Re: [vchkpw] Courier IMAP or other IMAP serves...
Hello, Since version 0.59.2, courier-authlib is no longer supporting vchkpw. If you want to use the last courier-imap version, I advice you to install vpopmail with MySQL support and to configure authlib to authenticate through MySQL Change line 27 of the file authdaemonrc with following : authmodulelist=authmysql Change file authmysqlrc with following : MYSQL_SERVERYOUR-MYSQL-SERVER MYSQL_USERNAME YOUR-MYSQL-USERNAME MYSQL_PASSWORD YOUR-MYSQL-PASSWORD MYSQL_DATABASE vpopmail MYSQL_SELECT_CLAUSE SELECT CONCAT(pw_name, '@', pw_domain) AS username, \ pw_passwd AS cryptpw, \ pw_clear_passwd AS clearpw, \ '89' AS uid, \ '89' AS gid, \ pw_dir AS home, \ '' AS maildir, \ '' AS quota, \ pw_gecos AS fullname, \ 'disablewebmail=0,disablepop3=0,disableimap=0' AS options \ FROM vpopmail \ WHERE \ pw_name = '$(local_part)' \ AND \ pw_domain = '$(domain)'; \ Best Regards Thibault - Original Message - From: Den Arion To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Monday, June 21, 2010 11:14 PM Subject: [vchkpw] Courier IMAP or other IMAP serves...

Re: [vchkpw] Courier support
So, replace courier-IMAP from Other packages compatible with
vpopmail on the Inter7's website.

Re: [vchkpw] Courier support
I may be a little out of date, but since I assume altering quota support would mean altering vdelivermail as well - can we 'add dovecot support' into vdelivermail? I have slow large POP mailboxes - due to Dovecot's indexes/uid gathering. I can't replace vdelivermail with dovecot's deliver to fix that because of how I've done some things. As I understand it, another possible way to speed POP up is to add the ,W=vsize to Maildir filenames which I don't currently have done. It seems the vsize option could be a quick fix/implementation, but updating indexes in the long run would be great. I wonder if the index part of Dovecot is modular... I wouldn't want to cross post - at least not at this point. Rick On Tue, 2009-03-10 at 10:06 -0500, Matt Brookings wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 It's a sad tale, but a true one.

Re: [vchkpw] courier IMAP server authentication failed
You need to create a user and group for Dovecot to run under. You could use the vpopmail user, but it is best to be safe and have a unique user for Dovecot. Depending on what you're running, this should be sufficient: # groupadd -g 202 dovecot # useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -u 202 -g 202 dovecot Make sure to confirm those IDs are open before running the commands. - Michael Zhan Li wrote: Thanks Michael!

Re: [vchkpw] Courier IMAP and IMAP account settings in VPOPMAIL
Matthew Moore wrote: Hi, Recently I upgraded Courier IMAP to version 4.0.6 and authlib 0.57. Some users have a restriction on their IMAP settings set through Vpopmail that stops them checking their email via IMAP. Normally an account is setup in Vpopmail and the whole domain has IMAP switched off and then enabled for certain users under that domain.

It should have the setgid bit set, and owned by whatever userid and groupid was assigned to courier-authlib. My sqwebpasswd seems to meet this requirement as these two directory listings show: -rwxr-sr-x 1 root wheel3752 Apr 11 20:23 sqwebpasswd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 51860 Apr 11 00:29 authdaemond* assuming authdaemond's ownership is a correct reference for the userid and groupid was assigned to courier-authlib. But I was a little surprised to see the root/wheel ownership, and this also contradicts what the courier-authlib INSTALL file says will happen if the above two options are not set and there is no previous Courier install: The userid is the first userid from the following list which exists in the system: courier, daemon, adm, bin, root; and the groupid is the first groupid from the following list which exists in the system: courier, daemon, adm, sys, root because I do have daemon both as a user-id and a group-id on my system. Apparently the authdaemond is irrelevant in determining the courier-authlib ownership. In fact the ownership was daemon/daemon exactly as specified by the INSTALL file, and changing the sqwebpasswd to be owned likewise resolved the problem of not being able to change passwords from sqwebmail. However, I'd still appreciate advice regarding a good choice for the user/group, as I was saying However, this made me wonder if there are any opinions here about best practices for courier-authlib ownership in a primarily-vpopmail situation. The possibility of using vpopmail/vchkpw comes to mind immediately, but maybe courier-authlib is a wrapper that makes this irrelevant, so that creating a courier user and group would be just as good. I'd also like to do things in a way that wouldn't get me in trouble if I later add Courier IMAP to my system. -Kurt

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap roaming-users problem
Newer version of courier-imap will no longer be able to write the IPs into the relay table. This is because all authentication has now been moved out of courier (and sqwebmail) and into the courier-authlib package. As has always been the case, authdaemon doesn't support POP before SMTP. That's why I chose never to use authdaemon. Now that courier no longer supports POP before SMTP via the authvchkpw module, it's just one more good reason not to use courier-imap for POP3 services. Use qmails pop3d instead. That way POP users still get roaming access. IMAP users are users newer email clients that support SMTP AUTH and should be directed to use that instead. I have overcome this via the relay-ctrl package. My roaming users don't roam very often, but -do- (and are required to) use DDNS. Via their DDNS record, I can easily access their machine if need be...but I digress. I have written a -simple- perl cron that reverse queries their name/ip mapping, and updates the relay-ctrl directory of the allowed ip's that can relay. This way, I'm still using courier. (not that qmail-pop is bad, I've used it too...just have courier in this case) Just my approach. -Chris

I'm running Courier IMAP to provide IMAP service (surprise :-), and relay-ctrl to let roving customers send mail out through the server. Trouble is while the older Courier v2.2.1 works fine, the newer v3.0.6 doesn't update any of the files in the allow directory. Not sure if this is related to vchkpw or not, but I know a lot of people on the list use this combo and I'm hoping someone else has seen and fixed this problem before... The new Courier *does* work for IMAP, and users CAN log in, it just doesn't mark them with relay-ctrl as being valid. Config is the same as on the older version. And unrelated, has anyone had good luck blocking mail from sites with no reverse DNS entry? I've been seeing loads of relay attempts and bounces from spammers in China/Korea and none of them have reverses, but I'm concerned how much legitimate email might be blocked if I do this.

Re: [vchkpw] Courier-IMAP authentication using vpopmail's pw_passwd column
It also says that you don't have to define MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD. You can define MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD instead.

I would like to use the vpopmail table to provide authentication for Courier-IMAP's MySQL module. Courier-IMAP supports a MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD field, which it states must be crypt-ed using the operating system's crypt function, NOT MySQL's crypt function. What type of crypt does vpopmail use for it's vchkpw user passwords? In the database, the passwords are stored in the pw_passwd column as 14-characters. courier-imap also supports a custom query for authentication via MySQL as well, but have not gotten that far. I would have preferred to the courier-imap's vchkpw module, but am having trouble compiling it. Thank you. -- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [vchkpw] Courier-imap + vpopmail-5.4.0-rc2 + Roaming success
Hi Shane: We weren't able to get the MySQL alias table to be created and populated by ./valias commands. The only significant difference in our configuration was that we did not use mysql-limits. At 04:59 AM 1/20/2004, you wrote: Just letting the list know that I have managed to get the roaming users working with the vpopmail-5.4.0-rc2 and courier-imap-2.2.2.20040118 version of courier on a redhat 7.3 box. I noticed a post earlier saying that valias in MySQL wasn't working, however all of mine are working still as they did before. My compile time options for vpopmail were: ./configure --enable-rebuild-tcpserver-file=n --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-defaultquota=20971520S --enable-auth-module=mysql --enable-file-sync=n --enable-mysql-logging=y --enable-learn-passwords=y --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-valias=y --enable-mysql-limits=y --enable-logging=v --enable-relay-clear-minutes=15 My courier options were: ./configure --with-trashquota --without-authpwd --without-authshadow --without-authpam --without-authuserdb --without-authcram --without-authldap --without-authmysql --without-authpgsql --without-authcustom --without-authdaemon --disable-root-check --with-redhat At first compile with vpopmail-5.4.0-rc1 I was getting the problem with the formatting of ip addresses in the relay table such as :::111.222.333 being put into the table. After a compile and install of vpopmail-5.4.0-rc2 and a make clean, configure and make/make install of courier again, all is working as expected. Shane Best Regards, Jeff Koch, Intersessions
Re: [vchkpw] Courier IMAP + Outlook Express Feedbacks
Paolo Losi wrote: Hi all! I'm working on a quite critical email project. We want to use Imap in order to reduce client management complexity (email backups, etc...). I'm using very happily Courier Imap and Mozilla since 2 years now so I'm very confident with Mozilla and Courier Imap interoperability. But now we would need to deploy IMAP to 300 users and we need also to select an IMAP client. The more obvious choise would be outlook express (for a number of reason). I've tested for a couple of days OE 6 without any serious problem. The only drawback is that it tries to always download attachments from the server even if I click on them. The questions are: - What is your experience with the combination of OE and Courier Imap? - is the Imap interoperability robust enough to use it in a production environment? - Which are the release combinations that can be considered stable? Thanks to everyone for feedbacks! Ciao Paolo I sweat by Mozilla ThunderBird, cause its less prone to those MS only viruses, and is a very stable email client, easy to install as well, just drop it in a dir and your set. X-Istence
