Re: [vchkpw] Re: Qmailadmin feature request
If djb doesn't want to improve qmail with all of those patches et al, then what's stopping us to write new MTA based on qmail design?

Patches should be used on an as-needed basis, not simply because they exist.

[vchkpw] vpopmail/qmail + non virtualdomain aliases/forwards
Hi there, I'm administrating hosting server with over 50 virtual domains and I want a signle account to receive the mails sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (e.g. to receive the mails sent to: abuse@domain1, [EMAIL PROTECTED]) The only solution I am aware of is to make .qmail-abuse in every domain dir, but then the postmaster users will be able to delete those forwards using vpopmail frontend. I've tried to put .qmail-abuse in /var/log/qmail/alias - it didn't worked for me. I've also searched the archive of this list and google, but I was not able to find anything usefull nothi found... Any ideas or/and references? Stratsimir Kolchevski

Looks like a shared object isn't loaded (libmysqlclient.so.10). Read the man page for 'ldconfig'. You'll want to run it with -m, otherwise you'll throw away all of your other shared object paths when you load a new one. -- Jesse Guardiani, Systems Administrator WingNET Internet Services, P.O.

RE: [vchkpw] authdaemond
Alternativley, do a ./configure --help. If I remember.. it's just --disable-authdaemon and --enable-vchkpw, but I'm not positive on that so check the install docs and try a ./configure --help for all the switches. -Clayton -Original Message- From: Jesse Guardiani [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 07, 2003 8:25 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] authdaemond On Friday 07 February 2003 11:18, Ajai Khattri wrote: > Its been awhile since I setup qmail+vpopmail+courier but I recently > had to do this on a new server.

[vchkpw] some bug vopmail/qmailadmin with plaintext enabled
hello, maybe it was reported earlier, then sorry for your time ;) if we use vpopmail with plaintext passwords enabled and some user changes his password to string which contains ':' symbol - qmailadmin doesn't list users after that account. vpopmail version: 5.2.1 qmailadmin version: 1.0.6 regards, m

RE: [vchkpw] Why hide ~vpopmail/lib ?
It's a security concern. If you compiled it with MySQL support, you can run strings against the file and get the username and password you used for the MySQL connection. Just run the courier-imap configure with --disable-root-check Also, these questions have been answered in the past. The mailing list is a great source of information.
