Re: [vchkpw] How to add forwards using vpopmail
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.

[vchkpw] Advice Please
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 to still work. - Bill
Re: [vchkpw] Backup Emailserver?
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....
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
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.

[vchkpw] Forwarding....
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.

I am running several domains and I have one domain that when you try to send e-mail to the postmaster account, the only account defined, it get a relay denied message. Any help ?

[vchkpw] Vpopmail catch all....
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....
Does anyone have a init.d script that will HUP tcpserver as well ?
