behaviour of vadduser username ??
How is the following meant to behave? vadduser john I can see that it creates a directory and vpasswd entry in ~vpopmail/users The weird thing is that I can access this with username: john via IMP (courier-imap with vauth module) but I can't access it through POP. I get the following error in syslog: vchkpw: setgid() failed Any ideas what is going on here? Iain. -- public key available at http://www.minihub.org/~iain/iain.asc
RE: Vdelivermail, Maildir support and NFS 'safety'
Hi -
I had a look at the new code and it looks much closer to the Maildir
algorithm now. I think you could still put a call to fsync() before
the file close() function call to ensure the file has been written to
the drive and not to the local cache. This gives you something like:
/* done with the new file */
if ( is_file == 1) {
if(fsync(write_fd) == -1 || close(write_fd) == -1) {
if ( unlink(local_file) != 0 ) {
printf("unlink failed %s errno = %d\n",
local_file, errno);
return(errno);
}
printf("fsync/close failed %s errno = %d\n",
local_file, errno);
return(errno);
}
} else
close(write_fd);
(around line 529 of vdelivermail.c). Now you can pretty much guarantee
that the tmp file is written to the drive. You may be able to use
fdatasync() if you want to optimise this as that will leave out a
write operation to update the modification time on the inode and just
writes the data out to disk but how much time that will save I dont
know.
Hope this is of use,
Marcus

Re: behaviour of vadduser username ??
I wonder if we can drop this functionality and make vpopmail only talk to virtual domains with the @domain. I never liked the need for "vadduser username" The only use is for domains that want virtual email users mixed with /etc/passwd users.

RE: sqwebmail configure loops
I altered the line in authlib/Makefile to read LDFLAGS = -L/home/vpopmail/lib -lvpopmail -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient That worked, but failed on something else unrelated. At that point I gave up and installed squirrelmail.

vqregister-2.5
Hi, I've managed to set vqregister-2.5 up, works fine. I have it configured to send the user a signup email when they complete the registration. Although, if the user supplies an email address on a domain that is on the server already - a vpopmail virtual domain the signup fails with the following error Email delivery to [EMAIL PROTECTED] failed Delivery error: Sorry. Although I'm listed as a best-preference MX or A for that host, it isn't in my control/locals file, so I don't treat it as local. #(5.4.6) I am right in that the virtual domain should not be in the control/locals file anyway? Just control/rcpthosts & control/virtualhosts, besides i used vadddomin to add the domain. The script works fine if i supply a remote email address, although I didnt see it send the confirmation email in the logs, though I still got the email. How is vqregister sending these emails - it would appear its not using qmail-inject and why would I be getting that error above?

Re: better methods to install qmail on linux ( Redhat 6.2 or 7.0)
Agreeably off topic, but 7.0 was the buggy/broken one. 7.1 has been running smooth here for a little over a month. The only problem I can find is the version of GTK that ships with it, but that's solved by upgrading that package. Other than that, the only thing I'd complain about is (1) redhat opens port 111 with a clean install no matter what and (2) 7.1 installs ssh, but not sshd. That's about all, so I'll shut up now ^^;; David Kieran Barnes wrote: > This isn't really on topic, but... > > We could discuss "the best installation of linux" for the next several > decades. > > Personally, I'd not use Redhat, but if you set on using Redhat, I'd use 6.2 > with all the latest updates. > >From what I heard, 7.1 was very buggy and broken when it was released. 7.1 > might be fixed slightly. > > 2 of our servers use Redhat 6.2 with the latest updates and they have run > fine for several years. > > As for volume space, read the Redhat guides located at redhat.com - assuming > your installing it > > http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/rhl71.html > http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/howto/rhl62.html > > Regards, > > Kieran Barnes > Signum 1226 Ltd > Use our Web site at... http://www.1226.net > Phone us on... 01772 622889 > Fax us on... 01772 622558
Re: vqregister-2.5
I think vqregister calls qmail-remote directly. So it might be a smtp relay problem. The error message you are seeing doesn't mean it is because of your control locals file. That is just the best error message qmail can come up with. Perhaps vqregister should call qmail-inject instead of calling qmail-remote.

maildrop drawbacks
Hi Folks, After much struggling I finally got sQwebmail up last night. Seems to be pretty darn fast. :-) I was noticing however, that I need maildrop if I want the filtering and auto-response features to work. I'm just curious if there are any drawbacks to maildrop over the native qmail programs? Thanks, Lance
valias
Hi guys, I'm using vpopmail-4.10.15 with qmailadmin-0.51 .. Well.. I got that qmailadmin make error solved.. hehe... I didn't know that it's not backward compatible. Anyways... got everything running with valias feature turned on. I tested adding a pop account, and that works perfectly from both console and qmailadmin. But when I tested valias from console and qmailadmin it was showing no error.. meaning it suppose to work... but nothing in mysql database. It added .qmail-username in ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com just fine .. but can't see it in qmailadmin. Same with email forwarding .. Anyone ever get a similar problem ? Roy Kartadinata

mail routing question
We use Qmail+Vpopmail. we are planning to move a virtual domain to another server. but i'm afraid the new incoming email will still store in the old server after we change the MX dns record to the new server. anyone know how to configure the old server's qmail route the email to new server? many many thanks Chris Chan
