[vchkpw] #define CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE CHKUSER_START
hi all i'm about to edit chkuser_settings.h to uncomment #define CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE CHKUSER_START so chkuser will ALWAYS check how do i recomple qmail-smtpd only, as recommended by the chkuser documentation ? a make setup check as done in a LWQ install will compile the entire qmail bin tree, which i don't need to do here. !DSPAM:484391d232354837816608!

[vchkpw] mail forward
Hi all, I am new to this list as well as to qmail + vpopmail I have a basic question. I have configured qmail and vpopmail on my server. Have 6 domains configured. The qmail installation is standard. In /var/qmail and vpopmail installation in /home/vpopmail parikhsteel.com is one of the domains. Now I want that all the mails to parikhsteel.com (except mails for two users on the same domain) should be forwarded to three users on the same domain. How can I do that? Please guide. Regards, Sameer.
Re: IMAP before SMTP
Chris Keating writes: Chris, Thanks for your efforts. This works for me. However, this workaround has a few drawbacks that you may already be aware of: 1. If imap access is turned off (via vmoduser -i), then imap access is not granted, but open_relay still tries to run and just leaves the open_smtp file owned by root.root, making roaming break until permissions are changed back. 2. If roaming is disabled for that user (via vmoduser -r), open_relay has no way of knowing since it's separate from authvchkpw now. So they get to roam anyway. 3. For people using multiple authentication modules (not me), anyone who is authenticated will get roaming access. Since we are now forced to use authdaemon (as far as I can tell, anyway), seems like the best solution would be for imaplogin to pass the environment to authdaemond. This would fix everything mentioned above, I think, and perhaps similar issues for other authentication modules. 1. This is a problem with the vpopmail.c code, IMHO it doesn't recover from hiccups as well as it should. 2,3. The real problem here is that a side effect (SMTP relay authentication) is being piggy-backed onto authentication. authdaemond is soley concerned Correct. I have said many times before that my opinion is that POP-before-SMTP and IMAP-before-SMTP approach is a hack, nothing more. This approach might have made sense 2-3 years ago, but not any more. Pretty much every mail client out there supports authenticated SMTP, and that's the right solution for this particular problem. That's what people should be doing. Authenticated SMTP is a much more reliable, and a technically sane approach. FWIW, you can still get the old authentication configuration by specifying --without-authdaemon to Courier-IMAP's configuration script. It's just that the default setting now builds authdaemon, because it's simply easier for me with everyone on the same playing field, and everyone using authdaemon. -- Sam
