[vchkpw] IMAP login fails for default domain users
Hello, Vpopmail 5.4.2 Courier-imap 3.0.3 I compiled Qmail, Vpopmail, and Courier-Imap according to the following HOWTO: http://sylvestre.ledru.info/howto/howto_qmail_vpopmail.php I also created the ~vpopmail/etc/defaultdomain file with the domain I wanted in there for the default domain. All POP logins work great, but with IMAP, only the virtual domains (or rather, any domain other than the 'default domain') are able to login in; the 'default domain' fails on IMAP login, regardless of whether I user the '@defaultdomain.tld' or not (Note: '@defaultdomain' is of course, a place-holder for the actual domain I used) I have gone over a few other Qmail-Vpopmail-Courier-imap HOWTOS, and cannot find anything wrong . Of course, if I remove the 'defaultdomain' file, then the users under the '@defaultdomain.tld' can log in via IMAP (assuming they use the full email address). Unfortunately, it is not too practical for me to do this, since there are several hundred users who are under the 'default domain', and almost all log in with only the first part of their email address. ANy ideas as to what is wrong, and possibly how to correct would be greatly appreciated! TIA, Alan Murrell

[vchkpw] vmysql.h patch ??
Hello,
There is a qmailadmin-toaster project which has
created RPMS for creating a Qmailadmin toaster.
As part of their software, they have patched vmysql.h
so that the database information is kept in a file
called sql in the /var/qmail/control directory
(actually, a more appropriate place would rpolly be
~vpopmail/etc, but that's another matter).
Anyway, I much prefer this idea of being able to
change MySQL server information via a single file, as
opposed to recompiling vpopmail (and all the tools
that uses it's libs, like Qmailadmin) whenever you
wish to change the server that the vpopmail MySQL
database is stored on.
I have included the patch below (it's for 5.3.8),
since it is open source, and hopefully this can make
it into the mainstream branch?
Please note: I am not the author of this patch, so
please do not give me credit for it; I am just trying
to bring good code to the masses :-)
Thanks!

Re: [vchkpw] Aliases not working with maildrop spamassassin?
Hi Jaspar, is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], qmail just dumps it directly into user's mailbox,completely out of the spam checking task. My understanding is that when delivering mail, vpopmail looks for these files in the following order: ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/.qmail-user ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/.qmail ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/.qmail/default It will process according to the first one it comes across, then stop further checking. So what is happening in your situation, is the .qmail-test file is prcessed by delivering the mail to user, and then no further processing is done (i.e., it does not then process the mail through the recipient's .qmail* files). As such, Aliases and Forwards will not be processed by spamd. I am not sure why this was done this way, but that the way it is. If I was a coder, I would prolly see if I could change that behaviour myself :-) HTH, Alan Murrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca

Hello, I meant to ask this a while ago, but never got around to it... I have noticed that when Vpopmail is installed, it has it's own 'tcp'smtp' file.

[vchkpw] [slightly OT] mail vs web virtual hosting
Hello, I am the SysAdmin for a small webhosting/colocation company, and we are in the midst of re-designing our network, particularly our mail servers. While in one of our discussions regarding failover load-balancing, an interesting question was brought up: Is it possible to have the mail boxes in different locations on the server, and direct the user to their mailbox based on the domain, or IP address the request is coming in on? Let me explain what I mean, using our web servers as an example (yes, I know that HTTP and mail are different protocols, but please bear with me)... We have two Linux web servers, let's say IP addresses of '192.168.1.1' and '192.168.1.2'. Each server is setup to listen on each IP address. Each domain we setup is setup on one of the servers as it's primary server, where the files are stored served from the local hard drive. The site is then setup on the other server, which would server the site off an NFS mount from an NFS server (the NFS server uses 'rsync' at midnight each night to grab the updates/changes from the web servers themselves). The VirtualHost entries would look like this: Primary: VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80 DocumentRoot /websites/[0-9,a-z]/customerdomain.com ... /VirtualHost Secondary: VirtualHost 192.168.1.1:80 DocumentRoot /nfs/websites/[0-9,a-z]/customerdomain.com ... /VirtualHost Our router is then setup with priority load balancing: it knows that if the host header contains 192.168.1.1, to go to Server A (which serves up the site locally), but if he is down, go to Server B (which serves the site off the NFS mount). Of course, the advantage to this setup is that we could lose either server, and still be fine (some people just would not be able to FTP their site chanes), *or* we could lose the NFS server, and still be okay. Of course, if we lost a server *and* the NFS server, then we piss off half of our customers :-) So, now for the questions: 1. Is something similar possible for mail servers (it's not so much the contents of the email directories I would care about as much as the existence of the mailboxes themselves) 2. If not possible (and I am almost sure it is not), what is the reason? I would guess it is the different way the protocols work. Is there material you could point me towards to learn about this (the RFC's??) (I do know from previous posts that Vpopmail/Qmail does support IP-based domain hosting, but I am not sure that this means it can serve up the contents of a mail directory in a location other than, say, '/home/vpopmail/domains/customerdomain.com/user/Maildir'...) TIA for your patience regarding this slightly off-topic post... :-) Alan __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
[vchkpw] vqadmin: Script not found or unable to stat ??
Hello, I have QMail + Vpopmail + Qmailadmin setup on a FreeBSD box, and all is working fine, thus far. I decided to download VQAdmin to take a look at it (all is latest stable source downloaded today). I followed the instructions, and the vqadmin stuff got put into my /websites/q/qmailadmin/cgi-bin directory, which is where I indicated it should go. However, when I point by browser to http://192.168.2.2/cgi-bin/vqadmin/html/main.htm, I get prompted for the username/apssword, which I enter. But then I get the following page: - Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/vqadmin/html/main.html on this server. - And I find this in my Apache logs: - [Sat Jan 4 21:39:40 2003] [error] [client 192.168.1.2] file permissions deny server execution: /var/www/cgi-bin/vqadmin/html/main.html - I have not changed the file permissions, and this is what they are for this file: - -rw-r--r-- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 803 Jan 4 21:43 html/main.html - I have a feeling this has something to do with an HTML file trying to be run from the cgi-bin, but if I move them to the DocumentRoot, then the page does not show up properly (the buttons have numbers on them, like what is in HTML source).

[vchkpw] Looking up Vpopmail passwords
Hello, We will be moving our mail system over to a Qmail/Vpopmail solution very soon, and I am just trying to decide between using the default flat file format, or a MySQL backend. My only concern at this point is allowing our tech staff to look up a client's password, should it become necessary. Currently, the email accounts are tied in to our billing database, but this will no longer be the case. I guess my questions are: 1. Is it possible to look up an email user's password regardless of whether a the flat file format is used, or the MySQL backend? (i.e., is there a web-based admin tool that will allow our tech staff to do this)? 2. Would using MySQL tend to be faster or slower than using the flat file format? We have just over 1200 email users, and expect this to grow significantly in the next 12-18 months, so I would like to have the better of the two in place now,rather than looking at upgrading down the road. (I like the idea of using MySQL as the back end, as I think it will allow us to write a custom interface, as well as make certain things easier, like Spamassassin administration, whcih we will be implementing, no?)

I am now trying to install Courier-IMAP. It configures gine, but during the 'make', exits with an error saying it cannot find vpopmail.h. I checked, and vpopmail.h does exist in ~vpopmail/include. When I installed all of this on a Red Ht and Mandrake machines previously (using the same configure options), Courier-IMAP did not seem to have trouble finding all the files it needed, including vpopmail.h. I'm guessing I need to put ~vpopmail.h into the include path somehow, but I did not see a configure option for that. Does anyone have any ideas?

[vchkpw] [OT] list messages getting sent to abuse@verizon.net?
Hello, I have noticed that the last couple of messages I sent to the list seem to also get a response sent back to me by [EMAIL PROTECTED]; I am guessing that that address is somehow subscribed to the list? Is it possible to double-check that? And if so, assuming they're not supposed to be, would it be possible to remove them? Just in case you weren't aware :-) = -- Alan Murrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
[vchkpw] SqWebmail, Qmailadmin not authenticating
Hello, Last week I setup Qmail + Vpopmail + Courier-IMAP + Sqwebmail + Qmailadmin (and ucspi-tcp, of course!) for a Customer (using vchkpw to authenticate). Initially installed everything using Qinstall, but had some problems with Vpopmail not authenticating. On someone's advice, I recompiled/installed Vpopmail and Courier-IMAP with the following options: Vpopmail: ./configure --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-logging=e Courier-IMAP: ./configure --disable-auto-rename-sent --without-authpwd --without-autoshadow --without-authpam --without-auth-userdb -- without-authmysql --without-authpgsql --without-ldap Everything was authenticating properly afterwards. However, when I go to Sqwebmail (still compiled from the Qinstall), I am unable to log in as any of the virtual users: I get authentication failure. I am using the full email address as the username. It's the same thing with Qmailadmin: I try to log in as the postmaster for any of the virtual domains, and get authentication failure. On the same person's advice, I tried recompiling Qmailadmin with almost the same options as Courier-IMAP (i.e., turning off all authentication methods except vchkpw), but that did not help. I also did add the '--htmldir', '--html-libdir', and '--cgibindir' options to point to the directories I was installing them to (I setup a virtual host in my websites directory) I am not sure what I have done wrong here, or why it is not authenticating. Maybe someone here does, or has some suggestions? TIA, = -- Alan Murrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
[vchkpw] Vpopmail: Best method for virtual hosts/domains?
Hello, I am putting together a dedicated hosting box for a Customer, who will be hosting several domains. The box will also handle their email. I will be installing Apache/PHP/MySQL/mod_perl/etc. from Apachetoolbox, and will be using Qmail/Vpopmail/QmailAdmin/Sqwebmail for the mail solution. My question is, which is the best way to handle the virtual mail authorization? I have used 'vhckpw' in the past, but also notice that many people seem to like using MySQL for that. What are some of the advantages/disadvantages of using MySQL over the traditional' vhckpw? Or are one of the other authorization methods better? I know this is a subjective question. I guess what UI'm looking for are pros cons, so I can then make my own decision based ont hat. TIA for your help and insight. = -- Alan Murrell [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
[vchkpw] vchkpw: vpopmail user not found
Hi! I posted this earlier to the bulletin board archive, but I wasn't subscribed to the list at the time. I don't know if it went out to the list, or just got added to the archives, so I am posting directly to the list, just in case. I installed the latest Qmail, Vpopmail (stable, not development), and Courier-IMAP (yes, I have AUTHDAEMONS=vchkpw), daemontools, and ucspi-tcp, following the instructions in Bill's Qmail Toaster Guide. I then created a virtual domain using vadddomain (for this example, I will use virtualdomain1.com as the domain). I then added '[EMAIL PROTECTED]', and got prompted to create a password, which I did. I sent a test email from my Yahoo! account, and it got to the mailbox just fine. However, when I attempt to retrieve the email using any mail client, I keep getting prompted for the username/password. The /var/log/maillog says: vchkpw: vpopmail user not found [EMAIL PROTECTED]:IP ADDRESS I tried deleting then re-adding the domain, however, it does not seem to work. It seems that I am only able to either get login working correctly, or mail sent to the mailbox correctly, but not both together (I was having the problem before where loging in as the user was working, but mail was being bounced back saying user not know, even though the user *did* exist) Because 'virtualdomain1.com' is not the default domain, I was using '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as the username. The odd thing is that I can only either: 1. Be able to authenticate as a virtual user, but mail sent to the user bounces back as user unknown (I have since learned that this is the case if Courier0IMAP is running the POP3 service); or 2. Mail sent to a virtual user reached the mailbox, but I am unable to authenticat (this seems to occur when vpopmail is handling the POP3, instead of Courier-IMAP) I even tried using the Sqwebmail interface, since it reads the users' mailboxes directly, as opposed to acting as a POP/IMAP client, but I was still unable to authenticate (I did not try it with Courier-IMAP handling the POP service, however).
