[vchkpw] Re: Move to new server
Hello Kit, On Monday, March 15, 2004 at 2:45:37 AM you wrote (at least in part): Here is what I plan on doing: vadddomain each domain on the new server Stop qmail-smtpd on the old server Stop POP on the old server rsync domain directories from old-new Change DNS so new server responds on old servers name What about - vadddomain - change DNS for A records pointing to new IP - 1 * * * * /usr/local/sbin/sync_the_two ,- [ /usr/local/sbin/sync_the_two ] | #!/bin/sh | PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/bin | nmails=`qmail-qstat |tr -d '[a-zA-Z0: \n]'` | if [ -n $nmails ]; then | exec rsync $PARAM | fi `- this way you'll not have any downtime of your services, have no problem with existing queue and have all mails on the new server. The worst that can happen is somebody getting a/some mail/s twice when - you rsync - they first POP3 using old IP (their DNS might not have reflected the changes at this point) - they POP3 again but this time use the new IP (their upstream DNS updated it's cache, e.g. because expire was reached). This risk can be minimized by using '--delete' parameter for rsync, as this should delete files not existing at $old, as long as the rsync call is between the two POP3 sessions. If you care to much about twice fetched messages stop SMTP and POP3 /after/ you changed DNS and before you rsync first time, this'll keep outage at a minimum. Nevertheless rsync regularly, moving the queue over can be a PITA as qmail is quiet picky about the queue structure. A minimum of difference between the two systems and the queue might be corrupted. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther To a dog his owner is Napoleon; hence their popularity.

[vchkpw] reinstall of vpopmail
I had to reinstall vpopmail 5.2.1 and now I am having various problems with my setup. I can log in to existing mailboxes and most of them get mail. Some of them don't though. If I erase and recreate them they work again. However, forwards are not at all working anymore. I can create them, but they don't appear, and worse, old ones do not work and the mail is not bounce, but blackholed somewhere. Any advice, this is a big problem here... I'm using vpopmail with mysql Thanks Chris
[vchkpw] dial-up authorization with vpopmail
Is there anyone using vpopmail as backend for a dial-up authorization system? Any tip/suggestion on which could be the easiest way to configure a RAS server asking to a vpopmail backend? I'm evaluating freeradius, thinking to let it use the vpopmail MySQL tables, but I'ld like not to be tied to MySQL, as I'll probably migrate to LDAP; so I'm wondering if anyone has ever developed some custom code for vpopmail. Thanks for any suggestion. Tonino [EMAIL PROTECTED]Interazioni di Antonio Nati http://www.interazioni.it [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How about a cron'd script to extract from your MySQL/LDAP to populate FreeRadius's user tables? Is there anyone using vpopmail as backend for a dial-up authorization system?

RE: [vchkpw] reinstall of vpopmail
I'm sorry, this is resolved. I had a DNS issue so the mail was not forwarding properly. Thanks anyway though.

Re: [vchkpw] Using qmail-smtp-auth with vchkpw
Hi! I am running netqmail-1.05 + vpopmail 5.4.3 + qmail-scanner 1.20st + SpamAssassin + Clamuko (ClamAV) + QmailAdmin. I patched netqmail with the Patch 'netqmail-1.05-tls-smtpauth-20040207.patch' to get ESTMP functions. Is there a better way to do this? AFAIK, you must run qmail-smtpd as the vpopmail user, see below for what works for me. Now my Problem is that if i change uid / gid to vpopmail i get a 451 tempory qq failed. So it tried with changing permissions of vchkpw and using Qmail's uid/gid or also qscan uid/qid. Now i could not authenticate with correct username / password through client (SMTP). Webmail (SqWebmail) works fine. POP3 works also fine. In the log files (smtpd/log or qmail/log or mail) i can't find any entry correspondending to vchkpw-smtp... I tried for almost a whole week to find anything in faq or google... Without success :( Any Ideas what i can do more? Thanks! M.

[vchkpw] Weird problems
I reinstalled vpopmail 5.2.1 and now I am having some problems with qmailadmin and sqwebmail. Qmailadmin (1.0.6) will add email accounts, but cannot add alias/forwards. It appears that it works, but the forwards don't appear. Additionally, sqwebmail does not work properly. Users log in and in the upper right, they see [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of their correct domain name. They can see their messages, but cannot delete/move them. However, some users do see their correct [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Those users can use their mail normally. I can find no rhyme or reason to who can and can't do this. If I erase their account and recreate it, the problem goes away. Thanks, Chris

Like i prefer to not delete anything over 4, but delete anyting higher than 8. If we delete anything marked as spam, it would delete at level 4, which is not what i would like, as i have one or two messages daily that are from family and friends that are at that level, but i cant whitelist them all one by one. Anything over 8 would really be spam, and i could care less about them. You could always whitelist_from email from family and friends then delete everything over 4. That's what I do. Seems to work really well. We are going to start integrating control over the user_prefs file into qmailadmin, so you could manage your whitelist_from lists. Thats exactly what i had hoped to avoid, i have a lot of family and friends, and adding them one by one, and then email adress changes is kind of hard. I will look into adding a patch to put the double check in place, so that it has the functions that i am looking for, and allows them to be turned on and off at will, also specifying a limit. snip X-Istence

All programs using vpommail libraries must be recompiled when it is. Rick
[vchkpw] Trash folder not counted for quotas
Ok, here is a couple of excerpts from the maildirquota.c file: 800: if ( *subdir != '.' || strcmp(subdir, .) == 0 || 801:strcmp(subdir, ..) == 0 || strcmp(subdir, .Trash) == 0) 836: if ( *subdir != '.' || strcmp(subdir, .) == 0 || strcmp(subdir, ..) == 0 || strcmp(subdir, .Trash) == 0) return (0); And well... i want to know if i can remove Trash from this exclusion please, pretty please. Yes, of course i can also change the name of my trash folder in my app, i just dont want to... Is there any reason why the folder named .Trash is not included in quota accounting? Is that part of tyhe maildir++ spec or what?
