[vchkpw] Vpopmail using 5 Sleeping SQL's
Hello List, I'm tracking down a problem with my linux server crashing about once a week, and one thing that pops up as a resource hog is vpopmail constantly running 5 sleeping processes, for lots and lots of seconds. Is this normal? Is this inefficient for sql? Is there a reason it keeps these connections open? I'm on vpopmail 5.4.13, using mysql 4.1.12 for authentication. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Russell Mann
RE: [vchkpw] chkuser patch
The standard chkuser patch that vpopmail uses (see Bill Shupp's update to the original: http://www.shupp.org/patches/chkuser-0.6.mysql.patch) has some rather nasty behaviours. If for some reason your mysql server is unavailable (load has shot so high that mysql can't return a prompt reply, you're upgrading mysql, taking db down for maintenance, etc.) the chkusr patch will start telling remote smtp clients that the user doesn't exist. This is not good; you never want to send a 550 on a user that really does exist; people get upset when things bounce, and mailing lists start looking at auto-removal. That explains a lot. I thought the chkuser patch was awesome until I started seeing 550's bouncing to customers for email addresses that aren't actually 550. I'll be happy when the new patch comes about that fixes this issue. -Russell

[vchkpw] qmail-smtpd-chkusr patch not applying
Hello, Ok, my previous emails have been assuming that the patch was applied, however by diffing the old qmail-smtpd and the new qmail-smtpd and finding zero binary differences, I figured out that my previous patch had been failing due to an earlier patch moving lines around in qmail-smtpd.c. So, I stripped it back to just vanilla qmail-1.03, plus the patch, just to see where I could get, and this is whats up: I've been having some trouble applying the qmail-smtpd-chkusr patch to qmail-1.03. I'm on a RedHat 6.2 system, and I tried to make it as simple as possible. Below are what I hope are the relevant information for figuring out what's wrong.

RE: [vchkpw] QS to reject misaddressed email at SMTP conversation
ok so we're both right and we're both wrong. the patch functionality itself does not require the qmail-toaster patch, however, since the patch file itself was created against the qmail-toaster patch, it requires it to be cleanly patched without manual intervention. So, if you don't want to do any work, then I guess it requires the toaster patch. Perhaps he should make a patch against stock qmail so those of us who don't want to use his 'toaster' patch can use it anyways. -Jeremy Or he should at least say somewhere on his site that the chkuser patch requires the toaster. At least then I would have ignored it instead of trying to get it to work against vanilla qmail :) -Russell

I did test them both with mysql at the command line. Thanks, Russell (sending this to the list because I think it previously went to the default reply-to) To recap... I am trying to upgrade my working 5.3.27 CDB installation to a 5.3.27 MYSQL installation. I have 10 domains currently running on this system through CDB databases. RedHat 2.2.16-3 kernel mysqld -v outputs this: mysqld Ver 3.23.40 for pc-linux-gnu on i686 This is what I've done: create database vpopmail; grant update, create, delete, insert on vpopmail.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by password; grant select on vpopmail.* to [EMAIL PROTECTED] identified by password; flush privileges; (for each of the 10 domains) ./vconvert-cdb-sql-big.pl (for each of the 10 domains) ALTER TABLE domain_dom ADD COLUMN pw_clear_passwd char(16); in ~vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql localhost|mysql|vpopmail_read|password|vpopmail localhost|mysql|vpopmail_edit|password|vpopmail chmod 600 /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql tar -xzpf vpopmail-5.3.27.tar.gz cd vpopmail-5.3.27 ./configure \ --enable-roaming-users=y \ --enable-tcpserver-file=/home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp \ --enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/local/bin/tcprules \ --enable-relay-clear-minutes=180 \ --enable-auth-logging=y \ --enable-logging=p \ --enable-learn-passwords=y \ --enable-clear-passwd=y \ --enable-mysql=y \ --enable-incdir=/usr/include/mysql \ --enable-libdir=/usr/lib/mysql \ --enable-mysql-logging=y \ --enable-valias=y \ --enable-mysql-limits=n \ --enable-many-domains=n \ --enable-qmail-ext=y \ --enable-defaultquota=5000 make cp -R ~vpopmail/bin ~vpopmail/old.bin make install-strip Here's my /service/qmail-pop3d/run file: #!/bin/sh VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 300 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -v \ -u$VPOPMAILUID -g$VPOPMAILGID \ -c100 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup judah.khouse.org \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 My qmail install includes the patch qmail-maildir++.patch. -- Everything installs and appears to be ready to go. mysql logging works and this is what I get in all my logs: vchkpw-pop3: vpopmail user not found user@domain:ip address In the error column of vlog, it says: 1 If I do the exact same thing, changing --enable-mysql=y to --enable-mysql=n and (obviously) not running the vconvert, everything is peachy, although not using mysql.

RE: [vchkpw] vpopmail 5.3.27 + mysql
I know this may sound redundant or silly but check your permissions on qmail-pop3d and the vckpwd binary. Maybe your permissions on those files are the problem. Cuz by the looks of what you sent in email so far you have done it right. It's gotta be something stupid. Yes, tcp.pop3 file is for pop3 auth. Just a little extra precaution. I believe the qmail-pop3d runs under root. What version of MySQL are you using? -- Regards, Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] mysqld -v mysqld Ver 3.23.40 for pc-linux-gnu on i686 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d -rwxr-xr-x 1 root qmail 26k Sep 25 15:54 qmail-pop3d /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 51k Sep 30 11:04 vchkpw* -- I've tried several options in the pop3d run file, as per official instructions, instructions on this email list etc. #!/bin/sh VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 300 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -v \ -u$VPOPMAILUID -g$VPOPMAILGID \ -c100 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup judah.khouse.org \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 #!/bin/sh exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 300 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver \ -H -l judah.khouse.org -v \ -c 100 -R 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup judah.khouse.org \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 #!/bin/sh VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail` VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail` exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l 0 -R -H -v \ -u$VPOPMAILUID -g$VPOPMAILGID 0 110 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup judah.khouse.org \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 - None of them seem to change it. What is the tcp.pop3.cdb file for? Is it an IP permissions file for popping email? Also, what user/group should qmail-pop3d run under in order to validate users correctly? Thanks, Russell
