I thought this used to work back in the days when we used CDB, but
does it still work today (using SQL at least?)
on my production it still generates a new bounce, as it does on my
test server...

Hi!
well my current solution is to check all mailboxes with a perl script
and
add those email addresses to be removed from validrcptto.txt file...
then
rebuild validrcptto.cdb... and mail won't be accepted for them... but
this
is a permanent failure error.. should be better to be specified a 450 at
smtp time for example as error code...
have a nice day!
Antonio's Chkusr works perfect maybe you could look at implementing it :)
will save a lot of hassle
yes but it breaks auth... or unless some month ago

[vchkpw] Qmail rejection of overquota messages instead of bouncing
Hi mates! I'm using John Simpsons last combined patch... I'm trying to know if I could any way... cause qmail to reject messages at smtp dialogue if users we're trying to deliver is overquota instead of bouncing it... black lists are nowadays becoming quite crazy IMHO but they're know blacklisting this servers who bounce overquota... well infact now all servers that bounce directly... it would be a nice idea to reject messages for overquoted mailboxes... I have think doing an script that inserts and recreates validrcptto.cdb this way no mail will enter from outside... but authenticated users are able to bypass validrcptto... so will always be able to get that bounce... anyway IMHO this is not the most worring thing... the problem is mainly with outside servers and users... (not mine users...) as a little idea... does qmail-local do anything in wich I could enter a bash script any place wich does a remove the mail address from validrcptto.txt and latter rebuild validrcptto.cbd file for not accepting mail for overquota users? don't know exactly how to manage for this... any ideas?? !DSPAM:475bef3d32008762613590!

Re: [vchkpw] Two qmails in same machine
OK then so I could have a box in wich I do... take qmail sources and patch them with johns (great and nice) patch... make setup check and ./config-fast fqdn after this after this change /var/qmail for /var/qmail-scanning-server in conf-local... and again ./config-fast fqdn after this setup proper supervise scripts and I could share between two qmails vpopmail (and his ddbb), tcp.smtp.cdb file and all and only have to be careful that when I add a domain with vpopmail or anything else to rsync files modified by vpopmail in users for Internet qmail... and in internet qmail to have smtproutes file throwing all mail passed rcpt to check (that will be of course on Internet server) to localhost listening qmail server that scans mail... then this is all? am I wrong? and that's it??¿ there's no any known reason because this could crash... I mean there's no specification by John Simpson or Dan Bernstein that this shouldn't done then? Thanks a lot thruthly P.D. If this works great I'll share with you it, make some howto, or scripts for syncing qmail control directories or... :) So I have think that I could compile qmail one time and copy to two different locations for example /var/qmail and /var/qmail-scanning-server... is this possible? and is this possible without having two different vpopmails? two different databases for smtp auth... (Internet qmail scanner will be relay too) two differents tcp rules file... so could I share everything between them? What do you think about this idea have just had? You cannot compile qmail one time and install in two locations. You need to change conf-qmail for the second installation. After make setup check of the first install, do 'echo /var/qmail-scanning-server conf-qmail; make setup check' Nor do you need two different vpopmails. They can share the same databases...the problem really is keeping the configuration files in sync or just symlink /var/qmail-scanning-server/users/assign to /var/qmail/users/assign and other files that vpopmail touches. !DSPAM:473428ac32007128935933!

Hi, If I had a server hardware failure... and my hardware breaks... so I need to set up a new one qmail server... what should I have backed up in my actual qmail server and how could I recover all data? I mean... I suppose I should compile, install and use the same vpopmail and qmail version. I suppose too I should have a backup of the mysql vpopmail database, /var/qmail directory and /home/vpopmail directory too, is enough having only this backed up? and later... I suppose I should overwrite /home/vpopmail and /var/qmail fully with my backed up version? but this couldn't cause later problems with courier-imap compiled binaries? because they're compiled with just have installed vpopmail libraries and not with backed ones? Thanks a lot mates Hope I have explained :)
Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail mysql and aborted clients

I'm gonna check the two solutions... the wait_timeout increasing and the vmysql.patch...

I have never had to restart courier-imap package (wich I use for pop and imap services) and seems to be running ok... so this is normal then? and I shouldn't change nothing then? or is it advisable to increase mysql timeout?? or I could stay as I'm now? I would suggest setting the mysql timeout to about twice the longest interval between pop/imap logins. 4 or 5 days is probably good.

Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail mysql and aborted clients
So then no matter for worrying about this? This can't break the database or... don't know cause any type of problem... or should I do any conf in authdaemon for this to be avoided? or is this normal and nothing happens with it? Thanks a lot!!! As told in other messages, the way of playing is different. Each vpopmail/qmail program usually executes brieftly and opens and closes MySQL, so there are no abnormal exits. When courier plays (both imap and pop), it asks auth data to courier's auth daemon. When this daemon is started, it opens MySQL and never closes it, as it supposes to reuse continuosly the same opened connection. But if none is going to use the connection for eigth hours, MySQL itself closes the connection. This will be opened again automatically by vpopmail library in courier's daemon, but you see an error in MySQL stats. Hope I've been clear.

Courier uses it's authentication daemon with persistent attach to vpopmail/MySQL, it could be that during the night there are no requests, so MySQL connections are droppped (by MySQL). I thought this was addressed in a recent version of vpopmail? Yes, but you see in the logs that some connections have been dropped. Tonino Yep but wait a minute! if you have a machine in wich you only run qmail for mail scanning or smtp relay, or even with qmail-pop3d you don't get those aborted clients... but if you run there pop and imap with couier, so the problem occurs when you use courier... if you don't use it... you don't see any error... and both use vpopmail equally aren't they (courier and qmail) ? if you have for example qmail-smtpd with smtp auth only and of course vpopmail you will never have that errors... and you go to ask to courier and they say is a vpopmail question... but vpopmail works fine with qmail-smtpd!!! this was an important detail I forgot to tell yesterday... could this give you any more clue???

Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail mysql and aborted clients
thanks a lot mates for you're answers, and in where logs could you see connections have been droped?? you doing an overview for all answers some mysql versions have timeout for it's persistent connections (connections as vpopmail connections) and this causes connection not to close properly and the aborted client... so then is a mysql issue?? could this cause problems?

[vchkpw] Vpopmail and courier
Hi all, I wanted to know if vpopmail auth module in courier-imap is a stable project now... some people have told me you can have problems on loaded servers with this... and to use qmail pop but anyway you should use it as imap server... and this (using it as pop too) don't have to patch more things on my qmail sources (you know for qmail pop quota support, so Maildir++). So definitely I'm nowadays running vpopmail 5.4.13 and courier-imap 4.0.2 and courier-authlib-0.55 this two last with of course authvchkpw module... so is this then stable? Thanks a lot Have a nice day

I suppose because the damn chkuser patch works or without smtp auth patch or with this patch but authenticating with cdb files thanks a lot you too!
