[vchkpw] Question about courier-auth changes
Please, before anyone simply responds with switch to dovecot, I have reasons to stick with courier at this time despite the performance gains that I might receive from switching to dovecot. I have a setup which uses the shared folder setup on courier and I don't believe the shared folder support in dovecot is mature enough for our needs based on the documentation. That being said, is anyone using or has used the authmysql module for courier-auth to authenticate against the vpopmail data. Obviously, we have vpopmail storing its data in MySql already or we wouldn't be trying this. It seems possible and with some custom programing it looks like we could get all the disable flags passed correctly to courier. Just wondering if anyone had any experience, positive or negative, and if anyone knew of any other issues that might arise by going this route. Any features that are being used in the authvchkpw module that I would need to replicate somehow? Is this a plausible alternative to waiting for someone to maybe pickup the continued development of the authvchkpw module? Any insight would be helpful, and again, I am aware the dovecot may be a better option, but at this time I am not able to consider that as an option. Thanks Brian !DSPAM:4877abdb32352129814570!
[vchkpw] Question about --without-users-big-dir
Hi folks, I'm considering re-compiling vpopmail with the --without-users-big-dir option. My understanding is this will 1) stop the directory hashing of usernames in the ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/ directories 2) enable single character e-mail usernames First, is my understanding of those two things correct? Second, does it do anything besides those two things I should know about? And finally, will this adversely affect any existing domains that already have directory hashing of usernames in place now? Thanks in advance, Paul -- Paul Oehler
[vchkpw] question about qmail-tap
as you might guess from my previous message, i'm installing qmail-tap for the first time. something that's not entirely clear is whether qmail-tap is 'self filtering' in the following sense. if i set up a taps file like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] will qmail-tap know to not tap the tapaccount? otherwise, i suspect it could create a pretty nasty loop. i'd like to be able to offer this as a 'value added' option for customers, where they can set up an address to receive copies of their own domain's messages - but not have to ship it to a different domain or server. make sense?

[vchkpw] Question about Dir Control (.dir-control)
First, is there a way to disable the Dir Control functionality of vpopmail? If not, is there any downside to just not using it? You may ask why I need to do this. We do our own hashing of directories and usernames here, using our own script systems. I like this because the paths that we are creating are predictable since we are determining them instead of dir control/vadduser.

Ken, Thanks for answering. I did see that disable-users-big-dir option, so I configured with it. It seems to still do the following though: 1. create .dir-control in the domains directory. 2. complain when removing a domain that it can't delete the dir control. [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ./vadddomain test.com testcom [EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]$ ./vdeldomain test.com Warning: Failed to delete dir_control for test.com Even though /home/cust/vpopmail/domains/test.com is gone, there is a .dir-control file in /home/cust/vpopmail/domains. I manually deleted this file, but every time I add a new domain it creates this file again. Not sure why ./vdeldomain would be complaining when there wasnt a .dir-control in the first place associated with the domain I was deleting. Any ideas?

So you can fake it out by deleteing the .dir-control every time. Also looks like we need to fix that warning message.

[vchkpw] Question about MAX_PW_DOMAIN evaluation in vadddomain function.
Hello,
Earlier today we had a customer with a long domain name sign up for our
services (.com).
I used the following command and arguments to add the domain to vpopmail.
vadddomain -q10M -b .com.
When adding them using the vpopmail tool vadddomain command I received the
following error Error: dir too long.
We are currently using vpopmail version 5.3.30, and the source code for this
version is the basis for my real question.
When reading the source code I found that within vpopmail.c this error is
generated when the vadddomain function evaluates dir, DOMAINS_DIR, and
DomainSubDir as greater then or equal to MAX_PW_DOMAIN. Which is defined by
default as 64 in vpopmail.h.
if (strlen(dir)+strlen(DOMAINS_DIR)+strlen(DomainSubDir) = MAX_PW_DOMAIN) {
/* back out of changes made so far */
dec_dir_control(dir_control_for_uid, uid, gid);
chdir(calling_dir);
return(VA_DIR_TOO_LONG);
}
Should this not be evaluated against say the MAX_PW_DIR definition? I am not
very familiar with the insides of vpopmail, so I am more or less just
interested in if I should do one of two things.
1) Increase the size of MAX_PW_DOMAIN beyond 64.
2) Change the evaluation in vadddomain() to use MAX_PW_DIR instead of
MAX_PW_DOMAIN.
Or has this been changed fixed in newer versions of vpopmail?
Take care, and thank you in advance for taking the time to respond to my
inquiry.

Andrea, Yes that is what I meant.

RE: [vchkpw] Question about roaming
Andrea, Running every minute or clearing the rules every 15 is probably a little paranoid. You might want to look into SMTP AUTH so that you don't have to worry about opening a relay. I set my open relay to 1 day due to people not checking their email often enough to keep the relay open when they are sending. If your going to keep the same setup you only need to run clearopensmtp every 15 minutes or so. I don't think you will see any problem running it every 15 minutes.

[vchkpw] Question about qmailadmin 1.0.29 --enable-spam-command
The --enable-spam-command support in qmailadmin 1.0.29 puts the maildrop line at the end of the .qmail file after all forwards and autoresponders. I'm just asking because I don't know, but wouldn't it make more sense to have the spam line /first/ so any emails suspected as being spam can be disgarded before any forwards or autoresponders get invoked? The reason I ask is I'm putting together a custom challenge/response spam system that puts the suspected spam messages in a Maildir (instead of an invisible waiting queue) and bases it's whitelist on a squirrelmail addresbook. In this scenario, I want the spam challenge processing to happen first before any forwards or autoresponders. - DTLink Software http://www.dtlink.com FieldPost Business Email http://www.fieldpost.com Nuts and Bolts Interactive, Inc. http://www.nbinteractive.com -
Re: [vchkpw] Question about .qmail exit codes.
If a program invoked from a .qmail file returns an exit status of 99 (per qmail-command man page) shouldn't it just stop processing the qmail file? It seems to be deferring the message and trying to redeliver it later. I just checked the ChangeLog, and that was fixed in 5.3.9. You might want to look at 5.3.30 as a replacement for 5.3.8. The next release will probably be 5.4.0-pre1, and currently only includes documentation and build changes from 5.3.30. vpopmail-5.2.2 also includes that fix Michael.
[vchkpw] Question about .qmail exit codes.
I am running the Qmail Toaster as available from www.qmailtoaster.com. (vpopmail-toaster-5.3.8). There's something about the behavior of the .qmail files in the individual vpopmail account directories that I don't understand. If a program invoked from a .qmail file returns an exit status of 99 (per qmail-command man page) shouldn't it just stop processing the qmail file? It seems to be deferring the message and trying to redeliver it later. I have a test domain vpopmail.yml.com and a user test. The account directory I have is: /home/vpopmail/domains/vpopmail.yml.com/test/ In it I have a .qmail file containing, for demonstration: |/tmp/test.pl /home/vpopmail/domains/vpopmail.yml.com/test/Maildir/ test.pl contains: #!/usr/bin/perl print This is a test; exit( 99 ); What I am noticing is that the message is being deferred and dropped into the queue: @40003fc81ac413506794 info msg 1491341: bytes 955 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] qp 6929 uid 89 @40003fc81ac416462fc4 starting delivery 2560: msg 1491341 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @40003fc81ac4164656d4 status: local 1/10 remote 0/255 @40003fc81ac4171b1b94 delivery 2560: deferral: This_is_a_test @40003fc81ac4171c020c status: local 0/10 remote 0/255 This doesn't seem right.

I am not that familiar with vpopmail yet so correct me if I'm wrong but it's vdelivermail called from the domains/domain/.qmail-default file that actually processes the per-account .qmail files? Right? Looking at run_command() in vqmaillocal.c it does not seem that the exit code of the launched process is being examined .. if a line it found it looks like it's exiting with a value of 0.

[vchkpw] Question about mailbox formats...
HI all, quick question, i've created some email accounts under a domain using qmailadmin, and i'm not going to be changing mailbox formats cause i'm a retard and forgot to install pop service using qmail-pop3d, i must change it to maildir...now do i have to delete those accounts and remake them or will the new new email just get put into maildir? and everything will work great ( i hope ) Cheers, Gary

[vchkpw] question about exit code of vdelivermail
Hi everybody, I´ve got a question concerning the internal strucutre of vpopmail. I´ve set up a qmail system together with vpopmail ( qmail 1.03 vpopmail 5.2 ). I´m testing with two different domains and everything is working fine for me. What I now wanted to do is set up some kind of simple anti-spam tool to avoid the huge amount of spam in some Maildirs. I tried to get a php script to work ( php script called from a .qmail file ) that sould analyse the mail and in case of spam it should copy it to some destination and then the script should return a exit code to tell the delivery process to stop delivering the message. What I´m not shure is which program does the delivery in this case. The .qmail file ( created with qmailadmin ) resides inside the vpopmail structure of the virtual domain and looks like |/path-to-phpscript/phpscript.php /path/to-vpopmail/domains/virtualdomain1/adress/Maildir/new/ but everytime I send a mail to that adress, the php script tells me that it is spam, it copies it to the sepcial destionation ( so the script works fine to me ) BUT the mail delivery process is not stopped, the mail gets into the Maildir asif my script did not return an exit code. I´ve tried it with return code 99 100 ( according to the .qmail-command manpages and some notes I found on the return codes of vdelivermail ) but nothing happened. So my question is, have I missed something? Which value should my returncode have, the one qmail is expecting or the one vdelivermail is expecting? And why does nothing happen to that delivery process? Thank you for your help! Thomas
Re: [vchkpw] question about exit code of vdelivermail
I´ve found the solution myself ... in the ChangeLog it sais that with version 5.2.1 EXITCODE checking for vdelivermail has been put in and I´m currently using 5.2 :( So forget about my question, please give me an answer for this one: Is it save to upgrade from 5.2 to 5.2.1 on an running system? Is there anything I should be aware of or is it just backuping the /bin/ directory and just making the ./configure make make-install ?

After looking further at the code, it appears that it may be acting properly if it were only to be used as a standalone autoresponder. However, qmailadmin also uses this for its 'vacation replies' and I would assume that people wouldn't want their mailing list messages bouncing (which then causes them to possibly get removed from the list) when they're on vacation, or a whole plethora of other situations where the autoresponder is acting improperly. So, there's the dilemma, it appears that one package is trying to have two different purposes in life, and those two purposes conflict with each other. For the sake of vacation replies (since I'm sure those are used far more than Mail robots) I'm going to release a new version with changes to the exit codes, but also place a bug report with qmailadmin about this activity. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen Systems Administrator .

[vchkpw] question about autoresponder change
This is more of an opinion question than a request for help.
I received a call from a client that was having problems with ezmlm and
autoresponder. autoresponder would bounce messages from his ezmlm list
and eventually ezmlm would remove him from the list (this is after
setting up the autoresponder/vacation reply in qmailadmin).
autoresponder was reporting this in the log, and not delivering the
message from the ezmlm list, as well as eventually causing him to be
removed from the mailing list.
AUTORESPOND: I can't handle a message with a Mailing-List header.
Upon further investigation I saw that autoresponder, when coming across
a Mailing-List header, would exit 100, causing qmail-local/vdelivermail
to bounce the message.
Am I wrong to think that autoresponder should silently ignore messages
with Mailing-List headers and exit 0 so the rest of the .qmail file can
be processed as usual? It should not reply to messages from a mailing
list (we've all seen what kind of annoyance that creates) but it
shouldn't prevent them from being delivered.
I have attached a patch that addresses this issue.
Thanks in advance for the input.

faq item 34 discusses getting courier-imap to use vpopmail's roaming users functionality. i just noticed in the changelog for courier-imap, it states: 2001-02-08 Chris Seawood [EMAIL PROTECTED] * authlib: Added check for open_smtp_relay in -lvpopmail so, does that mean that faq item 34 is obsolete?

Re: [vchkpw] question re faq
As far as I know, roaming users doesn't work with the courier-imap authlib, at least with authdaemond. I've patched my version and when I get cycles planned on submitting a patch to Mr. Sam to allow authdaemond to have it work. The problem is that vpopmail relies on environment variables that are set in the couriertcpd and aren't passed to the daemon. I've patched my version and have had it working for over a month now. Eliminating all those fork/exec's have reduced CPU dramatically (as well as my patch to vpopmail vipmap API to only fork/exec tcprules if a new IP is added to the table). I used to be at 99% CPU, now I'm at 98% idle...

[vchkpw] Question for qmailadmin off topic :( Sorry
Hi guys I have a question if you do not mind my asking guys. I have installed qmailadmin vanilla and it get errors permission errors when I try to create a user. So I have installed the 1.0.6 and then upgrade to 1.09 and works fine however, I cannot get the field for quota to show. Do you have any suggestions? I know this is not the right mailing list but any help would be appreciated. REMO
[vchkpw] Question about the vpasswd command
Is there a switch I could give vpasswd where I could do a massive amount of password changes without regenerating the cdb each time? Kind of like the -s (or -S, I've forgotten) switch in vadduser. If not, how would I hack at vpasswd.c to make this happen? I know enough C where if someone shows me a patch or tells me what to change I can do it. :) Thanks in advance. Chris Kalin
[vchkpw] Question about vpopmail and shared folders
I am using vpopmail with courier-imap as my mail solution and I love it so far. I've got a small question about shared folders. When creating a shared mail folder under a shared mailbox directory structure, you use the -s mode flag to specify permission to the folder. How can this work with virtual domains? I don't see a way of specifying specific permissions and only doing global read/write access to the folder. Taylor Dondich
[vchkpw] question about directory permissions
Hi all, Got what may be a silly question, but I have read the doccos etc, and havent found a specific answer to this one. The file permissions on the ~vpopmail directory structure all map out to basically only the user vpopmail can access it (well and root of course), now, to do some things involving getmail and maildrop I need to be able to write to those directory structures without being able to set the process owner as vpopmail, although I CAN set group to vchkpw - actually need to write various files to the virtual users directories, but same sort of deal, if the group cant list, it cant find...:). I was wondering what the effect would be on vpopmail operations if list rights were granted to the group (vchkpw) only to the domain tree, so that an external proecss can get to some of the specific files inside the users Maildir directory structures? (I dont want to just do this and perhaps break a running server, so I thought I would ask first) Thanks for the time Regards David Cook
