Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail + Mysql, can't add domains
I'm not entirely sure how to rebuild qmail-smtpd to use the new libvpopmail for MySQL. I'm imagining I have to recompile Qmail, but how do I single out qmail-smtpd to be the only thing to build, and how do I get it to recognize vpopmail with mysql support exactly? Thanks for your help!

Thanks JT for your help! Bear with me as I'm new to qmail myself but it seems that it's not getting resolved... I really don't see why you would have to recompile qmail, and especially qmail-smtpd. qmail-smtp uses an external password checker like vchkpw. qmail-send bounces the message if it can't find a match. Why don't you post an unedited version of your logfile and your run script. What patches have you applied to qmail? Are you using vchkpw to check the password? If it was working before, what have you installed recently? You need to rebuild qmail-smtpd so it links to the new libvpopmail that's built for MySQL instead of CDB. What does qmail-smtpd with libvpopmail? -- Regards, Charles.

The vpopmail library is statically linked, so every time you recompile it you have to re-link everything that uses it. Many configuration changes in vpopmail require you to recompile vpopmail... and everything that uses it. If the patched qmail-smtpd uses the vpopmail library, it needs to be re-linked. If you keep your source available that usually means make; make install. Many makefiles are smart enough not to wipe out your configuration settings, but always have a backup! Re-compiling this way may be a bit of a hassle, but it allows vpopmail to be much more efficient in day to day operation.
Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail + Mysql, can't add domains
Hi James I ask because I am having a problem with bounce-no-mailbox. Every domain (about 6 of them) that had bounce-no-mailbox set, was bouncing everything including messages to postmaster. If you could change bounce-no-mailbox to /home/vpopmail/domains/testdomain.com/postmaster (ie set the domain to catch all mail to postmaster) and see if that fixes (albeit temporarily) your problem, it most likely means that we are having the same problem, and I would like to know why too :) Cheers Alastair James Taylor said: | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox .. which is think is what it's supposed to be set at, no?

It executes vchkpw to validate users for pop and imap, and vdelivermail in .qmail-default to deliver mail. The only thing I can think of where qmail-smtpd has anything to do with vpopmail is a patch that allows it to reject messages to invalid addresses before they are queued. That patch calls functions in the vpopmail library, and must be recompiled when vpopmail changes. For installs on a virgin machine you must compile qmail, compile vpopmail, then compile qmail again (at least qmail-smtpd) to apply the patch.

Chkuser does use the vpopmail library, in order to check instantly for user existance. It does NOT use external checker, for performance reasons. Using an external checker would mean to run it each time for a different recipient (one run, one attach, etc.. for each recipient), much more slow and resources demanding. I remember you're using Bill's Shupp megapatch, and Bill gives different versions of chkuser integration, depending if you're using cdb, mysql or other. So, if you changed from cdb to MySQL, you must now adapt your Makefile (add mysql libraries and probably -lz) an recompile, or run again Bill's patch (chkuser.mysql) over a plain qmail installation and recompile. Or, there is a new patch here around, using an external checker. If you don't have any performance issue, use the new patch.

Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail + Mysql, can't add domains
This is not strange, as you are disabling chkuser. You have a misconfiguration. You must modify your qmail Makefile, and recompile it, with the lastest vpopmail library you are using.
