Re: [vchkpw] maildrop with bounce-no-mailbox
so, how do you do it? use the chkuser patch for qmail, so no illegal users get into the queue? write a wrapper for vpopmail so that it exits 0 even when the user doesn't exist? use some hack for maildrop?? I am also having the same problems. I hadn't noticed it until my queue was over 30,000 messages. I haven't had the time to work out a real solution yet. I didn't know if it was better to hack maildrop or hack vdelivermail since I haven't even looked into either one of them yet. What I had found was that one of my domains was receiving thousands of messages per hour for non-existent users and bouncing back. So as a quick fix, I set the default to delete, I shortened the queuelifetime to 3 days, and increased the concurrency settings because they were constantly maxed out. I'd also like to hear what real solutions people have come up with to deal with this.

The compilation process seems to work fine, but I can't get a connection to the database when actually running the tools. In vpgsql.h there are a couple of lines that need editing: #define DB NAME_OF_YOUR_DATABASE #define PG_CONNECT host=YOUR_DB_HOST_NAME user=YOUR_DB_USERNAME password=YOUR_PASSWORD dbname= DB Although I don't think host is in there as a default. But if your database server is on a different server you will need to add that. Hope that helps. Jay Tortorelli

Re: [vchkpw] Anyone using 5.5.x in production?
On Thu, 2004-06-10 at 22:01, Tom Collins wrote: Can anyone report on performance of the MySQL and/or Postgres backendsin 5.5.0 or later on a production machine? I made some significantchanges related to building SQL queries which should make them moresecure. I also fixed some outstanding bugs in Postgres code andconsolidated some code in MySQL and Postgres. I have been using 5.5.0 in production for about a month with the Postqresql back end. So far it has held up very well and have not had any performance/stability problems. I remember I had some problems in the beginning...but I didn't send them to the list because previous messages regarding the use of the Postgresql back end had went unanswered. Looking through my notesI had problems with --enable-pgsql-logging and --enable-valias --enable-pgsql-logging I remember, never created the appropriate table(s). When I created the table(s) by hand, it still would not log anything to it. --enable-valias I can't remember exactly what the problem was here as I didn't keep very good notes. I remember I had a problem with the 5.4.x series as well, but I would receive a different error. I couldn't create an alias that would be delivered to 2 different accounts. And I remember in the 5.5.x series, if I tried to use valias with the -s switch to look up an alias it would just print out the destination address over and over again until I sent it a ctrl-c. I believe if it didn't do that it would segfault. Sorry I do not have more specifics for you. My current configure line is: /configure --enable-clear-passwd --enable-logging=p --enable-learn-passwords --enable-qmail-ext --enable-auth-module=pgsql
[vchkpw] Getting Error: Could not open qmail default on vadddomain
I have a fresh install of RHEL ES 3 Update 1, netqmail 1.05, and vpopmail 5.4.3 and am receiving: Error: Could not open qmail default whenever I run vadddomain as root Here are my configure options: ./configure --enable-clear-passwd --enable-qmail-ext --enable-domains-dir=/mail/domains --enable-qmaildir=/mail/ --enable-qmail-newu=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu --enable-qmail-inject=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject --enable-qmail-newmrh=/var/qmail/bin/qmail-newmrh --enable-auth-module=pgsql --enable-logging=p --enable-pgsql-logging --enable-valias --enable-learn-passwords I have my qmail control and user/assign directories in /mail I also have them sym linked in /var/qmail as I was getting an error when I would try and run vdominfo earlier saying it couldn't open /var/qmail/users/assign (not sure why it was looking there when I did declared the qmail dir in configure). I changed the PG_CONNECT and DB entries in vpgsql.h to reflect the settings for my remote host before I configured. Vpopmail has created the dir_control table and made 1 entry in it so I know that the connection to the database server is working correctly.

Isn't there a way to have like a /etc/skel but for vpopmail users

if not that would be a great feutre request..
Below is a copy of an email and patch submitted by David Winkler back in
September to handle just that.

I seem to have answered my own question. Here

Yup, since I wrote that email (Jan 14th) Andrew Kohlsmith made some changes that made it into 5.3.17. He mentioned that there was some work that still needed to be done on it. Charles Boening wrote the code to get postgres support using configure and posted it to http://www.cot.net/~charlieb/vpopmail/ but I haven't seen mention of it making it into a development release yet. I will be upgrading my mail servers again in a month or two, and will move to postgres, so I might do a little hacking to it as well. Jay
RE: [vchkpw] Postgres support?
I for one am very interested in postgresql support in vpopmail and have been quietly waiting for it. I had even inquired about the cost of finishing up the work on this list, but received no replies. Since then I have setup mysql, but would still like to use postgresql someday. If there is anything I can do to help out, let me know. Jay Tortorelli -Original Message- From: Charles J. Boening [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 4:30 PM To: 'Caffeinate The World' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [vchkpw] Postgres support? I had done some finishing work with the code that Nels wrote and am currently running vpopmail 5.3.4 in a production environment with a little over 1000 users. It works very well with no hangups that I have noticed. I submitted the code to the vpopmail developers back around May or April of 2002. Since then there has been little interest from the vpopmail community for postgresql support and the vpopmail development team. From the looks of it, postgresql support will not be making it into vpopmail unless someone makes patches for every release. I still have the code and would like to see it integrated into vpopmail. I don't know much about autoconf and haven't had the time to learn or I'd do that part myself. I think that's about all that needs to be done. Once autoconf knows about postgresql, the make file should be generated properly and we'd have postgresql support. Feel free to contact me off list if you'd like to discuss this further.

I didn't see it in the current stable release, and there's been a few releases between 04/02 and now. :-) I checked with the guy who did the original Postgresql patch, but he hacked together the Configure files etc to make it compile. He has not done any work on it and someone else seemed to have taken over the work. What I ended up doing was using qmail-sql available at: http://qmail-sql.digibel.be Then I patched courier-imap for configurable custom SELECT and UPDATE SQL queries for use with IMAP and POP3. I sent the patch back to Sam (author of Courier). Courier IMAP SQL uses its own table schema which is different from qmail-sql. Having customizable SELECT and UPDATE queries allow you to glue the two together. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.yahoo.com
