these changes to take effect. It hasn't been extensively tested. If you give it a try and notice problems or have comments please let me know. -- Yermo P.S.

Re: [vchkpw] welcome.msg patch submitted to vpopmail.sf.net patch manager.
I don't have a need for that myself since my users will not be allowed to edit the welcome message. But, I was thinking about it. patch qmailadmin to allow editing of the per-domain messages and vqadmin for the system-wide one. I would certainly be willing to do that but let's wait to see if they like the patch enough to include it in the main vpopmail distribution. If they do and would accept qmailadmin/vqadmin patches from me I'll go ahead and do the work to add an admin screens for it; if they don't I'd be stuck updating the patch for each release which is something I don't have enough time to to do. -- Yermo Trey Nolen wrote: What do you think about a patch to qmailadmin to allow editing the message?
