Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail : forwarding a catch-all to an external address
Hello Jonas, Jonas Pasche wrote: Hi Jan, I've asked this same question before, but I haven't received an answer/solution yet. The following problem occurs when a catch-all should be forwarded to an external address : The email is only delivered locally to the catch-all account.

Sure, but I don't think that's a good place for the code. I think a PHP script would be much more appropriate for general filter creation. I'm surprised no-one has created one yet. But, the problem is that you've got to have a way to make sure that the filters are letting mail through. Either that, or you've got to create your filters in a way that is foolproof (like, making sure the folder actually exists before allowing the user to make a filter that drops mail there. Or, making sure a defunct filter rule is deleted when the user deletes a folder in their webmail client.) With that in mind, it makes a lot of sense to put this functionality in the webmail client.

Personally, I don't think the sqwebmail code for doing maildrop filters is
all that good. I think Mr. Sam designed the maildrop rule portion of
sqwebmail for people like him (and us) -- sysadmins. The average user is

Correct -- this way, we can get a list of the folders. I'm not certain if
we can tie into the folder deletion routines of squirrelmail, but we sure as
hell can put the delivery instructions inside "exception { }" so if the
folder does go away, the mail will fall through and get picked up the the
default delivery line :)

Huh? sqwebmail uses maildrop. maildrop is server side. What are you talking about?

I agree. It stinks. However, it can be improved.
My point was that the code for setting up maildrop filters is in the right
place. It's in sqwebmail, and as such it can be integrated with the setup and
removal of folders in sqwebmail.
But, of coarse, you might run into someone deleting a folder with IMAP.
Maybe a better solution would be to create a simple maildrop rule creation
script that makes use of the exception {} clause. Then, when a filtering
rule becomes defunct, we could display it grayed out or something to visually
show that it's defunct. Or maybe run a cron script that tests and deletes
defunct rules every few days or so.

Don't see why not. You can always write a new API function if it doesn't let
you do it with the current API. The squirrelmail folks aren't likely to spit
in the face of a decent feature.

[vchkpw] vconvert
Hello, all. I am successfully running a qmail, Courier-IMAP, vpopmail(v 5.3.19), MySql (compiled with --enable-many-domains=y), and squirrelmail installation. I want to use vconvert to convert a shadow password file into a MySql DB. The docs on this procedure are a little skimpy so I hope someone will confirm a couple of things for me. First, does it work, and can I be secure that I won't hose my current DB? Second, what is the exact syntax to convert all the users in the shadow password file into the DB with the proper x.com extention? Thanks for the help, all. -- Regards, Kenneth D.

Your test mailcomes from the same domain that makes trouble, so qmail cannot send abounce and will deliver it to the postmaster. If the postmaster addresspoints to this address, too, you'll have a triple bounce, and qmail willdiscard it as it doesn't find a valid address to deliver the mail or abounce message.> I did also notice that it> says> > uid 500 for one and 510 for the other.

The second message is generated by UID, which isprobably the qmail-queue user. Check your /etc/passwd to be sure.Jonas
[vchkpw] Small patch
I created a small patch for a situation I ran into. I'm on a system
where I have both system-users and virtual domains and noticed that
successfull logins of system users weren't logged. The patch was
created on 5.3.7.

Johnson Your shadow file won't contain the domain information will it? I had this same scenario when converting from a sendmail install to qmail/vpopmail/mysql. I didn't use vconvert or http://www.enderunix.org/vpwd2sql/. I have a three step process that worked very well for me if : a - you have a list of domains. b - you know what users belong to what domain. I can detail it off-list if you're interested. Jason

[vchkpw] accept selected mails
Hi, I am using vpopmail + qmail on a test system. Now for user [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want to accept mails only from email addresses given in file accept_only.dat.

No need to switch; you can use both techniques at once, thus allowing clients to use whichever they want. Jonas

If it changed in the between, all newly created files have been installed into that new location. > Also should the tcpserver file be /etc/tcp.smtp or > /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp ? Both locations will work fine, but vpopmail will need root access if you want to use the /etc location. > And address extensions=OFF as shown above, will it mean I won't be able to use > .qmail-payal-linux kind of addresses? No; these addresses will be handled by qmail itself _before_ vpopmail drops in (through being called out of .qmail-default) and work in either case. Jonas

Re: [vchkpw] POP before SMTP
Sorry about the personal reply, I didn't mean to be rude. Yes, the POP connection did originate from the same address as SMTP, and I used to cdbdump to check tcp.smtp.cdb. I found out today that Telia actually goes through Safepages, and Safepages blocks everything on port 25 to any server other than their own (217.127.146.11). After I was told that, I verified it by dialing into one of their dialups and doing a port scan of our server... 25 was the only open port that didn't show up in the scan. The good news is that POP before SMTP works beautifully for everyone else except those who go through Safepages (or have port 25 blocked). So as an easy work around I added mail.medzip.net pointing to 217.127.146.11 (medzip.net is another domain we have, I'll be changing the pointer to something.powercalling.net after we transfer the authority for the domain). For our normal users, they'll continue using POP before SMTP with the address mail.powercalling.net pointing to our server (65.243.94.6). Obviously, this will keep spammers out since only those on the trusted IP range for Safepages can use the pointer to 217.127.146.11 (others outside will get a no relay error), and only our users who authenticate first can use our servers.

Re: [vchkpw] Password fail with specific MUA (Mail.app)
Actually I think this error is related to the version of vpopmail you are using. Maybe try upgrading.

[vchkpw] NFS shared
Hello All, If I'm going to install a couple of mailservers(vpopmail+qmail) and use an NFS server for storage, is the Maildir the only directory that will be shared by the mail servers. I think the tcp.smtp.cdb also needs to be shared. Any others files? TIA
