[vchkpw] chkuser and smtproutes
Greetings, I have been considering using the chkuser patch in conjunction with simscan. I've looked at the docs and FAQs, but can't find anything that talks about how chkuser works with a domain in smtproutes. Is there a way that chkuser could accept e-mail to any account in one particular domain? Is there support for smtproutes? I have a few domains that forward to exchange boxes. I did Google for smtproutes both on inter7.com and interazioni.it, finding nothing. Found two threads on the mailing list archives, but didn't get a distinct answer. Sorry if this is a FAQ. PK

The problem (on both version) come when I try to put a multiple maildir delivery command in .qmail file, like this: ./Maildir/ ./Maildir2/ I'm pretty sure that vdelivermail is assuming the second line is an address and not a Maildir since it doesn't contains the string /Maildir/. I'll look into updating vpopmail to do Maildir delivery if the line starts with . or /. How about using safecat? You could use something like ./Maildir/ |safecat /path/to/Maildir2/tmp /path/to/Maildir2/new More info on safecat: http://budney.homeunix.net:8080/users/budney/linux/software/safecat.html PK
RE: [vchkpw] Vpopmail script
Does anyone have a script that will add or delete email accounts in vpopmail given a static file with the email address of each user we want to add or delete? Do you mean something like # for f in `cat file.txt` ; do /home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser $f ; done Then you'd have to manage the passwords...
RE: [vchkpw] Has the format of vpasswd file changed?
We added a clear password field that used to be default turned off for backwards compatibility. I think in later versions of 5.3 folks updated the code to support either. I'd recommend backing up your vpopmail/bin, lib and include directory then doing a regular install of vpopmail with --enable-clear-passwd=n. Re config/compile courier-imap from scratch. If that does not work you can put the old binaries back. I bet it would work. It's a good bet. Everything's working well now. Thanks for the suggestion. my 2cents Worth a lot more than that!
[vchkpw] RE: vpopmail and smtp-auth...
Hello All, i have a stupid problem with vpopmail and smtp-after-pop or smtp-auth. I have read a howto in the web where vpopmail is used to make smtp-after-pop or smtp-auth. I have configured my run script for pop3d and smtpd like it was configured in the howto but it doesn't work. The virual Domains are running and the pop3d is running too but i could not get smtpd running with authentification. Here is my qmail-smtpd/run script: #!/bin/bash QMAILDUID=`id -u vpopmail` NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` exec /usr/bin/softlimit -m 6600 \ /usr/bin/tcpserver -H -R -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -c $MAXSMTPD -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID \ 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd `hostname --fqdn` \ /var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 21 could someone tell me whats wrong here? is it possible to do it like i want it? Only people who are in registered as virtual-domain-email-user should be allowed to send email thrue my smtp server. I don't need smtp-after-pop, smtp-auth is doing all i need but it could be smtp-after-pop too... Three questions: 1. have you checked to make sure that `hostname --fqdn` returns your domain name? 2. Did you apply the smtp-auth patch to qmail before running make? 3. Are you sure that the path to vchkpw is /var/vpopmail/bin and not /home/vpopmail/bin? I think that the default install directory for vpopmail is in /home.
[vchkpw] RE: vpopmail and smtp-auth...
Three questions: 1. have you checked to make sure that `hostname --fqdn` returns your domain name? Yes, it returns the hostname of my Server but the domain name is not a virtual host... should it be that? No, shouldn't matter. 2. Did you apply the smtp-auth patch to qmail before running make? Yes, i use Gentoo-Linux and the Patch is inluded and qmail should be patched... I have thought that it could the problem already. OK. Had to ask, anyway. I'm not familiar with Gentoo. 3. Are you sure that the path to vchkpw is /var/vpopmail/bin and not /home/vpopmail/bin? I think that the default install directory for vpopmail is in /home. Yes, thats right but in Gentoo they have changed the path from /home/vpopmail to /var/vpopmail. I have checked that and vchkpw is in this path. Figured as much. Is my solution possible? It should be. How are you deducing that amtp-auth is not working? What have you tried?
[vchkpw] Has the format of vpasswd file changed?
Greetings folks, if(you don't care about the explanation) goto QUESTION :EXPLANATION I am this close - '' to getting courier-imap to work (well) with vchkpw. I have compiled courier --without-authdaemon and --with-authvchkpw. I have been running vpopmail 5.2.1 for a while now, but on someone's advice I also compiled 5.3.29 and copied libvpopmail.a to the /home/vpopmail/lib directory, renaming the old one. I did this, of course, before I built courier-imap. When I start courier using tcpserver, I believe that the authentication process itself is successful, but it craps out, citing the following failure: chdir Pop User by CGI: No such file or directory Looking in that domain's vpasswd file, the format is this: username:password:1:0:Pop User by CGI:path-to-user's-dir:NOLOGIN Sometimes the Pop User by CGI is replaced with the username, or Pop User by CLI. So my question is this: :QUESTION Has the format of the vpasswd file changed between 5.2.x and 5.3.x? I looked in the docs, ChangeLog and FAQ and can't find anything that explains the syntax. I realize my whole setup is cracked, especially the fact that I did not install vpopmail 5.3.29, that I'm just using the libvpopmail.a from it. I didn't want to screw up my vpopmail installation, since it has been working fine for so long now. Thanks in advance, and let me know if I need to supply any more info. PK
