[vchkpw] Lists, stable/devel, and "where is it" for newbies
My hope, now that Ken and Tom have apparently been united in mind, is that the mailing lists, "stable" vs. "devel" issues, and what the Inter7 website and Sourceforge project pages say about vpopmail will be quickly and uniformally aligned as well. Just consider what a new user to vpopmail would encounter if they searched Sourceforge for *this* list and its VERY helpful archives. Also consider what a newbie would find if they went to Inter7 to find current source code and development mail list(s). It's hard enough as a new user to spend time Googling to find answers, but dual, unaligned "official" web sites would be truly awful. Again, my hope is that Ken and Tom (and all other related parties) can again gather the vpopmail resources into a unified organization with a common and well understood direction. I worry that there will be lingering confusion about who does what with whom and where, such that it will impact future adoption of the application It's too darned good for that! D.
Re: [vchkpw] Re: Tom's fork of vpopmail (and qmailadmin)
My only two points: 1) *IF* there is a fork, with two codebases, follow the others' suggestions and name the new fork differently so that we can have sane discussions about which program we are dealing with on any given matter. 2) *IF* there is a fork, and for either fork, manage releases and bug checking with the CVS "proving ground" to deal with dev. issues. I would be hard pressed right now to recommend a particular "stable" version of vpopmail due to the heavy (and very welcome) rapid development and code polishing efforts over the last two months. I LOVE the product, the confusion scares me. D. Tom Collins wrote: On Tuesday, September 9, 2003, at 10:07 AM, Ken Jones wrote: Just so everyone knows. Tom Collins is attempting to fork the vpopmail project. He refuses to let me share ownership of the vpopmail and qmailadmin projects on source forge. When I asked him to add me as an owner on the project he said he refuses now and at any time in the future to allow me to share ownership. I have forked ownership since I felt that Inter7 was doing a poor job of maintaining vpopmail and qmailadmin. I readily acknowledge that Ken created vpopmail and qmailadmin. They're GPL projects, so I'm free to fork them if I like. Since moving the projects to SourceForge, we've kept up with submitted patches and bug reports. I feel that making the move was beneficial to the projects themselves and the people that use them. I'm certainly not doing this to be malicious or to hurt Ken and Inter7. I've told Ken that he's more than welcome to contribute to the project on SourceForge, or to maintain his own version of vpopmail and qmailadmin. I also stated that until I stopped actively maintaining vpopmail and qmailadmin, I saw no need to add him as a project administrator. Michael Bowe has been actively involved with vpopmail development, and I had no problem adding him as an admin. Ken Jones hasn't contributed to vpopmail and qmailadmin development since March. We've had 12 qmailadmin releases and 7 vpopmail releases since then. Managing the projects on SourceForge keeps everything out in the open, and allows anyone to contribute. Ken hasn't stated why he wants to be an owner of the project. I'm not sure I understand what he loses out on by being a developer on the project and not an admin. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail and mysql replication
You could potentially code in a multiple call update from vpopmail to some IFDEF'd in mysql servers. I'm thinking that you could make certain update calls to as many MySQL servers as you wanted, sending the same SQL statement to each. I imagine some critical thinking in the process could lead to judgement on what would be the "essential" updates to "multi-home" and which updates could be written to the "master" for later replication. My $0.02USD, before taxes. Doug Clements wrote: Greetings, I've got a working mysql and vpopmail setup going, with replication support. For those that don't know, replication support in vpopmail means that all updates go to a single server, where lookups can be sent to another server. I have a local copy of the replicated database on each machine to spread the load out and to be more robust in the face of other machine failure. Unfortunately, this makes each machine dependant on the mysql update server, since each login triggers an update to the lastauth table. How have other people solved this, without just disabling mysql logging? Has anyone used any of the more rare multiple-master ring topologys in mysql to let each server update? I really don't want to setup a dedicated "mysql server" just to handle updates like this. I'm also planning to start using spamassassin mysql preferences, so I'd like any server to be able to update the database with user preferences, and the change replicate around. Does anyone have any input on this? Anyone use squirrelmail with their preferences in the database as well? Thanks! --Doug
[vchkpw] chkuser patch and mysql on different machine
I want to build a mail gateway to deny incoming SMTP for unknown virtual domain users by building it with the chkuser patch (correct patch name?). I use MySQL for my user database on the mail server. Can I hook the gateway (via VPN) to the user database on the mail server for the auth checks?? I haven't worked with the chkuser patch so this is very new ground for me. No, I'd rather not start replicating MySQL databases if I can help it. I want the gateway to save resources for scanning virii and stopping this Sobig crap. Thanks in advance, Dave.
[vchkpw] Pulling raw messages out of a maildir
I have a filter that moves incoming "virus found" msgs in my Admin account to a subfolder so that I can observe what kind of virus flow/traffic is hitting my domains. I had intended to write a little perl/mrtg processor and make some pretty graphs to WOW! my customers. And then this asswipe SoBig variant worm hits this week and I've got thousands of "virus found" notices now, still arriving at almost 1 per minute. I want to physically pull the mail message files out of the Admin user's "virus found" folder (below INBOX) and just save them in a tar.gz file until I write my scripts and process them. Q: Any harm in leaving qmail/vpopmail up and running while working at the file system level to move the messages out of the Maildir tree? I DO NOT want to risk damaging this account, since it's my real Admin account. Help appreciated. Thx,D.

[vchkpw] Re: Webmail question
You know, if the Squirrel people GPl'd in the option to use sqwebmail direct Maildir access, that would be uber nice! I'm sure its been considered before.

You can run an Anti-Virus and Anti-Spam gateway with a lower MX value than your real mail server. The gateway filters, cleans, and deals with bounces. "Good" mail is passed onto your mail server.

There seems to be a problem in th maildir_to_email() function in
vdelivermail.c. If the domain dir is not directly under the
DOMAINS_DIR, e.g. /home/vpopmail/domains/1/example.com, then a user
[EMAIL PROTECTED] will have a maildir of:
/home/vpopmail/domains/1/example.com/joe/Maildir/
and maildir_to_email() returns an email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This should definitely be fixed as it is a simple and obvious bug.
My (untested) fix is as follows. Change the following block located
near the bottom of maildir_to_email():
for( pnt = last + (strlen(DOMAINS_DIR)+2); (*pnt && *pnt != '/' && j <
255); ++pnt, ++j ) { email[j] = *pnt;

to:
pnt = last + strlen(DOMAINS_DIR) + 2;

Documentation is a little sparse on this product. Am I correct in what valias does? If Yes, how do I implement the exmaple alias above?
[vchkpw] Change an account name?
I don't see a command to change a username for a vpopmail account. Is there a procedure to simply change the name of an account without having to literally pick up a maildir manually and drop it into a "new" account for the new name?
[vchkpw] SpamAssassin, Vpopmail, conditional handling on Spam Score?
I'm running the QMAILQUEUE patch with SpamAssassin into Vpopmail with Mysql and Courier. I'm running SpamAssassin with spam threashold "required_hits" = 8. I allow direct delivery to the mailbox, but it is subject prefixed "[SPAM]" (thus it is Spam Tagged) What I'd like to do is add another "threashold" (probably in SA?) where the spam score of >15 is sent to /dev/null. Scores from 7-14.99 are spam tagged (and delivered) and scores less than 7 are not spam tagged. (I've been seeing spam scores as high as 28.8 recently BTW) Is there a "normal" way to do this? D.
