[vchkpw] qmail resending mails
Hello I'm using qmail-1.03 vpopmail-5.2 ezmlm-0.53. A customer complains about sending a mail to mailing list (one time) the mailing list members receive the mail more than 245 times!! This is not the first time this happens, and it stop this duplicates after a day. Is there any solution to this problem? Is there anyone facing this problem?

Re: [vchkpw] Fw: [Courier-imap] chdir username: No such file or directory
I had the same problem that's why I got back to my 1.7 version of Courier which works fine for me.

I've got a hunch that there is an incompatibility between the newer vpopmail and courier's authvchkpw I compiled courier-imap 2.2.0 on a Solaris 2.9 box, with vpopmail 5.2.1. All IMAP functions behaved as expected. I took the authvchkpw binary from the 2.9 box, and copied it over to my 2.7 box, with vpopmail 5.4.6 CourierIMAP now seems happy. I'm surprised no one else has run into this. Is there anyone out there running vpopmail 5.4.x and courier-imap with authvchkpw ? This will be cross-posted to the courier-imap list, just to let Sam (et al) know about the possible incompatibility. Jeremy Kister http://jeremy.kister.net/
[vchkpw] incorrect No mailbox here for defaultdomain?? Urgent help needed
I've got a situation that's driving me insane. (and incidentally, pissing off quite a few clients) Overall setup - 5 nodes running Qmail/vpopmail/mysql setup, vpop 5.4.something. Qmail control files (incl /service scripts) and domains folders are on NFS share, with me linked to the particular node's name (hild.dsslink.net for example) on the node's local fs, while bouncehost=defaulthost=defaultdomain=doublebouncehost=localiphost=locals=dsslink.net. Hosts a few dozen domains, but right now ALL of them work fine EXCEPT dsslink.net. I can manually inject a message via telnet addressed to a valid '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', the same 'user' bare, and a valid user at any other domain we host. The message will be delivered fine for the other domain. The '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' one elicits No mailbox here by that name, while the remaining (bare username) it tries to deliver to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'! This was all working correctly until a few days ago. The backend data server croaked, and was revived. (it hosts: nfs, rbldnsd, mysql, ntp) Revivification entailed upgrading from mandrake 9.1 to mandrake 10. Immediately, permissions problems halted everything. Now, permissions are the same for this domain as for others which work, I don't think the problem lies there. This domain's .qmail-default file is identical to that of most of the other domains. (specifically, | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox) HELP. :) Any suggestions appreciated. I'm interested in the solution to the defaultdomain part (using the contents of /var/qmail/control/me), but I'm on the clock 24/7 until I get deliveries working again for dsslink.net... j Joel Newkirk DSSLink, LLC

DOH! Just realized my problem - someone changed 'locals' to be 'dsslink.net' instead of a link to me... Pretty sure it wasn't me, but it's been a bad few days. Thanks anyway, sorry to have wasted bandwidth.

To test your theory, try vpopmail 5.4.0. I know that Michael Bowe
worked on the vpopmail code in courier-imap, so I don't see any reason
for the latest builds to not work.
Yes earlier this year I rewrote the vchkpw code that is included in
courier-imap. The idea here was to fix some broken functionality and to also
close some security issues. My changes were included in the v3.0.0 release
of courier-imap.
I use vchkpw 5.4.x and courier-imap-3.0.x on my production server and
haven't seen the problem you describe. To make sure something hadn't slipped
by, I just updated my server to the latest (5.4.7+3.0.8) and ran it in a few
different combinations eg with/without roaming users, with/without
authdaemon.. Still couldn't duplicate your problem.
I know where in the code your problem is occurring. vchkpw authentication is
handed in the courier-imap source primarily by authlib/authvchkpw.c. In this
file, once a user has been successfully auth'ed, courier-imap executes this
function :
authsuccess(a-homedir, 0, a-sysuserid, a-sysgroupid, a-address,
a-fullname);
authsuccess() switches to the supplied user/group and then does this :
if (chdir(homedir))
{
fprintf(stderr, chdir \%s\: %s\n, homedir,
strerror(errno));
authexit(1);
}
So, for some reason your homedir field just contains username rather than
the full path to the user's dir.
To try and get to the bottom of this, I would suggest that you edit your
imapd file (/usr/local/courier-imap/etc/imapd or similar), and set
DEBUG_LOGIN=2. Then restart your courier-imap daemon. Then look in your
/var/log/maillog. This is an example of an entry from my logs :
Sep 26 22:25:30 reef imapd: authvchkpw:
[EMAIL PROTECTED],
sysuserid=89, sysgroupid=89,
homedir=/home/vpopmail/domains/1/pipeline.com.au/X/mbowe,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], fullname=Michael Bowe,
maildir=null, quota=null, options=null
Note how the homedir contains the full path to the user dir.
And the corresponding vuserinfo shows :
[EMAIL PROTECTED] etc]# vuserinfo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
name: mbowe
passwd:
clear passwd:
uid:0
gid:0
flags: 0
gecos: Michael Bowe
limits: No user limits set.
dir: /home/vpopmail/domains/1/pipeline.com.au/X/mbowe
quota: 524288000S
usage: 14%
last auth: Sun Sep 26 22:25:30 2004
last auth ip: imap
Again, you can see how the full path to the user dir is displayed.
Jeremy, how does this compare with your system?
Michael.

Well, obviously if mysql is stopped it can't connect to the server and change things. PHB Why can't I connect to the website? Admin I just stopped the webserver PHB So?
