[vchkpw] Logging Messages
Whenever someone logs on I get logging messages. Do I have to re-compile to get rid of these messages?

Yes, the level of logging is a #define in the config.h file. The configure script sets the variable and value. Then compiling builds it into each program (that needs it). This goes along with the philosophy that by compling in configuration values, we save time on parsing a config file for every transaction, and we simplify administration by not having a config file to break :) Ken Jones
[vchkpw] Best way to remove periodically trash content
Hi all, I'm using qmail+vpopmail. I want to give my users teh choice to remove periodically their trash content. What is the best way to do this? A root crontab? Anyone can help me?

[vchkpw] tcprules: fatal: unable to create /etc/tcp.smtptmp
Logging to pop3 server, sometimes, i have this error: tcprules: fatal: unable to create /etc/tcp.smtptmp.18541: access denied-ERR aack, child crashed I've noticed this behaviour when telnetting to localhost port 110 and trying a pop3 authentification. What is it? How to fix it? Thanks.

That's why I put the tcp.smtp files under /home/vpopmail/etc so the vpopmail user has permissions to write to those files. Otherwise, it requires root access to write to the /etc directory Ken Jones
[vchkpw] vpasswd and qmail assign

So, I guess the question is this: does a solution like qmail/vpopmail/qmail-scanner assemble the email before it drops it into the virtual user's mailbox? Seems like it *would* but I haven't looked much into it. Look out for micro-spam...coming at us in small bits ;)

[vchkpw] --enable-qmail-ext=y|n ??
I am having problems with people not being able to unsubscribe from the mail lists. They get errors that the mailbox does not exist. I know this should probably go to the ezmlm list.

>That's why I put the tcp.smtp files under /home/vpopmail/etc >so the vpopmail user has permissions to write to those files. >Otherwise, it requires root access to write to the /etc directory >Ken Jones i'm a newbie so forgive my elementary questions. I've just configured vpopmail with roaming users support. My qmail-smtpd/run script is like so: QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g qmaild` MAXSMTPD=`head -1 /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` if [ -z "$QMAILDUID" -o -z "$NOFILESGID" -o -z "$MAXSMTPD" ]; then echo QMAILDUID, NOFILESGID, or MAXSMTPD is unset in echo $0 exit 1 fi QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl" export QMAILQUEUE exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 2000 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c "$MAXSMTPD" \ -u "$QMAILDUID" -g "$NOFILESGID" 0 smtp rblsmtpd \ -r bl.spamcop.net \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 as u see i'm using /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb as Ken correctly stated. Now...if i modify the script setting using /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtpd.cdb instead of /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb and i do qmailctl start, my smtp server starts..but refuses connections on port 25 ! Wonder i made some mistakes. What can it be? How should i generate tcp.smtp.cdb in /home/vpopmail/etc/ since it is not created during installation? I just touched it and set vpopmail ownership. Another question: there is a delay between pop3 authentification and roaming user permit to relay? Anyone have an hint? :) Thanks, Luc

Ok, i got the point. The clearopensmtp executable is owned by vpopmail, correctly but i don't know why, when i run it the /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb is chowned to root. I had clearopensmtp in the crontab for root, as INSTALL suggested. I modified the entry the crontab entry to su vpopmail -c "/home/vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp" 2>& and now the file keep correct permissions and everything work fine. I still have the problem if i launch it from console. Well..i don't know. But at least is working now :) Luc
