Re: [vchkpw] Qmail-vpopmail and delivery confermation
I've never had any issues with them personally (aside from not liking the concept) but as far as I know neither vpopmail nor qmail have anything to do with delivery confirmation. It's a MUA to MUA thing and the recipient can decide if he wants to confirm he read the message. Your client just needs to check the confirm delivery box in outlook.

Re: [vchkpw] Qmail, vpopmail etc. migration: from Fedora Core 1 to CentOs
Sorry, hit wrong button... No for the software side, depending on how you have your mail setup, courier or pop3 depends on the mail itself. If it's pop3 you can move it just fine, as long as you setup vpopmail the same as before. If your using courier, you can use a program like imapsync (sourceforge) and sync the mail from old server to new server fairly easly. I'm sure with more info, and more planning on your part you can get this done. Try to determine how your old server was setup, eg. vpopmail, using mysql or cdb for the domains for 1, roaming encryption etc...

Re: [vchkpw] Qmail, vpopmail etc. migration: from Fedora Core 1 to CentOs
You also need to backup mysql if you use it :) and the assgin and virtual host in qmail otherwise you have to install all the domains with the same username and passwd and then copy over the users' info Ciao, Remo Ron Miller wrote: Mik, You want to install vpopmail as usual on the new machine.

Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail smtp-auth for roaming-users]
IMAP-before-SMTP is possible when using Courier-IMAP v3.x. However it only works when configured --with-authvchkpw --without-authdaemon. When running --without-authdaemon, Courier-IMAP's authvchkpw code is able to make use of vpopmail's roaming user functions to allow IMAP-before-SMTP functionality. IMAP-before-SMTP is not possible when Courier-IMAP has been complied --with-authdaemon, because in this mode the user's IP address is not made available to the authvchkpw code (via the TCPREMOTEIP env var). Also note that in Courier-IMAP v4.x and later, --without-authdaemon functionality is no longer available thus preventing IMAP-before-SMTP from working. Hope that helps!

Hi Micheal, Thanks for the reply. Indeed, I did use the --with-authvchkpw --without-authdaemon but it made no difference.

Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail smtp-auth for roaming-users]
Hi Joshua, Thanks for the reply. The majority of my users are using pop3 - however I have a handful of senior execs that need/want to use imap (this is tied to our webmail wapmail interfaces). This cutomer was an existing user of qmail/vpopmail/courier (installed in 2003) however we just recently went through a major upgrade. The old system worked quite well (with open-smtp) for both pop3 and imap users. It appears from Micheal Bowe's reply that courier-imap v4.xx no longer supports this (but apparentl;y 3.0.8 does) - so I guess I will need to try and install the older version of courier-imap - unless I can find a diif but easy solution.

(Hint: if you had some of those messages you recently deleted around, they would certainly help ;) The directory was /home/user/Maildir/new was full of thousands of messages in this format: 12345678999.16207.qmail ,S=14766 When I tried to go in the directory to read one of the messages, the computer would hang. That is why I decided to delete the directory.

Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail+chkuser problems
I did that, [EMAIL PROTECTED] and thats the error I get, I'm missing something cuz even removing the patch its not storing email somehow. Even tho the mx isn't setup, I do it locally, telnet localhost 25 (which has to my knowledge everything I need to do email) it accepts it, but I dont show it coming up in my new folder under home/vpopmailMaildir. I'm missing something somewhere, lol I may just end up removing everything and just starting anew. Migrating is such a pain most of the time. Its not like I have thousands accounts, its like 5 or 6 max. I haven't actually checked but its not alot. Perhaps I didn't do the mysql migration properly. But I do a select * from vpopmail and it lists all the accounts exactly the same as the primary. Idont get errors adding email accounts either so I'm at a lost. -doug At 06.08 11/09/2005, you wrote: Ok I did run the test like you said, I loged in as root stoped qmail and ran /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd manually and I still get the error 511 sorry, you must specify a domain (#5.1.1 - chkuser).

Postfix is a MODERN sendmail replacement. Qmail is not. You don't need to patch Postfix. Patches suck. :) (in re 'MODERN') I disagree. Despite the age of the original code base, qmail is still a modern and viable replacement for sendmail. However, it's not very featureful -- which is fine for replacing most versions of sendmail anyway. I believe that the majority of sendmail installations do not use STARTTLS or SMTP AUTH. (in re patches) Funny. I've never thought so. One thing I like about having to patch qmail is the ability to decide at compile-time what extensions I want to use. This allows me to limit the amount of unused code compiled into my MTA. (In the era of modern computing and the prevalence of CPU's well over 2GHz, this may not mean a lot. However, I run qmail on a 50MHz SparcStation LX and I'm a bit picky about what goes into it.) Having only ever compiled Postfix once (and many moons ago at that), I do not know if the same option is present there. But I'm wandering off topic for the vpopmail list. Ooh...

As Rainer said, it seems that postfix has more upfront, but it still seems that qmail can be patched very well. Currently, I'm running qmail+vpopmail+qmailadmin, qmail-scanner w/ClamAV, mailfilter invoking SpamAssassin for userbased SA. Qmails only holdback is the lack of development (but does a stable secure MTA need development?), patches add features as needed. But, its not like MTA requirements has changed over the years, it's the MDA, and that's easy to plug something else in its place. --joey

For a while there, it seemed like vpopmail development was grinding to a halt, but these days it seems to No, i don't think that the vpopmail development is on a halt, i think that it's the opposite: vpopmail dev was stopped on v5.2.x version when was developed only by inter7, since Tom Collins has joined (or better: maintaned) the development vpopmail has get a big sprint. I don't think that the problem is vpopmail, the problem is qmail: after 6 years since 1.03 version there's no modific to the original version, now you always need addictional feature like antivirus integration, more spam filters, a lot of other things... this lead to a patch-over-patch phenomenon that is an headace for the qmail administrator. So you need a toaster like netqmail-1.05 + bill shupp patches, but sometimes this is not enoght. On the other hand postfix is active developed even on the core. So i think that the problem of qmail is its license and it's author's ego. be picking back up again. Even QMail seems to be at least partially back under development with the Netqmail package. It's giving me hope for the platform that I've invested so much of my personal time into. For those of you who have had the opportunity to work with BOTH systems, which do you prefer and why? BTW, I currently run QMail + vpopmail friends + courier-imap + sqwebmail. Don't use sqwebmail, use squirrel. Regards. -- Davide Giunchi

Yes I agree I extensively used qmail/vpopmail at the ISP I used to own. However, I sold the business to a larger ISP last year, and now I work for them. They use postfix as their standard mail server. Since being exposed to this software I marvel at all the fabulous features compared with qmail. In particular the ease that you can perform a vast array of checks / filtering on incoming mail. The more I see of postfix, the more I understand just how out-of-date that qmail really is. But! whenever I demonstrate the vpopmail software to any of the guys at my new place of employment, they are the ones who are marvelling at the ease of use and features of vpopmail. The perfect world would be a vpopmail mailbox management combined with postfix MTA :-) Michael.

Indeed. Postfix _is_ nice (cyrus is debatable, IMO), but what use is a mailserver without any webinterface for customers to add/modify/delete their users? There are lots of bits and pieces around, but no complete package. Just compare what is available to postfix with qmail+patches^3+vpopmail+qmailadmin and see which one you want to start with. cheers, Rainer -- === ~ Rainer Duffner - [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ ~ Freising - Munich - Germany ~ ~Unix - Linux - BSD - OpenSource - Security ~ ~ http://www.ultra-secure.de/~rainer/pubkey.pgp ~ ===

By its meaning, 'deferred' means delayed, unable to chdir_to_maildir, maybe because the mail in my box does'nt reach directly to the user inbox, i.e., mail is handled by qmail-scanner, Clam AV and SpamAssassin and then to inbox.

Hi, I have just done a fresh install of qmail and vpopmail, on Mandrake 9.1, following Dave Sill, http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html for the qmail installation. qmail is running fine; i.e. all four daemons are running and inst_check reports that all is well. I also managed to install vpopmail and add domains and users. Booth messages injected locally (using qmail-inject) and incomming messages via smtp (from KMail on another machine) duely arrive in the appropriate Maildir/new. However, when I attempt to send to an extern email-address (from KMail) qmail responds with the error message: sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1.). OK, the messaage is from qmail, but I think it is related to vpopmail, as I also have qmail (without vpopmail) running on another PC, and on with that machine I have no problems sending to external addresses. I installed vpopmail as follows: ./configure --enable-file-sync=y --enable-roaming-users=y make make install-strip and put 10.0.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT 192.168.2.:allow,RELAYCLIENT into /etc/tcp.smtp and added 40 * * * * /home/vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp 21 /dev/null to crontab. The last response to [vchkpw] smtp;553 sorry, sorry, that domain isn't allowed relay (#5.7.1) i.e http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg14771.html suggest putting 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT into /etc/tcp.smtp I have also tried that, but it didn't make any difference. Booth the above response and the vpopmail install instructions mention /etc/tcp.smtp, but I can find anything about /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp What's the latter for? Any ideas what's wrong?

RE: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + maildrop + sqwebmail + qmailadmin + vqadmin
Not quite sure how your setup is.. but I finally got maildrop/vpopmail working for me by using a version of vpopmail that has the seekable patch and putting a .qmail file inside each user's directory who wants a spam filter. It has worked out beneficially for me because the spam filter can now be set on a per-user basis instead of a per-domain basis when I was doing it through .qmail-default. Quotas seem to work just fine with both maildrop 1.3.8 and 1.6.0, I haven't really noticed a difference. It supposedly ignores the MAILDIRQUOTA variable now and just reads the maildirquota file, but I haven't removed the MAILDIRQUOTA variable from my maildrop script either. Haven't seen a need for it, system is performing just fine and I doubt removing that line would make a very notiacable different. A thing to note about the .qmail method inside each user's directory is that vpopmail hands the message off to maildrop and maildrop then acts as the delivery agent in place of vpopmail. The other cool thing about having it on a per-user basis is that I don't need to worry about people clobbering their .qmail-default file with qmailadmin. Hope that helps some.. -Clayton -Original Message- From: Casey Zacek [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 8:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + maildrop + sqwebmail + qmailadmin + vqadmin It's been a long long time since I last looked at this stuff, but I really want/need to implement it. 1 - qmail - is simple. 2 - vpopmail + maildrop - this is where i am now (again). As I recall it, my problems went something like this: A. I had to mkdir courier when building maildrop to get it to read MAILDIRQUOTA from the environment. B. I had to write some shell scripts to wrap maildrop for the actual delivery, basically to take the place of vdelivermail. Right now, I'm not sure why, but I think it was in order to get quotas working properly; setting the MAILDIRQUOTA, HOME, and DEFAULT environment vars. In the end, they call maildrop -d vpopmail .mailfilter I had to patch vpopmail to use these scripts instead of vdelivermail. C. I had apparently patched vdominfo to add a -A flag to display domain aliases. D. I had apparently patched vpopmail to not allow one to delete a domain if there were aliases for it. Anyway, it's been a long time since I really looked at this stuff. The last version of vpopmail I looked at was 5.3.3, and the last version of maildrop I looked at was 1.3.8. I just looked at the changelog for maildrop up to 1.6.0, and I see that there was some work on the quota handling, so I might not need my shell scripts anymore. Basically, I'm looking for any pointers for getting vpopmail, maildrop, and sqwebmail working together nicely. I'll be using MySQL on the backend for vpopmail, and (of course?) Maildirs for storing the email. Thanks in advance.. -- Casey Zacek Senior Engineer NeoSpire, Inc.

lixiang, I'd encountered exactly the same problem(-ERR aack, child crashed) with vchkpw using LDAP as backend. I'd tried many different configurations and finally it seem like I can get around this problem. The solution is configure vpopmail with --enable-clear-passwd=n parameter. My configure statement looks like: ./configure --enable-ldap=y --enable-clear-passwd=n I have no idea how this fix the problem, but it's something with the authentication.

Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail+mysql+courier-imap+gentoo empty relaytable with roamingusers enabled
The main problem was gentoo does not install authvchpw in /usr/lib/courier-imap/authlib/ Once you manually install that file. Hacking up the init and conf scripts is a breeze. bob On Thu, 2003-02-27 at 09:57, bob ketterhagen wrote: After totally removing it and starting from scratch I was able to hack the init/conf scripts to work correctly.

Re: [vchkpw] Qmail+vpopmail+PostgreSQL
I've read some previous messages in the archive, regarding the possibility of using PostgreSQL as a vpopmail backend. I hate to admit it, I haven't understood a thing. Is the vpgsql module active by default ? There's no ./configure argument for that, as in MySQL's case. I really can't find my way through this. Would anyone be so kind to provide me with a little howto on this matter ? Thanks in advance. You may want to check your computer's date, it's not 1969. Postgres support is still experimental. I have been contributing a few patches in the last week or so on the latest development builds in order to enable it. Postgres support's been in there for a long long time, but it was never finished nor was it fully functional. I _think_ I have everything but logging done now. 5.3.18 has my code, but you need to hack the makefile to get it to work. 5.3.19 should have it enable-able from ./configure. Regards, Andrew

Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail+virus scanner
Hi Anonymous, please use a real name when posting. Thanks. Is there a way to use a filter on every user in a vpopmail-domain directory without putting the filter in every .qmail-user file ? Not on a per-domain basis. You can use server-wide scanners like qmail-scanner (http://qmail-scanner.sf.net/) to do so. Or maybe set vpopmail in a way so than it includes the filter when creating a domain or user. Would require a patch. I'm not aware of a patch that does what you want. Feel free to create one. :) Jonas
Re: [vchkpw] qmail vpopmail - more than one IP to listen to
google for an answer first. then check the qmail mailing list archives (where? google for an answer to that). then if you can't find an answer (it's been answered many times before), try asking on the qmail mailing list. this is the vpopmail mailing list. wrong place to ask.

RE: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + mysql + Redhat 8
Tom, I believe I figured out what was causing the problem. In the virtual domains file there was a hidden ^M at the end of the domain. When I removed the ^M, everything worked just fine.

Would it be possible for you to alter the assign file to also include an entry for kelnet.net_ but point to the same information as the other entry in the assign file? Then see if it works... (this would test the rest of the vpopmail installation as it sits.) I am pretty sure it will because of the stray _ in there. I have to wonder where that is coming from. Seems like it might be a bug with the gcc compiler or the glibc itself... as I have heard there are some issues with that gcc compiler... I am not really sure... As I understand the process qmail-smtpd receives the mail and then hands it over to vckpw which mangles the user information into the EXT compatiable format [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which vdelievermail uses when the variables come from qmail-local/qmail-command). It might be possible that vckpw is suspect in RH8.0 when compiled with that version of gcc... I read that you tried the compiled binaries on RH8.0 but I think you are talking about qmail not vpopmail (which is where the issue probably resides). Good luck on getting it sorted... I could dig through the code, but I am having my own issues that I am trying to dig through the code to find right now... (post forth coming shortly). Let me know what you find out.

Well Matt from looking at this and the fact that I also run Redhat 7.3 I see one thing wrong. Your default /etc/services file has your pop-3 as pop3. There are several ways to fix this, 1) either modify the /etc/services [bad idea], 2) Modify your run script to say pop3 [good choice], or 3) modify your run script to say 110 instead of pop-3 [best choice, unless you use a different port number]. Hope that helps some. Joe

I have added the / as you suggested, and the pop3 daemon starts up for 1 second then the status shows it never lives longer than a second.

Hope that helps some. Joe This the question I have just asked.I have modified the script again as suggested to reference pop3 instead of pop-3. I still cannot get the qmail-pop3d daemon to stay up longer than 1 second. I need to know if 1 second is whats expected as I would not expect the pop3 daemon to stay up all the time just spawn when called. I could be wrong though. Thanks, Matt.
RE: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + mysql + Redhat 8
Title: qmail + vpopmail + mysql + Redhat 8 -Original Message-From: Lapidus, Keith [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: 30 December 2002 06:50To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + mysql + Redhat 8 I have two servers; one with Redhat 8 installed and one with redhat 7.3 installed. They both have mysql and qmail installed and configured identically. The redhat 7.3 server can send and receive email just fine using vpopmail 5.2.1. When I configure the Redhat 8 server to be the primary mailserver with vpopmail, always gives me the following error: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/ I've tried the newer version of vpopmail but have not gotten it to work. Has anyone else gotten qmail and vpopmail to work with Redhat 8? [Matt Darcy]Looks like your user accounts are on the7.3 server and database. export the vpopmail database and import it on the 8.0 box and copythe domains from $VPOPMAILHOME/domains on the 7.3 machine to the 8.0 $VPOPMAILHOME/domains Just a thought
