[toaster] netqmail + qmail-toaster-0.6-1 + chkuser-0.6.mysql with vpopamil-5.4.3 chkusr doesn't work
I've downloaded the latest netqmail and patched with qmail-toaster-0.6-1 then chkuser-0.6.mysql, modifyied conf-mysql and conf-vpopmail to suit my directory structure, then do make and make setup check, and the installation is ok. Then the chkusr patch simply doesn't work, it accept email even to user that doesn't exist. It could be that chkusr (crappy old software badly mantained and nevery upgraded) doesn't work with the new vpopmail version? Consider that: catchall isn't set vpopmail use mysql for auth and chkuser too i've alread used vchkusr and work find with older vpopmail version. Regards. -- Davide Giunchi

I would not call it "crappy old software badly mantained and nevery upgraded" at all. And it's in pretty bad taste to suggest that that is the case, when some of us have put a LOT of our time into it. If there is indeed a bug in the way it interacts with the latest vpopmail mysql module, then a detailed description is all that is needed. A patch would be even more productive. Could it *possibly* be that you don't have it configured correctly? Perhaps you'd like your money back? Oh, wait... Sheesh! Bill

Here it's the setup session: vpopmail-5.4.3: ./configure --enable-roaming-users --enable-auth-module=mysql --disable-file-locking --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-relay-clear-minutes=90 netqmail + patches installation: wget http://www.qmail.org/netqmail-1.05.tar.gz tar xzvf netqmail-1.05.tar.gz cd netqmail-1.05 ./collate.sh cd netqmail-1.05 wget http://shupp.org/patches/qmail-toaster-0.6-1.patch.bz2 bunzip2 qmail-toaster-0.6-1.patch.bz2 patch < qmail-toaster-0.6-1.patch wget http://shupp.org/patches/chkuser-0.6.mysql.patch patch < chkuser-0.6.mysql.patch vi conf-cc conf-mysql conf-vpopmail /etc/init.d/qmail /etc/init.d/qmail stop make make setup check (here sometimes try to chown and chmod /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd) /etc/init.d/qmail start Then if you send an email to a nonexistent user it get accepted. I use qmail since a lot of time and i've spend a lot of hour trying to apply the chk patch correctly (even without the bill's cumulative) and never worked, it think that chk it's one of the most tricky patch.

[toaster] Issues with Spam...
Hello list, I am not sure if this is where I need to ask this question, but my back is against the wall and I really need some assistance. I am using an older version of the Shupp qmail toaster on Redhat 8.0 and have Spamassassin and qmail scanner both installed. I have a number of Spammers trying to use bogus account names from listed domains. Apparently they have had some success because my server ip address has been added to the Orbs list and several other email ban list as well. I have been adding bogus domains to the Rejected Recipients in qmail itself and bogus email addresses Spamassassin and still have a lot of spam get through. Even on rejected domains (example: china.com). Is there a way I can ban by ip address? Does anyone have some suggestions as to what I can do to stop this issue or at least slow spammers down a bit? Thanks James

Relax Bill. The rest of us still love you. We know that you put in a huge amount of time on this and we do appreciate it. My guess is that he didn't know that you had anything to do with the creation of the chkuser patch...

Thanks James You can can add the file badmailfrom in /var/qmail/control directory and insert the ip addresses there. This only works if the spammers don't lie about their sending domain. There's a nice big list here of blacklists that I just started using http://www.stearns.org/sa-blacklist/ (scroll way down to Qmail). Dump his file into badmailfrom and add your own. See if that works. He also has some custom spamassasin rule sets that I also started using with more here: http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/CustomRulesets

Oh well. Toaster does not use mysql. Well. That is bad :) so I. You people might want to sponsor Shupp to test more toaster, It is worth of it :) -- Eero
[toaster] Chkuser - Mysql -Gateway
Hello people, I have two server for a big domain. One of them is a SMTP-MX-ANTIVIRUS it receive all incoming and outgoiing mail, check for virus and forward messages to another machine (by a smtproute), a POP server which I use netqmail+qmail-toaster+vpopmail 5.4.2+Mysql and users' homedirs. I want to user chkuser-mysql in my SMTP-MX-ANTIVIR to deny incoming SMTP for unknown virtual domain users before forwarding message to antivirus and pop server to reduce antivirus working. I have replicated my vpopmail database from POP server to SMTP server yet, and create a "fake" /home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com.br/.qmail-default (with bounce-no-mailbox) but chkuser still doesn work. What does the chkuser patch are looking for? It works with my POP server without any problem, perhaps virtualdomains is needed? How can I use chkuser against a replicated mysql-vpopmail-db if I don want to deliver messages locally (I want to use smtproute)? My control files at SMTP gateways are : locals : empty virtualdomains : empty rcpthosts : localhost and mydomain.com.br Thanks in advance, Mário Viana ISP Network Admin

How can I use chkuser /var/qmail/control/ and /var/qmail/users/* must be also replicated in order to get chkusr patch working correctly ;) Or maybe you want to modify source to fetch virtual domains from textfile. -- Eero
