Impossible. It's a one way encryption. Decryption is not possible.

To encrypt passwords using PHP, e.g. to write them to a database (like if
you're using vpopmail w/ MySQL and want users to change the password from
your web site) you can use the following code:
,-= [ adopted from vpopmail-source ] =-
25) $retval = $rand - 26 + 'A';
if ($rand > 51) $retval = $rand - 52 + '0';
if ($rand == 62) $retval = ';';
if ($rand == 63) $retval = '.';
return($retval);
}
function mkpasswd3(&$clearpass, &$crypted) {
srand ((double)microtime()*100);
$salt = '$1$';
for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) $salt .= randltr();
$salt .= '0';
$crypted = crypt($clearpass, $salt);
if (strlen($crypted) > 0) return(true);
return(false);
}
?>
`-=
and call the functions like in this example:
,-= [ ] =-
$clearpass = 'testtest'
$crypted = '';
if (mkpasswd3($clearpass, $crypted)) printf("%s -> %s\n", $clearpass, $crypted);
else echo("Ohoh");
`-=
To figure out if MD5-support is compiled into your PHP execute this code:
,-= [ test for MD5 encryption support ] =-
`-=
> i install it with clear password option also.
You won't need to decrypt if clear-password is enabled. The clear password
then will be already present.
But you'll have to remember updating encrypted _AND_ clear password if you
use above PHP functions!!!

Re: [vchkpw]passwrod encrypted method
sir
thanks for the reply.
i follow ur instructions and generate different encrypted password
values.but that encrypted password is not matched with oldone encrypt by
vpopmail (it is correct or not)tell me about this also,
i try it with this pattern.
$clearpass = 'zafar'
> $crypted = '';
and resulted encrypted passwd paste on the vpasswd file in the respected
domain file.but user login it with the old password i overwrite the
encrypted and clear passwd.but it can't work.
plz tell me which file it use for getting password, and where i change
must,will change confirm.
plz tell me .
thanks for the again reply.
ok wait for ur reply.

Encrypted passwords will differ each time, as the 'SALT' is different each time. Encrypting the password with same SALT will produce same encrypted string. But as salt is chosen (more or less) randomly each time you call the functions this will produce different output patterns. > and resulted encrypted passwd paste on the vpasswd file in the respected > domain file.but user login it with the old password i overwrite the > encrypted and clear passwd.but it can't work. Than the new password ain't used. If something would be wrong with encryption functions the user would _not_ be able to log in, neither with new nor with old password. If user can still log in after you've tried to set the new password you were not successful in setting the new password. Did you only set the password in 'vpasswd' file or did you recreate 'vpasswd.cdb' after changing the password? vmkpasswd $domain should be your command. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuthermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

'Something else' is the wrong doing. You should do exactly what vpopmail expects you to do: - change the (encrypted and plain text) password in 'vpasswd'. - run vmkpasswd $domain (substitute '$domain' with name of the domain you're processing the vpasswd file for) The former will make changes in the file readable by human beings like you, the latter will "transport" the changes to binary file (vpasswd.cdb) used by 'vchkpw' for authenticating user. You will _have to_ do both steps, unless you're familiar with using cdb library and changing vpasswd.cdb directly by yourself (I assume you're not). So again: assuming domain name is 'test.com' and username to change the password for is 'user' you'll have to change the line corresponding to 'user' in file '~vpopmail/domains/test.com/vpasswd' and set the new password, both encrypted and plain text. Then you'll have to execute 'vmkpasswd test.com' for changes getting manifested in '~vpopmail/domains/vpasswd.cdb' which is used by 'vchkpw' to do (normal) POP3 authentication. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuthermailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Many thanks to Steve and Bill for providing me with a better understanding of when MySQL might be a better solution than using CDB. Considering I am not a DBA, nor do I have any working experience with MySQL, I'd rather not have to use it at the moment if I can get away with it.

Problem with qmail-scanner is that it does not allow the Spam preferences to be controlled on a per domain or per user basis.

RE: [vchkpw] Vpopmail/qmail spam filter using SpamAssassin (and other stuff)
Not without doing some source code hacking of qmailadmin and/or the vpopmail programs (of course, I don't know qmailadmin very well, so there might be an option to run other programs at create-time, which would allow you to run a shell script or something to create it, but I doubt that such a feature exists). You can do domain-level filtering because of the way vpopmail works. You just use this in the .qmail-default file (I'd suggest with the -S option, and use it as a 'stop processing' usage, rather using -X and -C). This can be effective if you're not worried about false-positives thrown out with the trash (so, I don't really recommend using it in this way :)) Example .qmail-default: -- # drop mail if its spam | /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/spam-filter.pl -S # if it gets this far, its non-spam # so just allow vpopmail to do its thing | /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox -- Also note that I said this was not designed for production. I mean, I believe its stable, but the pure overhead of starting up the perl script on each incoming email (because of the time it takes Mail::SpamAssassin to load) can be quite high, and you need to be sure you're server can handle it (my p3 GHz w/ 512mb takes about 1-3 second to do it all, so that I can live with. One of my development machines, an old p2 200 w/128mb takes about 8-12 seconds to run it, and 90% cpu usage -- that's something you can't have on a production box... But then again, that's a pretty weak 'production' box if it was one). This is the same problem users that use the 'spamassassin' command line program have (and qmail-scanner too, though perhaps to a lesser extent, because Mail::SpamAssassin is what takes so long to load). The spamassassin people 'solved' this problem by creating the spamd/spamc combo, spamd is the 'spamassassin' command line program, but it goes into daemon mode and runs all the time. Then spamc is a C program that essentially pipes the incoming mail to the already-running spamd and reads back the results. The likely way I'll solve my problem is that I'll allow their spamd to run in daemon mode, but then I'll use spam-filter.pl to connect to it and send it data, rather then spamc. We'll see, maybe I'll look into that solution later today. P.S., glad you enjoy it. I'm quite glad to have it, because my spam to real-mail ratio is about 100:1 (I know, very sad...

Hey all, I'd like to have a user whose email is redirected to /dev/null, and who has an auto-responder (vacation message). I'm not quite sure how to go about this, can someone tell me if it's possible, and maybe tell me how to do it, or point me to a link if it's documented already...
