Jeff,

That sounds very interesting in regards to a project im currently working 
on, do you know if it would be possible to setup with smtproutes:

1. if it find virus in a mail, instead of relaying to original 
[EMAIL PROTECTED], it transfers it to another server/domain/account 
(fx. setup a vpopmail account on the relay server called [EMAIL PROTECTED])
2. same as above, just for spam mails instead (spamassasin score >= 5) and 
to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

3. if you just relay & scan why dont you use Messagewall?

4. OT: does anyone know if ClamAV works with Squid? (viruscanning http 
transfers)

It works perfect.  You scan mail prior to the queue stage, and if you
configure it right, everything is hidden in the headers.  I scan it this way
for over 5000 people and most of them don't even realize its hidden in the
headers.
This also lets you do it on a separate machine, so if you want to hand it
off to a machine with /var/qmail/control/smtproutes you can.
qmail-scanner is not as hard to setup as it appears.  It requires the
QMAILQUEUE patch.

Obviously fastforward wasn't able to lookup the alias and find a forward
rules, else vpopmail wouldn't have been invoked.
So obviously you've set up the alias in a wrong way.

Why don't you simly stick with dot-qmail files in
~vpopmail/domains/ as intended unless you _know_ what you're
doing?

I don't see a single advantage in what you're trying to do over simply
putting

&[EMAIL PROTECTED]

into ~vpopmail/domains/test.com/.qmail-root

This way qmail-local already handles delivery, no additional program is
invoked -> no fork()'s, spawn()'s or exec()'s, more foolproof than
fastforward+vdelivermail, easier to maintain (via qmailadmin).

So either get a clue about how qmail works and you'll find out how to
invoke fastforward (albeit unnecessary and superfluous) or stick with
native qmail-local+vpopmail+qmailadmin solution.

P.S.: Top posting (answer above question) is the most efficient way of
  _not_ getting many answers. Think about it 
P.P.S.: No, using Outlook is no excuse for this. Only because this is default
  in Lookout this doesn't make it better (readable).
P.P.P.S.: A reply indicator of only 'R' isntead of 'Re' is uncommon and might
  destroy threading and "this is an answer" detection in some MUAs,
  especially if "References" headers are stripped as well. Try to get used
  to using 'Re' as zillion of other people too; makes life easier for all
  of us.

They're retrieving the mail via POP after it's been delivered to our mail system, so 
there's no RCPT for them to use, unfortunately.

Well, the problem started when I moved from using a .qmail file for each user (which 
was calling Maildrop to deliver mail) to using vdelivermail. So I was pretty sure it 
had something to do with vpopmail..

Thanks for your input! I'll see if they can alias systems.com on their side while I 
try to figure out a better way to generate a Delivered-To header..

Nice, that looks like a very nice toaster (so nice im going to dedicate a 
machine to testing it out), only 2 comments

1. when installing SpamAssasin you should always install Razor2 first 
(spamassasin will automaticaly use it, and razor is great for those clever 
spammers that uses tricks) 
http://razor.sourceforge.net

2. its a pretty old file, a few of the titles have new versions out, so you 
should check every site before downloading.

[vchkpw] Return usage problem

[David du SERRE-TELMON]

Hi,

I've got problems with some users mailboxs.
usage give by vuserinfo command return a different value than real folder
size (du).

Here, folder have a size of 1.9 Mo.
vuserinfo return than 80% of the mailbox is use, the quota is 20 Mo.

I think there is a problem in maildirsize file. Can I delete it ? Or how can
I build a new one ?

Re: [vchkpw] Return usage problem

[David du SERRE-TELMON]

I answer to my own problem :
I've remove the maildirsize, and do vuserinfo on mailbox user which have
rebuild the file.

Someone can say me if it's normal ? Can I avoid that ?

I have a setup that my users are happy with. 

In short, this is what it does...
It filter out spam to the users .spam directory with a sitewide ruleset
It lets the users toogle filtering on or off from qmailadmin
It doesn't use qmail-scanner   

Install spamassasssin, according to the manual, perform the tests to
make sure it is working.

Install a recent qmailadmin (>= 1.0.21) , compile it with the following
options, among the other ones.

Install a recent version of promail (3.22 or later) or you will notice
that the files insade the maildirs looks sorta strange... erlier
procmail doesnt use the maildir name-style format of the files.

(watch out for lne wrapping here...)
--enable-modify-spam=y \
--enable-spam-command='|preline /usr/bin/spamc -e /usr/bin/procmail -mp
../procmailfilter'

The recent versions of qmailadmin has a "detect-spam" option which the
user can toogle on/off as they like. 

~vpopmail/domains/example.net/user/.qmail will look like this when
detect-spam is checked;

|preline /usr/bin/spamc -e /usr/bin/procmail -mp ../procmailfilter'


create a decent procmailrc file and put it in the path defined withteh
--enable-spam-command option. in this example it would be;

~vpopmail/domains/example.net/procmailfilter


# Example of a global procmailfilter for qmail-vpopmail 
# -
# 
# This file should be be named as stated below
# ~/vpopmail/domains//procmailfiler
#
# This procmailfilter is supposed to be invoked
# from ~vpopmail/domains///.qmail
#
# The .qmailfile should contain the following line
# |preline /usr/bin/procmail -mp ../procmailfilter
# 
# It is possible to make the line default for any
# .qmail files  created by users through qmailadmin

SHELL="/bin/bash"

# Verbose mode (yes|no)
# If set to "yes" you qmail-send log

[vchkpw] POP authentication error

[matiaslambert]

Hi,
I use vpopmail in a Debian server.
I have no problem until yesterday night when I recompile vpopmail for log 
all authentications.
My configuration string is
./configure --enable-defaultquota=5000S,500C --enable-popuser=vpopmail 
--enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcp.smtp --enable-clear-passwd=y 
--enable-vpopgroup=vchkpw --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-logging=y
UID for vpopmail user is 1009
GID for vchkpw group is 1001
( that was working ok until yesterday ) 

Now when some user authenticate pop some vchkcw process never go down.
And then all users are rejected with the this error: File busy try again 
later!
I check it with strace and it say that:
strace -p 3128

wait4(-1, 0xbcb8, 0, NULL)  = -1 ECHILD (No child processes) 

When clearopensnmp start it have the same problem ( the same trace too ).
And it have an error in the UID and GUI of open-smtp ( it was ok after 
install the software ).

Qmail, or vpopmail, or whatever lost the From: and replaced the [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
with [EMAIL PROTECTED] 

This only stopped when I replaced vqmaillocal with the original qmail-local. 

What happend? 

I'm running qmail, vpopmail, sqwebmail, on a RedHat 8 box. 

Sorry for the long post...

I've never replaced qmail-local with vqmaillocal on my servers.  Is 
this standard procedure?  If not, perhaps you should stick with 
qmail-local.

After reading README.vqmaillocal and looking at the date on 
vqmaillocal.c, I'd say that it's currently an incomplete replacement 
for qmail-local.

Re: [vchkpw] Re: POP authentication error

[Chris Pugh]

Mat,

All I can say is that I tried this on Deb Woody and 
ran into all sorts of authentication problems ( some
caused no doubt by my own inexperience ). 

I ended up using dpkg / apt to remove all the Deb
software versions then compiled and installed qmail,
tcpserver, vpopmail, qmailadmin etc, from source.
With everything then in the default locations, and no
Deb Woody stuff getting in the way,way, the problems
just seemed to evaporate...

Probably the packages installed themselves into various Debian-specific 
locations and then conflicted with the install from source.

For important stuff, I find it generally better to always install from 
source and use the package systems just to manage the underlying OS.

[vchkpw] Moving a virtual domain

[Dallas Wright]

Hi
 
I haven't done anything yet, and I was hoping to 
get a guide or a hint at least as to the bast way to move accounts from one 
virtual domain to another. I have host.org, and I want all its accounts to now 
be on newhost.net.
 
Thanks
Dallas

[vchkpw] Compile error - version 5.2.1

[Vinod Kurup]

I get the following error when I try to compile on Debian GNU/Linux 
i686.

root:/usr/local/src/vpopmail-5.2.1# make
...
gcc -I. -Icdb  -g -O2 -Wall -c vconvert.c
In file included from vconvert.c:35:
vmysql.h:53:22: missing terminating " character
vmysql.h:60:35: missing terminating " character
make[2]: *** [vconvert.o] Error 1
Looks like vmysql.h is missing a backslash on line 54 and 58. I see 
that this is still present in 5.3.20

[Matias G. Lambert \( OSInet \)]

Thanks for all the advice,
I don't know what happened, but I installed all again ( from source ) and it
start working.
I tried to install with the Debian precompiled packaged ( with apt-get ), Is
really good, it have no problem, but I couldn't import all my
virtualdomains, users and emails, any way to do that???
What is the best way to backup or import/export all users information?
Thanks again.

Ken, please apply this patch to 5.3.20.  When can we expect the release 
of 5.3.21?  You've got a lot of patches in there, and it would be great 
if people could start testing them.  The last stable release, 5.2.1, 
was made over a year ago.  We've got a lot of improvements in the 5.3 
series and we're not far from having a stable release.
