RE: [vchkpw] Matt Simersons tcpserver-mysql patch how-to??
Add the -S switch to your qmail-smtpd script and restart the servers. You should now be running off the relay table in your database. cheers Shane Hi, Is it possible to use this patch in place of /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb for permanently allowed hosts? I had a look a while back and noticed it seemed to run on a timeout basis. Also, does anyone have an example of the sql table structure needed? Thanks, Jonathan
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail courierIMAP auth from MySQL
Hi, Is it possible to get vpopmail courierIMAP to auth from the same MySQL database? Yes, simply compile courier-imap with --with-authvchkpw to enable to auth against vpopmail. Cheers, Jonathan
Re: [vchkpw] Matt Simersons tcpserver-mysql patch how-to??
Hi,
I just checked Matt's patch, and he indeed added that code. So it will
work. You cannot set ENV-vars though!
Hi,
It must set RELAYCLIENT though I would have thought just had a quick
look at the code and yes:
! if(usemysql) {
! if(flagdeny==2) {
!/* drop_db(); */
! } else if(!flagdeny) {
!env(RELAYCLIENT,);
! }
! flagdeny=0;
! }
So if you wanted any other ENV variables set you could just add them
there under env(RELAYCLIENT,); . right?
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi,
after fiddling around with my mailserver configuration, everything seems to
work now except for one thing. I'd like to Catch-All non existent accounts
to postmaster, so i tried to change the delivery instruction in .qmail /
.qmail-default to filter messages to postmaster. the problem is, that once i
change the delivery instructions, i catch ALL mail, even to other existing
accounts. anyone got a clue (although this may be a little offtopic on this
list) ?
In your maildrop filter you could have something like...
# Get maildir to deliver to
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# If it wasn't a valid user... set user to postmaster
if ($RETURNCODE != 0)
{
EXT=postmaster
}
That would probably do what you are after.

[vchkpw] Valias and maildrop/vdelivermail, and valias bug?
Hi,
I have been pondering this problem for a few days now and can't seem to
find a solution. I am trying to implement per user spam/virus prefs
using maildrop as the delivery agent. It is all working apart from two
problems, aliases ad catchall.
Maildrop script (partial):
VPOP=| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
# Get home directory to deliver to
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
# If it wasn't a valid user, deliver again with vdelivermail
# in case it is an alias
if ($RETURNCODE != 0)
{
to $VPOP
}
The problem is that if I put 'to ! catchall' in the if statement it
will bounce for aliases (because vuserinfo doesn't check if the email is
an alias). I could run valias -s email but the valias exit code is
always 0 even if it is an invalid alias.
So, does anyone know how to make catchalls and aliases work nicely with
maildrop?
Also, I think I found a bug in valias (w/ MySQL). If I run the following
commands this is what I get:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -s cat.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -i [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -i [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Error: alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] already exists.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -i [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Error: alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED] already exists.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -s cat.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED] - [EMAIL PROTECTED]
valias won't let me add any more than 1 alias to the domain or so it
seems. The valias table shows:
mysql select * from valias;
+---+-++
| alias | domain | valias_line|
+---+-++
| dog | cat.net | [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
+---+-++
Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Cheers,
Jonathan
Re: [vchkpw] Valias and maildrop/vdelivermail, and valias bug?
Hi,
What if valias exited with -1 if it's an invalid alias? I just changed
it to do so in the CVS repository, and it will be in 5.3.28.
Cheers, most appreciated :).
I am still wondering about the catchall stuff though. If I can check
valias as well then I could use something like:
VPOP=| ~vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
VHOME=`~vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if ($RETURNCODE != 0) {
VALIAS=`~vpopmail/bin/valias -s [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if ($RETURNCODE != 0) {
VDOMHOME=`~vpopmail/bin/vdominfo -d $HOST`
exception {
# this .catchall file could have the line
# to ! catchall
include $VDOMHOME/.catchall
}
# if the .catchall file didn't exist then bounce with
# vdelivermail so msg includes bounce details
to $VPOP
}
}
I'll have a play around and try to get this working tomorrow.
This does seem odd to me though.., none of the maildrop scripts I have
seen seem to deal with aliases!
Thanks,
Jonathan
Re: [vchkpw] Re: How to Stop Spam
Hi, This will allow any valid vpopmail user to use their email address and password as an SMTP login. However, the most popular qmail-smtpd-auth patch has CRAM-MD5 as one of the auth methods and as far as I know vpopmail [at least in standard installation, where all passwords are stored as encrypted] will not work with this mode of authorization. Supposively one has to disable the CRAM- MD5 announcement in the patch source. If one doesn't do that, clients that do have CRAM-MD5 as one of the AUTH methods [supposively for example Pegasus], will try that by default and it will fail. Am I correct in the above assumption or has something changed? Well, I hadn't thought of that but it is quite possibly correct. Although, I just tried out Evolution with method set to CRAM-MD5 and was able to auth with the SMTP-auth patch and vpopmail. But I don't know if Evolution will fall back on plain or login if it fails MD5 I wouldn't have thought so but you never know. Anyone else been able to use CRAM-MD5 with vpopmail? Cheers, Jonathan

[vchkpw] Vadddomain should create limits entry in MySQL
Hi, I have just checked with 5.3.28 and when creating a new domain with vadddomain, an entry is not added for the domain in the limits table. This means that the vmoddomlimits command doesn't work and fails with Failed to vget_limits. I suggest that either a) an entry is created with the domain or b) vmoddomlimits creates one if necessary. Thanks, Jonathan
Re: [vchkpw] Vadddomain should create limits entry in MySQL
Hi,
This is easily fixed manually, just run 'INSERT INTO limits (domain)
VALUES ('example.net')' to create an entry and vmoddomlimits works fine.
It is just that this should be done automatically at some point.
Failed to vget_limits.
when i use vpopmail with enable-mysql-limits and try to read them via
vmoddomlimits.
I also noticed that the mysql table limits has no entries when i add a
domain via e.g. qmailadmin.
looks like a bug! :-)
Cheers,
Jonathan
Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail + Apache
X-Istence Install seemed to have went ok so far, but I have one problem. When I go to make a virtual domain with vadddomain, I get the following error: Failure while attempting to remove_line() the locals file Error. Failed to add domain to assign file Error: Could not update file Sorry if this has already been addressed in a previous posting. I just joined this mailing list yesterday. I will continue to look around and see if I can find a solution that's been posted already. JAM I have not seen that error before and would not know what is causing it. Are you root while doing these actions? X-Istence I have had that error a number of times but I've never seen it documented anywhere. Simply run 'touch /var/qmail/control/locals' to fix it. It happens when the locals file doesn't exist, ususally because the install of qmail didn't create it. Let me know if that helps.

It happens when the locals file doesn't exist, ususally because the install of qmail didn't create it. As I mentioned to X-Istence, that's what I ended up doing and it resolved the problem. You're right, I didn't really see anything documented either. Tom, possibly something could be added to the docs somewhere, or vadddomain could produce a more helpful error message. Cheers, Jonathan
