Two topics:1. Last chatter on vpopmail 5.4.14 was about a month ago with hints that it would be a few days to fix a few configure quirks. Were other issues discovered? What's expected new in 5.4.14 and what's the status of it?2. valias- migrating 3 CDB-based mail systems to one

Potential answer to the parent question below. Now, re vpopmailctl:vpopmailctl is a script provided by some distros, that ultimately is more like a qmailctl but not for each component. All it does is run svc for these pop3 and pop3ds. It really sholdn't be named vpopmailctl, but so be it.
Check your connection limits to the MySQL server. Seems to occasionally happen when a flood of smtp connections or pop connections opens up a lot of MySQL backends. Essentially it means that it tried to run its database queries and the server isn't there and has broken or didn't accept the

Just ignore it. In a world where machines could do only one thing due to a lack of power, machines greeted with their own name, which was where you want to deliver to. These days, where hundreds of domains can operate on one machine, this greeting just allows you to identify the server. It is

To correct myself... Each future POP authentication will update the expire time of the open-smtp entry and rebuild the CDB file again.I don't believe it actually rebuilds the CDB file here, but it does update the open-smtp file with the new timestamp for the expiry. In any case, any
unless you're doing it in mysql. which works dandy.You sure about that?the MySQL open relay database would speed up the cleanup of old entries and the updates making that pretty quick, but ultimately it needs to make that a cdb file that sets relayclient for tcpserver to execute qmail-smtpd
no, no cdb rebuilding at all. this is with the patches to do so of course. my vpopmail tcp.smtp.cdb file hasn't been touched in just over three years. Good to know- thanks for the correction.of course, i have lots more mysql transactions going on all the time, but have had no performance

Did you see my post last night about the same issue and wrapping a shell script and exec call around bincimap? It means you don't have to deal with this problem for pop/smtp uses, but only imap.Why modify vpopmail to do something specific to another program?-MRobin Bowes [EMAIL
It is indeed possible to use wrappers as you do, but this adds overheadto every invocation of [insert progran here] which I'd rather avoid. How much overhead do you think executing a shell script and an internal call to test implements? How often do you think IMAP connections are made? Think of
Use a scoring based RBL check. rblsmtpd denies all connections existing in RBLs You could modify it to do a scoring algorithm if you wanted, finding only the popular entries. SpamAssassin (with simscan) will do what you want, adding a score based on the credibility and error rates of each RBL.
You'd want something like http://www.netable.com/~dburkes/qmail-smtpd-requireauth/dist/qmail-smtpd-requireauth-0.30.tar.gz to do it. Note that this patch is against old/different versions of the auth patch, so you'll have to just use it as a guide and do it by hand. In specific, and if I recall
Yes. Set up a new copy of qmail in a different folder other than /var/qmail [or your current location] (see conf-*), as otherwise you can't have two running on the same machine, unless they point to the same queue and all.Bring up tcpserver for the second installation on a different port- if you

The message comes in properly (or so it seems) and into qmail-local and then vdelivermail. It reads a .qmail file that says [EMAIL PROTECTED] and has a second line with the maildir. The first one [the inject] is failing, which vdelivermail is supposed to be handling.Is this a bug in vdelivermail?
Seem to be having an issue since vpopmail 5.4.16 and qmailadmin 1.2.10.The first operation tends to work alright, such as creating a user, deleting a user, or so on, however the second fails. Even changing a password fails.If I delete the .vpasswd.lock file everything goes through... for one more
Permissions in the answer. .vpasswd.lock is being created 000 by vpopmail.I made a patch to add the mode to it. Since it's being created by vpopmail, it should be 600. It seems it's not only qmailadmin that is doing this, but also vadduser for example is making a 000 lock file.Patch
Easiest thing to do is add a .qmail file in the postmaster directory stating '|/bin/true delete' to scrap the message [just sets it as deleted by default].Now I'd imagine the main frontline you'd want to investigate is chkuser.c if you use it. By line 567, it's got a user and domain split. Under

Ken- a segfault patch against 5.4.16 is attached.Since mydir is static (and hence survives the function call), if max_names is null (which happens if there are no aliases on the domain), then mydir has been closed, but mydir is not set to NULL. Hence when it does a second itteration of the

Hi Folks,I've been browsing the qmailadmin/vpopmail code and see that there's no effort to enforce order in dot-qmail files. Adding lines to a dot-qmail file is just an append to the end of the file it seems with valias_insert and so on [at least in vpalias it is for the files/cdb backend].I'm

So an interesting bug in simscan I noticed when at a clients' today. She said that she was getting tons of Spam- a good 20 times what she should rightfully get. All obvious Spam as well. Looking in the headers, it's not being scanned by spamc, despite the domain being in simcontrol.The answer?

I'd be hesitant to rsync /usr/lib if it's ba enough to cause crashing errors like that. I'd be more interested in seeing you configure/recompile vpopmail with the existing headers/libraries in order to fix your problem rather than change your system and everything that depends on it.-MPaul

Look at QMAIL-SPP ( http://qmail-spp.sourceforge.net/ ).
It provides a plugin for vpopmail and gets away from this patching situation.
The idea is great, the implementation is good.
A mix of this and the existing patches you may have is probably the best way to
go.
