Perl/PHP webmail
We're using a few servers running qmail+vpopmai+qmailadmin and of course, sqwebmail. Although sqwebmail is one nice package, with lots of complex stuff inside--we are looking for a recommendation for other cool webmail that uses Perl or PHP. Direct access to maildir is good, but not necessary. We also prefer a package that interface nicely with vpopmail's (simple--as Ken said : -) filtering mechanism. Any suggestion is welcome. -kman

Re: Perl/PHP webmail
Thanks a lot Gabriel. I've heard of that squirrelmail for some time, and even have spent little time trying it out. Like you said, it doesn't support vpopmail's filtering, which is kind of important to me at this point. So if no futher suggestion coming in, I might need to do small hacking to get it work.

Re: Problems Compiling 4.10.17.
I have a fix for this in 4.10.18.
In configure.in around line 792
AC_CHECK_FUNCS(getcwd mkdir strdup strstr fdatasync )
This will create a #define HAVE_FDATASYNC 1
in config.h if it is on the system.
Then in vdelivermail.c around line 538:
#ifdef HAVE_FDATASYNC
if ( fdatasync(write_fd) == 0
#else
if ( fsync(write_fd) == 0
#endif
&& close(write_fd) == 0 ) {
If you want to test it, you can pick up a copy from:

If you are trying to use the autoreponse and mailfilter features of sqwebmail you will need to run the courier MTA. These features are not consistant with vpopmail. Ken
Aborted Mysql Connections (4.10.x)
FreeBSD 4.3-S Has anyone noticed an abundance of Aborted connections with 4.10.x in the mysqld log. I just upgraded one of my machines from 4.9.10 to 4.10.17 and noticed that these Aborted connection messages are being logged 5 or 6 times a minute. I also updated mysql from 3.22.x to 3.23.x which may be part of the problem. Aborted connection 188 to db: 'vpopmail' user: 'vpopmail' host: `localhost' (Got an error reading communication packets) I haven't noticed any service affecting problems because of this, it just looks like a minor cosmetic error.

These are two different things 1) pop authentication telnet hostname 110 user "enter your user@domain here" pass "enter your password" If it says OK each time then it authentication. 2) Email delivery echo "to: user@domain" | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject It should show up in the users Maildir/new directory. If not, look at your qmail-send log file for answers. 3) Mail delivery from the outside world. This depends on your DNS.

Which is another issue :) Mail delivery from the outside world is also working, as the mail sent is arriving in the users Maildir directory So now I am really stuck, Qmailadmin still will not let anyone in, and basically says that username/password is wrong, even though I have just confirmed it works. Should I try reinstalling Qmailadmin and see if that works? As far as httpd.conf is concerned what configuration for qmailadmin would be in there? Also what permissions would stop qmailadmin authenticating a user? I have just done a straight install, however does it make any difference if the install is performed by an ordinary user or by root, because thats the only thing I can think of that would alter permissions?

The group is vchkpw. Mail is delivered to the Maildirs OK. I have also checked to make sure qmail-pop3d is working by invoking it with checkpassword and checking a POP account for a local user. Only when vchkpw is used do I have a problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Trey Nolen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Cannot start vpopmail?
Hello. I'm trying to use vpopmail along with qmail, but there are some difficulties that I cannot explain to myself. I've installed and configured vpopmail following the installation instructions contained in the file http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/INSTALL. Note that I configured vpopmail with the fast default install (./configure; make; make install-strip) of point 4 of this document, neglecting point 5 as I didn't configured with the option --enable-roaming-users=y. After having added a new domain test.it and a new user of this new domain, I reached point 12 of the installation instructions, but the command env - PATH="/var/qmail/bin:/usr/local/bin" tcpserver -H -R 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup linuxmag.test.it /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir & (linuxmag is the hostname of this experimental linuxbox) gives back the following error message: "tcpserver: fatal: unable to bind: address already used" This is for the server side of the game. Then I tried (just for checking purposes) to configure a pop client in another computer to get the mail from the new user and domain of vpopmail but, obviously enough, I obtained the error message "authorization failed" from the server. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance Franco Vecchiato
Re: Cannot start vpopmail?
Franco, Do a "netstat -nap | grep LISTEN" to see if the port's already bound. You might have pop or smtp bound already through inet or another service. (edit /etc/inetd.conf if you have it running through inet). Hope this helps David Gartner > Hello.

Cehck your /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinet.d diretories, You probablly already have a pop server setup and running. The error message is saying some other program already has port 110 open and listening. port 110 is the pop port. Ken

I cut and pasted it from my logs excpet for the user@domain part. I found the error you are referring to in the archives of this list and tried running it as root, but it didn't fix the problem. Apparently, the newest version(s) of vpopmail are broken. I was using 4.10.17 and Ken thought that updating to 4.10.18 would fix it, but it didn't, so there must still be a problem. I think I'm going to go back to 4.10.1, because I have that one working on another box very similar to this one.

RE: Port of Matt SImerson's Mysql Relay + cdb auth patchtovpopm ail-4.9.10
Oh, _that's_ what you did. Yes, you were correct. You should probably refer to the version of my toaster recipe when you specify what you did. Then I can figure it out better. I have systems that use each type of recipe (full mysql & relay only mysql) and once the replication is all sorted out for MySQL authentication I'll convert my CDB based systems over and stop maintenance of the .cdb version. If you plan to maintain using the .cdb format with MySQL relay, I can link to your pages.

Ah, I was looking at an old version of the code. I don't know why vchkpw would be trying to set the gid to 0, unless it's not reading it from the database for some reason. good luck, -- Daniel Biddle <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

[Smtpauth] smtp-auth + vpopmail + outlook 2000?
Hi all,
I have sucessfully installed the smtp-auth(0.30) patch to qmail
I can authenticate using AUTH PLAIN:
$perl encode '\0user%domainname.com\0test'
AHRlc3Qlc2dtbG9wZW4uY29tAHRlc3Q=
$telnet 0 25
Trying 0.0.0.0...
Connected to 0.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.domainname.com ESMTP
auth plain
334 ok, go on
AHRlc3Qlc2dtbG9wZW4uY29tAHRlc3Q=
235 ok, go ahead (#2.0.0)
quit
so, I try to use outlook2000 ( i setup outlook correctly )
but I get the usual:
"553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)"
According to the docs @:
http://members.elysium.pl/brush/smtp-auth/client.html
Outlook98 supports LOGIN and PLAIN
So is the problem that outlook2k doesn't support PLAIN
or am I missing some key info?
Any tips, pointers, or smacks on the bald head (benny hill style)
would be appreciated.
