Problems with vpopmail and courier-imap
Ok here comes the plea for help, to qualify myself: This is the first time I've worked with qmail/courier/vpopmail so I can certainly be considered a newbie, but please read on since I've certainly pulled the RTFM trick many times, searched the mailing list archives and the bits and pieces don't seem to fit. Scenario: - qMail 1.03 (Installed based on the instructions in "Life with qmail" up to http://www.lifewithqmail.org/lwq.html#relaying at that point I started installing vpopmail) - vpopmail 5.0 (Installed with the following options for configure: --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-hardquo ta=n --enable-default-domain=maxisphere.com --enable-relay-clear-minutes=120 , I then followed the instructions in the INSTALL file to a tee) - courier-imap (Installed according to the instructions included in the INSTALL file, made package with --enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs option and as non-root user, installed with the make install-strip option) Here's the rest of it, I'm setting up a new system which hosts over 200 domains, now I was fed up with the unruly setup involved with sendmail, I've done it too many times to count and I hated the instability when it came to virtual domains, either you weren't specific enough, or being too specific. So, fed up, I went with qmail on this machine, and regretting it at this point since it needs to be production quality a week ago. Problem was that I didn't give myself enough time to get acquainted with the ins and outs that are involved with qmail. So, 200 domains, all having DNS records with MX pointers to mail.domainname.com. I'd like to offer POP access as well as IMAP to the users using this machine. So after that small bit of intro jabber, here's my problem. At this point, I've set up vpopmail according to the instructions and it seems to work according to what it's supposed to be doing. Though I'm finding the documentation unclear as I am completely unfamiliar with what each package is supposed to do exactly. First problem: Cannot send out any mail at all through SMTP services. This is what the /var/log/qmail/smtp/current log reads: @40003bfb63f7224b0b8c tcpserver: end 2876 status 28416 @40003bfb63f7224b1b2c tcpserver: status: 0/20 @40003bfb648b272ea5b4 tcpserver: status: 1/20 @40003bfb648b2731591c tcpserver: pid 2903 from 24.77.193.12 @40003bfb648b28bf5004 tcpserver: warning: dropping connection, unable to read /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtpd.cdb: file does not exist @40003bfb648b28c3341c tcpserver: end 2903 status 28416 @40003bfb648b28c347a4 tcpserver: status: 0/20 @40003bfb6499158865d4 tcpserver: status: 0/20 @40003bfb64a52655c244 tcpserver: status: 1/20 @40003bfb64a526583b14 tcpserver: pid 2926 from 24.77.193.12 @40003bfb64a526c1fd4c tcpserver: warning: dropping connection, unable to read /etc/tcp.smtpd.cdb: file does not exist Ok so the above example shows the two possibilities of where qmail can check for roaming users access. In the first example, I populated a tcp.smtpd file listing every IP aliased on this machine. The /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run script contained the following code: #!/bin/sh QMAILUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 400 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -l 0 -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtpd.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 As the example in the FAQ showed. (the above was derived from life with qmail). On my second attempt, all I did was to change the /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtpd.cdb back to /etc/tcp.smtpd.cdb Neither has worked for me, the error logs speak for themselves...? Secondly, if I send an e-mail from a outside address to any domain on this machine, they seem to get stuck in the queue. If I locally type out a message on the command line such ass echo "This is a test" |mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] it works perfectly, from any shell account on that machine, I log in happily through courier IMAP and see the messages, but again, if the message originates from an outside source, the queue holds it and this is what the logs report: @40003bfaf3b50720c694 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @40003bfaf3b507ce96ac delivery 12: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/ @40003bfaf3b507ceb204 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 @40003bfafcd00fa9c5f4 status: exiting @40003bfafd1a0f5c7ccc status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 @40003bfb0228202ea7b4 starting delivery 1: msg 3342584 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @40003bfb0228202ecadc status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @40003bfb0228216e76cc delivery 1: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/ @40003bfb0228216e99f4 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 @40003bfb022e22efac14 starting delivery 2: msg 3342586 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @40003bfb022e22efd324 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @40003bfb022e2347f

This is the cause of a lot of slow connection problems across firewalls as the program waits until the ident lookup fails before continuing. I think you can tell tcpserver to tun without lookups by adding the -R flag. Check out http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/tcpserver.html for full options. If you're running qmail using tcpserver you may also get a similar timeout on SMTP connection.

RE: Problems with vpopmail and courier-imap
Ok I did find that the /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run had the typo, smtpd was changed to smtp... k now I get the following error in Outlook Express: The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Subject 'This is another test', Account: 'hamletbuildings.com', Server: 'hamletbuildings.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.7.1)', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 553, Error Number: 0x800CCC79 If I'm not mistaken, vpopmail's supposed to handle this somehow? I tried sending the e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] which is the virtual domain on the machine I'm playing with. The above mentioned qmail-smtpd/run script points to /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb, does anyone know where vpopmail creates this cdb file it's touted to make? I also find it kind of weird that qmail is rejecting a destination domain.

Re: Problems with vpopmail and courier-imap
Hi dan, Regarding sending mail , have u created a tcp.smtpd.cdb file . I know there are no instructions regarding this in the vpopmail doc so this is what u need to do ..assuming the tcp.smtpd file exists in /home/vpopmail/etc tcprules /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtpd.cdb /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtpd.tmp < /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtpd the tcp.smtpd file must contain ur whitelist entries including 127.0.0.1 and ur local ip address. verify that the newly created file is readable by qmail Your second problem seems to be a permission problem. Verify that all ur domain directories and files under vpopmail are owned by vpopmail:vchkpw .

The only problem I can see from the above is that mysql is reporting an aborted connection and people might not like that report. Programming/systemwise, it is not a problem. What that report means is that a program that opened a connection to the mysql database did not call mysql_close() before exiting. That does not cause any mysql problems. A way to think about this is that vqregister didn't say goodbye before exiting, it just left :) The way to get rid of this report is to audit the vqregister software and make a mysql_close before any exit() calls.

Re: forwarding question
vpopmail-5.0 also supports .qmail files in each users directory. qmailadmin-1.0, under modify user, has buttons to allow, save a copy and forward. You can edit it by hand by placing what Arne suggested, into /home/vpopmail/domains/charliechrisman.com/me/.qmail If you have a large site, it's nice to use the users .qmail file so your main directory doesn't get filled up with .qmail-"user" files.

Quick Question
Hello, Is there a web archive of this mailing list anywhere? Secondly, I recently upgraded vpopmail 5.0, I was running a pre version before that. At any rate, aliases don't seem to be working. I create a pop account, forward that to a different email address, and that works. But then when I add an alias to the pop account that's forwarded, that does not. Any thoughts? If this has been mentioned before, I apologize, but I can't find a list archive. Thanks, Dean

using procmail
I have vpopmail 5.0 running, and I'm trying to do some spam filtering. I want to do it for the entire mail server, so I created an /etc/procmailrc that basically pipes it through the spam filter, and then sends it to vdelivermail. Unfortunately, my promailrc is being ignored. I **REALLY** don't want to have to go through every user on every domain and put a .qmail file that would do the redirection. We have so many users, that this would just not be an option. If this is the only way to do it, we will just not block spam. I may even be so bitter, that we may start hosting spam sites. ;-) In other words, I **REALLY** need a solution. I have been watching the logs, and it seems that procmail is not even being called. We are running Debian, and have the qmail-procmail script available if that will help, but I haven't been able to get it to work. I've looked through the archives, and there are 21 messages containing procmail with very few responses. If procmail won't work, does anyone have another option for intercepting the mail between qmail and vdelivermail to pipe it through some filtering? Thanks for any help that you can give. Trey Nolen

Aliases deliver directly to Maildirs, do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars, do not check for forwards, other aliases, anything else. qmail-local is handling the aliases, so it just pops it right into the usrs Maildir. I bet if you create a forward instead of an alias, then it will behave the way you want. Ken Jones

Hey Ken.. how come aliases don't deliver to the home directory, and then look for a .qmail file? After that, then deliver to ./Maildir/ ? -Bill
Re: using procmail
You could try putting it in the .qmail-default file before the vdelivermail line. That would work for an entire domain, but not for aliases/forwards, since qmail-local handles those. We are working on a program called efilter that uses eps http://www.inter7.com/eps You can put that before the vdelivermail line in your .qmail-default file. I think eventually eps will have a program we can put in front of the smtp server to block spam before it reaches the queue. Other folks replace qmail-queue with a spam filter program that acts like qmail-queue, then calls the real qmail-queue if the mail is okay. We might put the eps stuff there instead, dunno yet.

After that, then deliver to ./Maildir/ ? Because qmail-local is doing the delivery and it doesn't know about vpopmail stuff. It would need a qmail-local patched for vpopmail stuff, which wouldn't be a bad idea :)
vpopmail and 2 virtual domains
hi, i have a functional vpopmail on my server (domain1.com). recently i added a second virtual domain on it using the vadddomain utility (domain2.com). i add two users for the moment for dry run purposes. now here's my problem. when sending an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], vpopmail delivers the mail with no problem at all. but when i tried to check the email thru pop3, instead of checking the email of [EMAIL PROTECTED], it tries to retreive mails from [EMAIL PROTECTED] how could this be? any help would be greatly appreciated -- Ralph G.

Re: Is something wrong'????
That's a syslog optimization to reduce the total number of lines logged. It's normal behavior. The line before the "repeat" line is the line that syslog is saving you disk space on.

RE: Is something wrong'????
Look above the line that says "repeated x times" That'll be the message it's repeating. It's just doing this for the sake of brevity so you don't flood your logs.

You have to pop3 then the file will probably show up. I don't think it will be created if you come in via IMAP. Courier might have some features to do similar things. If you're are still having problems with the chdir errors check that the /var/qmail/users/assign file is present and what it's contents are. Thats the file qmail uses to decide where to deliver the virtual mail under vpopmail. It could also be a permission issue ~vpopmail should be 755, bin etc and domains should be 755 as well. domains might not need to be but it can't hurt I think. You also, in case the docs wheren't clear, need to do a standard vadddomain on your default-domain. The configure option is only used during authencation. Phil Wall

No, Courier-IMAP uses libvpopmail.a to handle relaying. If you have compiled Courier-IMAP without authdaemon and with ONLY authvchkpw, IMAP before POP will work.

OK One problem at a time
I've been struggling with this for over a week, I don't understand why it's not working, but nothing my machine does seems to be the norm. At this point I cannot relay messages out. I use courier IMAP and vpopmail and of course qmail. From what I gather, when a user authenticates through IMAP, vpopmail should lock ~vpopmail/etc/open.smtp and add the login users' IP to the environment and opens relaying for the specific user. This does not seem to work correctly, it errors out with the basic (that host isn't in my relay hosts file) message. It seems that vpopmail isn't doing what it was touted to do. I've used the --enable-roaming-users=y configure option and have changed the imapd config file in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/ the AUTHMODULES="authdaemon" and the authdaemonrc file has authmodulelist="authvchkpw authshadow authpwd". I can authenticate through courier-imap no problem, I can't send any mail through the virtual domain ... I have tried setting the SMTP server to the main domain name that qmail reflects through most of its /var/qmail/control/ files such as defaultdomain etc. Is there something I should pay close attention to in the /var/qmail/control/ directory? locals, virtualdomains etc..? _please_ help me I'm almost ready to call uncle on this.

One question. Do you run Qmail-Admin, and if so, can you log into qmailadmin with [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or do you run SQWebmail, and if so, can you log in as [EMAIL PROTECTED] What needs to occur here, is narrowing it down to whether this is a pop3 daemon issue, or a problem with the vchkpw authentication not taking place. Sqwebmail can be set up to use vchkpw for authentication, and QmailAdmin will use vchkpw by default. If neither of those work, you might want to start over because something was definitily missed. Are you storing user info in mySQL or CDB? Dallas
RE: OK One problem at a time
Please search the mailing list. This doesn't work with authdaemon. You have to compile it without authdaemon and with authvchkpw.

Every successful pop3 login, will update the RELAY table in mysql. I wouldnt do it any other way. I never had any luck wit the open.smtp file either.. thats why I changed. It's also very simple to migrate a CDB database of users over to mysql. You would just have to reconfigure vpopmail with mysql support. If this is not a production server, it's even a stronger reason to switch. Just my opinion. Dallas

Ken, This is coming up so often now, it might be useful to put up a link on the vpopmail page called "Notes on using courier-imap with vpopmail and roaming users". It could have this information in it: To get courier-imap to allow "roaming users" with vpopmail, 3 things need to happen: 1. You cannot use authdaemon. Compile courier-imap with --without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw. 2. Courier-imap's configure script does not properly detect that libvpopmail has roaming users support. To force this, do `export CFLAGS="$MYFLAGS -DHAVE_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY"` before running configure. 3. Courier-imap's couriertcpd and tcpserver should run as the same user if they both will be doing roaming users. This is so that the open-smtp file has correct ownership afte a relay has been opened. If you are only authenticating vpopmail users, you should run couriertcpd as -user=vpopmail and -group=vchkpw. You'll need to add these options to imapd.rc and imapd-ssl.rc after couriertcpd is called. If you are authentication other users, you should probably run both tcpserver and couriertcpd as root (default for couriertcpd). Regards, Bill Shupp

RE: OK One problem at a time
Well I had to delete the dir that courier got compiled to for one reason or another. Anyway, now after the rebuild, i can log in. Now the open-smtp files are being created in the ~vpopmail/etc/ dir and all files in there are owned by vpopmail.vchkpw. It still responds with the relay problem. What does vpopmail do with the open-smtp file? Does it append to the tcp.smtp file and make a cdb out of it on the fly? And where should I have my run script for qmail-smtp tcpserver -x point to? /home/vpopmail/etc/? or just /etc/? I've tried both to no avail. -Original Message- From: Bill Shupp [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: November 21, 2001 1:23 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: OK One problem at a time >Shouldn't have to, but if it's not working then yes.

Installing TMDA with vpopmail
Greetings: I've set up a brief tutorial for installing TMDA with vpopmail at: http://www.visca.com/tmda/tmda_vpop.html "On OpenBSD 2.8 I have tmda-0.41 running with "vanilla" qmail (no patches or addons, installed as per Life with qmail) and vpopmail-4.9.10 (./configure --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-relay-clear-minutes=180). This document describes an installation and configuration of TMDA for which you can assign different incoming and outgoing files, pending directories and log files to different users in the same virtual domain, so, for example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] has his own configuration file (.tmdarc-gens) and [EMAIL PROTECTED] has hers (.tmdarc-minda)."

quick hack of a qmail-local replacement
hey, I took vdelivermail.c and made a quick and dirty qmail-local replacement. Here is the code http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/vqmaillocal.c Compile it like vdelivermail cp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-local /var/qmail/bin/qmail-local.bak cp vqmaillocal /var/qmail/bin/qmail-local Then I sent a test email and it made it to the users Maildir/new file. hehe, cool. That's all it does, doesn't check anything else or handle any other things. proof of concept i suppose. Might be a nice addition to 5.1 devel version for next week. Ken Jones
open-smtp files
Heya guys.. Im having a similar problem to another thread currently on this list. I have done extensive research on the problem (both in the web and the archives for this list) and still dont seem to have it solved: Im trying to configure a pop after smtp on my redhat box. I had installed qmail as per the LWQ, and have vpopmail 4.9.10 on the system. POP has been working fine for quite some time, but Ive never been able to get the relay to work for my virtual domains (its never been a priority until recently). Relaying does work fine with the IP in the /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb Anyways, Ive tried dozens of different scripts for qmail-smtp (including both of the ones from the LWQ and vpopmail FAQ) without success. Vpopmail was configured for roaming users and with the cdb file for /etc/ (instead of ~/vpopmail/etc/). I've verified that vpopmail is looking for /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb in vpopmail's config.h (and is configured for roaming users). Now I've recently realized that the ~/vpopmail/etc/open-smtp files are being created as root with 644 permissions. I do see new open-smtp.tmp files upon a user's successful login, but they are 0 byte files. I suspect the problem lies here. Is that true, and how do I go about fixing that? Thanks in advance. --Photocon Conrad Hunziker III www.nightskyent.com
clearopensmtp
Well as you can probably tell from the annoyingly crazy posts coming from me lately, I've been having trouble with qmail/vpopmail/courier setup, now it's a thing of the past and I'd like to thank you all for your help. Some misguided, and some which hit the nail on the head. The one last bit that I don't like is that the vpopmail FAQ states that ~vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp should be run every hour (suggested crontab entry -- 40 * * * *) though I find that the roaming users option only works if I run this thing every minute, I assume that it's clearopensmtp that makes the cdb files in order to handle relaying. Is this type of operation normal? Or is vpopmail supposed to run the util on its own to update the /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb file? I find finding good docs on these packages hard to find, I think that I'll leave this production server alone and play with the innards a bit so I understand them better and maybe take it upon myself to write better documentation... no offense to Ken, the fact that I went completely bannanas with one (ok 2) packages seems to generally be impossible to me. So there I've said my piece... I feel better. Dan
quota problem of vpopmail4.9.10
hi, I have read the mail list about the quota of vpopmail4.9.10,but it seems no full answer.I have installed vpopmail4.9.10.Before compiled it ,i had configured with --enable-hardquota=100 option.I can use vsetuserquota to change person's quota too.But i found that when my mail box had already execeed the quota,I still can send and receive mails.Why? what's wrong with my vpopmail4.9.10? Or it is a bug? Thanks for your any good hits. ¡¡[EMAIL PROTECTED] ¡¡2001-11-22

Re: quota problem of vpopmail4.9.10
vpopmail 4.9.10 is no longer supported. You'll need to upgrade to vpopmail-5.0 and provide detailed and complete explainations of your installation and testing procedure before your results will be meaningful in any way. My guess is that you are testing quota's by sending emails that are less than 1,000 bytes or you botched your installation in some way.

Should I just use a cron job to create tcp.smtp.cdb?
As the subject states.. either vpopmail or courier is successfully writing to the ~vpopmail/etc/open-smtp file, and now I have an open-smtp.cdb file as well, though I cannot imagine how qmail-smtp would know to check that specific file. Am I missing something obvious? Everything works hunky dory thanks to Bill Shupp's suggestions on using courier, but I am still plagued with the relay problem. (a virtual account can actually pick up mail now :) Dan

I feel better. I have to say that I find statements like these utterly frustrating. If you want to complain that software is lacking documentation, or that it makes you go bananas, please make sure that it's software that you have PAID someone to complain about, and complain to them. MANY of us have spent a lot of time helping to further the work that Inter7 and (and others before them) have done. Sometimes to satisfy our own needs, sometimes simply because it's interesting and we want to spend time on it. If you can't make it work, even after asking for assistance on these lists, you'll have to figure it out for yourself or pay for commercial support (which is available). Otherwise, you'll probably be happier with a commercial product, not GPL software (which comes with NO WARRANTY). Statements like these damage your credibility, and lessen the chance of getting assistance on later posts. Regards, Bill Shupp
