Re: [vchkpw] vget_assign returns only real domain
Hi Tom, The tricky part is ezmlm (and always has been). If you create a mailing list, it will typically only work for the domain you created it in, and none of the aliases. Exactly; that's why I wanted the user to choose in which of his n alias domains he wants to create the list instead of forcing him to use his main domain - and the easiest way (from the user's perspective) is to re-use the domain name from the login. Anyway, even if my quick hack in vpopmail.c seems to work for non-MySQL setups, I'll place a feature suggestion on the qmailadmin list. Thanks for all your input, Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Problems connecting courier-imap to vpopmail
Hi Jerker, I cant seem to connect courier-imap to vpopmail. Im using qmailadmin to handle all users and domains that I have and that works fine. But the problem is when i installed courier-imap and squirrelmail to get webaccess i cant seem to logon... How do i connect courier-imap to vpopmail, and verify that it works? Regarding the first question: Courier-IMAP has different authentication plugins. Make sure you have the authvchkpw module activated. IIRC, you should also disable authdaemon, as it doesn't work correctly with vpopmail (at least in older versions; I didn't track it). Regarding the second question: Courier-IMAP has good logging capabilities. Check on the console first, using telnet localhost 143, doing a manual IMAP connect. This will make clear if the problem is with Courier-IMAP and not with a misconfiguration in SquirrelMail. Another option is to use BincIMAP instead of Courier-IMAP, which uses the original vchkpw programm (it has a checkpassword-compatible interface). From my point of view, it's a lot easier to set up. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Internal configuration
Hi Matt, Whilst writing some automated account creation scripts, I created a test domain and then afterwards manually deleted the domain from /home/vpopmail/domains/. That's not good. :) Now adding the same domain, it says Error: Domain already exists Yes, because it's still in the qmail configuration. Then using bin/vdeldomain to try and remove remnants of it (yeah yeah, should have done that instead of rm, I know!), it says Error: Domain does not exist Yes, because it cannot find the domains directory. I admit these error messages are confusing. However, they wouldn't have shown up if you didn't break things manually. ;-) Confusing, at best. So my question is where does vpopmail store the internal configuration? There is no internal configuration. vpopmail creates the domain directory (which you already got used to) and inserts the appropriate lines into the qmail configuration. I manually removed all references to the domain from files in /var/qmail/control, but that doesn't seem to be it. You did right; additionally delete the appropriate line from /var/qmail/users/assign and run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu. Afterwards you can re-create the domain with vadddomain. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Spam controll ?!
Hi there, Well you could try configuring Spammassassin so that it does what you want it to do. You can get it to label it as spam, move it some place else on the hard drive, and a lot of other cool things. SpamAssassin never moves [mail] to some place, in fact, SpamAssassin never delivers mail at all. Its only purpose is to give a message a spam score and header lines. Sorting out or deleting mail based on these headers is entirely the MDA's job, not SpamAssassin's. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Problem with email bouncing
Hi Trell, Trells.com works just fine however the bazalar.com and others are giving me an error like Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host, it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. Besides the fact that I don't understand your weird directory structure: This error is raised by qmail; vpopmail is not involved (yet). Please post the output of /var/qmail/bin/qmail-showctl. To my knowledge vpopmail removes the locals entry and places everything in the virtualdomains file. If the domain is in locals, it should be in [more]rcpthosts, too. Otherwise your qmail configuration is broken. If the domain is in [more]rcpthosts, vadddomain will not add it because it already exists. Conclusion: vadddomain will not delete the domain from locals to put it into virtualdomains. Instead it will refuse to add the domain. Jonas
[vchkpw] vget_assign returns only real domain
Hi there, I'm facing a small problem regarding the fact the vget_assign function in vpopmail.c always returns the real domain instead of the domain that the user used for authentication. At least this is what I get from the ChangeLog: 5.1.10 01/26/02 - [...] - vget_assign now will over write the incoming domain name with the real domain name. So from the example above, if you call strcpy( domain, ken.com); vget_assign(domain, dir, uid, gid); The domain variable will contain test.com. On my servers, users can have more than one domain; in fact they're able to add/delete domains on the fly. Because a main domain (created with vadddomain) cannot be easily renamed, I decided to create a static hostname for each user in the form userid.user.jonaspasche.com and add all domains that a user wishes as aliasdomains to this internal hostname. That way, there's no hassle when a user wants to add further domain and one day decides to delete his first domain (which would have caused lots of trouble if this first domain would have been created with vadddomain). For POP/IMAP and SMTP relay access, everything works fine. The problem is with qmailadmin, which shows only the internal hostname, even if the user logged in with one of his real domains. Furthermore, creating ezmlm mailing lists causes the internal hostname to be written into the config file and into the text/* files, which in turn looks ugly when ezmlm sends out confirmations and so on. Is there any possibility to remove that functionality and let vget_assign return the same domain name it got from the user's input? Will other things break without this functionality? Thanks for your time, Jonas.
Re: [vchkpw] vget_assign returns only real domain
Hi there, We should add another flag of some sort to vget_assign which is 0 by default, but in programs like qmailadmin can be set to 1, to make it return the domain the user logged in with, and not the real domain. This would then no break anything, and only qmailadmin would he to be rewritten. This is an interesting idea. For now, as I don't use the SQL functionality, this simple patch seems to work: --- vpopmail-5.2.2.original/vpopmail.c 2003-12-03 03:36:57.0 +0100 +++ vpopmail-5.2.2/vpopmail.c 2003-12-03 02:56:24.0 +0100 @@ -1933,7 +1933,7 @@ i = fread(tmpbuf,sizeof(char),dlen,fs); /* get the domain line */ -strcpy(domain, tmpbuf); +/* strcpy(domain, tmpbuf); */ /* get the uid */ ptr = tmpbuf; Again, I don't have a complete overview if this may break other things. It will break SQL support for alias domains, thanks Michael for your insightful comment. Anyway, it did quite some tests this night and found no problems. After recompiling qmailadmin to link against the patched vpopmail lib, qmailadmin works as expected, showing the domain name the user used while logging in instead of the real domain. Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] Script for users to delete their own account
Hi unknown, please give yourself a realname when posting to a mailing list. Thanks. I am looking for a webpage script or programme to let users to delete their own account. Do anyone have any idea about that? Thank you very much. Do you really want a web interface for solely letting users delete their account? Why should they do so? Or are you looking for a function to integrate into an existing web environment? In either case, simply let the user log in (= check his password), then issue vdeluser user@domain.tld, e.g. with a system() command or using the vpopmail API, and done. Don't forget to kick the user out of the web interface immediately, as he doesn't have any more privileges. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Script for users to delete their own account
Hi Qing, Do you really want a web interface for solely letting users delete their account? Why should they do so? Or are you looking for a function to integrate into an existing web environment? I want users to delete their own account if they are not going to use the service any more. Okay, so you already have a web interface where they can subscribe, right? So it's not a question of finding a script rather than how do I implement this in my script?, right? Would you please give me more detail? I am not sure how to do. Thanks a lot. I have tried to use php to do exec() and system() but failed. exec() is wrong; system() is right. The biggest problem is about permissions. Under which user do you have your script running? It needs write access to the directory of your domains, so normally the rights of the vpopmail user, or another user if you created the domain with -u user. Question: How do you _create_ new users? Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Script for users to delete their own account
Hi Qing, I am using vQregister for users to regsiter email account. Ah, ok - it's setuid, so it always runs with the right permissions. vQregister runs as vpopmail.vchkpw. I have tried to php to call vuserinfo in /home/vpopmail/bin/ but it returns nothing. I think it is the premission problem. Apache is runing as wwwrun.nogroup. So I don't know how should I do now. There's a couple a possibilities: 1) To let PHP scripts run under a different user than the webserver, use suPHP (http://www.suphp.org/) 2) Use a perl script with suidperl 3) Write a C program and make it setuid 4) Configure sudo to call vdeluser with vpopmail permissions 5) Something I haven't thought about yet All of these are beyond the scope of using vpopmail; please inform yourself through the according documentation. Or, probably the cleanest solution: Ask the vQregister authors to implement such a delete myself function. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] pop3d not accepting passwords
Hi Max, after trying to backup my qmail+vpopmail box using a windows machine connected via samba, my pop3d and pop3ds is not working. Please define is not working. What did you do, what did the computer do, what did you expect it to do? What did you check, and how did you check it? Anyone got a clue on what file, my backup messed up? Not without further information. You may ask the oracle of Delphi, but it is known to give even more vague answers. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] pop3d not accepting passwords
Hi Max, please respond to the list only; I'm subscribed and get your messages twice. Thanks. I've checked : /service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 4237) 2723 seconds /service/qmail-pop3d/log: up (pid 1051) 15160 seconds /service/qmail-pop3ds: up (pid 4242) 2723 seconds /service/qmail-pop3ds/log: up (pid 1048) 15160 seconds to see if they're stopping/restarting constantly. They were not. Okay, that's quite good. Then tried connecting with both pop3 and IMAP, to see if it was vchkpw, that was the problem. both use it: Yes, both use it, but both in a different way. qmail-pop3d uses the vchkpw binary to check passwords; Courier-IMAP indeed has its own vpopmail authentication module, built around the vpopmail API. pop3: snip telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK [EMAIL PROTECTED] user [EMAIL PROTECTED] +OK pass xxx -ERR authorization failed Connection closed by foreign host. snip What exactly do they logs say? You said everything seems fine, but this isn't too helpful - what _exactly_ do the logs say? Please don't give us your interpretation on data; give us the data itself. And checking the procedures in the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run Looks good, from my point of view. -rwx--x--x1 root qmail 12480 Apr 3 11:11 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup -rw---x--x1 vpopmail vchkpw 45264 Apr 3 11:19 /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw Erm - where's the execute bit for the owner of vchkpw..? Please issue chmod -R 755 /home/vpopmail/bin to set all needed permissions. Then check again if you can access your mail by POP3. I've also done a : chown -R /home/vpopmail/domains That would have led to a syntax error; there is an argument missing. Don't do that. Jonas
RE: [vchkpw] Can not get vpopmail to enable roaming support
Hey Raymond, please send answers to the list only; I'm subscribed. ./configure \ [...] --enable-mysql=y \ [...] Ah, you used MySQL. In that case, open relay information is stored in your MySQL database, not in open-smtp. I never used the MySQL setup; so I cannot tell anything more about it. When it was done, I went looking for the open-smtp file. I can not find it. I did a search of my whole computer and no luck. No need to search the whole computer. You defined it to be in /home/vpopmail/etc, and there it should be, but as you used MySQL (sorry, didn't notice it in the first place), it is obsolete. Do you know why the make install-strip did not create the open-smtp file? Even without MyQL, install-strip doesn't create it. vchkpw creates it after a successful POP3 login. Does the date/time of /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb change after a successful POP3 login? Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] courier pop3d
Hi Tobias, Is it possible to use courier pop3d like this ? Judging from your mail telling us you get AUTHFAILURE, obviously not. The authentication model of Courier-IMAP is different from qmail's own POP3 server. For example, the checkpassword-compatible password checker (here: vchkpw) checks for the password, then switches its user ID to the target user and changes into his home directory, then invoking qmail-pop3d Maildir. Despite that, Courier's pop3d binary reads file descriptor 3 to see if the userid/password has been succesfully validated. As a checkpassword compatible program doesn't set it up, you cannot use Courier's pop3d with qmail-popup and vchkpw. Use instead Courier's pop3login, Courier's authlib (which sets up file descriptor 3), and Courier's pop3d. Or, simply stay with qmail's own POP3 server. For further information, see man qmail-popup, man qmail-pop3d and: http://www.courier-mta.org/authlib.html Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] courier pop3d
Hi Tonino, Courier pop3d is run directly by courier, as a daemon, and (as long as I know) cannot be run using tcpserver. That's not true; actually Courier-IMAP starts the pop3login authlibmodules pop3d chain under couriertcpd, which can be replaced by tcpserver, if you want to. It is not a daemon; couriertcpd is the daemon (like tcpserver). Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] courier pop3d
Hi Tobias, please respond to the list only; I'm subscribed and don't want to get your answers twice. Thanks. Ok so i can rewrite the supervise script to run with couriertcpd and courierpop3d instead Especially, using Courier's pop3login and Courier's vpopmail authentication module instead of qmail-popup and vchkpw - that's what the source of your problem is. Is it possible to get the courierpop3d to work with vpopmail ? Yes. How could a supervisescript for that look like ? You should consult the Courier IMAP list for that; this isn't vpopmail related. I don't have supervise scripts for pop3d, but my imapd supervise script reads like this: --- cut here --- #!/bin/sh exec 21 PREFIX=/package/host/localhost/courier-imap exec envdir ../env \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R 0 143 \ $PREFIX/sbin/imaplogin $PREFIX/libexec/authlib/authvchkpw \ $PREFIX/bin/imapd Maildir --- stop cutting --- It should be easy to implement pop3login/authvchkpw/pop3d in a similar manner. For full djb-style installation instructions, look here: http://jonaspasche.de/courier-imap-daemontools.txt It's a bit outdated, but I don't plan to update it any more; instead I suggest the use of dovecot or bincimap.

Re: [vchkpw] courier pop3d
Hi Charles, The only thing I found was him calling someone stupid for wanting to run his daemons under supervise. That doesn't raise my personal opinion on him. ;-) I care for my daemons. Therefore I want them to run supervised. If Mr. Sam is THAT sure that his daemons will never fail, he'd better show that through paying $500 to every admin who observes imapd crashing, instead of calling people stupid that want to use supervise. It's a bit outdated, but I don't plan to update it any more; instead I suggest the use of dovecot or bincimap. Never heard of 'em. Ok, so here's some advertising: Dovecot: http://dovecot.procontrol.fi/ Dovecot is an IMAP and POP3 server for Linux/UNIX-like systems, written with security primarily in mind. Although it's written with C, it uses several coding techniques to avoid most of the common pitfalls. Dovecot can work with standard mbox and maildir formats and it's fully compatible with UW-IMAP and Courier IMAP servers as well as mail clients accessing the mailboxes directly. (Dovecot has its own authentication module for vpopmail accounts.) Binc IMAP: http://bincimap.org/ Binc IMAP is a GPL licensed IMAP4rev1 server for Maildir, written in C++. It strives to be a rock solid, fast, flexible, easy to use, RFC (standards) compliant, secure IMAP server. For those familiar with qmail-pop3d, this IMAP server will be the natural choice. It is invoked similarily and uses checkpassword to authenticate. (As Binc IMAP uses a checkpassword compatible interface, it is perfectly in harmony with vpopmail's vchkpw.) Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] newbiew - mail stuck???
Hi Chan, It seems like my mail was stucked in a queue or something. I got over 30 messages when running qmail-qstat and qmail-qread. There is no need to guess. Look into the qmail-send log, it will tell you why it can't deliver these mails. Mail send to other domains are just stuck (can't send to AOL, yahoo, netzero,...). Is there anything I can do to clean them up? You can use qmail-remove from linuxmagic.com, but cleaning up your queue is only cosmetics and doesn't solve your problem. Again, the logs are your friend. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] About qmail not opening ports
Hi, Qmail starts ok, qmailctl stat give no errors: /service/qmail-send: up (pid 14307) 1 seconds /service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 12920) 101 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 14316) 0 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 14303) 1 seconds qmail-send logging is running for 101 seconds, but the other services at 0 respectively 1 seconds. That doesn't look like no errors to me. Errors of qmail-send can be found in the qmail-send log, which seems to be ok. Errors of qmail-smtpd can be found in the qmail-smtpd log, which doesn't seem to be ok; check the readproctitle log with ps. But when I try to connect from email client I can't, the port 110 is closed, and so port 25. Judging from your svstat output, you don't have a qmail-pop3d server configured, so it's no wonder port 110 is closed. Having port 25 closed only shows there is an configuration error. Has anybody suffered this problem with qmail? This is no problem with qmail; it's a problem with a broken installation or misconfiguration. Delete all the qmail stuff and reinstall using Life with qmail (http://lifewithqmail.org/), then ask for help on the qmail mailing list. Life with qmail has been thorougly tested by hundreds of successful qmail users. If you don't want to do that, you should consult the qmailrocks authors for support or look if there's mailing list. In any case, this is no vpopmail problem. Please send further questions on this topic to the according mailing list. Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] /etc/shadows -

How can i convert /etc/shadow to a vpasswd file type.??

echo -n $U -
/home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser -r [EMAIL PROTECTED]

This won't convert the passwords; however, as most users will use these
passwords over unencrypted connections like POP3 or IMAP4, it's a good
idea to force them to use different passwords for mail than for, let's
say, SSH connections.

RE: [vchkpw] Can not get vpopmail to enable roaming support
Hi Raymond, I didn't change the tcp.cmtp to tcp.smtp.cdb. I simple link my /etc/tcp.smtp to ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp and made the file 777 so any program can write to it. You simply try fiddling around, ending up with world-writable files and symlinks. Hey, this is Unix, stop acting helpless. If you don't understand the thing, hey, this is no problem, but you should understand things first before trying to run an MTA. 1) tcp.smtp and tcp.smtp.cdb are not identical. tcp.smtp is a text file, while tcp.smtp.cdb is a constant database. 2) The actual tcp.smtp.cdb will get compiled by vpopmail, from the contents of tcp.smtp and open-smtp. 3) --enable-tcpserver-file=xyz needs a path to tcp.smtp, not a path to tcp.smtp.cdb. 4) The vpopmail cannot write new files to /etc, but only to /home/vpopmail/etc. Now vpopmail and qmail is sharing the same tcp.smtp file. qmail never reads tcp.smtp, only the tcp.smtp.cdb file, which is in turn build from tcp.smtp and open-smtp. vpopmail never writes to tcp.smtp, it only reads it. Now, here's your todo list: Please remove all symlinks first (as everything is actually messed up). Move your /etc/tcp.smtp to /home/vpopmail/etc (as vpopmail cannot write to /etc); it contains your _static_ relay rules. Rebuild with --enable-tcpserver-file=/home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp (as vpopmail needs to know where the tcp.smtp resides). Change the qmail-smtpd run script to use /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb instead of /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb (as the tcp.smtp.cdb is now there). Now you're done. Check your maillog for successful POP3 logins. Check /home/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp for newly generated entries. Check /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb for its date to see if it gets updated after a successfull POP3 login. Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] When I updated user's quota, maildirsize file is notwith correct quota
Hi baby_moon, A user's quota is 1M, and some mails are in its Inbox, and I was checked its directory, the maildirsize file is there. When I changed this user's quota to 3M, after a mail come in, the quota's total number is same as before. Who knows how to solve this problem? It's not a problem; you're simply mixing things up. The maildirsize file doesn't show the quota setting of a user, but the _actual size_ of the Maildir, so changing the quota doesn't affect the maildirsize file in any way. The quota setting of each user is saved in the vpasswd file. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Authentication problems
Hi Neil, I am experiencing a strange problem and I have been told that it may be a known bug with vpopmail. The environment is Qmail + Vpopmail + Courier-Imap + SquirrelMail. Everything appears to be working fine (I can log in through Outlook client and SquirrelMail) until I switch to a new user (on the same box). Once I do this, the original user can't log in anymore. Did you compile Courier-IMAP with --without-authdaemon? If not, try to do so. authdaemon isn't really compatible with vpopmail. I've also asked this question on the courier-imap list and they indicated it was a known vpopmail bug. I don't know wheter it's a vpopmail bug or a Courier-IMAP bug. Simply don't use authdaemon; it doesn't work. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Domain quotas
Hi Rick, Is it possible to set a quota for an entire domain using vpopmail? One of the top ten questions on the list. You didn't check the archives, didn't you? :) In short: For the stable version of vpopmail, there is no domain quota support, but you can create the domain under a dedicated system user and use system quotas for that user. In the latest development version of vpopmail, experimental domain quota support is included. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] vadddomain path problem
Hi Ryan, I am having a peculiar problem with the vadddomain command. Are you really having a _problem_, meaning, the domain doesn't work? When i run this to add a domain: (vadddomain testing.com), it goes through the password prompt and when complete returns no errors. However, it seems to be adding a 0 (zero) to the end of the path. For example, when adding domain testing.com, the path is /vpopmail/domains/0/testing.com, where it normally is /vpopmail/domains/testing.com. That's not a bug, but the first occurence of the balanced tree feature of vpopmail that applies both to the number of domains and to the number of users in a given domain. As the feature page tells you, vpopmail supports up to 23 million domains. At some point, it simply starts to organize its domains into subdirectories for faster access. It shouldn't lead to any actual problems. Jonas

Hi Anders, I have to wonder, will make install do a recursive chown and chgrp? Yes. If so, it would be a bad idea to use 'make install' if you use system quotas. Only if you still keep your user-managed domains under ~vpopmail/domains. Yes, you're right; haven't thought about it because I let my users manage their domains themselves through ~user/domains/domain, thus vpopmail isn't chown'ing their dirs. Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] Spam Assassin implementation
Hi John, Somebody else had set this up a while ago - I think it is working but I'm not sure if it is affecting other mail deliveries. Oh well, it is... Basically I have spam assassin installed and I have a .qmail-default in every domain folder on my server. It looks like this: | /var/qmail/bin/preline -d /var/qmail/bin/bouncesaying \ [message to bounce back if not SPAM] | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail ' ' bounce-no-mailbox The first line simply bounces _everything_ back to the sender, telling him it is spam. You don't actually call any SpamAssassin program in your .qmail-default file - how do you expect SpamAssassin to be actually used in your setup? ;-) Does this look like it should work okay with spam assassin? Definitely not. I notice others .qmil-default files look a little different. Theirs might be hopefully working ;-) Personally, I'd prefer qmail-scanner to mark all messages with a spam analysis header, and then use dot-qmail filtering to sort them out later. Try out this, if your mail server supports qmail-scanner with SpamAssassin integration. You'll need the 822mess package from DJB to get the 822field program. $ cat .qmail-default | bouncesaying I don't want your spam 822field X-Spam-Flag /dev/null | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox It's 822field in this case that checks for the presence of the X-Spam-Flag header. If it's present, it bounces the message back to the sender. If not, it continues with the next delivery instruction. Please be aware that qmailadmin occasionally rewrites .qmail-default, causing your manual filtering rules to disappear! Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] aliases
Hi Payal, I don't remember how I missed this command. I searched for almost a day in the directory. But still I am unable to figure how to use it. Can you give an example? Well... :-) # valias must supply alias email address valias: usage: [options] email_address options: -v ( display the vpopmail version number ) -s ( show aliases, can use just domain ) -d ( delete alias ) -i alias_line (insert alias line) Isn't that enough? valias isn't _that_ complex...

Re: [vchkpw] :: Courier Imap Auth Problem ::
Hi Jerome, I am attaching also the strace from the authdaemond.plain as I think that it could be useful. Simply compile Courier-IMAP --without-authdaemon, and it will work fine. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] :: Courier Imap Auth Problem ::
Hi Jerome, Hey Jonas it seems to work well now. Good! Anyway where was the problem? Some timeout between the courier auth module and the corresponding daemon (imap,pop3) ?? I don't know. It's just common knowledge for long-time mailing list participators that Couriers authdaemon is simply crap. Maybe there are reasons listed somewhere; I don't know, check the archives. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] aliases
Hi Payal, If I have a domain payal.com, I want that whenever a mail is being sent to either [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED], it should land at (or do as specified in .qmail-ext file) of [EMAIL PROTECTED] So create foo as a POP account, and let bar point to it, too. Is this how we use aliases? Yes. Is this an example of alias? Yes. Now I tried valias like this, # valias [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] But this does not work at all. Yes, because you did not follow the instructions correctly. valias -i [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] \__/ \___/ \ \ \ This is the name of the alias. \ This is what you want to insert (-i) into it. You cannot miss -i; please read the output of valias exactly. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Spamassassin Integration Problem
Hi Jeff, The problem we have is that spamassassin commands in .qmail-default are only analyzing emails that are addressed to one of the real pop accounts - it is not analyzing emails addressed to an alias for either a local or remote email account. These aliases are handled by qmail-local _before_ vpopmail pops in. qmail-local checks for .qmail-username for a given address, and only if it doesn't find it, it calls .qmail-default which is then executing your filter and delivering mails to POP accounts. I'd suggest to use qmail-scanner to filter all mails on a per-server basis. Actually, it's not filtering, only marking for further inspection. I then have the following in my .qmail files: |condredirect [EMAIL PROTECTED] 822field X-Spam-Flag /dev/null [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] Re: Probably a simple problem
Hi Cory, If you compiled vpopmail with --enable-learn-passwords=y then you could create a list of your users in a file: ls /home/ | tr '\s' '\n' /tmp/users As vpopmail supports MD5 passwords, you can also take the crypted passwords from /etc/shadow and feed them into the vpasswd file with vmoduser -e crypted_pass [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Re: [vchkpw] qmail-smtpd-auth against vpopmail mysql userdb
Hi Sam, is there a simple way to induce my qmail-smtpd (patched with the qmail-smtpd-auth patch from http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/) to use the vpopmail mysql db as justice. You can use vchkpw as the password checking backend for qmail-smtpd-auth, independent of wheter MySQL is used as the storage backend or not. qmail-smtpd-auth doesn't care for it; it only presents a checkpassword-compatible interface.

Re: [vchkpw] qmail-smtpd-auth against vpopmail mysql userdb
Hi Sam, Well i've tried to use vchkpw as the pw checking backend for qmail-smtpd-auth. But at the moment it's not possible to gain access to send mail trough the smtp server. The server is invoked via tcpsever, and runs under the correct user: /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l mail.moritzi.ch -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c 20 -u 7797 -g 2109 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd mail.moritzi.ch /export/opt/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true Tho logs doesn't show up with any useful informations. So what exactly do they say? Did you compile vpopmail with verbose error logging? Is there any possibility to check an useracount with vchkpw via the shell, just to be shure that it does what it should do? http://qmail.org/top.html#checkpassword Check out the hints by Mark Delany right at the top of the section. Are there any other suggestions? Not at the moment, until we see exact error messages from the logs. Which client are you using? Which SMTP AUTH technique are you using - PLAIN, LOGIN or CRAM-MD5?

Re: [vchkpw] roaming users, configure not working
Hi Payal, On a previously installed vpopmail system, how do I know which parameters were passed to ./configure ? I have the directory in which the tar file was untarred into. Then look into the config.status file. Also should the tcpserver file be /etc/tcp.smtp or /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp ? Both locations will work fine, but vpopmail will need root access if you want to use the /etc location. What exactly do I do for giving vpopmail root access? chown root ~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw chmod u+s ~vpopmail/bin/vchkpw However, I'd only suggest to do this if you have your domains managed under different user id's (in fact, then you'll _need_ these modifications); if you're going with all domains under the vpopmail id, you'll go better with ~vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp. And address extensions=OFF as shown above, will it mean I won't be able to use .qmail-payal-linux kind of addresses? No; these addresses will be handled by qmail itself _before_ vpopmail drops in (through being called out of .qmail-default) and work in either case. Then what is the use of qmail-ext parameter for ./configure ? See the ChangeLog (this option appeared in 4.10.12): - added new configure option --enable-qmail-ext. This was the default in old installations. Now there is an option to turn it off. --enable-qmail-ext=y (default) will deliver mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --enable-qmail-ext=n will NOT deliver mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It will only deliver it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] Forwarding....
Hi Bill, So what I would like to know is about setting a forwarder for a particular user of a domain. There does not seem to be a reference in the documentation; however, I could be blind and stupid. Forwardings are handled by qmail-local before vpopmail drops in. They're well documented by Life with qmail: http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#dot-qmail-files http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#extension-addresses http://lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#aliases the .qmail-default file seems to alude to this via the empty set, ie: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete No. is then | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] The correct syntax to forward ??? No. Uh-oh, never start fiddling around with such trials. This is Unix; you need to read the documentation to solve problems. If things are not in the docs, we're here to help. :) Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] quotas
Hi Payal, Now I added 2 domains test1 and test2? Do these domains have a default quota? No. If no, how do I add that? You don't have a thing like a domain quota with the current stable version, only quota values on every single account. Also can I have domain test1 with say 40Mb quota and domain test2 with 70Mb quota? How to achieve that? For now, give each domain a different system user (vadddomain -u ...), and give that user a quota. For later, watch the development; domain quota support is coming (but not stable yet). Jonas

RE: [vchkpw] Ownership question about VPOPMAIL
Hi Al, I've installed vpopmail-5.0-1.i386.rpm There is no official RPM of that name, and 5.0 isn't the latest stable version. Download the sources of 5.2.1 and try again. My concern is that vpopmail will always set those user:group when using vadddomain/vadduser even if it works fine. I was wondering if we could force him to use vpopmail:vchkpw for the domains directory. vpopmail sets the _numerical_ UID that it got for vpopmail/vchkpw at compile time. A binary RPM is likely to have different UIDs than your system, if either you or the RPM cooker doesn't use the default IDs of 89/89. I think that I may have a problem later on this issue if this isn't properly setup now and obviously because I don't know where those user:group are issued from. Simply throw away the RPM, get the actual sources, and start again. Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail : forwarding a catch-all to an externaladdress

Re: [vchkpw] POP before SMTP
Hi Andrew, Hello, I have a qmail + vpopmail setup with --enable-roaming-users=y. Users are able to authenticate and receive mail, and their IP is added to open-smtp. Is tcp.smtp.cdb regenerated successfully? Use cdbdump from Dan's cdb package to find out: http://cr.yp.to/cdb/cdbmake.html The problem is that it will authenticate a person and then allow them SMTP access iff they are on 65.243.94.* (our class c, the server's address is 65.243.94.6), but if they are coming from some other address, then although POP authentication works, they are not allowed to use SMTP. Are you using an additional relaying technique besides static relaying (tcp.smtp) and roaming users, e.g. SMTP AUTH? Are you sure that messages from these hosts are actually to be _relayed_ instead of being locally delivered? Jonas

[...] @40003e6c896f0f9d5e2c starting delivery 1: msg 81 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] Did you perhaps put the domain in the locals file today? This line clearly shows that qmail doesn't interpret this domain as virtual (it would have said [EMAIL PROTECTED] in that case). /var/qmail/control/locals file seems to be EMTPTY now. Is this the normal situation? Yes. After the regeneration of the domain in question, my message format looks like the one below. As expected; see above. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] no_mailbox_here_by_that_name
Hi Ihsan, please send answers to the list instead to me. Thanks. I probably put the domain-name into this file and got stucked. As I understood from my experiences (no time to read at the moment,because my Exchange Server has crashed..), the /var/qmail/control/locals file should contain NOTHNG if we use vpopmail with qmail. Is that right.? Yes. Here's an excerpt of the qmail-send man page: qmail-send handles virtualdomains after locals: if a domain is listed in locals, virtualdomains does not apply. This implicitly means that a domain should always be _either_ in locals _or_ in virtualdomains. Jonas
RE: [vchkpw] tcp.smtp file perms/owns for -enable-roaming-users?

Re: [vchkpw] smtp filter proxy
Hi Jesse, I'd like to insert an SMTP filter proxy between tcpserver and qmail (or, in my case: rblsmtpd) that reads a file or cdb containing all of the domains in my rcpthosts file, and REJECTS messages that are addressed FROM one of those domains UNLESS the RELAYCLIENT environment variable is set (which would mean that it's legitimate email from one of my customers). Unlike rblsmtp, you'll have to let the SMTP session take place, because you wouldn't have the envelope sender address. Thus, you need a filter between qmail-smtpd and qmail-queue. A generic filter is already available: http://untroubled.org/qmail-qfilter/ It's easy to implement, and there are a some simple examples in the source tarball that show how you'd be able to write a filter that fits your needs in any programming language you want. The idea seems relatively simple, and I can't immediately think of any problems with it. Let's say, I am [EMAIL PROTECTED] As I'm currently at home, I'm using my local qmail server to relay mail to the outside. Though I don't use the wingnet.net mail server, I have an identity called [EMAIL PROTECTED] configured in my mail client. If I send some mail to your server (that is expected to be configured in the way you said), it would not accept a mail from me to [EMAIL PROTECTED], because I'm using wingnet.net (one of your domains) as my From address, but I haven't authorized myself to relay, because I don't relay through your server - I simply send a mail to you. And Implementing it would greatly reduce spam with forged headers claiming to be from one of my customers. No, even if you patch your mailserver, I'm still able to send out mail appearing to be from [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's simply not under your control. Your idea has the following conclusions: 1) A wingnet.net user that isn't authorized to relay is able to send mail to any local domain on your server, using any envelope sender address he wants (but none from your domains!) 2) A wingnet.net user that is authorized to relay is able to send mail to any user in the world, using any envelope sender address he wants. 3) An outside user is authorized to send mail to you as long as he doesn't use one of your domains that are managed by your server. 4) You do not prohibit anybody in the world to send mail to anybody in the world using one of your domains in his envelope sender address. I think, your idea simply isn't the right approach to your problem, which I still don't completely understand. Please describe more appropriatly what type of messages from whom to who you want to disallow. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] tcp.smtp file perms/owns for -enable-roaming-users?
Hi Jesse, I'm a little confused about this myself... Does 'open-smtp' not get created if you have mysql support enabled? No; IP adresses that are allowed to relay are written into the relay table. Jonas
RE: [vchkpw] tcp.smtp file perms/owns for -enable-roaming-users?
Hi Jesse, His ~vpopmail/etc/open-smtp a file I should have manually created at some point in time (touch open-smtp)? No. As you use the MySQL backend, there is no need for that file. You should have mentioned in your first post that you're using MySQL as a backend. Rule of thumb: If you did anything other besides a plain ./configure when compiling qmail, let us know your configure line if you post a question, or tell us about (I have compiled vpopmail with roaming users support and the MySQL backend); it prevents unneccessary confusion. Where I'm also lost, then, is that my /etc/tcp.smtp and /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb files are both owned by root:root at present (this seems incorrect to me) and are both chmod 644. The tcp.smtp.cdb file has to writable to the user that handles the POP3 session for the authenticed user. In many cases, this is vpopmail.vchkpw, but it might be another user if you created domains with the -u user argument. Try chown vpopmail.vchkpw /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb first and see if it works. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] tcp.smtp file perms/owns for -enable-roaming-users?
Hi Jesse, I may just be mouthing off again, but I gather from the last paragraph in INSTALL that vpopmail may not even bother with vpopmail/etc/tc.smtp and open-smtp anymore. vpopmail never writes to tcp.smtp. It need read access to that file when building tcp.smtp.cdb. vpopmail writes open-smtp if you have configured it for roaming users, but without MySQL support. vpopmail writes tcp.smtp.cdb, if you have configured it for roaming users, independent of wheter you have enabled MySQL support or not. I think the default may be to assume that since you're using MySQL, you should use Matt Simerson's tcpserver-mysql patch. The relay table is certainly populated in my database, but the vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb is NOT generated. I bet on write permissions. Personally, I don't have any qualms about vpopmail defaulting to MySQL based tcpserver relay control when I'm using MySQL. It actually doesn't. However, I strongly disagree with the INSTALL wording if that's the case! It makes it sound like Matt's patch is only suggested, but it honestly seems to be REQUIRED when mysql support is enabled in vpopmail. The INSTALL file is right. Don't blame it just because your setup didn't work. You simply didn't care about the permissions on tcp.smtp.cdb - it's obvious that vpopmail can't write to that file if it's only writable by root while you don't have vchkpw running as root. Jonas
[vchkpw] vpopmail and tcpserver-mysql (was: Re: [vchkpw] tcp.smtp fileperms/owns for -enable-roaming-users?)
Hi again, However, I strongly disagree with the INSTALL wording if that's the case! It makes it sound like Matt's patch is only suggested, but it honestly seems to be REQUIRED when mysql support is enabled in vpopmail. The INSTALL file is right. Short note; quoting the INSTALL file: --- begin --- 13. For sites using the mysql module and --enable-roaming-users=y it is highly suggested to use Matt Simersons tcpserver-mysql patch. This removes the need for vpopmail to compile a tcp.smtp.cdb file for each pop authentication. Instead, tcpserver looks directly into the vpopmail mysql table of IP's. --- end --- It is correct that the tcpserver-mysql patch removes the need for vpopmail to compile a tcp.smtp.cdb file for each pop authentication. That's true, the _need_ for that functionality is removed - but not the functionality itself! vpopmail still compiles a tcp.smtp.cdb file, so the tcpserver-mysql patch doesn't mean anything to vpopmail. As vpopmail doesn't know of you're using the tcpserver-mysql patch, it has no way to know that it doesn't have to update tcp.smtp.cdb. I don't think there's a big performance hit using the tcpserver-mysql patch, as reading from a cdb file is already extremely fast. Thus, the benefit isn't in tcpserver itself; but it's the _possibility_ to remove the time-consuming tcp.smtp.cdb rebuild functionality from the vpopmail code. If you don't do that (manually), the tcpserver-mysql patch doesn't mean anything better to you compared to a working cdb setup without it. To make that patch really usable, vpopmail needs a way to know that it doesn't have to update tcp.smtp.cdb, maybe a ./configure parameter like --i-use-the-tcpserver-mysql-patch-and-thus-do-not-need-cdb-updates. In some situations (like yours, Jesse), the tcpserver-mysql patch seems to act as a fix, but it actually is a different thing. Your problems have been with file permissions, not with vpopmail requiring a patch that's marked as optional/suggested. It only looks like a fix because its totally different approach doesn't depend on file permissions. And, while we're at it... the newest README.mysql file tells us to... #define MYSQL_UPDATE_SERVER localhost #define MYSQL_UPDATE_USER root #define MYSQL_UPDATE_PASSWD secret #define MYSQL_READ_SERVER localhost #define MYSQL_READ_USER root #define MYSQL_READ_PASSWD secret From a security perspective, it should be preferred to use a dedicated MySQL user instead of root; this would highly reduce the danger that a possibly table-corrupting vpopmail bug would have on MySQL data. Yes, it's the user's choice, and MySQL administrators should already know that, but IMHO the README.mysql file should set a good example here. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] tcp.smtp file perms/owns for -enable-roaming-users?
Hi Jesse, It seems to me that the whole ./configure autodetect of tcp.smtp is hokey. I think it would make more sense to specify in the INSTALL docs and in the configure script that there is a DEFAULT location for tcp.smtp. The configure script does that, if you run ./configure --help. Clearly /etc doesn't work real well because of the default permissions, so I'd suggest ~vpopmail/etc. That _is_ the default location; it just doesn't get used in most cases because of a clumsy check, as I mentioned before. Then, allow that default to be explicitly overridden by a configure option like --path-to-tcp-smtp=blah. That's already the case; again issue ./configure --help, or read the FAQ entry #8. We could keep the current configure behavior and just make sure that we document it in install, but I think trying to explain the configure behavior would really confuse some people. Has my elaboration been confusing? ;-) IMHO, it's just the problem that users don't know about that three location thing without reading the configure script, thus expecting tcp.smtp file in the wrong place. What do you think? I really wonder that this question hasn't come up earlier. ;-) Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] smtp filter proxy
Hi Jesse, If I don't allow email to come into my network with forged FROM headers(or even forged envelope sender headers if they're relevent) Here's already an error in your idea - you can't reliably see if a sender address is forged, and therefore: how would that NOT prevent the spam from reaching my user's inboxes?? You can't identify these with your filtering rule. You cleary said that your filtering rule applies to mail that uses one of your domains (or these of your customers) as the From address. Thus your definition of a forged sender is: Every mail with a sender address using one of my domains, but not relayed through our mail server. That might a more or less proper check (personally, I'd say: less), but doesn't match the vast majority of mails with forged sender addresses: Take 10,000 spam mails you collected in your users inboxes. How many of them have a (forged) sender that uses one of your domains in their From address? I'd really wonder if this is more than, let's say, one, unless your spam situation is _totally_ different than mine and probably most others. The spam mails I get (and I get a lot; thankfully SpamAssassin helps me pre-sorting them into a different IMAP folder) are from forged hotmail.com, yahoo.com or aol.com addresses in most cases. As long as Hotmail, Yahoo and AOL aren't your customers, your filtering rule would match nearly nothing. Summary: I think your filtering rule has nearly no effects on spam catching, _and_ it has drawbacks to your customers that want to use another mail relay than yours. I'd prefer not to use it. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] smtp filter proxy
Hi Jesse, If I don't allow email to come into my network with forged FROM headers(or even forged envelope sender headers if they're relevent) Here's already an error in your idea - you can't reliably see if a sender address is forged, and therefore: But I can. It's simple: (If the user is NOT on one of my network IPs, OR, if the user has not POPed before sending SMTP, ) AND the incoming email contains one of my internal domains in the FROM (envelope or header), then it's bogus. Is there a problem with that? No. Have you read my posting completely? Just quoting myself: JP You cleary said that your filtering rule applies to mail that uses one JP of your domains (or these of your customers) as the From address. Thus JP your definition of a forged sender is: Every mail with a sender address JP using one of my domains, but not relayed through our mail server. That JP might a more or less proper check (personally, I'd say: less), but JP doesn't match the vast majority of mails with forged sender addresses: It's just that - the test isn't really stupid, it just doesn't match nearly any mail because spam mails don't have one of your domains as their forged From address in nearly all cases. IMHO, it simply isn't worth the work, but feel free to implement it anyway. Let it write a log to see how many spam mails it really catches, and don't forget to check it for regular mail blocked by this rule, thus causing trouble for your customers. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] tcp.smtp file perms/owns for -enable-roaming-users?
Hi Ben, Apologies if this is already answered elsewhere -- I didn't see it. What should the file permissions and ownership be for the tcprules tcp.smtp file in order to enable vpopmail pop-before-smtp roaming user support? In other words, for qmail/vpopmail to temporarily add an IP address for pop-before-stmp temp-relay support, what setup do I need? vpopmail doesn't need to write to tcp.smtp (as you can see, the file never changes, even not without roaming users). tcp.smtp only contains _static_ rules for allowing/disallowing connections and relaying. vpopmail saves relaying information in ~vpopmail/etc/open-smtp, and it creates tcp.smtp.cdb (which is used by tcpserver) from both tcp.smtp and open-smtp. In short, you need: - read permissions on tcp.smtp - write permissions on tcp.smtp.cdb Judge for yourself if relaying data is sensible or not, to decide if you want these files to be group- or world-readable, or not. Jonas

[vchkpw] Feature request: Usage of SSLREMOTEIP
Hi out there, I have a small feature request for vpopmail. Currently, I'm checking out if I could successfully use ucspi-ssl instead of ucspi-tcp for accepting network connections. Things are a lot easier with this tool, because you can simple set up your SSL certificates and replace tcpserver with sslserver, and you're done. For those of you that are unfamiliar with ucspi-ssl yet: You can inform yourself on the following website. http://www.superscript.com/ucspi-ssl/intro.html The drawback is that tcpserver sets (besides others) the environment variable TCPREMOTEIP, which vchkpw uses for logging and for opening dynamic relays. sslserver from the ucspi-ssl package set SSLREMOTEIP instead, which causes vchkpw to stop logging IP addresses as well as its functionality for roaming users. What do you think: Should vpopmail read SSLREMOTEIP in addition to TCPREMOTEIP, using whatever of them is set? Does anyone know a workaround until either vpopmail reads SSLREMOTEIP or ucspi-ssl sets TCPREMOTEIP? Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] ~/vpopmail/tcp.smtp.cdb doesn't get created
Hi Trevor, first of all, please read: http://jonaspasche.de/common-errors/bad-thread-start I have an issue where in /home/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp gets created but ~/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb doesn't get created at all.

[...] /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c [...] So you're actively _using_ /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb, why are you waiting for ~vpopmail/tcp.smtp.cdb?

It's wrong. 1) -x is an argument for tcpserver. You entered it as an argument for qmail-pop3d. Remove it. 2) -x expects a cdb file (tcp.smtp.cdb), not a text file (tcp.smtp). 3) qmail-pop3d doesn't need that file at all. 4) FQDN should have been replaced with your fully-qualified hostname. Though in the above scripts i am forcing updation of /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb No, you don't. What makes you think you do? While compiling i have even specified at the CLI the path to the tcp.smtp.cdb filebut neither the /etc nor the ~/vpopmail/etc/*.cdb files are getting created/updated.

Re: [vchkpw] libmysqlclient not found
Hi Roland, so far the installion worked. I now want to add a new domain to vpopmail. But I get an error message, that libmysqlclient file could not be found. Original message: [root@dc4 bin]# ./vadddomain mydomain.de ./vadddomain: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.10: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The libmysqlclient file is in the path I gave to configure command. Obviously not, otherwise vadddomain wouldn't have said No such file or directory. :-) Is the version number of the .so file correct? Use strace to see which file vadddomain is really looking for. Show us your full ./configure line as well as the output from ls -l within your lib directory which you specified at compile time. Jonas
RE: [vchkpw] libmysqlclient not found
Hi Roland, yes, the libmysqlclient.so.10 exists and is in /usr/local/mysql/current/lib/mysql Ok, compare that with your strace output (I grep'ped for libmysqlclient.so.10): open(/lib/i686/mmx/libmysqlclient.so.10, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(/lib/i686/libmysqlclient.so.10, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(/lib/mmx/libmysqlclient.so.10, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(/usr/lib/i686/mmx/libmysqlclient.so.10, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(/usr/lib/i686/libmysqlclient.so.10, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(/usr/lib/mmx/libmysqlclient.so.10, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open(/usr/lib/libmysqlclient.so.10, O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) As you see, /usr/local/mysql/current/lib is not checked for that file, so I suggest you put this directory into /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig to update the list of shared objects. Use ldconfig -v | grep libmysqlclient to see if it's listed. Then try vadddomain again. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] handled user
Hi made, Just to the point. How many users can vpopmail handled? From the manual i already read, i'm still confused about how vpopmail handled more than 100 users on one virtual domain! would you give me some reference or a clue for this one. Quoting from http://inter7.com/vpopmailfeatures.html: [...] * Support for 1 to 23 million virtual email domains using a grow as it goes balenced directory tree. * Support for 1 to 23 million email users per domain using the same balenced tree structure.

Re: [vchkpw] Autoresponder + EZMLM?
Hi Duncan, The vacation message never makes it to the list (I understand this is normal) Yes, that's correct. I'm sure you don't want vacation messages distributed through the mailing list. :-) and any postings to the list never make it to the person with their vacation autoresponsder set up. That's bad, without question. deferral: AUTORESPOND:_I_can't_handle_a_message_with_a_Mailing-List_header I often noticed the autoresponder doing stupid things. In case of I can't handle a message with a Mailing-List header I suggest it should exit silently with an error code of 0 instead of 100 because... * 100 prevents the message from being delivered to the final recipient * Nobody is interested in getting informed about a vacation message that hasn't been created Anyway, I wonder why your log notes this line as deferral. Judging from the source (I have autoresponder 2.0.3) it exits with 100 which means hard error = failure, while only 111 should generate deferrals. Hopefully somebody can bring some more light into this. I guess the autoresponder's exit codes need some additional review. Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] SMTP-Auth doesnt work properly
Hi Sven, the mailclient sends the auth-infos to the server the server sais no authentiacation method found by MD5-cram authentication You said you're using vpopmail 5.2.1, which only supports PLAIN and LOGIN as authentication types. The current development version supports CRAM-MD5 since 5.3.6; see http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/ChangeLog and when i take normal Auth and sends with wrong passwort, he sais authentication wrong - ok, but i can always send my email - with, without or with wrong authentication Maybe you're already authenticed by POP3/IMAP4 if you compiled vpopmail with --enable-roaming-users=y?

Re: [vchkpw] some bug vopmail/qmailadmin with plaintext enabled
Hi, if we use vpopmail with plaintext passwords enabled and some user changes his password to string which contains ':' symbol - qmailadmin doesn't list users after that account. Yes, you're right. That's the problem with every single text database that uses a colon to separate fields. qmailadmin simply sees that line as a line that doesn't have the right number of fields. (The same problem occurs with vpopmail installations that don't have clear text passwords enabled at all.) Dear Inter7 developers: What about quoting a colon as \:? Yes, that would need coordinated changes both in vpopmail and qmailadmin, but the current behaviour is confusing. Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail/qmail + non virtualdomain aliases/forwards
Hi Stratsimir, The only solution I am aware of is to make .qmail-abuse in every domain dir, but then the postmaster users will be able to delete those forwards using vpopmail frontend. Bloody workaround: After creating .qmail-abuse, do a chown root.root .qmail-abuse. People will be able to see that address, but they can't delete it. I've tried to put .qmail-abuse in /var/log/qmail/alias - it didn't worked for me. It doesn't work in general because ~alias is only consulted if no matching user is found. Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] using valias
Hi Joshua, We used qmail with fastforward before. We had an entry in our /etc/aliases file like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: employee1, boss, supervisor [EMAIL PROTECTED]: employee2, boss, supervisor [EMAIL PROTECTED]: boss [EMAIL PROTECTED]: supervisor Question: How do I duplicate this using valias?

Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail+virus scanner
Hi Anonymous, please use a real name when posting. Thanks. Is there a way to use a filter on every user in a vpopmail-domain directory without putting the filter in every .qmail-user file ? Not on a per-domain basis. You can use server-wide scanners like qmail-scanner (http://qmail-scanner.sf.net/) to do so. Or maybe set vpopmail in a way so than it includes the filter when creating a domain or user. Would require a patch. I'm not aware of a patch that does what you want. Feel free to create one. :) Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] postmaster for virtual domains
Hi Dale, What do I need to do in order to send the failure notices to the postmaster of the domain that the message is failing on. Right now all failures go to the default domain. That's not true. Failure messages go to the _sender_ of the message. In case of a _double_ bounce (= qmail couldn't deliver the bounce), a double bounce message is delivered to the system wide postmaster, which can be configured through /var/qmail/control/doublebounce(to|host). See the qmail documentation. I want the failures for say virtualdomain1.com (ie: user is over quota) to go to the postmaster of virtualdomain1.com instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] That's not possible without changing the vpopmail code. To give you a better understanding of the vpopmail system: qmail-local calls vdelivermail through .qmail-default. vdelivermail tries to find an account to deliver the mail to. If it works, it delivers the mail. If not, it exists with an error code. qmail-local sees that error code and sends back a bounce to the sender. It's simply that: Success means: success, failure means: bounce mail. Jonas
