Quota Config

2001-11-13 Thread vpopmail list

Hello to all.
Just want to share this one...
I sent a letter to the list yesterday regarding my quota problem. I'm 
running vpopmail 5.0 with qmail 1.03 and qmailadmin 0.88. I was using 
vsetuserquota user@domain 300 to set a 3MB quota for a certain user. 
Well it was not working. But then I tried '3MB' instead of 300 and now 
it's working fine.
Don't know if it really was the solution but that was the only change that I 
have made. 



Access To "All" Mailboxes

2001-11-13 Thread vpopmail list

Hello.
Just want to ask if there is an available feature that allows a certain user 
(say postmaster) to view the contents of a particular mailbox. I have a lot 
of users that are not able to log in because they have reached the quota. 
When this happens, they can only see a black screen and can't do anything 
anymore. If I am able to access their mailbox, then I can delete some mails 
for them to free up some space. With this feature, I may now give this 
responsibility to our support staff.
Thanks and more power.

For another simple approach, something that appears to work very well
on one of the mail servers I run is checking the subject headers
against a known list of spam subjects, and then tagging the message as
spam.

You cant just check the subject header for equality against the ones
in a known spam subject list as spammers tend to put random
words/numbers into the mail they're sending to foil this (this also
foils the CRC approach).

What you can do, with a small overhead, is do some sort of pattern
matching approach similar to the unix diff command to give you a
similarity score against each subject heading. A score over a certain
threshold gets the email tagged as spam, adding a header to the
message that the user can then use to do some filtering. The overhead
is probably enough to not be able to do the same check against the
body of the message.

I havnt used this method long enough to trust it into deleting
messages!

If you're a Python fan you can use the difflib library
(http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-difflib.html) - I'm sure
theres equivs in other languages (perl espec.)

vpopmail + PHP - a solution?

Does anybody think this would work? Allowing apache to suexec the PHP script

This isn't necessary.  vpopmail logs information already, based on your 
--enable-logging option.  See FAQ #11 for details.  Just run vchkpw from 
tcpserver as illustrated in the INSTALL file and ditch the above script.

automatic quota warning messages

2001-11-13 Thread Bill Shupp

All,

I'm working some quota stuff with vpopmail, and wanted to get some 
opinions from the list before prodeeding...

I'd like to add a "quotawarn" message option that will deliver a "you're 
near your quota" message to the user if they get close to their quota.  
The code comes from Mr. Sam's deliverquota, which gets the percentage 
from an argument.  But I'm thinking of hard coding the percentage number 
(that triggers the warning message) into vpopmail, or maybe making it a 
configure option.  What do you think the default should be?  90%?   Is 
anyone even interested in this feature?

Regards,

Bill

sure this will be very interesting feature.
I think the way of using of this must be something like this:

  Firstly you enable/disable this feature in configure.
  Next vpopmail creates mysql (in mysql case) field in vpopmail with 1
  or 0 option (enabling or disabling this warning) and feild with warn
  message path.


  I think this will be great -)

I'm not that interested in making it something you can customize on a 
per user basis.  I'll follow the example in deliverquota and have one 
generic file for all domains, and the feature is either on or off at 
compile time.  But once this is in place, someone else could probably 
patch it to do what you described without too much difficulty.  I mainly 
don't have the time to get that detailed with it.

Just don't make it specific to one authentication module.  If you're at 
all interested in such changes getting into the vpopmail distribution, 
it's important to make them work seamlessly across all authentication 
modules.  If it's just for your own use, then obviously you can do 
whatever is most efficient.

How to use LDAP?

2001-11-13 Thread René Bärecke

Hello Folks,

I have tried to make qmail-ldap and vpopmail work together but didn't 
get there.
I want to store all user info in the directory, and put the mails as 
usual in the maildirs of vpopmail.

Let's start with my config:
FreeBSD, openldap-2.0.18
qmail-ldap from the ports
vpopmail 5.0 source

The the trouble begins.
vpopmail uses other ldap fields than there are defined in the standard 
schemes. (qmaildomain). Then, it does not use the "mail" field, so that 
there is no mail address stored in the directory.
After playing a bit with the schemes files I got that work.


BTW: The message "Error: Unable to chdir to vpopmail/users directory" 
disappears as soon as the ldap config is correct (base and suffix and 
password are set so that vpopmail can correctly access the directory).


But trying to send a message always fails.

How is this supposed to work? Is it right to use qmail-ldap and vpopmail 
with ldap configured? Why is there a difference in the ldap-schemes used?
If you need logs of ldap or anything, please let me know. I want to get 
this working.

THX
René

I don't think these are meant to work together.  qmail-ldap is its own 
mta with ldap support built in.  It supports virtualdomains, quotas, 
etc, so I don't know why you need vpopmail anyway.

But vpopmail *allegedly* works with an ldap server as an authentication 
module (not to be confused with qmail-ldap), although I've never tried 
it and I get the impression it's not aggressively supported.

Bill Shupp

> ldap-schemes used?

I don't think these are meant to work together.  qmail-ldap is its own
mta with ldap support built in.  It supports virtualdomains, quotas,
etc, so I don't know why you need vpopmail anyway.

But vpopmail *allegedly* works with an ldap server as an authentication
module (not to be confused with qmail-ldap), although I've never tried
it and I get the impression it's not aggressively supported.

Bill,

I think it is a good feature that some people will use. I would prefer that I 
have the percentage information on my web based email agent (sqwebmail). Well, 
Yahoo mail is showing this information every time I logon, and I find this 
information useful to track my space usage.

Early warning of quota limit would be a valuable thing to warn users so that 
they aware of their space limitation, in case they never use web based email 
agent.

I've already solved this for vpopmail/sqwebmail users, and will be 
posting an updated patch shortly.  (My previous maildirquota patch had a 
bug).  Since it tracks quota usage in maildirsize rather than 
.current_usage, sqwebmail already has built in support for displaying 
current usage.  Granted, it's not as fancy as yahoo's, but it works.

Unfortunately, IMAP based webmail clients like IMP and SquirrelMail 
can't take advantage of this without patches to read maildirsize or 
.current_usage directly, as (last time I checked) courier-imap doesn't 
support the imap-quota extension.
