[vchkpw] qmailadmin
i just installed qmailadmin 1.0.6 but i can't list the users on the domain anymore. "No users left to view, please return to the previous page" inter7 website states that it could be a vpopmail's clear password problem. i have went through all the users using vmoduser -C "" yet qmailadmin still can't show the users. anyone has a clue? sample line from vpasswd file === jinchin:hdT5yJdtGgb:1:0:Quek Jin Chin:/home/vpopmail/domains/mydomain.com/jinchin:20M:

Hi I added ywesee.com with vadddomain and [EMAIL PROTECTED] with vadduser. When I now try to send a message to any Email-address I get: sorry this host is not in my rcpt-list. Any ideas what I am doing wrong. Thanks for your help. Zeno
[vchkpw] Qmailadmin and AutoResponder
Hi, I have installed on my email server qmailadmin-1.0.6, vpopmail 5.3.9 and qmail 1.0.3. I would disable the autorespond feature in qmailadmin, so I've compiled it with these parameters: ./configure--enable-autoresponder-bin=n --enable-maxautoresponders=0 . but when i log in as normal user and i set the autoresponder, the program will create the files .qmail and vacation/message in the user directory, in according with the definitions of autoresponder. There is a way to turn off definitively this feature? I do not want autoresponders because many users in this system are subscribed to mailing-lists Thanks in advance Alessandro A.
[vchkpw] vadduser batch file
Hi, In testing a conversion from a system user sendmail/qpopper set up to a cdb vpopmail set up, I noticed if I tried to batch multiple 'vadduser' entries, it would sometimes fail writing the cdb file and would build a cdb with only the last few entries, and overwrite the live vpasswd.cdb file. This is obviously a problem :) Is there any way to safeguard against this? The plain text vpasswd file is unaffected, so any vpasswd/vadduser/vdeluser command subsequentially entered will rebuild the database properly, but we intend to have many batch entries later on to synchronize with another external database, and we dont want this happening in the middle of the day, even for a few minutes.. I could easily add a 'sleep x' statement in the batch file between commands, but for large batch entries, this would overlap with the next batch run, since we hope to run the sync once per minute. Also, what would be a safe value for 'x' if this was the only solution? Any suggestions on this? In responding, please keep in mind that we'd like to maintain CDB as opposed to external databases(we already have enough problems synchronizing the current DB2/MSSQL databases :). I'd like to avoid having to run an LDAP or MySQL server. Thanks in advance, - Andre Fortin, CCNA Systems Administrator Technician Persona Communications, Northern Division 500 Barrydowne Rd.

[vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile
I am using a qmail/vpopmail/courier-imap mail solution. After re-installing courier-imap, the first few times, imap sessions to work and authenticate, but after awhile, authentication fails and I get nothing but LOGIN FAILED messages in my maillog. A reboot of the server will fix it for a short time; however, it keeps happening. Has anyone had this occur before or have a possible solution? I am running these versions: FreeBSD 4.5-RELEASE Qmail - 1.03_1 vpopmail - 5.2 Courier-Imap - 1.5.3 Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks, Taylor Dondich

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile
Are you using authdaemon? I believe disabling auth daemon at compile time fixes the problem too. compile with: --without-authdaemon \ --with-vchkpw when compiling courier-imap. I don't use authdaemon, and I don't have any troubles. This is an on-going list discussion. On Monday 25 November 2002 11:11, Dzuy Nguyen wrote: > There is a bug in vchkpwd in vpopmail 5.2.1.

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile
authdaemond works for me, however IP Alias doesn't work since the IP information is passed via environment variables. The authdaemon protocol doesn't take into account any of the environment variables set by couriertcpd, so your missing some of the critical information. I've mentioned this on the courier list as well, however it didn't appear anyone cared... If you disable authdaemond (and have it fork/exec each login request), then it works fine. Its just not scalable (and I'm getting into that problem now when I hit about 20-25 authentications per second). Thanks, Brian > Are you using authdaemon?

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile
Yeah. I ran into the same problem. They/we should really include that in documentation somewhere. In fact, I get that problem with sqwebmail even if I DO disable authdaemon I'm not sure it's the same kind of issue though. But back to the reason I posted in the first place: I've seen plenty of people complain on the sqwebmail list that authdaemon croaks after a short time under high load. Using only the authvchkpw module and disabling authdaemon at compile time always fixed the problem. What versions are you running?

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile
You can disable it at runtime also. Just specify it in the AUTHMODULES variable in the .../etc/*.config files (mine is at "authvchkpw authpam") rather than "authdaemond". You don't have to go back and do a fresh compile. I was trying to use courier-imap 1.6.0, but I'm stuck at version 1.4.2. Under high loads, you *need* to have a pool of authentication servers. I also use MySQL so the database authentication needs to take place for every request. So some work needs to be done there, however I don't think its high on Sam's list. I may have to tackle it in the not too distant future, but I don't think my work would get incorporated into his distribution... Ken & Bill have been willing to take patches. Thanks, Brian > Yeah.

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile
Just out of curiosity, how many users does 20-25 authentications per second equate to for you? Thanks.

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile
I have just under 2000 domains. Not sure of the number of users per domain. There's a few thousand local email addresses also (using pam). Note that the high load is only at peak times. During most of the day I see around 2-4 per second.

Re: [vchkpw] courier-imap tends to stop authenticating after awhile
Okay, update to my problem. Due to suggestions, I have upgraded certain peices of software. I am now running: FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE Qmail 1.03_1 Vpopmail 5.3.9_1 SquirrelMail 1.2.8 Courier-Imap 1.5.3 All above programs have been installed from the ports tree in fbsd. Also due to suggestions, I have modifed the authdaemonrc file for courier-imap to the following: authmodulelist="authvchkpw authpam" I rebooted the server, and so far people are able to login, we'll see in about an hour if people can still continue logging in. Like I said, imap logins just fail after a certain amount of time. I'm also going to check if pop3 authentication fails as well. Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll keep you posted. Taylor Dondich

Thanks for all your responds, both personal and to the list, this gives me a great start and some great homework.

[vchkpw] courier-imap STILL stops authenticating after awhile
Well, I attempted to correct the issue; however, courier-imap still tends to muck up authentication after awhile (about an hour or so). Is there any way to have courier-imap give a bit more verbose error messaging. All I see is LOGIN FAILED. I don't know whhy. Also, people keep saying that there's supposed to be a /usr/local/libexec/courier-imap/authlib/authvchkpw file or something, I don't have that, but authentication works for AWHILE. Then it takes a dump. Anyone have any suggestions? :( Taylor
[vchkpw] A way to use mrtg with courier-imap and/or qmail w/ vpopmail?
Has anyone had any success stories in graphing out imap/pop3/smtp traffic with mrtg and what would be the best way of going along by it? I know inter7 came out with mrtg that does pop3 and other qmail graphing, but what about imap traffic? Like, the number of imap connections, etc etc. Taylor
