Re: [vchkpw] Vusaged segmentation fault on long names
I will be releasing a better fix shortly. My apologies for the late reply, I was busy moving. I can confirm that the newly released version no longer contains this bug and have updated all servers to the latest 5.4.28 version. Thanks for the fix!

[vchkpw] Vusaged segmentation fault on long names
Hi all,
I found a bug with long domain names which crashes with a segmentation fault
when the vusaged is started. We have 1 client with a domainname of 57
characters and although it is not the domain name listed below, it produces
the same result. I believe vpopmail supports domainnames upto 63 characters?
Or am I wrong?
Steps to reproduce:
/home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain -e postmaster
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456.nl test
/home/vpopmail/bin/vusaged
Returns a segmentation fault:
config: using /home/vpopmail/etc/vusaged.conf
socket: listening on /tmp/vusaged.sock
controller: stage one
Segmentation fault
Running through gdb results in:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

Re: [vchkpw] Vusaged segmentation fault on long names
Thank you for the quick reply! Is this in 5.5? What are the steps to reproduce? I added the domain as you did above, and my vusaged binary from trunk is running as expected, returning data for the long domain name. No, this is in 5.4.28, not running 5.5 at the moment, I can reproduce by creating a long domainname and starting vusaged. This would seem to indicate that the issue occurred somewhere in vpopmail's vauth_getall call, or in MySQL itself. Can you post your vusaged.conf, configure options for the main tree, and configure options for the MySQL module? --- ./configure \ --prefix=/home/vpopmail \ --disable-roaming-users \ --enable-logging=p \ --disable-ip-alias-domains \ --disable-passwd \ --enable-clear-passwd \ --disable-domain-quotas \ --enable-auth-module=mysql \ --enable-incdir=/usr/include/mysql/ \ --enable-libdir=/usr/lib/ \ --disable-many-domains \ --enable-auth-logging \ --enable-sql-logging \ --enable-valias \ --disable-mysql-limits \ --enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcp.smtp --- Not using 5.5 so no mysql backend --- vusaged.conf (without comments) -- Log: Level = 1; Socket: Filename = /tmp/vusaged.sock; // Listen = 0.0.0.0:189; // Allow = 192.168.1.161 127.0.0.1; UID = vpopmail; GID = vchkpw; Client timeout = 5; // Inactivity timeout in seconds Poll timeout = 1; Detect client timeout = 4; Queue: Workers = 10; Max queue size = 1000; Polling: Use Maildir++ format = True; Directory minimum poll time = 120; Count directory entry size = True; Age Factor = 1; --- Something else is happening.

Re: [vchkpw] Problem adding accounts

[vchkpw] Vpopmail 5.4.28 - rc1 - notes
Hi Matt, I have installed 5.4.28-rc1 on several production mail servers and noticed the following: a.. configure and make went like a charm on Debian Squeeze. The result after configure now also shows the correct version number b.. Perhaps it would be preferable to have the vusaged file automatically copied to ~/vpopmail/bin/ instead of having to do it manually. The output of the normal configure shows: cd vusaged ./configure make for the vusagec to work, but that is not enough, in /vusaged/INSTALL are more steps. Could it be automated further? I have it working now on 2 mail servers without problems (so far), will let you know if I find anything else. c.. The 0 message count for totals in @domain when using vusagec has been corrected in rc1 (as you no doubt know), just confirming the fix here. Furthermore, the segmentation fault on another server was caused by a domain name of 59 characters long. I am not sure whether the length was the problem or something else, but upon removing it it no longer segfaulted. First I upgraded my libmysqlclient libraries to rule that out as the cause (since the errorlog message indicated the problem would be there) and recompiled against libmysqlclient16, however this did not make a difference. Finally I found the offending domain name by running vusaged through the debugger gdb after strace did not provide any meaningful output. It appears that the problem was not the domain in the strace output, but always the 'next' domain in the list. Which gdb showed in a full backtrace and strace did not. Anyway, just thought you'd like to know. We have 5.4.28-rc1 on three production servers now. I will let you know how it goes. Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt !DSPAM:4a75c27632719325615117!

Re: [vchkpw] Re: Testing
Wouter, thank you for allowing me to connect to your test environment remotely to determine what was going on. I've CC'd the vchkpw list so the members can see my findings. No problem, thank you! This was occurring because the most recent tarball for 5.4.28 does not contain the updated code that handles message counts. Originally the vusage daemon only returned byte counts. To fully support domain quotas it had to support message counts as well. This was added after the tarball was created. I installed the trunk on your system and it's working. If you're using 5.4.28, use the trunk version rather than a tarball so that you're using the latest version when reporting bugs. Alright, will do. I have installed 5.4.28-rc1 at the moment on our production servers and will let you know if anything comes up. * Regarding the segmentation fault with vusaged, I cannot give / am not allowed to give remote access. However I have ruled out file system corruption and in the syslog I am getting: Jul 30 08:45:19 mail2 kernel: [ 4492.236858] vusaged[21583]: segfault at 72656b79 ip b7dbb1d1 sp b2b10110 error 4 in libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0[b7d4c000+1a3000]. I have upgraded the server so it has libmysqlclient16 installed, but it still links against libmysqlclient15. How can I modify this to try if this solves the problem? I do not have this particular problem on other servers and it is an older server that suffered 100% hd full situations once or twice in the past, so it is possible the fault lies elsewhere. * Regarding: the deferral: Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0) message in /var/log/qmail/current. I believe it happens when a message is sent to a catch-all address (thus a non-existing mailbox), in which case vusagec returns manually: No data available, which is seen as a crash. Could this possibly be the case? If so, perhaps the error message can be more descriptive? Anyway, this causes email to stay in the queue and not being delivered. The client API does not treat *anything* from the vusage daemon as a failure to avoid problems like this. 'Aack, child crashed' is a really non-descriptive error message that means the child process segfaulted. This to me means that vdelivermail is segfaulting. It's hard for me to say why without access to the system. If it's happening within the client API, I'd be pretty surprised, but it's certainly possible. How can I run vdelivermail manually to test if it is crashing? Is there any chance you can copy the existing domain to this test environment? Maybe copying the domain over to the test environment will duplicate the issue so I can debug it. I'm going to try to do that this weekend. What I noticed was though. If I remove the domain that is causing this beahavior the same happens to the 'next' domain. Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt !DSPAM:4a73eb4232711302398837!
Re: [vchkpw] 5.4.28 test remarks
Good morning, The 5.5 branch is working in FHS compliance, and it's a bit complex because so much of vpopmail has been built on /home/vpopmail. Normally vpopmail looks for an existing tcp.smtp file and then favors that over it's desired /home/vpopmail/etc location. Adding the FHS favoring in also caused some pathing issues with the tcp.smtp file. Just force it for now. This will be worked out as 5.5 becomes the devel version. Allright, actually I remember you saying this before. I forgot. I used: --enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcp.smtp for now. Warning: Failed while attempting to delete domain from auth backend Please do because I can't remember what happened with this. Allright, below is a snippet of the email from before: (it seems to happen after a clean install, at which time, no logins have been recorded yet, perhaps the table is not yet created? --- I performed a strace on the command vdeldomain and found: write(4, 1\0\0\0\3delete from lastauth where d..., 53) = 53 read(4, 0\0\0\1\377z\4#42S02Table 'vpopmail.last..., 16384) = 52 write(2, Warning: Failed while attempting ..., 68Warning: Failed while attempting to delete domain from auth backend ) = 68 Manual investigation showed that there is no table lastauth in the vpopmail database. Should this have been created on install ? or is this created when somebody logs in?

Re: [vchkpw] 5.4.28 - vusaged - error - deferral: Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0)

Good morning all, I have installed Vpopmail 5.4.28 on a few production mail servers and noticed a problem. As long as vusaged is running, the following error message appears in /var/log/qmail/current: deferral: Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0) which causes all local email to stay in the queue 'forever'. Shutting down the vusage daemon has the desired effect that email is being delivered.

But the email is deliverd. Any idea why I get child crashed when trying to deliver local emails? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt !DSPAM:4a6d6be932711310325944!

Many domains and mailboxes are iterated before this pops up in the strace log.
If I delete this domain from the server, it will go to the next domain and
display the same error message for another 'next' domain. I still have no idea
what the error message could be. The message in the syslog would indicate a
problem with the mysql client library, however the output from the strace would
suggest there is another problem.
When looking at the respective mailbox, the ownership and permissions are all
correct vpopmail:vchkpw and also the directory structure of the Maildir++
directory seems fine. /tmp is also writable .. any ideas? Does the vusage
daemon have any debugging or logging options that I can enable on the command
line?

[vchkpw] Any 5.4.28 or 5.5 ETA?
Hi all, I know it has been a while, but a few months ago, I commented on an error message when deleting a domain using vdeldomain in the 5.5 branch. The error message was: Warning: Failed while attempting to delete domain from auth backend. I believe at that time, the cause of the message has been identified by mr. Brookings. Just to let you know. On a clean install of vpopmail 5.4.25. This message also appears. However only it seems because it hadn't been used yet (the server). Is there an ETA on the release of the 5.4.28 or 5.5 branch? Most notably the 5.5 branch. We are anxious to further experiment with it in more production environments. Is there anything we can help with? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt !DSPAM:4a68155432715685083483!

Installing the necessary files worked, but perhaps the message could be a little different because the option 'was' specified. Anyway, this is only a minor issue. --- 2 --- The status at the end of the configure, shows 5.4.27, even though it is 5.4.28, again - minor. --- 3 --- In 5.5 I noticed that the tcp.smtp file was moved to /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp instead of /etc/tcp.smtp. Is this the new default behavior in 5.4.28 as well? This would probably mean that people will have to update their existing /var/qmail/bin/qmailctl file for the cdb command to reload the rules? --- 4 --- The previously reported error message: Warning: Failed while attempting to delete domain from auth backend also appears in 5.4.28 when adding and immediately deleting a domain. I believe the cause is also the same as in the 5.4.25 and 5.5 branch. If I remember correctly a strace revealed a failing SQL query on a non existing table. I can look it up if necessary, just let me know. What is the default behavior of the newly implemented domain quota's in 5.4.28? is it on or off by default, and if on, how can it be controlled? Last question: Is there any major change that could break an existing 5.4.25 installation? I'm considering to upgrade a production server to 5.4.28 status in order to test the usage daemon, the 2 GB per mailbox fix and possibly the domain quotas.

[vchkpw] Some vaddaliasdomain questions
Hi all, i have a few questions about domain-wide aliases. 1. I understand that vaddaliasdomain creates a domain wide alias, but am not sure what deletes them. As far as i understand valias is used for individual aliases. Do i use vdeldomain aliasdomain to delete the alias domain? if not, what do i use? 2. What happens to the alias domains if the main domain is deleted with vdeldomain, are they also deleted or do they remain in the configuration ? 3. Am I correct in assuming that the aliased domain cannot be used for authentication? (MySQL backend?) Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt !DSPAM:4a01524132684571147376!
Re: [vchkpw] Some vaddaliasdomain questions
The alias domain should be able to be used for authentication. It is an alias. Both the main and aliased domain should be able to be used. Thank you for the quick response. How does it handle quotas? mail delivered to the alias, is it calculated in the usage of the real domain? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt !DSPAM:4a01b4bc32681575117801!
[vchkpw] More vpopmail 5.5 notes / experiences
Good morning, Consider a vpopmail 5.5 install using timestamp build 1239053335: - I noticed that domains are now created in /home/vpopmail/var/vpopmail as opposed to /home/vpopmail/domains. Is this intended as a change in 5.5 or is it incorrect, perhaps also part of the FHS patch? Or can i specify the /home/vpopmail/domains somewhere as a confiugre option? It is a bit difficult to test on production servers if we have live data in /home/vpopmail/domains unless we all move the data to a different directory, but that would not be preferable. - vadddomain correctly adds a domain in the database and creates files / directories in the above mentioned parent directory, vdeldomain correctly deletes it from the database (and the files / directories), however it also throws an error message: Warning: Failed while attempting to delete domain from auth backend. - vlist is new to me, is this automatically packaged in 5.5 now? - vdelivermail (feautre request). At the moment we are running a modified version and have disabled 90% full checks in vdelivermail.c (around line 1139 by simply exiting the function). We do our own quota check, which with the use of the vusaged will become a lot faster. Perhaps you can include an option to disable this automatic mailing? Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt !DSPAM:49f6aef132681061776773!
Re: [vchkpw] More vpopmail 5.5 notes / experiences
Are you working with the current SVN branch, or with a tarball from Sourceforge? I'm not certain all changes to the FHS-related code are on Sourceforge. I was using the tarball, am now testing with SVN revision 891. Further testing reveals that a default ./configure returns: domains directory = /home/vpopmail/domains conf directory = /home/vpopmail/etc bin directory = /home/vpopmail/bin lib directory = /home/vpopmail/lib include directory = /home/vpopmail/include As expected, however adding --prefix=/home/vpopmail messes this up and makes it (im guessing unintentionally) domains directory = /home/vpopmail/var/vpopmail conf directory = /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail bin directory = /home/vpopmail/bin lib directory = /home/vpopmail/lib include directory = /home/vpopmail/include/vpopmail I think herein lies the source of both the strange location of vusaged.conf and the odd /domains directory. I realize the prefix i added was the default, but still. As for the error message from the SQL backend: I'm still getting that: Warning: Failed while attempting to delete domain from auth backend. running on Debian 5 - squeeze (testing). with MySQL Server version: 5.0.51a-24 (Debian) Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt !DSPAM:49f74fdb32681216471239!

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail 5.5 experiences during configure and install
Don't set a domain quota and it won't enforce one. Just an FYI. Great thanks. That could be usefull :) Is it off (as in not enforced) by default or do i need to specify a setting. The issue will be resolved with a linker flag which I accidentally did not re-implement when re-writing parts of the build system. Alright, no biggie then I'll need an error, or some sort of other info other than 'did not work' :) Please let me know any issues you come across. 5.5 will become the development version soon. Upon further investigation it appears that allthough the vadddomain command didnt create an error, it didnt create an entry in any database either. I tested the authentication as it is in /etc/vpopmail/vpopmail.mysql manually and that worked. mysql -uuser -ppassword -Ddatabase; Woops! Must be some issue with the FHS compliance pathing. I'll look into it. For now, do i copy the files into /etc/ or leave them where they are? I have it running on several large production servers. If there's anything that should be stable, it should be that daemon. Several months of development and testing went into that code. Great, im really curious about this daemon, at the moment we provide this with a realtime du -sm * through a socketserver, it is horribly slow on full mailboxes :) Sincerely, - Wouter van der Schagt !DSPAM:49f5ef1832681164811771!
[vchkpw] vpopmail 5.5 experiences during configure and install
Good morning, I'm trying out the 5.5 branch and configure / make it on some production servers. Below are my experiences. - 1) A ./configure without any additional options gives no warnings, however when specifying --enable-roaming-users I get the following error messages when the relay file is in /etc/tcp.smtp and the .cdb counterpart. configure: WARNING: Unable to find your tcpserver relay file. configure: WARNING: Creating /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp Has this behavior changed since vpopmail 5.4.25? - 2) When configuring with --enable-domain-quotas=n , the output at the end of the configure reveals quotes as turned on in the following line: domain quotas = ON --enable-domainquotas (default) Is this intended behavior or is my previous option false? - 3) After building vpopmail 5.5 and the mysql backend .. without errors (configure, make, make install). I get the following error message when executing : /home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain domain.com test /home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain: error while loading shared libraries: libvpopmail.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Where did I go wrong in the installation procedure? According to the output of the configure command the libdir is at /home/vpopmail/lib of which the contents is: drwxr-xr-x 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 2009-04-24 19:47 . drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 2009-04-24 19:37 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 144393 2009-04-24 19:45 libvpopmail.so -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root32316 2009-04-24 19:47 vmysql.so - 4) The vusaged. I cannot get it installed / configured. The INSTALL says to edit the config files in step 3 # vi /home/vpopmail/etc/vusaged.conf # vi /home/vpopmail/etc/vusagec.conf But the second config file does not exist. - 5) Continuing then to step 4 of vusagd install requires a chmod 755 /etc/init.d/vusagd to permit execution. This is not in the INSTALL file, perhaps it can be added. It won't work without it. - 6) The output of /sbin/chkconfig --add vusaged and /sbin/chkconfig vusaged on is (respectively) insserv: warning: script 'K01vusaged' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: warning: script 'vusaged' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: warning: script 'rc.vusaged' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (0) of script `halt' overwrites defaults (empty). insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (0 6) of script `sendsigs' overwrites defaults (empty). insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (6) of script `reboot' overwrites defaults (empty). insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (0 6) of script `umountnfs.sh' overwrites defaults (empty). insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (0 6) of script `umountroot' overwrites defaults (empty). insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (0 6) of script `umountfs' overwrites defaults (empty). vusaged 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off and insserv: warning: script 'K01vusaged' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: warning: script 'vusaged' missing LSB tags and overrides insserv: warning: script 'rc.vusaged' missing LSB tags and overrides Some are not relevant of course, but some are. How about adding the LSB tags and overrides? - 7) Trying to start /etc/init.d/vusaged start results in failed. Starting it manually results in the same: /home/vpopmail/bin/vusaged: error while loading shared libraries: libvpopmail.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Eventhough the libdir according to the configure output seems to be correct. - Is this a known issue?

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail 5.5 experiences during configure and install
Thank you for your quick reply, ..er, it's --enable-domainquotas not --enable-domain-quotas Yes, and they didnt work in versions 5.4.25 or below, all relevant code as i remember now was commented out so any configure options didnt have any effect. My badignore the question. As for the reason of turning it off...at the moment we only work with mailbox limits. and we dont want mailboxes to limit eachother because some clients have a client per mailbox. So that wouldn't be fair to their other clients. --- /sbin/ldconfig solved the shared object error message. Is this going to change in future versions or is this manual command going to be part of the installation procedure? After changing this, adding a domain (vadddomain) worked.. vdeldomain, however did not. Not sure why yet, will get back to you, im guessing however it is a misconfigured database user. --- # vi /home/vpopmail/etc/vusaged.conf # vi /home/vpopmail/etc/vusagec.conf As for this missing config file. Yes, I ran make install. I now see they are both in /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail/ and not in /home/vpopmail/etc/ is this intended? or is this a typo in the INSTALL file or are they placed in the wrong directory ? /etc/init.d/vusagd did start however, i am going to experiment with it and see how it performs. --- As for the LSB (Linux Standard Base) tags..I think the implementation is relatively new.

Re: [vchkpw] 5.5.0 branch
Good day! The idea of setting a flag with '-' and un-setting it with '+' is a little backwards. The point of the 5.5 branch is to do away with these oddities.

That would also work yes, for us, and i think for many others is that it can be modified by the command line so automation becomes easier.

Re: [vchkpw] how can I see all error messages about pop3 service ?
my server's pop3 service sometimes doesn't accept my emailusers'password and it reasks user and password. if I reboot the server, the problem is solved. I had this problem before, it occured when there were more than 50 domains on a server and the morercpthosts files was used in combination with the SMTP authentication patch. quote There's a patch available to that patch (or at least to patch 0.31 from that patch) that addresses a bug when there's a failed SMTP AUTH attempt. If the client attempts to send mail to a domain which is not listed in rcpthosts, qmail-smtpd is unable to read morercpthosts.cdb. Instead, it sends 421 unable to read controls (#4.3.0) and drops the connection. It seems, a wrong file descriptor is closed when using the morercpthosts cdb file. For more information: http://tomclegg.net/qmail/#qmail-smtpd-auth (point 6), the direct link to the patch file is: http://tomclegg.net/qmail/qmail-smtpd-auth-close3.patch /quote I'm not sure this helps.

Good morning all, First of all, happy new year! Second, I have some questions about valias. I understand the syntax is: valias -i alias destination 1.

If I want to add multiple aliases for the same destination do I issue the same command twice (or more) or can i add it in one command? 3.

AFAIK, you need OS quotas to get that to work. But that slows things down. Ideally, you would have a database of domains and quotas where a provisioning system deducts the amounts of diskspace that are given to individual users. Once the domain-quota is used up, it would not allow adding any more quota to any user in that domain. AFAIK, most control-panels with qmail underneath use this way, more or less. cheers, Rainer !DSPAM:484e80d532357934211682!

Re: [vchkpw] Enable / disable pop access
Just for future reference for others. I modified vmoduser.c. Basically you change the |= to ^=, of course this is not the desired behaviour, but perhaps it can help others. Ideally there are seperate flags (perhaps capitalized) that will turn the respective flags on and off. If i've time i will look into this. Line 84 and Line 110 was: if ( GidFlag != 0 ) mypw-pw_gid |= GidFlag; Change to: if ( GidFlag != 0 ) mypw-pw_gid ^= GidFlag; the flags now flip. it will set if unset and unset if set. - Wouter - Original Message - From: Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Tuesday, April 22, 2008 1:55 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Enable / disable pop access On Apr 17, 2008, at 10:39 AM, Wouter van der Schagt wrote: Hi all, i have a question.

[vchkpw] SMTP Authenticaton
Dear all, I have a question. We have a mailserver that only accepts incoming SMTP connections from our anti-spam appliances. So far so good, this is done at the tcpserver level. So default is :deny. Our clients, however also need SMTP functionality so we've set up the same server with SMTP Authentication, however that wont work, since by default all connections other than those from the Barracuda are blocked. We experimented with pop before smtp, but those results are not satisfactory either. The reason we block by default is that sooner or later spammers connect to the server directly rendering the anti-spam appliances completely useless. (or at the very least ineffective) An option for us to setup a different server that only handles smtp functionality for our client, however the problem then is that a domain needs to exist on two servers. one for the popbox and one for smtp authentication to work. Or is it possible for the vpopmail to connect to the database on the other mailserver for authentication or would that be too slow? Does anybody have any other suggestions perhaps?

My apologies, you already mentioned it.. by firewall restriction. Another question.. spammers could still connect if they knew they were supposed to connect to port 587 am i correct?

RE: [vchkpw] vlimits question
Thanks for the reply, that's very useful, another question. We're currently managing around 7000 popboxes and most domains Are in /1 /2 /A directories. Is it possible to do a du -sm * On all and sort the output, or is there a similar command In vpopmail that sorts the actual size of the popboxes (the Size that's currently being used on the HD?).

Re: [vchkpw] How expensive is reloading the tcp.smtp.cdb?
I think his question was more on if reloading has any effect on running processes from qmail, rather than the reloading itself. Our mailserver is pretty busy and we reload it regularly without any problems. However we have less lines in the tcp.smtp file. - Original Message - From: Steve Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 12:27 AM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] How expensive is reloading the tcp.smtp.cdb? ISP Lists wrote: Related to my earlier post, how expensive is it - resource-wise - to reload a tcp.smtp file of 100-1000 lines? If it becomes expensive, you can use the SQL patch and do it with SQL. There's no hit at all to adding or removing items in that case (may be some with SQL, but I haven't had any performance issues, and after all, checkuser + vpopmail would both be using SQL in the first place).

[vchkpw] POP not working.. am at a loss
Good afternoon, I have the following problem I am runing Qmail + VPopmail On Debian Sarge with kernel 2.4.27 When I do "telnet localhost 110" I get a prompt, but when I enter a correct username / password combination, i get: USER username OK PASS password Connection closed by foreign host. When I enter a false combination, I get an error message. I have enabled verbose logging in vpopmail and get all authentication attempts and can see they are succesful, so im assuming vpopmail is doing its job. When I look at my /service/qmail-pop3d/run script: #!/bin/shexec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 400 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \ `hostname` /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 21 I'm guessing something is not passed correctly from vchkpw to qmail-pop3d but i have no idea what. The output of "netstat -ap | grep pop3" is: tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 5455/tcpserver which is, i think as it should be.

I added a 0, making it 40mb for a softlimit, unfortunately it didn't make a difference. Removing it completely also didnt make a difference.

Re: [vchkpw] Re: POP not working.. am at a loss
The problems was a compiled qmail-pop3d+vpopmail.c.diff patch I found it by comparing the strace output of the test server and the production server and noticing a systemcall to getpid which wasn't happening on the production server. I grepped for it in the sources of qmail and noticed a patch was applied. I reversed the patch (in this case for pop3 traffic logging) and recompiled. This time, everything is working as it should. Thanks to all that helped isolating this problem - Steven
