Re: [vchkpw] auto create dir for spam email

2004-03-07 Thread Frankie Wong
After I success to set automatically add spam directory by qmailadmin-hooks,
I try to set automatically delete any user.pref file in the data directory
of squirrelmail when del user in qmailadmin. However , error message appears
in qmailadmin when del user:

Error 8 Where the parameters are: /home/vpopmail/bin/deletedata.sh,
deluser, test, test.com.hk, , Content-Type: text/htm

My setting of qmailadmin-hooks are as follows:

.qmailadmin-hooks:

adduser   /home/vpopmail/bin/addspamdir.sh
deluser/home/vpopmail/bin/deletedata.sh

/home/vpopmail/bin/deletedata.sh:

#!/bin/bash
USERNAME=$1
DOMAIN=$2

if [ -e /var/www/data/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]; then

   /bin/bash -c /bin/rm -rf /var/www/data/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
fi

The problem seems not come from the script because it still appear even if I
remark all in deletedata.sh

Any suggestions ?

Regards,

Frankie


 It works after I change the apache user from apache:apache to vpopmail:vchkpw.

 Regards,

 Frankie

 If you have .qmailadmain-hooks in either the /home/vpopmail/etc or
 /home/vpopmail/domains/domain_name/ directories and the ownerships are
 right then it should be working.

 Unfortunately I don't know a good way to debug this.

 Is there anyone else on the list who works with the hooks who can help?

 Thanks,
 Barry

 Yes, sure both .qmailadmin-hooks and make_dirs.sh are owned by
 vpopmail:vchkpw and mode of make_dirs.sh is 755.

 .qmailadmin-hooks seems not work and not execute make_dirs.sh even I
 insert something into make_dirs.sh like this:

 touch /tmp/test

 but nothing is created in /tmp.

 Since I direct use qmailadmin, not the plugin to squirrelmail, I think
 apache user is not related to this issue, right
 ? How can I know or Is there any way to create a log for me to inspect
 such kind of error ?

 Best Regards,

 Frankie

 Hmmm. Since all the file locations are the same it is probably a rights
 issue.

 Make sure that .qmailadmin-hooks and make_dirs.sh are owned by the
 correct user and group. In many cases that would be oner vpopmail and
 group vchkpw.

 Also, my http server is not running under user apache but as user
 vpopmail. This was necessary in order to run the vmailadmin plugin in
 the Squirrelmail webmail client. It may be the reason it runs easily on
 my server.

works on our system.

Hi,

qmailadmin has hooks that will allow you to send info to other
 places
when you add, delete or modify a user. Read the document
/var/src/qmailadmin-x/README.hooks for details.

Basically, it'll tell you to create a .qmailadmin-hooks file, what to
put in it and the various places you may want to place the file.
 Make
sure that .qmailadmin-hooks has the correct user and group ownership,
 too.

I use it to call a bash script.  It could probably also call
/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin/maildirmake.

If you want my script file let me know.

[vchkpw] vpopmail 5.2.2 minor auth problems

2004-03-07 Thread Matt Darcy
Hi all,

I built a vpopmail on qmail system for the first time in a long time. I'm 
using netqmail 1.05 and vpopmail 5.2.2 (for the first time)

I have only a few domains and a few accounts per domain so nothing complex.

I have tested domain1 and users on domain one, and mail downloads ok - no 
problems there. 

An interesting issue with this is on the account is that I telnet 127.0.0.1 
110it goes like this


Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OK
pass 123456
+OK

-ERR unimplemented

So the user is authenticated - and it looks ok but I get this error -ERR 
unimplemented - its not a big deal as the account is working. I am just 
trying to understand the problem


I also have another account on testdomain2.co.uk which has the same problem

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OK
pass 123456
+OK

-ERR unimplemented

Again this does not worry me, but when I connect to this account using a pop3 
client (outlook 2003) the test account button works it logs in and all is 
well, but when I try to download mail via a pop3 connection I see error 
authenticating you against your pop3 server

I AM using the same password as above - so it should be working as this 
authenticates ok.

These are my 2 problems.

Any comments or advice on debugging them would be appriciated. 

thanks,

Matt

[vchkpw] Have I screwed myself?

2004-03-07 Thread Chris Miller








Simple question: Have I screwed myself, and is it going to
be possible to setup true multi domain hosting coming from what I have?



My current setup is qmail + Checkpassword with the MySQL patch
(from http://iain.cx/qmail/mysql/). It
works great, but there is a major flaw with it. Lets say I setup an account
to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] and another at [EMAIL PROTECTED]. If I send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED], it will get to their
mailbox. It should bounce, but it does not  that is BAD. By using vchkpw,
would that solve my problem? But how do I go about moving my current accounts in
MySQL to work with the new schema of vchkpw? Also, is moving to vchkpw going to
break my SMTP AUTH patch that I also use?



Thanks,

If you get that error message, then you aren't running 1.2.1.

Find your qmailadmin binary (in the cgi-bin directory) and delete it.  
In your web browser, go to the qmailadmin URL and make sure you get a 
page not found error.

Now, make and install 1.2.1.  That error string was removed during the 
1.2.0 pre-releases.

And yes, you can use 1.2.1 instead of 1.2.0.

Yes if you use vpopmail + the chkusr patch, you can prevent 
those messages from ever reaching the queue of your mail server. Im not 
familiair with a qmail + Checkpassword with the MySQL patch 
setup, so you may need to recompile qmail to get it all working nicely. See a 
few of the howto documents like

 If you are new to this, i do suggest you try out vpopmail 5.4.0,  its

you completely ignored the question just to say to use vpopmail 5.4.0

It's completely normal.  Try issuing a real pop3 command, such a LIST,
or RETR messagenumber

This really has nothing to do with vpopmail, as once you've
authenticated it's all qmail-pop3d, and it certainly isn't a problem.

mandrake has a daemon that likes to change permissions under your feet.

There should be no reason to have to run apache as the vpopmail user.

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail 5.2.2 minor auth problems

the problem is he's submitting a blank line to qmail-pop3d.  My

do the same thing, one is using straight djb checkpassword, and the
other is using vmailmgr.
Thanks for pointing this out, Jeremy.

Vpopmail 5.2.2 is still a good release.  I doubt you could say that 
5.4.0 works better (and I'm not sure what X-Istence based that 
statement on).  For anyone who has been happy running 5.2.1, I 
recommend 5.2.2.  Anyone running a 5.3.x release really should consider 
upgrading to 5.4.x.  We fixed a lot of bugs from that series, 
especially in the last few months leading up to 5.4.0.

[vchkpw] Moving everything to a new server

2004-03-07 Thread Don Walters
I would like to move everything from one server to another.  I have
installed mysql, vpopmail, qmail, and a bunch of other services on the new
machine.  Now all that remains is moving my vpopmail database over to the
new server.  Since this database is pretty big, I don't want to create all
of those tables again, so I'd like to just copy everything over.
I have tried copying over all the stuff from /var/lib/mysql/vpopmail over to
the new machine.  I have also copied over all the domains under
/home/vpopmail/domains, and also copied over the stuff under
/var/qmail/control and /var/qmail/users but it's still giving me vpopmail
user not found errors when I try to authenticate with a mail client.
I have run mysql login commands manually to be sure it's not a login problem
to the mysql server.  The file /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql was also
copied over.
What am I forgetting?  Is there a better (cleaner) way to do this?
