[vchkpw] chkusr patch - false negatives
Howdy, I've seen a few people complaining that their mail is getting bounced. Not good, needless to say. On examing the bounces, I see that it's the chkusr error message that the user does not exist. At this point my best guess, by looking at overall server activity is that this is happening when the machine really gets swamped (all incoming smtp connections chewed up with spam runs - this server and a backup server). I have mysql set to 500 max connections, and just bumped that up to 800. I was surprised a bit by how chkusr behaves if the mysql server goes away - rather than erring on the side of caution and trying to deliver the mail, it bounces it. I verified this on a test box. FWIW, this is the Shupp chkusr patch, there's no version info in the patch, but it looks like it was made 3/16/2003. Is this how chkusr is supposed to operate? If so, I need an alternative, as most other parts of vpopmail survive a brief database outage without dumping good mail. Are there any other tested chkusr type patches out there? Please share! Thanks, Charles
Re: [vchkpw] chkusr patch - false negatives
Just following up on my own question a bit... I'm trying to figure out how many mysql hits a single incoming message can generate to arrive at a max_connections setting for mysql. Worst case, I assume it would look like this: -initial chkusr check (is it a valid address?) -smtp-auth (possible if it's a local user sending to another) -vdelivermail (look up where to deliver) -spamc (if user has spamassassin enabled, prefs fetched via mysql) Am I missing anything on the delivery side? These obviously aren't all concurrent, but the hits are all pretty rapid-fire. So if I am allowing a max of 100 concurrent qmail-smtpd's, what would be a safe number of concurrent mysql connections when the box is maxed out? Multiply 100 by 2, 3, 4? For mail retrieval, I can measure a bit more easily... Thanks, Charles On Tue, 11 May 2004, Charles Sprickman wrote: Howdy, I've seen a few people complaining that their mail is getting bounced.

[vchkpw] POP3 authentication doesnt work for virtual accounts
Hi peeps, Yesterday I managed to get imap authentication working for virtual accounts, but now I tried to connect through pop3, but I keep on getting authentication errors. I assume it is a similair problem as with imap auth. Can anybody tell me how to get this working? I'm sure that I can get it to work on my own, but the last time it took me 2 days before I figured it out and I assume that people here on this list have encountered similair problems before. Here is my pop3 run file: #!/bin/sh env - PATH=/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin \ exec softlimit -m 200tcpserver -u 89 -g 89 -v -H -R -l 0 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup FQDM \ /server/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir Is this a good way to get it working? Any help is most welcomed as I need to get my server working asap. TIA -Patrick

[vchkpw] Shared IMAP dirs with Vpopmail
Hello, I am running Courier-IMAP with vpopmail and virtual domains. I need to create a global shared IMAP directory for the domain's spam. Can anyone give me instructions how to do this properly? I tried maildirmake, it creates a regular maildir, and also tried using the /etc/maildirshared file for courier-imap. The directories I create (with maildirmake -S and them -s xxx -f) do not show up as subscribable... Thanks for the help! Jeff Sorrentino
