OK, fine.
Is there no comment from you on my report regarding the major part of
my previous message: the problem that many people seem to have trouble
getting sqwebmail 0.99 to work with vpopmail?
Let me summarize what I've seen people write and conclude so-far:
* POP3 to the same mailboxes works (my experience)
* Using /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/hostname to define a default domain
allows 'local' users to access their mailbox with sqwebmail (my
experience)
* Using a full e-mail address to log in doesn't work
* Testing with the tools in authlib shows that the password used was
indeed correct
* Compiling sqwebmail 0.36 configured with the same ./configure options
and using the same version of vpopmail works
In order to ease configuration of various pieces of software that need
lots of configure options, I've written some config-scripts on my
system. The current contents of the config-script for sqwebmail are
these:
=== snip ===
#!/bin/sh
# Configure sqwebmail on Relay
SQWEBMAIL_VERSION=0.99
cd sqwebmail-$SQWEBMAIL_VERSION
rm config.cache
env LIBS="-L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient" ./configure \
--with-htmllibdir=/usr/local/share/sqwebmail \
--enable-cgibindir=/var/www/rd1008/cgi-bin \
--enable-imagedir=/var/www/rd1008/img \
--without-authpwd \
--without-authshadow \
--without-authpam \
--without-authldap \
--without-authdaemon \
--without-authmysql \
--enable-webpass=vpopmail \
--enable-autopurge=7 \
--enable-maxpurge=90 \
--enable-logincache \
--without-ispell \
--enable-imageurl=/img/
=== snap ===
Now, on this one system that I have, consider this order of events:
1) Sqwebmail is working with version 0.36
2) I obtain the source for 0.99 and un-tgz it.
3) I edit the config script above to reflect the new version.
4) I run the config script and do 'make install'
5) I test, and observe that using full e-mail addresses to log in no
longer works
6) Without changing anything on the system, I run 'make install' again
from the still present 0.36 directory
7) I test, and observe that using full e-mail addresses to log in works
again
I understand what you wrote about not having changed anything that
could have impact on this in the code of sqwebmail that interfaces with
vpopmail, but you must admit that since the only variable in the above
mentioned order of events is the version of sqwebmail, and that unless
you can point to another cause, logic dictates that the problem must be
in sqwebmail.
Also, why does sqwebmail suddenly need to have the LIBS set for mysql
when 0.36 didn't need that?
In my opinion this issue isn't resolved yet.
