My problem is solved, I'm very sorry folks, it was coming from my startup script :-( In fact, with the smtp-auth patch from http://www.mcmilk.de/qmail/ , the FQDN is still needed just after qmail-smtpd ... it's very confusing !! So now with tcpserver -v -H -R -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c70 -u 89 -g 89 0 smtp \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd my.domain.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 21 all is working perfectly, like expected. I thank you all anyway :)
[vchkpw] Custom Maildir Structure
Hi, I use bincimap with vpopmail and use the IMAPDir structure which looks like this: domains | +-domain | +-user | +-IMAPDir | | | +-INBOX - ../Maildir | +-Maildir | +-new | +-cur | +-tmp Is it possible to configure vpopmail (i.e. vadduser) and, by extension, qmailadmin to create this structure automatically when I new user is added? i.e. Does vpopmail support the concept of a skel directory like the adduser command uses /etc/skel ? Thanks, R. -- http://robinbowes.com

[vchkpw] Courier-Imap patch to allow webmail access for specified IP's when no_imap or no_pop is specified
Hi,
A little patch against preauthvchkpw.c to allow local imap and/or pop
access even if no_pop or no_imap is set.
It used here to allow webmail access from localhost.
It is a patch against 3.0.8 but it is a small change and easily
adjustable to other versions.
Based on Tom Collins code in vpopmail to allow the same thing.
Regards,
Rick

If you just need a particular directory structure, you can modify
vpopmail.c's list of directories to create for each user:
const char *dirnames[] = {Maildir, Maildir/new, Maildir/cur,
Maildir/tmp};
You'll have to manually add code before:
/* set permissions on the user's dir */
r_chown(., uid, gid);
To create the symlink from INBOX to ../Maildir.
There is a patch on SourceForge to add skel directory support to
vpopmail, but we decided not to include it since it uses a system call
to 'cp' to copy the files -- it would be better to do the copying
within vpopmail itself.

[vchkpw] autoresponder supposed to cause message loss?
In a vpopmail 5.4.6 site with autoresponder 2.0.4, the behavior we're seeing is that when a user sets a vacation message, vpopmail sets up the autoresponder with a 3 messages per day limit. The .qmail file it creates for that person has autoresponder on the first line and then the Maildir delivery statement on the second. What we're seeing is that after the messages from a given address exceed three, the autoresopnder no longer mails, as expected, but the messages are no longer delivered to the Maildir either, and the sender is not notified. Is there a way to override that behavior so messages are not lost? Is this the expected behavior even or is something else incorrect? If I reverse the order in the .qmail file it works as intended but I'd rather not patch vpopmail for all of our servers and then remember to do that for the future. Thanks, David

If I reverse the order in the .qmail file it works as intended but I'd rather not patch vpopmail for all of our servers and then remember to do that for the future. It's a bit of a mess. What we really need are two different programs -- one as an autoresponder, and one as a vacation responder. They need to bounce messages differently and exit differently. I thought that someone had updated vdelivermail at one point to handle autoresponder's exit codes and not drop mail. I guess not. I'd like to change QmailAdmin so that it puts the email address first, and then the autorespond program delivery. Unfortunately, check_user_forward_vacation() (the code that decodes the .qmail file) is a huge mess and expects the autorespond line to come first. I'll see if I can find time to rewrite that function. The fix to correctly write the .qmail file is trivial. I'll see if I can get it into the next release. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

I had the same problem I had to make sure that the patch was applied correctly otherwise it will not accept your bounce messages.
