Are you sure you do not have --enable-qmail-ext configured?

[vchkpw] valias problem

[Igor Smitran]

I am using vpopmail 5.4.32.
Few days ago i have noticed an error in valias.
If vpopmail is configured with --enable-valias then it doesn't do 
aliases right.


For example:
i...@domain.tld is an alias, there is no maildir for that account, and 
it is forwarded to someu...@domain.tld

info-someth...@domain.tld is a real account with maildir.

if vpopmail is configured to keep valias data in database then all 
emails sent to i...@domain.tld will be forwarded to someu...@domain.tld, 
but all emails to info-someth...@domain.tld will be forwarded to 
someu...@domain.tld too!


If vpopmail is configured to use .qmail files everything works as 
expected, no errors.

[vchkpw] valias and mysql

[Bob Hutchinson]

I have recently upgraded vpopmail from vpopmail-5.4.18 to vpopmail-5.4.27 and 
have configured it to use mysql. I am running a stock shupp toaster.
vconvert converted the popboxes just fine, but the .qmail-xxx aliases have 
remained where they are and work OK. Qmailadmin was recompiled afterwards and 
now cannot see the .qmail files.
Is there a utility to convert the .qmail files and what happens to the more 
complex ones, or should I just recompile vpopmail without --enable-valias?
Any suggestions welcome ;-)

Hello,

1 - I may misunderstand, but when you create an alias, the alias domain 
must be hosted by your MX server. The destination domain can be anyone else.


2 - Never tried ^^

3 - I don't understand this point.

4 - Vpopmail is writing a .qmail-alias in the directory of the real 
mailbox (ie .qmail-norep in the postmaster directory) which contain the 
destination address as this : &u...@domain.com


Hope this help you

The --disable-qmail-ext option cures the problem or course.

Use vpopmail's valias program.
Or, create it directly in the table.  Note that domain name shouldn't 
include '@', and the alias line needs to start with "|" if it's a 
program delivery.

hi all

 

i use mysql +vpopmail.

i have valias table and it works.

 

in qmail i have an alias file like this

# cat .qmail-listname

|/home/sympa/bin/queue listname@mynetgrup.com

 

so how can i create an alias in valias table for this type .qmail
alias?

 

is it possible to create a row like this : 

 

listname - @group.com - /home/sympa/queue [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 

i tried it but it didn't work. is there anyway to do this?

 

thanks

[vchkpw] valias questions....

[shadowplay.net]

issue two...

the system does not forward mail to 
multiple recipients of
an alias listed in the valias table... 

eg... 
table data of ... 

somealias domain.com./Maildir
somealias   domain.com  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
somealias domain.com[EMAIL PROTECTED]

most notably it never arrives in the ./Maildir
no errors are reported

this is the equivelent of a multi line 
.qmail-somealias file 

with the contents of ... 
./Maildir
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

how would one go about adding a valias record that 
accomidates delivery to the popaccount
and forwarding to other acounts

qmail-local,

I can't believe I actually wrote that.
vdelivermail is most definitely involved in catchall delivery.
I guess what I was trying to say was that adding a valias for user 
'default' won't work.  The catchall user must be specified as the 
second parameter to vdelivermail in the .qmail-default file.

Maybe I'm not understanding or I didn't make myself clear. If I understand 
correctly, qmail will look in the users home directory for a .qmail file 
matching the address it would normally find nothing so uses the 
.qmail-default file. This then runs vdelivermail which checks for a virtual 
user to deliver the mail to. This could either be a vpopmail Mailbox or a 
valias address in the valias table (I'm using MySQL). In what order are these 
checked? If vdelivermail finds nothing qmail will then look at what comes 
next in the .qmail-default file and in this case bounce the mail. I know I 
can add an address to the .qmail-default file to act as a catch all but it 
would be easier to add a catch all to the valias table and have vdelivermail 
deal with it like any other valias. Is this possible? I've tried "default", " 
",  "*" and nothing works.
Forget qmail.  It has nothing to do with catchall account handling. 
Catchall status is a parameter to the vdelivermail program commonly 
called in the file .qmail-default.  Its legal values are:

   delete
   bounce-no-mailbox
   /path/to/a/Maildir
   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
.qmail-default
-
!/path/to/vdelivermail '' CATCHALL_OPTION
-
There is no wildcard support in valias.

*Doh* ..  :)

My biggest concern is how to continue to deliver the spam tagged mail to
the spam mailbox.. can this be done with xfilter or is there some
parameter I can send to vdelivermail to do this?

[vchkpw] valias problem with .qmail-default files

[Jason 'XenoPhage' Frisvold]

Hi all,

I seem to be having a problem with aliases and vpopmail.  I'm running
vpopmail 5.4.1 and using the email-toaster as defined by Bill Shupp
(www.shupp.org/toaster)

The situation is this...  As a default install, vpopmail aliases seem
to work ok.  However, I wanted to be able to automatically move any spam
mail, tagged as spam by spamassassin, into a spam folder.  So, I
modified the .qmail-default file in the domains/mydomain.com folder to
this :

#| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
| /usr/bin/maildrop /home/vpopmail/domains/mailfilter

The first line is set that way to that chkusr works.  The second line
sends the mail to a maildrop filter.  That filter looks like this :

VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox"
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
 
if (/^X-Spam-Status: *YES/)
{
# try delivering it to a Spam folder
exception {
# Check for an existing Spam folder, create one if it
does not exist
`if [ ! -d "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/" ]; \
then \
   /usr/bin/maildirmake -f Spam $VHOME/Maildir; \
fi`
# Deliver the message to the Spam folder
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/"
}
# ah well, I guess they'll just have to live with disappointment
exception {
to "$VPOP"
}
}
else
{
exception {
to "$VPOP"
}
}


It appears that any aliases are just being ignored when I have the
qmail-default file set this way.  If I go into the domain with the
aliases, and switch the qmail default so that it sends the mail to
vdelivermail as opposed to maildrop, it works fine!  (even if the mail

  In either case (success or failure), I get the following in my
qmail log :

delivery 2376: success: vdelivermail:_valiases_processed/did_0+0+1/

Does anyone know how to fix this?  Placing the mail into a spam folder
is extremely important for us and I cannot lose that functionality!  Any
help would be greatly appreciated!  If you need me to provide more
information, please let me know!

Thanks!

[vchkpw] valias support for qmailadmin (was qmailadmin 1.2.0 and mysql problem)

[Tom Collins]

You are correct that the release version of QmailAdmin 1.2.0 did not 
properly support valiases in MySQL.

The good news is that I have working code going into QmailAdmin 1.2.1 
which completely supports it.  ACIS Pty Ltd in Australia sponsored 
development of the code, and have been using it for about 2-3 weeks.  
Since QmailAdmin was in "release candidate" status, I couldn't add the 
changes to that release.

I'll try to get it pushed into CVS soon, and make a pre-release of 
1.2.1 available in the next few days.

I also wrote a program for vpopmail called "dotqmail2valias" that will 
convert .qmail-alias style aliases to valias table entries.  That will 
be going into 5.4.1 (but I need to get 5.4.0 out first).

Qmailadmin isn't compatible with valias code in vpopmail at this time.  
It still uses .qmail-user files in the domain directory for aliases and 
forwards.

In addition to switching to valiases in qmailadmin, there probably 
needs to be a tool to convert the old-style aliases over to valiases.

That was a bug fixed in 5.3.28 (see bug tracker 807935).  There were 
many other bug fixes as well, so you might want to upgrade to it.

You could also just download valias.c from the cvs repository to 
replace your current version, then recompile and reinstall it.

It looks like you are calling the maildrop script from the 
.qmail-default file in the domain, is that correct?

Another solution is to call maildrop from each user's .qmail file.  That 
way, you can avoid having to deal with aliases and the catchall 
altogether.  If you've seen my maildrop filter floating around, I avoid 
using the $EXT variable, instead I break apart the path -- since the 
.qmail file is contained in the .../vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user 
folder, you can get the $EXT and $HOST from the path instead of relying 
on those variables.

Is there a reason you are not calling maildrop from each user's .qmail file?

Cheers, most appreciated :).

I am still wondering about the catchall stuff though. If I can check
valias as well then I could use something like:

VPOP="| ~vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox"
VHOME=`~vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if ($RETURNCODE != 0) {
VALIAS=`~vpopmail/bin/valias -s [EMAIL PROTECTED]
if ($RETURNCODE != 0) {
VDOMHOME=`~vpopmail/bin/vdominfo -d $HOST`
exception {
# this .catchall file could have the line 
# to "! "
include "$VDOMHOME/.catchall"
}
# if the .catchall file didn't exist then bounce with
# vdelivermail so msg includes bounce details
to "$VPOP"
}
}

I'll have a play around and try to get this working tomorrow.

This does seem odd to me though.., none of the maildrop scripts I have
seen seem to deal with aliases!

Thanks,

Jonathan

[vchkpw] Valias and maildrop/vdelivermail, and valias bug?

[Jonathan Viney]

Hi,

I have been pondering this problem for a few days now and can't seem to
find a solution. I am trying to implement per user spam/virus prefs
using maildrop as the delivery agent. It is all working apart from two
problems, aliases ad catchall.

Maildrop script (partial):

VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox"
# Get home directory to deliver to
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]

# If it wasn't a valid user, deliver again with vdelivermail 
# in case it is an alias
if ($RETURNCODE != 0)
{
to "$VPOP"
}

The problem is that if I put 'to "! "' in the if statement it
will bounce for aliases (because vuserinfo doesn't check if the email is
an alias). I could run valias -s  but the valias exit code is
always 0 even if it is an invalid alias.

So, does anyone know how to make catchalls and aliases work nicely with
maildrop?

Also, I think I found a bug in valias (w/ MySQL). If I run the following
commands this is what I get:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -s cat.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -i [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED]

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Error: alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] already exists.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/valias -s cat.net
[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> [EMAIL PROTECTED]

valias won't let me add any more than 1 alias to the domain or so it
seems. The valias table shows:

mysql> select * from valias;
+---+-++
| alias | domain  | valias_line|
+---+-++
| dog   | cat.net | [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
+---+-++


Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Cheers,
Jonathan

Yes you are right, however adding the Maildir in the path still 
produces the same result. Its certainly not a big issue as it
works with an email address.

[vchkpw] valias + mysql

[Shane Chrisp]

Hi,

I have been trying to get valias to work with mysql and I have found that if
you forward to
an email address ie: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the valias table it works fine, but if
you try to deliver
to a directory in the form of /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/user/ I get
a 
Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0). I have tried this on versions 5.3.20 .21 and
.23. I will work
around this by using the [EMAIL PROTECTED] format, but if anyone has any idea's I
would love to 
hear them.

As a side note, im now running 5.3.23 and it seems to be working well.

[vchkpw] valias and vuserinfo

[Remo Mattei]

Hello guys I am looking to get information for aliases what command do I
need to get it going, I have a script that will check if a user exist if it
doesn't then it will forward to another box but if it does then it will
deliver the mail locally. Therefore, I uses vuserinfo but I am not sure how
would I check that with aliases. Thanks for any suggestions.

[vchkpw] valias bugs w/patch

[Ole Gjerde]

Hi everybody,

I found that there are a couple of serious logic errors in the
valias/vdelivermail code.  In 3 seperate places the return code from
deliver_mail is not checked.  That means that if a valias is local and
can't be delivered, the mail will go into the ether.  Bad stuff.

Patch is attached. Where the return value is currently checked, a
vexit(100) is used.  I use vexit(111) instead, since in my opinion those
are temporary errors and the email shouldn't actually bounce.  Also, I
think MOST of the vexits in vdelivermail.c should be defers.  The only
time it should bounce would be when there is no configured recipient.
Any system error, looping, etc should defer it so when the sysadmin
fixes it the email gets delivered. Other opinions may differ, but that's
mine :)

[vchkpw] valias usage?

[Dave Richardson - Lists]

I'm on vpopmail 5.2.1 with mysql and valias enabled.
I *thought* that valias would allow incoming mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" 
to be delivered to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" on the local vpopmail system. 
Documentation is a little sparse on this product.

Am I correct in what valias does?
If Yes, how do I implement the exmaple alias above?

[vchkpw] valias-wildcard fix

[Bill Shupp]

I think I have a fix for valias wildcard processing (i.e.  
listname-default) in vdelivermail.  Can people that use valias help 
test?

http://shupp.org/patches/wildcard.diff

This patch was done against vpopmail 5.3.8, but might work on earlier 
versions.

NOTE:  This does NOT add wildcard support to the ext feature.  Please 
test with --enable-ext=n.

[vchkpw] valias and maildrop question

[John C]

I am trying to add a line into the valias table which calls maildrop.

When I add a user with underscores(_) in their name to the table, the
maildrop script is not run.
If I add a user with only letters and/or numbers in their username,
everything works fine.

Any ideas why?  Is there a limitation to valias here?

By they way, dot qmail files with an underscore and this particular maildrop
setup work.  When moved to the database it ceases to work.


Here is an example:


mysql> select * from valias;
+--+-+--
---+
| alias| domain  | valias_line
|
+--+-+--
---+
| teddy_tester | knology.net | | /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/bin/maildrop
