[vchkpw] vpopmail-5.4.0-rc2 - Mysql valias not working
I just compiled and installed vpopmail-5.4.0-rc2 with mysql support for users and aliases. Using the valias command the mysql valias table is not being created and populated. the vpopmail, lastauth and dir-control tables seem OK. Here's the configuration report: vpopmail 5.4.0-rc2 Current settings --- vpopmail directory = /home/vpopmail uid = 89 gid = 89 roaming users = OFF --disable-roaming-users (default) password learning = OFF --disable-learn-passwords (default) md5 passwords = ON --enable-md5-passwords (default) file locking = ON --enable-file-locking (default) vdelivermail fsync = OFF --disable-file-sync (default) make seekable = ON --enable-make-seekable (default) clear passwd = ON --enable-clear-passwd (default) user dir hashing = ON --enable-users-big-dir (default) address extensions = OFF --disable-qmail-ext (default) ip alias = OFF --disable-ip-alias-domains (default) domain quotas = OFF --disable-domainquotas (default) auth module = mysql --enable-auth-module=mysql mysql replication = OFF --disable-mysql-replication (default) mysql logging = ON --enable-mysql-logging mysql limits = OFF --disable-mysql-limits (default) MySQL valias = ON --enable-valias auth inc = -I/usr/include/mysql auth lib = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz system passwords = OFF --disable-passwd (default) pop syslog = log success and errors including passwords --enable-logging=v auth logging = ON --enable-auth-logging (default) all domains in one SQL table = --enable-many-domains (default) Am I missing something or is mysql valias support broken?

[vchkpw] Courier-imap + vpopmail-5.4.0-rc2 + Roaming success
Just letting the list know that I have managed to get the roaming users working with the vpopmail-5.4.0-rc2 and courier-imap-2.2.2.20040118 version of courier on a redhat 7.3 box. I noticed a post earlier saying that valias in MySQL wasn't working, however all of mine are working still as they did before. My compile time options for vpopmail were: ./configure --enable-rebuild-tcpserver-file=n --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-defaultquota=20971520S --enable-auth-module=mysql --enable-file-sync=n --enable-mysql-logging=y --enable-learn-passwords=y --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-valias=y --enable-mysql-limits=y --enable-logging=v --enable-relay-clear-minutes=15 My courier options were: ./configure --with-trashquota --without-authpwd --without-authshadow --without-authpam --without-authuserdb --without-authcram --without-authldap --without-authmysql --without-authpgsql --without-authcustom --without-authdaemon --disable-root-check --with-redhat At first compile with vpopmail-5.4.0-rc1 I was getting the problem with the formatting of ip addresses in the relay table such as :::111.222.333 being put into the table. After a compile and install of vpopmail-5.4.0-rc2 and a make clean, configure and make/make install of courier again, all is working as expected. Shane

[vchkpw] autocreate and autodelete?
I saw vpopmail 5.4.0 has fixed an autocreate feature. I didn't even know it was possible. The question is. I understand that the autocreation creates the user directory if it encounters a record in the auth db. But what can I do if I want to delete a user and it's dir without having to run vdeluser? -- [] Mauricio Teixeira - Maceió/AL/Brazil [] * Este e-mail serve apenas para listas!!! * [] * This e-mail is for mailing lists only!!! *
RE: [vchkpw] autocreate and autodelete?
There is a tool called vdeloldusers that can be used to delete users who havnt accessed their mailbox in xx number of days. eg: */5 * * * * /home/vpopmail/bin/vdeloldusers -a 360 -e -D /dev/null 2 /dev/null runs from crontab and tells the tool to delete users that havnt auth'd in the last 360 days.

Two questions: 1) Does this patch effect custom .qmail-default files? Or any other .qmail or .mailfilter files? No .qmail files are effected. vdelivermail calls the spamc program instead of having a .qmail file call spamc. 2) I saw on a previous post that spam filtering can be disabled for a specific user, but what about for an entire domain? There is no mechanism to turn off a whole domain except setting the NO_SPAMFILTER flag for each user. Nor is there a method for automatically having it turned off when a new user is added. We migth want to use the next bit flag in the pw_gid(pw_flags) field to enable automatically deleting the email if hit the email is marked as spam. Ken Jones

I've just upgraded to current RC and got quite a load (about 9-10) caused by vdelivermai and vmstat suggests that I got IO bottleneck now. Besides I see lots of vdelivermail running and every mail spends now lots of time in a queue, even when it is local. Any ideas, please? Solt PS Ken, sorry about two copies of this mail.

Re: [vchkpw] Courier-imap + vpopmail-5.4.0-rc2 + Roaming success
Hi Shane: We weren't able to get the MySQL alias table to be created and populated by ./valias commands. The only significant difference in our configuration was that we did not use mysql-limits.

Re: [vchkpw] Re: spamassassin patch ready ahead of schedule
Hi Ken: Is this going to be coordinated with qmailadmin? Currently we use qmailadmin to add some mail filtering code that calls spamc. Qmailadmin also has the Spam Detection enable box at the bottom. Will the patch interfere with this. We also, store the user spam prefs in a MySQL table - will this continue to work? Also, will this patch now allow spam filtering of mail delivered to remote forwards?

Well, if you like how your system works now, then don't use the --enable-spamain change. On Tuesday 20 January 2004 10:01 am, Jeff Koch wrote: Hi Ken: Is this going to be coordinated with qmailadmin?

No, if you like how things are working now, dont use --enable-spamassassin with vpopail. We also, store the user spam prefs in a MySQL table - will this continue to work? Sure. Also, will this patch now allow spam filtering of mail delivered to remote forwards? Yes, but not if the forward is done with a .qmail-user file in the main directory, since qmail-inject will be forwarding it. But if it's a users .qmail file then it will filter it.

[vchkpw] Problem with vchkpw
I have a Debian (Woody) system and it is running shadow passwords. I have qmail installed and woking just fine. I did a basic install (no config options) for vpopmail. Everything installed fin but when I change my /etc/inetd.conf file to this pop3 stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup email.byesville.net /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir (all one line) I cannot authenticate any users on the system popping mail or loggin gon to a webbased email system. What am I missing on the install for vpopmail. I shouldn't have to create a virtual domain for my local system and it should authenticate properly like before. Please corrrect me if I am wrong. I have created a virtual domain and two users on that domain and it still doesn't work.
