[vchkpw] Convert MySQL to LDAP?
Is it possible to convert from MySQL to LDAP authentication in any sort of a sane manner? I'm trying to couple two systems together, one of them being closed-source. The only available way to couple qmail together with my CS application without programming an intermediary black-box is to convert my qmail back-end to LDAP. -- --- - Nick Bright Network Administrator Valnet, LLC Tel 888-332-1616 x 315 Fax 620-332-1201 !DSPAM:4a0044fa32689579318546!

Re: [vchkpw] Local delivery and routing to another server
It sounds like you are wanting to use what some packages call a smarthost, and relay all of your non-local mail through a particular server. To use one server as a smarthost for all outbound mail, place in smtproutes: :smarthostip If you want to relay only specific domains use: domain.tld:smarthost.ip domain2.tld:smarthost.ip If you want to relay specific domains to specific locations use: domain.tld:smarthost.ip domain2.tld:smarthost2.ip If you want to do specific domains to one smarthost, and catchall to another, use: domain.tld:smarthost.ip :smarthost2.ip --- - Nick Bright Network Administrator Terra World Communications, LLC Tel 888-332-1616 x 315 Fax 620-332-1201 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi All, I have a server that is used to authenticated relay and where alsothe local domains are.

[vchkpw] Problems with domain limits
Greetings, I've got an installation of vpopmail 5.4.17, vqadmin 2.3.6, and qmailadmin 1.2.11 (updated vqadmin and qmailadmin trying to fix this issue). This issue started when I recompiled qmailadmin to remove domain-autofill, and I came across it once before long ago - but lost/forgot the fix. What happens is that vpopmail (even when compiled with --disable-mysql-limits) stores all information in the SQL table limits. Qmailadmin, regardless of how vpopmail is compiled, will only look in the SQL table for limit information, and does not have a compile flag to tell it to pay attention to the .qmailadmin-limits file. Vqadmin, regardless of how vpopmail is compiled, will only look at the .qmailadmin-limits file, and does not have a compile flag to tell it to look in the database instead. Though I would prefer that things look at the .qmailadmin-limits file (since that's where all the limits are defined currently) I don't really care if the limits are in .qmailadmin-limits, or in the sql table, I just need to know how to get _all_ of the applications to look at the same thing. If it has to be in SQL, I can go through all my domains and put them in the database. Any advice is welcome, thanks in advance. -- --- - Nick Bright Network Administrator Terra World Tel 888-332-1616 x 315 Fax 620-332-1201 !DSPAM:48483e5232352133457548!
Re: [vchkpw] Problems with domain limits
Update to this issue: It seems a little odd, but with vpopmail compiled for --disable-mysql-limits if the limits table exists, vmoddomlimits will apply settings to that table. If the table is deleted, it applies them to the .qmailadmin-limits file. So now, vpopmail and vqadmin are talking to .qmailadmin-limits; all that remains is to get qmailadmin to talk to .qmailadmin-limits.

Re: [vchkpw] Problems with domain limits
Odd. I can't explain it other than I must have done something in the wrong order, because I installed qmailadmin-1.2.11 after recompiling vpopmail-5.4.17 without mysql-limits, but I did a make clean and make install-strip on qmailadmin-1.2.11 as you suggested and now it's reading the .qmailadmin-limits file. --- - Nick Bright Network Administrator Terra World Tel 888-332-1616 x 315 Fax 620-332-1201 Rick Macdougall wrote: Nick Bright wrote: Update to this issue: It seems a little odd, but with vpopmail compiled for --disable-mysql-limits if the limits table exists, vmoddomlimits will apply settings to that table.

[vchkpw] Feature support questions: CRAM-MD5, SPA/APOP, SSL
I'm working on adding security features and compatability to my server, which is currently running vpopmail 5.4.17. At the moment, everything is working fine, but there are many features my system doesn't support. My end goal is to support virtually any combination of server options in Outlook Express. While personally I detest OE, it is without a doubt the most commonly used email client, so I'd like to make sure I support it as well as possible. Currently, if someone check marks Secure password authentication in OE (either for SMTP or POP), it does not work. Is it possible to get qmail/vpopmail to support that option for both POP and SMTP? I've already got SMTP Authentication SMTP CRAM-MD5 working properly, based on the vpopmail contrib patch for such; as well as IMAP-SSL, IMAP-TLS (courier-imap). However, courier-imap doesn't seem to want to use CRAM-MD5. Is there something specific about vchkpw that would cause that to not work? Does anyone on the list know if there are patches for qmail-pop3d to support CRAM-MD5 and TLS? I've already reviewed getting STUNNEL going, and while I haven't gotten it working yet, I think I'm close. I don't need step by step instructions, as I've been maintaining a qmail/vpopmail server for several years; but I would appreciate any pointers towards good patches for supporting these features - if they exist.

Re: [vchkpw] qmail high performance
I had the same problems under high load on a similarly configured machine (2.0Ghz instead of 2.4Ghz, but other than that about the same). When I installed the external big todo patches it helped A LOT, but I still have some delay in delivery. However it is much more acceptable as messages can be delayed one to two minutes, instead of fifteen to twenty minutes. Usually things go through fairly instantly. The single best performance enhancer you could do would be the external todo patch, from my point of view. I also found that the chkuser patch also helped a LOT, I highly recommend using that patch as well. For reference, I'm not using Bill's toaster, but rather my own custom brew. Another load reducing method is to use a much faster anti-spam product, but you will most likely have to pay for that. I suggest MPPd (messagepartners.com) I've been using it for several years with the Cloudmark plugin and it is much more effective than spamassassin, with hundreds of times lower load on the system. --- - Nick Bright Network Administrator Terra World Tel 888-332-1616 x 315 Fax 620-332-1201 João Luiz - Terra wrote: Hi Tren, Sorry.

I also tried the same SPAMDOPTIONS without the --username=vpopmail option, and it still came up with a username of vpopmail (since that is the user that calls spamc, I belive). I use: preline /usr/bin/spamc -s 1000 -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ok, I added your -u [EMAIL PROTECTED] to my spamc line, and I get the following log entries when sending a message: Aug 18 14:35:09 node0 spamd[32486]: processing message [EMAIL PROTECTED] for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0. Aug 18 14:35:09 node0 spamd[32486]: identified spam (1001.0/5.0) for [EMAIL PROTECTED]:0 in 0.1 seconds, 2678 bytes. So it appears to be getting the address properly (yay!), however, it didn't create a prefs entry in the database. If it's as simple as it doesn't make it automatically, and just uses the default if it's not there is fine, I just don't know and couldn't really tell from the documentation. My table is set up as such: ++--+--+-+-++ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | ++--+--+-+-++ | username | varchar(100) | | MUL | || | preference | varchar(30) | | | || | value | varchar(100) | | | || | prefid | int(11) | | PRI | NULL| auto_increment | ++--+--+-+-++ Does that cause a problem? It's the table description I got from the documentation at http://old.spamassassin.org/full/2.6x/dist/sql/README, but I had to remove the word default because it wouldn't create the table with that on there. Maybe that's the problem? Perhaps at this point, I need to take my question to the spamassassin list? Thanks for your time. Works like a charm for me. Hope that helps, Nick Harring Webley Systems -- - Nick Bright Terraworld, Inc http://home.terraworld.net | 888-332-1616
[vchkpw] vdelivermail traversing all maildirs on server before delivering mail
I'm setting up a new server with vpopmail 5.4.4 (should be the latest stable?), and everything was working as it should until I got to the point of load testing. I added 10,000 accounts (not quite as many as I have on the production server, which runs vpopmail 5.2.1) to test.com on the server with this script: #!/bin/bash # Script to create some email accounts on the test server @test.com for i in `seq 1 1`; do /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vadduser -n [EMAIL PROTECTED] done which completes in fairly short order (took about 2 minutes) with no errors. Looking at the domain in vqadmin and through mysql directly show all the users, and everything looks fine. However, when I then send a mail to any user (doesn't matter which) qmail-local kicks off the delivery process and it takes a LONG time and there is LOTS of disk access. By using the lsof command i was able to see what files vdelivermail had open, and it was pretty clear that it was traversing EVERY maildir on the domain (only one domain right now - I don't know if it would traverse other domains as well) before delivering the mail to the correct Maildir (which it will do eventually). While not documented as not right, it clearly isn't supposed to do that (as it would take forever for the server to get anything done). Is this a known issue? Possibly my compile-time options for vpopmail? Did I do something wrong, or is this a bug? Any comments/suggestions are welcome. -- - Nick Bright Terraworld, Inc http://home.terraworld.net | 888-332-1616

Is this 'by design' for a setup with domain limits turned on? It's a poor design that requires vdelivermail to traverse the entire domain to determine whether it's over quota or not. Ah.
