[vchkpw] [SPAM] authdaemond: Installing libauthvchkpw file not found

[Brad]

I am using gentoo and installed netqmail from portage.

My mysql database is created and all of the vpopmail stuff inside but in
'no' way does vpopmail appear to be communicating with mysql

Ssl connection attempt  -  http://pastie.org/5590945

Packet scan  - http://tinypic.com/r/3483oki/6
authdaemondrc - http://bpaste.net/show/66987/

 

And since authvchkpw is not even mentioned here:

# The authentication modules that are linked into authdaemond.  The

# default list is installed.  You may selectively disable modules simply

# by removing them from the following list.  The available modules you

# can use are: authuserdb authpam authshadow authmysql authcustom authpipe

 

I have to assume there is a use flag or something missing.

 

I have never seen this software work for anyone and this is my 3rd attempt
since 2007.
Would love to see it working just once.

Re: [vchkpw] Re: Create account with SQL query

[Brad Pinkston]

I'm still a newbie with PHP, but I would be willing to help contribute 
to a web interface to Vpopmail using PHP.  I've created a squirrelmail 
plugin to add DOB, crypted SSN, and secret question to the vpopmail user 
record to use with another interface to reset passwords.  It's been 
pretty successful.

So, if anyone else is inclined to use/develop PHP for a Qmailadmin 
replacement let me know and we can work together on a portable version.

AFAIK, using SQL to remove a user will NOT remove the underlying 
filesystem info for that user.  You will need to handle that.  There 
has been some work on a vpopmail daemon (vpopmaild) with a php 
interface, that would delete a user just as if you did it via the 
command-line utilities.

Thanks in advance.

[vchkpw] Quota issue on automatic move

[Brad Pinkston]

I'm a newbie, so I appreciate the responses if 
this is an easy fix. A few clients(college students)are using 
filters in squirrelmail to automatically move spam tagged messages from INBOX to 
a SPAM folder on login. These users will wait for their quota to be 95% 
before cleaning anything out, and if they have this auto move set up when they 
try to login Courier won't allow the move. I apologize if this should be 
addresses on a Courier board, but I was wondering if I could get a quick opinion 
on a fix.

Subject: [vchkpw] mailfilter problem


Greetings and salutations to all.
I have qmail with vpopmail 5.4.7 installed and its
great! I have it inter-twined with spamassassin for
stopping spam, but I want to stop deleting all
messages and put them into individual folders for the
users to look at/remove at thier leisure (or 7 days
later wipe the folder for them winks)
I see all the scripts and have installed and played
with most of them.
I have the  .qmail-default set up in the domain
directory that I am testing before I make it live on
the bigger domain, and its set up just like all the
samples and references say to.
I have the standard mailfilter file with the right
permissions and all and every thing looks great,
located in the domains/testdomain/  folder.
One problem.  No matter what I do,  $EXT  *always*
returns   devnull   as the user.
$HOST returns the correct information and the ENV
dumped to a file shows it as such.
I've double checked this via dumping the ENV to a file
and yupp, the EXT environment variable IS  devnull.
According to the Changelog for vpopmail-5.4.7, it says
that this problem was fixed  to now correctly set the
$EXT
can someone point me in a direction as to what to look
for?   I'm using RH 9 and its been great until I
started to try and get this option running.
thanks in advance!

[vchkpw] Create account with SQL query

[Brad Pinkston]

Can an account be created by inserting username and 
crypted password directly into the database? Basically, will vpopmail 
create the pw_dir field entry, then set and create the actual directory 
according to the directory structure? 

We'd like to create a custom user management 
interface without having to do command line calls if possible.

 Hi,

 I'm finally settling in to a nice vpopmail install, and I'm trying to help
 our support staff deal with this wildly different system (the old
 mailserver was sendmail/uw-imap).  There were a number of shell scripts
 and whatnot on the old server to show things like what aliases from any
 hosted domain pointed to what accounts, mail usage reports, etc.

 Before I go nuts and re-invent the wheel, does anyone have anything that
 could either go in the contrib directory of the vpopmail distribution or
 perhaps somewhere on the sf.net site?

 Some handy things I have in mind:

 -alias mapper (something to show what aliases go where)
 -quota report (who is over quota at the moment, who's approaching quota)
 -.qmail checker (look for completely bogus/illegal .qmail files, verify
 that somewhere in each domain vdelivermail is called)
 -any log parsing tools that deal with vpopmail's mysql logging
 -any web tools beyond qmailadmin/vqadmin

 There's more, but I'm curious what people have and what you'd like to
 publically share.

Hi Charles,

I'd like to see what you find. Maybe we could have a repository of tools like 
these on sourceforge.

[vchkpw] Problem with vchkpw

[Brad]

I have a Debian (Woody) system and it is running shadow passwords.  I have
qmail installed and woking just fine.  I did a basic install (no config
options) for vpopmail.  Everything installed fin but when I change my
/etc/inetd.conf file to this pop3 stream tcp nowait root
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup email.byesville.net
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir (all one line)
I cannot authenticate any users on the system popping  mail or loggin gon to
a webbased email system.  What am I missing on the install for vpopmail.  I
shouldn't have to create a virtual domain for my local system and it should
authenticate properly like before.  Please corrrect me if I am wrong.  I
have created a virtual domain and two users on that domain and it still
doesn't work.

  What does this mean when I try and login:

email:/etc# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup email.byesville.net
/home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw
+OK [EMAIL PROTECTED]
user bswest
+OK
pass **
-ERR authorization failed
email:/etc#

password is correct and user does exist on the system and is a virtual user
as well.

RE: [vchkpw] Question about roaming

[Brad Davis]

Andrea,

Running every minute or clearing the rules every 15 is probably a little
paranoid. You might want to look into SMTP AUTH so that you don't have to
worry about opening a relay. I set my open relay to 1 day due to people not
checking their email often enough to keep the relay open when they are
sending. If your going to keep the same setup you only need to run
clearopensmtp every 15 minutes or so. I don't think you will see any problem
running it every 15 minutes.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail 5.3.29 - 5.3.30 vchkpw changes/SMTP AUTH Problem

[Brad Davis]

Hello,

I'm using qmail with the SMTP AUTH  TLS patch and it has been working fine,
until today. Today I upgraded from 5.3.29 to 5.3.30. Has anyone else noticed
a problem with this? The only change I now about to vchkpw was the fixing of
the roaming users support. Did this have negative affects on SMTP AUTH? My
POP3 authorizations are working fine.

This is what I see in my maillog:
Dec  5 22:57:30 h1 vpopmail[18073]: vchkpw-smtp: vpopmail user not found

  This is the first time I have heard of it being on sourceforge as

 That's me, overreaching my bounds again.

 Oden Eriksson had built a 2.0.4 release that included the security fix.
   The inter7.com site still had 2.0.2 up, and I wanted to make some
 changes to the exit codes so I could safely use it on a recent trip
 (hiking in the Grand Canyon).

 I jumped to the conclusion that Inter7 wasn't actively maintaining it
 and I decided to add it to the qmailadmin project on SourceForge.  I
 also put it in CVS there.  I altered it heavily to suit the needs of a
 vacation responder.

 While hiking, I had a lot of time to think, and came to many of the
 conclusions that Jeremy did on the vchkpw list while I was away.  That
 we essentially need two different programs -- one to act as an
 autoresponder for mail robots, and one to act as a vacation responder
 for POP/IMAP mailboxes.

Please give me more details on what you guys want added, etc. Since the two
functions are really the same it would be easiest just to add some extra
options to the code. And a sourceforge project is fine. Just was curious how
it got there. And whomever added the patch's can take over maintaining it
there and I can give them some updates or he can code. I have been very busy
with work so my extra time has gone to sleeping.


 It could easily be the same program with different command-line options.

 If Inter7 is maintaining it, I can drop it from the QmailAdmin project.
   Or, you could set it up on SF as it's own project.  Or, we can leave
 it there.  I don't really care.

 I would like to see someone else spend some time working on it so I can
 trust it with my email account.  Jeremy, I've added you to the
 QmailAdmin SF project so you can access the CVS repository.  If you
 want, you can start from the original upload (2.0.4) and ignore all of
 my changes, and submit your changes to the repository.

 If it's going to continue to be a part of the QmailAdmin project, I'll
 add Brad as well.


Not sure if Inter7 is going to keep handling the dev. What is the story with
vpopmail and qmailadmin? Sourceforge is a great place. Use it almost daily.

Thanks,
Brad

Speaking of this patch. I think there is a 
potential of people being able to harvest e-mail accounts using a dictionary,

 Just thinking out loud.

 The approach of tarpitting is to slow down the attacker without impacting
 your network or requiring additional resources on your end to deal with
 the cracker.  I *think* it does this by analyzing the volume of incoming
 SMTP requests from the same host.

 The approach of chkuser is to reduce the amount of incoming messages by
 denying unknown recipients before the message Data is transmitted.

 I would hate to see an expanded chkuser that requires extensive database
 activity to log/monitor/tarpit the username requests.  That's throwing
 more resources at a problem

 I think its entirely appropriate to respond VERY slowly to an unknown
 username request.  HOWEVER, if I suddenly have a shortage of SMTPD daemons
 because they are left open to service the chkuser tarpit, and that hurts
 my email service quality, then I haven't gained anything.  I would rather
 be fast at dumping chkuser denials and let them guess.

 I guess if there was a child daemon that could handle ALL of the chkuser
 tarpits (instead of keeping an SMTPD open) then we might have something
 really great.

 Sorry if I'm being too utopian, or too vague.  Just trying to contribute.
 D.

I thought on this whole ordeal for several hours and the best way I could
come up with is the following:

If so many invalid addresses in one connection then enter ip in tcpserver's
tcp.smtp file with a deny of IP. This will be removed every so many minutes
by a cron job. This way you could add a dely on how fast they could get the
addressess. Thi seems to be the least overhead way that I have come up with.
Any thoughts on this?

I am trying to install vpomail on openbsd 3.3. I have installed many times
on various flavours of linux with no issue.

When issuing make I get the following error...

bash# make
make  all-recursive
Making all in cdb
gcc -I. -Icdb -g -O2 -Wall -c vdelivermail.c
vdelivermail.c: In function `date_header':

Is anyone able to shed sone light on this for me?

[vchkpw] Compile issues

[Brad]

Hi
I have previously installed on redhat without any 
issues. Now I am trying to install vpopmail on debian 3.0 .

I get the following error.

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o vchkpw 
vchkpw.o libvpopmail.a -L/root/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lnsl 
-lcrypt -lm/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lzcollect2: ld returned 1 exit 
statusmake[2]: *** [vchkpw] Error 1make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/src/vpopmail-5.2.1'make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1make[1]: 
Leaving directory `/usr/src/vpopmail-5.2.1'make: *** [all-recursive-am] 
Error 2

Now, I installed the libmysqlclient10-dev package 
using apt and the includes and libs have been installed on the system. When this 
failed I downloaded the source for mysql and installed it into /root/mysql (as 
you can see by the output above) as a temp solution. It seems this did not work 
either.

So if I use the default locations for the libs and 
incs it fails, and if I use the temp install I made, it fails. Failing at the 
following line:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o vchkpw 
vchkpw.o libvpopmail.a -L/root/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz -lnsl 
-lcrypt -lm/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lz
I am at a loss as to why this is failing. I looked 
through the makefile and there are alot of references to -lz
I was tempted to remove them all, but thought I 
should find a real answer here.

Is anyone able to point me in the right direction? 
What is the -lz all about (I am a long way from being any kind of 
programmer...)

Not that I know of because of the way it authenticates. It takes the @domain
part and figures out which password file to use. Then takes the user name
and authenticates against it in that file.

 Hello guru's

 I recently have been tasked with the project of providing a email solution
 for a project at work. They currently use sendmail with qpopper for some
 500 aliases and send/receive a little more than 400,000 messages a month.

 Now comes the fun part they are about to migrate the North and South
 Americas
 mail.support which is currently housed on Exchange (ewww). So in light of
 this
 there sendmail/qpopper will quickly get over ran.

 I have convinced them to allow me to setup qmail as a solution for them,
and
 they have accepted it, woot.

 Now I have done some reading and implementing on a test box with the
 following,
 qmail + qmailadmin + vpopmail + autoresponder + ezmlm (just incase they
want
 mailing list) + clamav + qmailscanner. All works great, and they love it.

 Now here is my question to you guys, when I create a virtual domain e.g.
 mailsupport.hp.com (this has the current 500 aliases) and I start adding
 users
 via qmailadmin and the vpopmail, I'm have noticed something I hope you
guys
 can
 help me fix. Say I create a user called lj4050 (laserjet 4050) his email
 address
 is [EMAIL PROTECTED], and his login is [EMAIL PROTECTED],
is
 there
 a way to make his login just lj4050 and not have the @domain part?

 The problem is that vdelivermail doesn't support wildcards.  This
 affects both the valias feature and qmail-ext feature.  So, for
 example, if you have a valias entry for list (.qmail-list),
 vdelivermail will not process a message to list-subscribe because it
 doesn't check for the wildcard list-default (.qmail-list-default).  I'm
 working on adding this, but it may be a few days before I get it done.
 This should hopefully solve the problem.

RE: [vchkpw] Re: New user with problems!

[Brad Dameron]

First off make sure that 89 is the ID of the vpopmail user and 89 is the
group for vchkpw. I sure hope you didn't set the vpopmail users home
directory as /. Or you will have a hell of a lot of problems. I have mine
set to a /mail parition. Then that partition is owned by vpopmail.vchkpw.
That is why you are getting a access denied error. Cause it tries to write
to the ~vpopmail/etc directory but doesn't have permissions to.

RE: [vchkpw] Major autorespond problems.

[Brad Dameron]

Of course it is going to block the messages. It thinks that she is spamming
it with a whole lot of messages. It is doing exactly what it was designed to
do. I have never heard of anyone that CC's themselves to make sure the
message is delivered. Why not put a request on the message so the client
sends the recieved and read message back to her like most people do.

The thing is, there is no problem with vpopmail or the autoresponder. It is
how they or you are trying to use it. There are reason's it is setup like it
is. To prevent autoresponder loops. What if her autoresponder responds to
another autoresponder, then that one responds back, and yes another
autoresponder get's in the loop because someone else has one, then it
responds back. Before you know it you have hundreds of duplicate messages
because of looping issues.  The reason it is stopping at 3 messages is
because it see's the message as coming from HER. Which infact it is coming
from her. So it hits the 3 message limit from one individual. EXACTLY how it
is designed and configured.

 Subject: [vchkpw] Major autorespond problems.


 Hi all,

 Some of you may recall my recent troubles/complaints with autorespond
 (which is required for the QmailAdmin package), and how I went
 about trying
 to solve it.  For what its worth, my efforts appear to have
 failed.  Let me
 explain.

 I have had a number of complaints from a very large corporate client
 regarding delayed e-mails.  These complaints are getting steadily
 worse.  Some can be attributed to issues not related to the
 function of the
 mail server in question, but unfortunately most can.  To best
 explain what
 is happening, I am going to demonstrate how this situation comes about,
 step by step.

 1.  High-powered corporate executive sends out many e-mails to many
 employees each day.  This executive follows company policy and
 CC's herself
 on every message she sends.  She also, like many in her company,
 makes use
 of the vacation/autoresponder function within QmailAdmin daily.

 2.  Executive sends 5 e-mails one morning.  She notices that she receives
 only 3 of her CC'ed copies, and receives the others later (ranging from 1
 to 5 days, usually during the weekend [clue!]).  She receives complaints
 from others, who also use vacation/autoresponder [clue!].

 3.  Diligent sysadmin checks logs .. delivering okay.  Sysadmin checks
 queue .. hmm, missing messages in queue.  Sysadmin -HUP's qmail-send and
 see's some messages delivered, sometimes, and sometimes none.  Sysadmin
 checks logs, and see's messages from autorespond saying too many messages
 received from user, delaying.

 I hope you're still with me.

 This is what I believe is happening:  The messages are being
 delivered, and
 auto-responses are being sent until the hard-coded limit of 3 messages in
 86400 minutes (1 day) from a single user are received.  Then autorespond
 does not send an response to the sender, and for some reason, the
 original
 message is NOT delivered and is re-queued for later.

 That is not acceptable.

 This problem occurred using an unmodified autorespond (2.03) and using my
 modified version of that program (which was supposed to pass the proper
 error codes to vdelivermail).  Has anyone else experienced this?

 There are three ways I can approach solving this:

 1.  Remove the vacation/autorespond option from my
 customers.  Unfortunately this is not an option.

 2.  Modify QmailAdmin to increase the autorespond limits it
 creates within
 the users .qmail file.  I'm tempted to increase them 100 fold
 just to save
 some hassle, but this doesn't solve the overall issue.

 3.  Work to fix this, even if it means modifying autorespond again.  And
 there is also the possibility that autoresponder isn't the entire
 problem,
 but vdelivermail as well (which explains why I'm posting this on the
 Vpopmail list).

 So, without further ado, a little help?

 -- Steve

 But I think the intended/preferred behavior should be to not send the

 At least that's how I understood the original message, and how I

 Autorespond shouldn't do anything to affect the delivery of the
 original message.  It should only decide whether to respond or not.

RE: [vchkpw] Big site setup.

[Brad Dameron]

Actually the big site setup is the mysql portion. It changes the table
structure for sites that have large amounts of users, not large amounts of
sites. It should start putting the sites into seperate inode style
directories. So after the first 200 or so domains it should create a 0
directory then stick the next 200 or so, then create a 1 directory and do
the same. That way there is not more than so many domains per directory.
This is done because of the Linux FS starts to bottleneck when a certain
directory/file tree get's to large.

The problem most likely is related to the MAXPERIP=4 setting. If you use
this with webmail you have to increase this value.

 Subject: Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail bug?


 Can anyone else reproduce this problem?
 What version of courier-imap are you using?

 The authlib/preauthvchkpw.c file is worth checking against
 the one on the inter7 page. Mysql Quits can be caused by
 a program not calling mysql_close before exiting. Which in
 of itself would not cause an authentication failure.

 It's worth double checking your courier-imap configuration
 file. The one that specifies max client connections.

 The vpopmail ChangeLog shows the change to the email
 parser function and also reports that it fixed all known problems.

 To really track down the problem, lots of debugging output is needed
 to isolate what is ocurring. Hopefully leading to a solution :)

   There is a bug in vpopmail's email parser function which adds extra

RE: [vchkpw] Upgraded vpopmail broke username-ext@domain functionality

[Brad Dameron]

No,

If you use the aliases in mysql, table valias, then vpopmail doesn't pass
the extension correctly to the ezmlm alias. So anyone that is using the
mysql aliases and ezmlm should revert to using the .qmail-list file in the
virtual directory.

 Hi,

 I recently upgraded vpopmail (using mysql) and my ability to send mail to
 user-ext@domain is now broken.

 for example:
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] delivers to me fine however
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets sent to the postmaster.

 I compiled vpopmail with the --enable-qmail-ext=y option but it
 did not fix
 my issue.  I am using version 5.3.8

 Here is a log entry:

The error is happening with both adding the domain and adding the users.

I added domains for a couple of test domains into bind and then tried with

 hello everybody

 this question has already be posted several times during the last
 weeks/months and there has never been any reply...
 so I guess nobody knows the answer ?

 I get the error Error: Domain does not exist when using
 vadddomain...

 here is the situation:

 - linux 2.2.20
 - qmail 1.03 (patched with
   http://matt.simerson.net/computing/qmail/qmail-1.03-matt-toaster.patch)
 - tcpserver 0.88 (patched with
   http://matt.simerson.net/computing/qmail/ucspi-tcp-0.88-mysql.patch)
 - vpopmail 5.0

 I want all authentication to go through mysql, the tables are all OK,
 I am 100% strict : the SQL-server is working OK, connect info
 is in /var/qmail/control/sql.

 files under /var/qmail/users/ are syntactically OK, since I finally
 copied assign, cdb from a different working server.
 Empty files (including a one-dotted line) did not work too.

 the entries in rcpthosts and virtualdomains is being made, all OK.
 the directory in /home/vpopmail/domains is also created, containing a
 .qmail-default file, but nothing for postmaster.
 the assign file also does not contain any info regarding the
 postmaster.
 the sql-tabel vpopmail seems to be left untouched after the
 vadddomain.

 I would really be glad if somebody could have a closer look at the
 strace below...

I appreciate everyone's feedback on this.

A couple of last things I need to ask:

Perhaps the downside of using NFS or other shared volume is at a certain
point, the number of directories and files it has to handle will be too
great whereas if I go with separate servers, this is not a problem and
likely an increase in performance.

I guess it all depends on the type of hardware one has but is this
something you take seriously ?

What about scalability ?

Thanks.

You should always create some type of configure script when you compile a
program. I myself use a myconfig script which has all the compile options
in it. Then you won't run into those kinds of dilemas.

But I forget the compile options I'v used (you know it's very complex and

ther any other way?

Gabriel Ambuehl vaddaliasdomain changes.

[Brad Dameron]

Are these changes being implemented into the new vpopmail. Something like
this definately needs to be done. The symbolic links are NOT needed if setup
correctly. There seems to be too many problems with using the symbolic
links. There is definately better ways to handle aliased domains. I have
tons of aliased domains left over in my virtualdomains, rcpthosts, and
assign files from when I deleted the domains. If his patch isn't what we
want then tell me and I will write one. I already modified vpopmail 5.0 to
NOT use the symbolic links for my personal usage.

vpopmail 5.0 bug/change.

[Brad Dameron]

Alright. I upgraded from vpopmail 4.9.9 to 5.0.

Issue:

In the old vpopmail you could use just the username in the .qmail-default
for the catchall account. If you do that now it creates a mail looping issue
and you must change it to the full path. Considering I have a little over
400 virtuals on this mail server now and most use the username this is not
good.

Did you correct the problem with the new vpopmail not creating the
directories for a user if they don't exhist? We add the user to the MySQL
database and then would issue a email to the user to have it create the
directories. This no longer works.

pre5 is available for download.

One issue addressed and I think fixed is aliased domains.

You can now authenticate against an aliased domain with
the vchkpw pop auth program.

There is a vget_real_domain( char *domain, int buff_size)
function that looks up the domain in the assign cdb file.
Aliased domains have the same directory as the real domain

For example:

+test.com-:test.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com:-::
+ken.com-:ken.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com:-::

test.com is the real domain and ken.com is the aliased 
domain. Notice that both have the same directory
/home/vpopmail/domains.test.com

the vget_real_domain parses the domain name out of
the directory path, and sets the domain buffer
to be what is found in the path. 

Hence, pop authentication for [EMAIL PROTECTED] would have
the ken.com part changed to test.com. Then the
vchkpw program proceeds are normal, doing a 
vauth_getpw( user, test.com)

Hmmm. Interesting. It looks to be working on one machine. But not the other.

The only difference's is in my virtualdomains file for qmail.

Here is the one that works.

tscnet.com:tscnet.com
sinclair.net:tscnet.com
sincom.com:tscnet.com
mail.sincom.com:tscnet.com
mail.sinclair.net:tscnet.com
mail.tscnet.com:tscnet.com
mail.tscnet.net:tscnet.com
tscnet.net:tscnet.com


I modified it by had so all domains point to the directory and not the
symbolic link you create. The one that still points to the symbolic links
doesn't seem to work.

Example:

tscnet.com:tscnet.com
sinclair.net:sinclair.net
sincom.com:sincom.com


These are all one domain. So sinclair.net has a symbolic link to tscnet.com
and so does sincom.com.

And it works for me. the key thing here is the right hand

ken.com has /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com resulting
in the domain being set to test.com.

I tested it with ./configure --enable-mysql=y

The path for the alias domain in the assign file must have
the path to the real domain. Which 5.0pre4 will setup automatically.

Hey ken,

That worked. However vpopmail will no longer authenticate any users that use
the aliased domain name.

So if a user does username@tscnet.com it authenticates. If a user does
username@sinclair.net (our other domain) it says user not found. What do I
need to do to get it to authenticate the second domain. Is there now a MySQL
table or change that needs to be done. I read that the new vpopmail uses
MySQL for aliases and other things.

Thats fair enough! Okay, so the next question is - does this matter at
all for vpopmail? If it does I can put a patch together that does this
and submit it to you if you want. If it doesnt then I can put a patch
up on a website if anyone wants it which I'll try to keep up to date
with vpopmail stable versions (which I tend to follow with our

get more testing in the development versions.

 Yes, there is another reason. I like to get about 8 hours of

autorespond 1.0

[Brad Dameron]

Does anyone have a patch to remove the header information from the response
of the autoresponder? I still want to keep the message sent to the
responder. Just get rid of the delivered to header information.

Thank you.

Aliasing issue.

[Brad Dameron]

We put a .qmail-test in our domain directory. We have a user of test and
test1. In that file is:

test@domain
test1@domain

How can we have it deliver mail to both mailbox's? It seems to create a
weird loop because of the alias of test matching the user of test. Is there
a way to get it to deliver to both even when the alias is the same as the
first user?

Major Auth problem.

[Brad Dameron]

  Here is a list of problems we are encountering.

  If a user tries to use username@domain they can not authenticate. This is
how the older copies of Eudora function.  Another thing is I am using
Courier Imap with the authvckpw and if a user use's username@domain it will
authenticate the primary domain but will not authenticate the aliased
domains correctly. There is also the problem with if you do a vpasswd
user@aliaseddomain it thus fails because vpopmail doesn't see it as pointing
to the primary domain. All these problems are related to the same thing.
This is a major problem I am encountering.

  Also when you do a vdeldomain domain it does not remove the aliased
domains. So now I have a bunch of symbolic links that goto nowhere.

FW: failure notice

[Brad Dameron]

   I set vpopmail with the --enable-default-domain=tscnet.net.  Now when I
do a adduser test test it will add the user in the /vmail/users directory
which is where I want the users to go but it doesn't add them correctly to
MySQL so they can not authenticate. Is this not how it is supposed to work?
I would prefer to use the users directory for the system users mail. I am
trying to use vpopmail for our primary mail server without any other
domains.

[Brad Dameron]

What is the users directory used for on vpopmail? Wouldn't that be where it
stores the default domains users? Is there a way to set it up to do this? I
know vpopmail is designed for virtual domains but I am trying to use it for
my main mail server as well. I have around 8,000 customers with accounts.
Would qmail-pop3 be better to use or will this do the trick?

  I know you can put the catch all email account in the .qmail-default file.
But can you put multiple catch all accounts? Should I do this via a forward?
Like set the catch all account to be like zzz@domainname and then set zzz as
a forward to the other accounts?

   Hi List;
  
   I'm really not sure if this is possible, but here is my question.
  
   With VPOPMail, you can support /etc/passwd users.  With the
  POP3 daemon
   that comes with it, you can authenticate an /etc/passwd
  user and open up
   the relay for that user.
  
   Now, if you use another program that works off of the
  vpopmail library
   (such as courier imap for example) it will handle virtual
  domain users (in
   the form of [EMAIL PROTECTED]) but, it will NOT handle
  /etc/passwd users
   being passed down to the vpopmail authentication module and
  thus open a
   relay for that user.
  
   I suppose the answer would be to move the /etc/passwd users
  into a virtual
   domain and compile it with default domain, but it seems
  that since the
   vpopmail program can handle it, why can the library not
  handle it for
   other programs that support vpopmail authentication?
 
  It should work.  Just have courierimap ONLY use the
  authvchkpw module.  And
  if vchkpw is setup to authorize /etc/passwd users, it should work.

RE: Courier IMAP

Easier to do the following:

``env LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz"'' ./configure

Put that on the command line or run it from another script as I do.

 Thanks a lot to everyone who has replied to my problem.  
 After searching
 through various archives ive found the following, which fixed 
 the problem:
 in authlibs/Makefile
 
 change  "libauth_authvchkpw_a_LIBADD ="
 to
  "libauth_authvchkpw_a_LIBADD = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient"
 
 an "authvchkpw_LDFLAGS ="
 to
 "authvchkpw_LDFLAGS = -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient"
 
 Then it fails once, and I have to edit authlib/authvchkpw.libsdep to
 include -L/var/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient
 
 Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.  Seems to be 
 very bad coding
 or something in the Courier IMAP package... but it works now 
 for the purpose
 I wanted, so thats ok.

authdaemond?

Aliasing problem.

[Brad Dameron]

First off I am using Qmailadmin 0.42 and Vpopmail 4.9.8 with
MySQL.
There seems to be a problem with using aliases when a popaccount
has a "_" underscore in the username. I have a user of "erin_s" and I 
tried to add a alias of "reporter". It looks like it add's it but does not
display it. Then I tried an alias of "testing" and that worked. Something
I noticed in the Vpopmail database under the "dir_control" table under
cur_users it only shows 3 when there is actually 6. It seems to not notice
the 3 users with the "_" underscore in the username. Please advise on how
to fix this.

The .qmail-default file holds the catch all user info. I would use the

yet to get a response on a fix. So does anyone know the format of this
file so I can setup a domain with one account to catch all of the main for
it?

Thank you.

Additional domains.

[Brad Dameron]

First I am using Qmailadmin .39 and vpopmail 4.9.7. How can I
setup qmail to accept mail to "checkoutisle.net" and
"mail.checkoutislenet" for the same virtual? I am using MySql database
with vpopmail. The checkoutisle.net domain works fine since I used
vadddomain. But then I manually added mail.checkoutisle.net to the
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts file and the virtualdomains file. Then I
added it to the vpopmail database under the vpopmail table. So the
testuser account is identical. Even after a reload of qmail it still
bounce's the mail. The only other file I see that might need edited is the
/var/qmail/users/assign file but I have no idea what change. Anyone else
doing this? It should be part of the vpopmail package.

 Hi,
 
 I have installed QMAIL + VPOPMAIL 4.9.7 on Redhat Linux 7.0. Facing a very
 strange problem.
 
 On installation of VPOPMAIL everything works fine i am able to reveive and
 send emails to virtual domains.
 
 After certain time around 30-60 minutes the virtual domains stops working.
 i.e. It does not recognize the user and domains any more. I checked the
 domains directory in vpopmail, everything is there as it is. But none of the
 domains are accessible through any of the vpopmail executables, i tried
 vuserinfo also it says no such user or domain. But the same setup works fine
 for half an hour immediately after installation, i was able to vuserinfo on
 the user, and was able to send and receive emails.
 
 I checked the logs also it says cannot chdir to maildir. For any incoming
 emails which are received and it does not recognize the pop user for
 incoming emails. I am very confused now since if there was any configuration
 problem it should not work at all (but it works for inital half hour or so).
 
 After having the problem if i remove all the domain directorys from the
 domains directory in vpopmail. And again add the domains everything works
 fine again. But stops agina after sometime.
 
 Have anyone faced this kind of problem? Any solutions?? Suggestions?
 
 Any help will be appreciated. (BTW, i tried the same with VPOPMAIL 4.9.6-1
 and the same problem occured)
 
 Arvind Agarwal

It sounds to me like a permissions problem. As in one of your programs is
running as the root user instead of the vpopmail user and changing
ownership of the qmail files to root. You need to make sure you installed
Qmail correctly using the proper usernames and groups.
