[vchkpw] Announcing ToasterAdmin, Net_Vpopmaild, Auth container
All, I'd like to announce ToasterAdmin, a new vpopmail administration tool which utilizes vpopmaild, allowing for remote administration of a vpopmail system (over tcp sockets). It is intended as an alternative to running QmailAdmin and VqAdmin separately, and will eventually be fully comprehensive. Here are some of the highlights: Design * Written in OOP PHP 5 using an MVC Framework for easy code maintenance * Uses the Smarty template engine for clear separation of logic from display * Uses several packages from PEAR to minimize local code requirements Current Features * Add/Remove Domains, Users, Forwards, and Auto-Responders * Modify Default Domain Limits * Search for Domains * Modify user mail routing and vacation messages * Add Alias Domains * Manage IP Maps * Internationalization support via gettext (translators needed!) Planned Features * Modify User Limits * Modify System Default Limits (vlimits.default) * EZMLM Support (must be supported by vpopmaild first) * simcontrol support URL: http://trac.merchbox.com/trac/toasteradmin ToasterAdmin is discussed on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list. Please forward any questions there (I'm not an ongoing member of vchkpw@inter7.com ). While working on ToasterAdmin, I decided to put all of the base vpopmaild code in the PEAR package Net_Vpopmaild (based on work from Rick Widmer). Net_Vpopmaild's URL is http://pear.php.net/Net_Vpopmaild. Lastly, I added a Net_Vpopmaild auth container to PEAR's Auth framework (NetVPOPMaild). So if you need any PHP app to to authenticate off of your vpopmail user base running vpopmaild, you accomplish this very easily through PEAR Auth.

My workaround of creating a separate POP account to POP in without retrieving msgs allows me to send via IMAP, but is obviously not an ideal solution. (I'm using Thunderbird .2). I've installed courier-imap numerous times (with different releases up to 20030902), both with authdaemon enabled as well as disabled. In both cases, the results are the same (meaning that I can read mail but not relay). Perhaps my understanding is wrong, but I was under the impression that since these are virtual domains I'm having trouble with (all my domains are virtual), the fact that I am able to read mail at all under IMAP would indicate that vchkpw is being called from courier-imap. Since qmail-pop3d invokes vchkpw and works, I'm puzzled. I'm afraid I don't know where to look log-wise. Probably the same old problem of courier not detecting roaming users.. Try this: cd (patth to courier) (cd authlib ; make clean) export CFLAGS=-DHAVE_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY make make install Regards, Bill

If I try to use the command vdeldomain to remove it, it says the domain doesn't exist! The reason I didn't use vdeldomain in the first place is because I had to reload everything all over again and I was installing over the top of a previous installation. I think all I need to do is wipe the slate and start adding my domains back into a clean database. How can I be assured that I'm wiping out everything and starting fresh? In addition to removing the database/recreating it, remove the domain directory, and the entry from /var/qmail/users/assign and run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu to update the assign cdb file.

I haven't checked though to see if it's still restricted to vchkpw (pop) as Ken suggested. I vaguely remember it getting moved to the vpopmail library to that all protocols could use it. But that was a while ago. You'll have to check that... FWIW, it really doesn't take long for users to get used to using their full email address as their login name (in my experience).

Yes, and using maildrop will totally keep domain based quotas from working properly. Looks like someone needs to patch the courier-imap and friends. I'd be curious to see if Mr. Sam accepts such patches. I personally think that this new non-system domain quota feature is unnecessary, when system quotas are available, easily implemented, and a better solution. But enough people seemed to want it for some reason, and Brian did a very nice job of implementing it cleanly with his other vlimits functions, so I included it in my devel version. Notice that Ken has not yet signed off on this, so there's no guarantee that it will make it in the official release, anyway.

The user quota for vpopmail is stored in the pw_shell attribute of the vqpasswd structure. Where this information is stored (db, cdb, file) doesn't matter. You use an API to get at it. In courier, a different place is used. The domain quota is now currently stored in the qmailadmin limits information, which is now retrieved using the vget_limits() function. Again, where it is actually stored doesn't matter. The important thing to remember is that Sam's approach now is to set the quota with maildirmake -q. The quota is stored ONLY in the maildirsize file itself. It is the responsibility of any Maildir++ aware applications to honor the quota established in that file. I only used pw_shell for backwards compatibility with the old vpopmail quotas. Regards, Bill Shupp

Basically, you need to have the spamd Daemon of the spamassassin package running on port 783 (standard port for it) thru which all messages smaller than 300k are filtered which means they get the SpamAssassin score (and nothing else!) added to their headers like: X-SpamAssassin-Score: 8.6/5.0 By default, the filtering is turned off so people who don't want to use it won't note much difference. For the others, if spamd isn't running, all messages will get delivered unchanged. To enable the functionality, pass --enable-spamassassing=y to configure. There's one remaining bug: the size parameter of Maildir++ won't get updated accordingly, I suppose this could be solved by stat()ing the file at the end and then renaming it, thoughts?

Another nasty is that the database notification daemon will spit its info out to the network (i.e. anyone accessing vchkpw) -- I will include a fix for that soon as well as some general cleanups and any other bus I find.

.qmal files in the domain directory are for qmail-local processing, NOT

It does NOT look at .qmail files in the domain's directory, just
.qmail files in the user's directory.

If I log in with the complete email address, it works; It only causes this problem when I try to connect to the vipmap'd domain without using the complete email address. I am not much of a coder, but I'm assuming the problem is that the authvchkpw module is looking at the user@default-domain instead of looking at user@ip-aliased-domain for the users directory.. Not finding the user in the default domain, it will not have a proper directory to find its Maildir/ and exits with this error. When logged into via the complete email address, Courier of course does not use the default domain and authenticates properly.. Am I right? Is there already a solution for this issue? Let me know if any more information is needed.. Thanks, You mention that SquirrelMail does not work. What if you telnet to 143 and test login that way? My guess is that squirrelmail is not passing the correct IP to courier-imap. One possible workaround would be to have squirrelmail look at the HTTP_HOST header and append the domain to the login.

I understand there are some issues with quota support in qmail+vpopmail. I just joined this mailing list, so if this was answered recently, I apologize. I think I am a little confused because vpopmail claims to support maildir quotas for qmail-pop3d, however there seem to be issues with it. The Problem: The problem seems well documented, the solution however doesn't. Email is sent, the maildirsize file grows, it approaches the quota size (90%) and emails the quotawarn.msg. However when the emails are removed, the maildirsize file is the same. The Patch: I don't smoke, but I did use the patch. I used `patch -p0 maildir-quota.patch` . I'm assuming it worked, there were no errors. I'm not too familiar with the patch command, but after some research, I think I found the right syntax to use. There is no patch called maildir-quota.patch that is supported by vpopmail. I don't think you have it patched correctly. The only included in the stable release is qmail-pop3d-maildirquota.patch.gz, and is located in the contrib directory. There is a newer version, that is available with the development versions of vpopmail, and it's filename is qmail-maildir++.patch. I recommend this one. Both are available on my site, www.shupp.org. Re-patch qmail with one of these, and that should solve your problems. i.e.: cd qmail-1.03 lynx --source http://www.shupp.org/patches/qmail-maildir++.patch | patch -p0 make qmailctl stop make setup check qmailctl start Regards, Bill Shupp

I have noticed that OutlookExpress for Macintosh (all versions for the last several years) will fail on pop several times (maybe 3 times, maybe 20 times) when a newly created pop account is used for the first time. By just clicking Send and Receive quickly a dozen or so times it eventually works. Once it works once it works forever. I don't know what it is about OutlookExpress, how it can behave differently for new accounts that have not previously been used. Would be interested if anyone else has solved this problem. I am new to this list - maybe the issue has been brought up before. Sounds like you are using POP before SMTP (roaming users). I believe Outlook tries to send before receiving (hence the send/receive button title). If you haven't authenticated via pop, then you can't relay and outbound mail will get the 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1) error. But the second attempt should succeed. Two solutions: 1. See if you can configure Outlook to pop first 2. Use SMTP-AUTH rather than roaming users. It's a better solution, and almost all modern MTAs support it now. And vpopmail 5.3.8+ supports CRAM-MD5, so Eudora should work too. Regards, Bill Shupp

Re: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail backup queue
On Wednesday, November 6, 2002, at 01:45 PM, Nate D. wrote: A client of mine had their mailserver go down this week, and has asked me if we can have ours act as a backup mailserver. I've got a pretty standard LWQ qmail setup with vpopmail. I have the client's mailserver's MX as 10, and my server as 20. I did some research, and found that all I should have to do is add the domain to the rcpthosts or morercpthosts, but make sure that it isn't added to locals or virtualdomains. I also found out about the smtproutes file, but seems that this file is only necessary if you need to force the server NOT to use the MX records. Here's my questions: 1. If I add the domain to morercpthosts, do I need to restart qmail or do anything with vpopmail? No, just run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newmrh to update the cdb file. The reasons I ask are because I saw a morercpthosts.cdb and morerspthosts.lock that I honestly don't remember seeing when I setup the server. Also, I added the domain in question to morercpthosts and watched the e-mail enter the queue and stay in there until I restarted qmail. 2. The smtproutes file doesn't exist in /var/qmail/control. Do I need it? If so, would I just add the file and qmail would know what to do with it? Yes, you'll need to add an entry to smtproutes like so: domain:host Where domain is the domain you are acting as a backup mail server for, and host is the hostname of the server should receive the mail.

Are there any serious differences that qmail, qmailadmin, courier-imap, etc would care about? I know that there's been a lot of development going on, but from a functional and practical point of view, would qmail use vpopmail in the same exact way? There are a couple of issues: 1. 5.0+ defaults to clear passwords being on, which alters the number of fields in the vqpasswd structure (vpasswd file, table definitions, etc). There were some problems with backwards compatibility early on, but 5.2.1 should be fine. If you want to be extra cautious, use --enable-clear-passwd=n. 2. Courier-imap will need to be upgraded.

Re: [vchkpw] IP-based vhosting
Courier-imap (as of today, latest version) is the pop server. I am using Ximian Evolution as my client. You need to use vipmap -a to add a map for vpopmail. It used to be reverse dns based, but a while back switched to an internal map. Also, couriertcpd sets the IP in IPv6 format, so you'll need a patch to vpopmail.c's host_in_locals that I posted to this list last week that converts it back to IPv4. Or, you could try disabling IPv6 in courier-imap, but I don't know for sure that that will work. Regards, Bill Shupp

Ok, Vladimir was right, TCPLOCALIP is in IPv6 from couriertcpd. So, I
just converted it in host_in_locals(), and now authvchkpw works.
However, authdaemon still will NOT work, since TCPLOCALIP does not get
passed to authvchkpw. The patch below applies to 5.3.11 (available at

your version with little effort. Let me know if this works for you.

Re: [vchkpw] courier + roaming users = how can it possibly work
On Thursday, October 24, 2002, at 04:30 PM, Nathan Neulinger wrote: As near as I can tell from the courier auth*vchkpw.c code, it only triggers either the vset_lastauth or the open_smtp_relay() routines BEFORE authentication. What good is that? Two problems - 1. The way it calls vset_lastauth in the pre* code means that you can have a denial of service race since it explicity sets the remote_ip field to imap. If it already had a useful value in it, it's lost. As above - this is done before checking the password, so any putz that tries to fake a login can dork the contents of the table. Plus - it never updates the lastauth with a real ip, so that table is essentially useless when used with courier. 2. The open_smtp_relay() call is also done prior to login, so it's not actually protecting anything. Seems like the current code implements Last time someone TRIED to log in from this IP, as opposed to last successful auth from this ip. Anyone have a patch to courier to fix this completely useless/broken behavior? Yup, you're right. This is pretty stupid. I'm surprised no one noticed before. I have a couple of ideas for fixing it: 1. move the open_smtp_relay() and vset_lastauth() stuff to a new vchkpw_post() function that is called AFTER authentication is verified. The downside is that this will be a second lookup in the vchkpw auth module (the authinfo struct doesn't have a method to store the vpopmail gid field), which would double auth traffic for anyone that uses these functions. 2. Modify auth_vchkpw_pre() to include the password provided. But I don't fully understand all the components of Sam's auth module structure, so I'm not sure of any ramifications of doing this. This is probably the simplest method, though. Thoughts? Regarding the logging of service in the lastauth table, probably the cleanest thing would be to update the vset_lastauth() function to include both service and IP. In the short term, though, you could always replace servcice with getenv(TCPREMOTEIP). Regards, Bill Shupp
