Re: [vchkpw] How to add forwards using vpopmail

2004-11-22 Thread Bill Sappington
I must have been tired when I wrote this...
The correct version...
-
just create a file called .qmail-[username] in the domain directory and
make and put in the address you want the mail forwarded to like so:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Yikes, time to stop reading mail when I am exhausted.

on a same server but to a different domain? I tried using valias but this
did not seem to work at all.
can i use vdelivermail for this at all.

I seem to have discovered a relay vulnerability.  It seems that a rcpt 
to: in the form of,

 spamlart.homeunix.org!spamtest65.223.68.197
Gets past.  Any idea's??
I have checked as far as I can determine to eliminate this but it seems

Re: [vchkpw] Backup Emailserver?

2003-07-25 Thread Bill Sappington
While I am not sure exactly how this works

UUNET provides backup SMTP for me.  I have an e-mail server at my site, 
should my site go down for any particular reason they catch my e-mail, and 
then when my site is back up all the e-mail starts rolling in.

Now I know this is handled partialy by my MX record for the domain to whit:

mydomain.com

MX priority 10 mail.mydomain.com
MX priority 15 mail.myisp.com
I am pretty sure that even if you have two physical servers thats how you 
would set it up.  As to how to get one server to recieve _everything_, 
unconditionaly, and then every know and then look to see if your primary 
server was alive, then forward everything it had received to your primary 
server and ONLY your primary server is a mystery to me.  I know at one time 
that you had to perform an ETRN _from your primary server_ to get the 
backup smtp server to start sending all the stuff it collected for you 
while you were down, but I dont think that is the case anymore, your 
millage may very.

It would seem to me you would want your secondary mail server someplace 
other then on the network that your primary is should you internet 
connection go down.

[vchkpw] Forwarding....

2003-07-07 Thread Bill Sappington
Ok so after wading through documentation that didn;t document so very damn 
well, and the snide remarks from a few people on this list and suffering 
through the whole It was hard to write so it should be hard to use 
attitude this works for forwarding.

The following assumes a standard Qmail install on Linux, a standard install 
of Vpopmail.

Standard install will create: /home/vpopmail/domains

Within the domains directory a sub-driectory for each domain you put onto 
the system is created it:

New Domain = MyNewDomain.Com

So you will have the following directory structure:

/home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com

for the obligitory postmaster you will have:

/home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/postmaster

within the above you will have

/home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/postmaster/MailDir

within Maildir you will have three directories:  new, cur  tmp

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= THE DEFAULT FORWARD *=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

Create a user for the domain MyNewDomain.com, ie: 'info' and you will have:

/home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/info/MailDir

within Maildir you will have three directories:  new, cur  tmp

within the directory: /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com execute the 
ls -all command
and you will see the file '.qmail-default'.  This file handles all e-mail 
comming to this domain that has no valid destination.  The contents of this 
file are:

| /home/vpopmain/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce

To make all e-mail without a valid destination in MyNewDomain.com go to a 
specific user, replace the word 'bounce' with the fully qualified address 
of the person you want it to go to.  This can be ANYONE!  Inside or outside 
your domain.

So suppose you want all e-mail with no valid destination at MyNewDomain.com 
to go to your mailbox on hotmail.com change the line to look like this:

| /home/vpopmain/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This is the Catch All!

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*= THE INDIVIDUAL FORWARD 
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=

To forward for a specific user create a file in the DOMAIN directory:

/home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com

name it .qmail-[user name of the person in this domain for which you would 
like to do forwarding]

So in the above example, I have a domain called 'MyNewDomain.com' and a 
user named 'info'.  If I want to forward ALL e-mail for the user 'info' to 
my hotmail address I would use a text editor such as pico since its very 
simple to use and execute the following command:

pico /home/vpopmail/domains/MyNewDomain.com/.qmail-info

Then add the following to the file:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Save the file and I have just created the forwarding rule for the 
individual user.

= end 





Re: [vchkpw] Re: forward not working under vpopmail

2003-07-07 Thread Bill Sappington
The only thing I would add to this is the following:

KEEP ROOT THE HELL OUT OF EVERYTHING!

Root is a special user, you should only log in as root under the most 
extreme circumstances.  Create a user name for yourself, assign the rights 
you need to administer your system to yourself, and leave root out if it.

Novell  even those idiots at M$Soft get this.  NEVER EVER use the account 
that has *** ALL *** the keys to the kingdom for anything except when 
aboslutely required, especialy in E-MAIL.

SMR qmail doesn't deliver mail to root.
SMR You need to put under /var/qmail/alias a .qmail-root file, note that 
the SMR user root will always fall to your DN, in your case  
katastrofa.com, with SMR some valid mail address so that all mail sent 
to root will be delivered to SMR that valid mail address. Otherwise 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] will not get mail.

SMR This is written somehere in the qmail documentation.

SMR Hope this helps.

[vchkpw] Forwarding....

2003-03-15 Thread Bill Sappington
Ok,

Well I have the system working I even have the catch all working.

So what I would like to know is about setting a forwarder for a particular 
user of a domain.

There does not seem to be a reference in the documentation; however, I 
could be blind and stupid.

the .qmail-default file seems to alude to this via the empty set, ie:

| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete

syntax in as much as the following works...

| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED]

will forward e-mail for non existant users to the named account, is then

| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The correct syntax to forward ???

Thanks in advance.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail catch all....

2003-03-05 Thread Bill Sappington
I am running a few domains using vpopmail, and am having a bit of a 
difficulty.

I have read the FAQ and have chnaged an appropriate .qmail-default file to 
place a [EMAIL PROTECTED] name instead of the bounce phrase and things dont seem 
to be working.

When this is set, does it have to be a user IN that domain, or can it be a 
user completely outside the q-mail system, ie:  [EMAIL PROTECTED] ??

Thanks in advance.



[vchkpw] And since I am asking....
