I advise seeing if you have any ~vpopmail/domain/*/.vpasswd.lock files and removing them if they do not have at least some permission. These seem to clear up all of the issues I've noticed with vpopmail-5.4.16 at this time [fortunately that big bugfix last release helped as well]. Think we may be ready for 5.4.17 soon? I want to make sure these get in there. I just added your patch to CVS, and it will be in 5.4.17. One question related to the vpalias.c fix. Why is mydir static?

[vchkpw] new Installation on Fedora Core 5
We recently purchased an Intel 64 bit Server which i installed with Fedora Core 5 64 bit version. I successfully installed Qmail in about 2 days. So now when i look at the MySQL database i notice that there is a database in there called vpopmail in that database a seperate table is created for each domain that i add, when i compare with my older running installation of Qmail, there is a database called vpopmail and inside that that database is a another table called vpopmail which contains all the information on my domains. Is there any advantage to the new way of doing things, or did i miss something during installation, could someone offer me some advice incase i run the risk of breaking things when i deploy this server over the weekend.

[vchkpw] How can I personalize some users in a domain ?
Hello I use vpopmail5.4. I want to personalize some emailaddresses in a domain. Let me explain that case. I have a domain. 5 email addresses of this domain will not able to send and receive any mail from anywhere except that domain. Other email address of this domain can send to everywhere and receive emailfrom everywhere. How can I do this ? Thanks

Greetings:
I don't know if anyone in here is encountering this problem (yet), but
it has
been affecting me for the past few weeks - ever since I upgraded my
MySQL
server to 5.0.19. It took quite a bit of digging, but I believe I
have found
the problem.
To describe the problem: when you run vpopmail in MySQL mode, with
courier-authdaemond and MySQL v5.0 or later, you will find that for
the first 8
hours, everything works just fine, but after 8 hours, nobody will be
able to
authenticate to the email server and you will see MySQL server has
gone away
errors in the maillog.
The cause of the problem is that in MySQL 5.0 (and probably some 4.1
releases),
MySQL implements a new timeout definition for connections, a timeout
that
ignores traffic. This timeout will shut down the socket thread from
the MySQL
side. The problem is that the client (vchkpw and friends) do not
know/understand about this timeout and socket termination so they
continue on
in ignorate bliss until they try to send to the socket and find that
it's no
longer valid - literally the server has gone away.
The fix is to simply destroy the internal flags and file handles
related to that
socket, rebuild a new one, and try again.
The included patch (inline and attached) implements this fix. Please
note that
there doesn't appear to be any way at this time to disable the timeout
feature
in MySQL.
Please feel free to comment, tear apart, beat up, or otherwise rip to
shreads my
fix!

And before you ask, I have NO plans to even try using it. I just blew about 4-5 hours last night and today working on the vpopmail 5.4.17 release. The last thing I need to do is get sucked into another open source project. ;-) I'd be curious to hear whether the domain worked correctly in qmailadmin or not after making the change. I just ran a test, and it worked fine. Note that I had problems because I forgot to run qmail-newu after making the changes to users/assign. Once I made that change, it was OK. gotcha. since i need to keep vqadmin consistent for various reasons, i think i'll try doing a complete overhaul of the domain the 'old fashioned way'.

[vchkpw] starttls crashes on vpopmail with mysql
Title: Ingo Claro Hello list: I can't starttls if I use vpopmail with mysql in another server. [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 smtp.prisa.cl ESMTP starttls Connection closed by foreign host. i'm using vpopmail with mysql and that causes it, if i don't use mysql i get no problems. anyone has seen this behaviour? please help!

If you're using cdb, here's a sneaky way to do it... First, backup the domain on the off chance that deleting the alias domain messes something up. Stop qmail until you're done making the changes. We'll call the domains old.com and new.com for this process. # delete the old domain ~vpopmail/bin/vdeldomain new.com # add it back, as it's own domain (not an alias) ~vpopmail/bin/vadddomain new.com xyz # use the old domain's files instead rm -rf ~vpopmail/domains/new.com mv ~vpopmail/domains/old.com ~vpopmail/domains/new.com # make an link from the old name to the new name so mailing lists work cd ~vpopmail/domains ln -s new.com old.com Start qmail back up, and you should be in business. Now you can search through the various .qmail files and mailing list configuration files, looking for references to old.com and changing them to new.com. Eventually, you can ditch the link from old.com to new.com in the domains directory. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Vpopmail - virtual domains for qmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ QmailAdmin - web interface for Vpopmail: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/

RE: [vchkpw] VpopMail upgrade
What backend is vpopmail using for it's storage (cdb/mysql/ldap)? That will determine what steps need to be taken. In most cases however, moving from one server to another is a fairly painless job as long as you get your bases covered and there should be no loss in emails or accounts when doing the upgrade. For me personally I've moved my current user base across 4 different servers with only a blip of an outage while transferring over the current email store and changing the ip of the new and old boxes.
