Re: [vchkpw] Qmail keeps failing!

I receive the final POP Request: QUIT packet and the mail server replying POP Response: +OK Though the mail will not leave Outlook This is a LAN wide issue on all workstations. The only thing that looks out of the nor is in my running processes that are listed below from doing a ps -aux Note: network issue are ruled out. The network is entirely Cisco and wide open on the inside and confirmed error free at router and switching level.

Re: [vchkpw] Automatic Folder creation

Surely if vpopmail can create a maildir, it isn't a huge step MF to create a few subfolders? I just can't find the function that does MF this... I thought about this patch, too... However, I've planned to implement it outside of vpopmail. Now I think that better place will be in vpopmail itself, thanks for idea... -- Alex.

Always check ALL return values to avoid incomplete creations. Make vpopmail.pm understand when to use users table, and when - vpopmail. Chrck once again quite messy code in vmysql.c. Add ability to specify SQL login/password at configure-time. Thanks for great package, wishing to kick bugs off it, Alex.
problem with default domain (or am I crazy?)
Hello!
I'm (still) fighting with vpopmail, with default domain (to be checked
before virtual users list), with users base in mysql.
I've found that code in vpopmail.c handles case of default directory
(~vpopmail/users) QUITE incorrectly.
I've added a patch at vpopmail.c, line 1638:
===
if (!sstrcmp(domain, DEFAULT_DOMAIN)) {
return(0);
}
===
to prevent replacing default domain name with 'users'.
Or have I installed something totally incorrectly?
Alex.
Bug(s) in vpopmail, serious!
Hello! Trying to make vpopmail working with mysql and default domain, I've found rather serious bug: in vmysql.c, line 127 (vauth_adduser_size), dom_dir is not initialised to anything, so it's filled with garbage. vget_assign is called at line 164 with garbled dom_dir Later, in vget_assign, domain (which is _default_ domain, as it was configured) doesn't present in /var/qmail/users/cdb, so dom_dir doesn't change and vget_assign returns NULL, bot no one ever cares to check return value! So, should I add default domain to virtualdomains? If yes, why doesn't it mentioned in any docs? And why doesn't return value get checked? Alex.
