Re: [vchkpw] Deleting primary domain; keeping alias domains

And I want one of the current domain aliases to become the primary domain. I can't find any comprehensive documentation for vdeldomain. Maybe it will do what I want; I don't have a test system to try it on though. An alias is just that, an alias. It is not an actual domain. If you delete the primary, the alias will not function because there is no primary domain data for it to alias. I guessed that, which is why I was asking how to delete the primary domain. I want one of the domain aliases to become the primary domain. Is there any way to do that short of completely recreating the setup for that domain/directory? The primary domain is no longer in use (has expired) and I would like to completely remove all references to it. My thought was to 'mv' the domain directory to the name of the domain alias, and manually edit the qmail/users/assign file accordingly. But I don't know if there are other locations where the primary domain name is stored that would also need to be updated. (I'm ignoring rcpthosts, etc for now since they seem to be easy changes.)

As suspected the problem was a result of upgrading to OS X Leopard (10.5). From what I can tell from the threads (below) is that doing a vfork/execve combined with relative path ( chdir) and SUID binaries doesn't work as expected in Leopard. That combination prevented qmail-queue from being found (relative path) in some circumstances. (It's the some circumstances that has me baffled.) Anyway, the solution is to either switch from vfork to fork, or make sure qmail-queue is called with absolute path. I chose to specify absolute path since the man pages for vfork/fork indicate a shared memory benefit with vfork. I had to update qmail.c from netqmail and idx.h from ezmlm. I read the following threads to reach these conclusions: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/qmail/users/134375 http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/qmail/users/134356#134356 http://www.nabble.com/Can't-get-ezmlm-idx-to-work,-unable-to-exec-qq.-Need-help-td15082423.html Hopefully this will save others from fighting with this for weeks (months) the way I did.

[vchkpw] APOP connections not working
Good afternoon, Connections that use APOP for authentication have not been working on our server. I assumed that was because I was using an older version of vpopmail. I recently installed qmail/vpopmail (5.4.10) on another server and found that APOP was working. So I decided to upgrade our main server to 5.4.10 to enable APOP functionality. But it's still not working. What do I need to do to enable APOP authentication for POP connections? I am using the following configure options: ./configure --disable-clear-passwd --prefix=/mail/local I haven't tested with the following options since the defaults seemed suitable. --enable-apop-file=/etc/apop-secrets directory where apop secrerts are stored. --enable-apop=y|n Enable or disable apop authentication.

This bothered me for a long time, so I began a long search for answers. I was not able to get a definitive answer, but I'm confident this is accurate. Apple Mail does not have a setting for choosing APOP or plain-text authentication, so it simply tries APOP first and if that fails then falls back to plain-text. I don't remember where I found this answer; I think it was one of Apple's discussion forums. Which then leads to my next question which I haven't found an answer for. How can I easily change vpopmail accounts to use APOP instead? I only want to do that for the users that are using Apple Mail (or unless users request APOP). And the only way I have found for setting APOP is when creating new accounts. Is there a way to change *existing* accounts to use APOP? BTW, I'd love to have an option for setting APOP in qmailadmin when creating (or updating) accounts. And adding that feature is beyond my skill level. Any offers of assistance?
