Re: [vchkpw] postgres

[charlieb]

I'm on vacation this week so replies will be spuratic.

The patches I submitted should allow postgres to work with the 5.3.24
vpopmail.  If it doesn't, please email me the errors you get.

I did test my patches on a development system.  Mail was delivered and I
was able to check my mail.

Thanks,
Charlie

Re: [vchkpw] Why support imap?

[Darcy Dueck]

sqwebmail supports POP3 just fine. It's like a normal POP3 client that 
"Leaves messages on server"

Darcy


It seems that the qmail, vpopmail, qmailadmin people tend to recommend 
squirrelmail and sqwebmail. However, these are both imap clients. Our 
initial reaction is to prefer (in order to save bandwidth, cpu cycles and 
disk space) pop3 and have users keep their mail folders on their local 
PC's. Why do you all like the imap web email clients? Are there any pop3 
only web email clients that you guys would recommend?

David,

Which version of vpopmail are you applying this to?

It sounds like you are patching a version that already has the seekable
patch in it... I think it was added to the code base for all version after
5.3.7(?).

The patch is only needed if you want to use a version older than that.

What do your MySQL tables look like?  What does a typical user entry 
look like?

Is this an issue of the old tables having encrypted passwords without 
cleartext equivalents?

#mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/courier-imap-imapd-ssl/env
#mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/courier-imap-imapd
#mkdir /var/qmail/supervise/courier-imap-pop3d-ssl

We can!  And I'd like to start the ball rolling by asking everyone on

Once we know what we have to start with, we can figure out what to do

[vchkpw] Detailed installation instructions on FreeBSD - attached

[Evren Yurtesen]

Here is the detailed installation instructions from my own installation on
FreeBSD!

Now for the people who has trouble, I will help as much as I can if there
are problems in these instructions.

I also think that this might be included in vpopmail distribution. I came
to 0.0.6 version of this document while fixing the mistakes in it though
:) I am almost certain that I eliminated all the mistakes I did.

Now my mail server has been working for 1 month with 8000 thousand users
and 600 domains. I know its not much but a good test platform. Nobody
complained about anything so far.

The document contains, installation of
vpopmail, qmailadmin, vqadmin, courier-imap, qmailmrtg, isoqlog,
smtp-auth-tls, blah blah :)

Vpopmail+FreeBSD with SSL/MySQL - Installation Instructions

V0.0.1  -   Initial Version
V0.0.2  -   Changed Courier-IMAP startup to Daemontools
V0.0.3  -   Added missing parts about Courier-IMAP Daemontools
integration
v0.0.4  -   Added more info about certificates...
v0.0.5  -   Changed patches required for SMTP-TLS-AUTH
Previous patches caused SIGBUS errors.
v0.0.6  -   Changed vchkpw smtp-auth stuff to be more secure



First of all, we will install apache13-modssl which is required for
use of utilities like Qmailadmin, Vqadmin and Sqwebmail.

#cd /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl
#make install && clean

Add to newsyslog.conf that we can rotate the apache logs.

/etc/newsyslog.conf additions...

#my additions
/var/log/httpd-access.log   640  1 500  * Z  /var/run/httpd.pid 1
/var/log/httpd-error.log640  1 500  * Z  /var/run/httpd.pid 1
/var/log/ssl_engine_log 640  1 500  * Z  /var/run/httpd.pid 1
/var/log/ssl_request_log640  1 500  * Z  /var/run/httpd.pid 1



Also make empty cgi-bin and data directories
#cd /usr/local/www
#rm cgi-bin
#mkdir cgi-bin
#rm data
#mkdir data

Next, we will install qmail, this is little bit tricky if you want
to authenticate some users (instead of apop etc.) before accepting smtp
deliveries and use ssl. We must patch qmail that it will authenticate users.
If you want to install a virus scanning program such as Amavis
then you should use WITH_QMAILQUEUE_PATCH=yes. 

#cd /usr/ports/mail/qmail
#make configure WITH_QMAILQUEUE_PATCH=yes

Then download the following patches

http://inoa.net/qmail/qmail-1.03-tls.patch
http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/dist/qmail-smtpd-auth-0.31.tar.gz

into /usr/ports/mail/qmail-tls/work/qmail-1.03

#cd work/qmail-1.03/
#fetch http://inoa.net/qmail/qmail-1.03-tls.patch
#fetch 
http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/dist/qmail-smtpd-auth-0.31.tar.gz
#tar zxvf qmail-smtpd-auth-0.31.tar.gz 
#mv qmail-smtpd-auth-0.31/* .

First apply the auth patch!!!

#patch < auth.patch 
#patch < qmail-1.03-tls.patch

The first part of starttls patch will fail but its ok.

#make clean
#cd ../..
#make install WITH_QMAILQUEUE_PATCH=yes && make clean

The mailer.conf should be changed so that the system programs will use qmail

#cp work/mailer.conf.sample /etc/mail/mailer.conf

Make a certificate:

#openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -days 3650 -out /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem 
-keyout /var/qmail/control/servercert.pem

then create /var/qmail/rc file (dont forget to chmod 755)

[vchkpw] Need advise on secondary mail server for backup purpose.

[Kuan Yik]

Hi,
 
I have already configured 2 MX record in 
DNS.
 
MX 10 mailserver1.mail.com
MX 20 mailserver2.mail.com
 
I want to setup a secondary mail server to catch 
all the email when the primary mail server goes down and when the primary mail 
server up again then the secondary mail server will flush all the email to the 
primary mail server again. Is that possible? Is 
it somehting to do use witl the qmial-remote?
 

Is there any useful link can help me on 
this?
 
Please 
advise.

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail+spamassassin+clamscan

[Adam Hooper]

Another method (for different needs, of course): On our site, we just 
put qmail-scanner in the qmail queue. All that needs to be done ("all?" 
I spent hours on this :P) is apply the QMAILQUEUE patch to qmail, and 
install qmail-scanner by following its instructions: 
http://qmail-scanner.sourceforge.net/

qmail-scanner works with spamassassin and clamscan and can do primitive 
attachment checks (i.e., "block all .exe/.bat/.vbs attachments"). The 
way we have it set up, it just puts an 'X-Spam-Status: Yes/No' in the 
message's header, and users can set their mail clients to use rules 
based on that.

The downside: If you're running a very large site and only expect a few 
people to use the virus-scanning abilities of spamassassin, you're going 
to be burning lots of processor cycles. Our site is relatively small and 
we need qmail-scanner anyway to block "dangerous" attachments, so the 
waste of CPU isn't an issue for us.

There was some discussion a while back about making SA work with vpopmail.

Most solutions I saw used .qmail-username or .qmail-default which wasn't the
right method for us. Below is a quick write up on how to use SA+clamscan
from a .qmail file in the users maildir. We also pull user preferences for
SA from SQL, so the line we use to call SA might not be what you want.
Delivery and hand off for scanning is handled by maildrop.
First and foremost, make certain that the user vpopmail has a valid shell...
this is very important as vdeliermail will run anything in the .qmail as the
user vpopmail, provided the application doesn't do a setuid/setgid, which
maildrop does not do. (That alone cost me 3 hours to troubleshoot.)
For each user you want to enable SA and virus scanning put the following in
a .qmail file in the users directory:
| /var/qmail/bin/preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop
/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/.mailfilter
Make sure that this file has been chmod'ed to 600 (u+rw) and is owned by
vpopmail:vchkpw otherwise it will not be run.
The .mailfilter listed above contains (some of this script has come from
another list member, but I forgot his name, if you contact me I will give
credit where credit is due), it must also be chmod'ed to 600 with owner
vpopmail:vchkpw :
import EXT

}
if ((/^X-Spam-Flag:.*YES/))

if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
`/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam;
/usr/sbin/chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw $VHOME/Maildir/.Spam`
}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Spam/"
}
# If it isn't Spam, then we scan for Virus if it is smaller than 2MB in
size... anything larger... they are on their own
if($SIZE < 200)
{
xfilter "/usr/home/vpopmail/domains/clamscan.sh"
}
if ((/^X-Virus-Status:.*INFECTED/))
{
`/bin/test -d $VHOME/Maildir/.Virus`
if ( $RETUNRCODE == 1 )
{
`/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $VHOME/Maildir/.Virus;

}
to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Virus/"
}
#If it isn't Spam or Virus, then deliver normally
to "$VHOME/Maildir/"
The specific lines of interest are the xfilter lines. We use spamc/spamd to
offload the very CPU intensive process of spam scanning to another machine
on the private network. That is what the -d directive is for which tells SA
which IP to connect to for spamd...
The clamscan.sh file is a wrapper for the clamscan binary. We need to do
this because of the incompatibility between how clamscan operates and how
maildrop expects an xfilter program to operate. maildrop expects any message
it sends out to an xfilter program to be returned to it via stdout. The
problem is that the clamscan binary only returns the results of the scan,
not the message, so we have to create a shell script to pass the altered
message back to maildrop via stdout, also we use the shell script to alter
the exit code of clamscan (0 if clean and 1 if infected) to be compatible
with what maildrop expects. maildrop expects the application to return a
exit code of 0, so we have to alter it.
You will need bash in order to use this.

RE: [vchkpw] ETRN / serialmail-AUTOTURN with vpopmail - How to ?

[Clayton Weise]

I think what needs to be understood here is that vpopmail, qmail, and
autoturn (serialmail) are not really all related.  The only common bond they
share is qmail itself.

qmail is the mail server that runs the show, and all it's doing is
delivering emails.  It decides how to, based on it's control files.  In this
case, we're talking about the rcpthosts (and possibly morercpthosts) and
virtualdomains control files.  As well as the /var/qmail/users/assign file,
which gets compiled into the /var/qmail/users/cdb file.  Here's the
breakdown of how delivery works with qmail and where autoturn or vpopmail
come into play.  It should help you to better diagnose where your problem is
coming from.

SMTP connection opens up to your server for a domain you handle, let's say,
example.com .  qmail-smtpd answers the smtp connection and email for
example.com.  It checks if example.com is in rcpthosts, if it is, it accepts
relay for it.  It then checks the smtproutes file for an artificial smtp
route, and then the virtualdomains file.  In the virtualdomains file you
have something that looks like this (if you're using vpopmail):

example.com:example.com

Seems simple enough.  The first part is the FQDN itself, the second part is
the user that it belongs to.  This user is defined in the
/var/qmail/users/assign file, but qmail actually reads the cdb file.  You
build the cdb file with the /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu program.  Inside your
assign file you have something that looks like this:

+example.com-:example.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/example.com:-::

The "+" in the begging signifies a catch-all account for the domain.  qmail
then looks in /home/vpopmail/domains/example.com for a .qmail-default file.
If it finds one, it delivers to whatever that file instructs.  This
typically will contain the following:

| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox

That command pipes it over to vdelivermail, which delivers the email..and
voila we have email.

Ok.. now where do we fit in serialmail?  Well, in the virtualdomains file,
instead of assigning the domain to the "example.com" user in the assign
file, we'll give it to autoturn so your virtualdomains file will look like
this instead:

example.com:autoturn-1.2.3.4

Notice how we've assigned it to autoturn, but a specific autoturn user
(1.2.3.4).  1.2.3.4 would be the IP address of the mail server that you're
holding email for.  This MUST be a static IP address.  Inside your assign
file, you have a line that looks like this for autoturn:

+autoturn-:qmaild:82:81:/var/qmail/autoturn:-::

That tells qmail that the autoturn user also is a "catch-all" user, and that
it lives in /var/qmail/autoturn.  qmail then takes the email destined for
example.com and tries to deliver it to /var/qmail/autoturn.  Inside this
folder, you'd create a .qmail-1:2:3:4 file that looks like this (note they
are colons and not periods in the file name):

./1.2.3.4/

This tells qmail that anything destined for the autoturn-1.2.3.4 user (aka,
anything for example.com) should be delivered to
/var/qmail/autoturn/./1.2.3.4/

The 1.2.3.4 directory is created with the /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake
program.  Just type:

/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake /var/qmail/autoturn/1.2.3.4

Then chown it as the qmaild user by doing:
chown -R qmaild:nofiles /var/qmail/autoturn/1.2.3.4

Hope that helps to clear things up.

Re: [vchkpw] Re: Need advise on secondary mail server for backup purpose.

[Kuan Yik]

yeah...think should work. I have shutdown the primary mailserver and the
message has gone into the secondary mail server. Think the message should be
in the qmiail queue now. And, I have make the primary mailserver up again,
but I am still waiting for the message from secondary mail server. So, is
there any command to flush or force the secondary mail server message from
the qmail queue?

Or any configuration file to customize it?

Thanks.

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail virus scanning - but per domain

[Mike Miller]

RAV Antivirus does it as well.  Again- commercial software.  They also have 
one of the best pieces of virus software around (Microsoft just bought most 
of the company- probably to try and put it into future windows versions).  
www.ravantivirus.com I think.  They have RAV for qmail.  Most packages like 
this are commercial- and if they are not, the virus scanners which they call 
are.

Our efilter program does this but it's a commercial product.
You can enable/disable virus scanning per domain.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail and openbsd

[Brad]

Hi

I am trying to install vpomail on openbsd 3.3. I have installed many times
on various flavours of linux with no issue.

When issuing make I get the following error...

bash# make
make  all-recursive
Making all in cdb
gcc -I. -Icdb -g -O2 -Wall -c vdelivermail.c
vdelivermail.c: In function `date_header':

*** Error code 1

*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/src/mail/vpopmail-5.3.23 (line 596 of Makefile).

Is anyone able to shed sone light on this for me?

RE: [vchkpw] doublebounces non-.qmail-default | /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete

[Tom Walsh]

Just put a comment in the .qmail or .qmail-username file... no need to
invoke vdelivermail when you are going to throw it to /dev/null anyways...

I have an account created on my mail server named null...

in his .qmail file I have

#

nothing else...

Has the same effect...

Also note that .qmail-username is called before any vpopmail interaction.

Any even better way to deal with doublebounces is to never let them into the
queue in the first place... with tonix patch (smtpd-chkusr).

Yet again, the problem is with vpopmail.

Solution: Fix vpopmail.
This was fixed around release 5.3.5 (according to Michael Bowe's 
research), and vpopmail 5.3.20 and later should work fine with 
authdaemon.  If it doesn't, then we need more information as to when it 
fails.

Michael is working on a 5.2.2 release that backports major bugfixes 
from the 5.3 series.  We hope to have a 5.4 release (i.e., a stable 5.3 
release) of vpopmail ready by the end of August.

Yep, it takes a lot of time and effort.  But I know how much time
and effort I spend trying to hunt down answers in google.  It is a
LOT.  And it's a lot because usually there is no FAQ and I'm reduced
to searching mailing lists.  And invariably the search results are
dominated by people asking the same question I am and being told to
search the list.  Which means there are a lot of people spending a lot
of time googling mailing lists.

> Worst of all, mailing-list questions don't disappear, they appear with 
> just the same regularity. Except now the key phrase is "search the faq." 

I go back to the days when "that is answered in the FAQ" was a standard
reply.  And the thing is, when somebody said that then the answer usually
WAS in the FAQ and the person who asked the question could find the answer
within seconds of being told to look at the FAQ.  These days I have to
search mailing lists and my experience is that it can take several hours
to finally get an answer because I'm wading through all the "search the
list" responses, stupid questions, stuff that matches the search criteria
but isn't what I'm after, etc.  If, instead, I came across an "it's in
the FAQ" responses I'd immediately look in the FAQ.  In fact, the chances
are the google would throw up the FAQ ahead of the mailing list archives
anyway.

> Proper netizens are indeed grateful and spend time to offer suggestions,

I consider myself a proper netizen, and reasonably skilled in setting
search criteria, but it takes a LONG time to find some answers on google
when you have to wade through mailing lists.

> In brief, a FAQ does surprisingly little to quell mailing list/IRC/
> private email clutter.

Then you misunderstand my point.  I know that the "search the list"
clutter will be replaced by "it's in the FAQ" clutter.  But the former
means I then spend hours wading through the clutter before I eventually
get to the answer while the latter means I get the answer very quickly.

I wasn't arguing for an FAQ to get rid of clutter but to allow people
to find answers quickly.  I know that doesn't help list subscribers
avoid clutter but it does help everyone looking for answers.

I agree, maintaining an FAQ is a pain.  So is googling list archives
where most questions are answered with "search the list."  If there
were more FAQs around I'd save enough time that I could afford the time
to maintain an FAQ.

Anyone have thoughts on how to fix this?

[vchkpw] Re: Need advise on secondary mail server for backup purpose.

Hi, 

that all you need on the DNS side. 

On the mailserver1 you'll need to have qmail configured to receive mail for 
your domain (or domains) and on mailserver2 also (basicly have all your 
domains in $QMAILPATH/control/rcpthosts).

David,

Which version of vpopmail are you applying this to?

It sounds like you are patching a version that already has the seekable
patch in it... I think it was added to the code base for all version after
5.3.7(?).
The patch is only needed if you want to use a version older than that.

The way delivery works, qmail-local finds 
domains/teste.com/.qmail-teste and handles delivery.  Without 
.qmail-teste, it goes to .qmail-default which should contain 
vdelivermail.  vdelivermail checks for a user account, and if one 
exists, delivers the email to it (processing its .qmail file if 
necessary).

[vchkpw] maildirsize file in Maildir/

[Benjamin Tomhave]

Hello,

Can anybody explain the purpose of the maildirsize folder in an account's
Maildir/ with a mysql-based vpopmail install?  It seems kind of redundant to
me that there should be a static file with quota information such as is
contained in maildirsize since quota info is maintained (partially or
wholly?) in the vpopmail database.  I ran into a situation this week where I
modified a user's quota in the db and it didn't take as far as courier-imap
was concerned until I removed the maildirsize file, thus causing it to be
regenerated.  Wondering if something needs to be "fixed" so that issues like
this won't occur in the future?

Thank you,

-ben

Re: [vchkpw] 5.3.24, maildrop and catchalls

[Charles Sprickman]

Just answering my own email.

I made a stunning/stupid discovery.  The maildrop filters out there that
do the directory assignment like this:

VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]

are inherently broken for catchalls.  This may be obvious to some, but I
was blindly trusting stuff I found on the mailing list, which can be
dangerous.

If for example I have a user "spork" as the catchall for
"fasttrackmonkey.com" and mail is sent to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
current versions of vdelivermail will read spork's .qmail file which in
turn calls maildrop with a filter using the above construct.  Well, there
is no such user as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", so $VHOME is empty.
That in turn leads to bad things.

The other example I've seen relies on a variable called "PWD".  For
whatever reason, my maildrop can *never* see that variable (tested under
vpopmail 5.3.21 - .24).  Whether that's some quirk in my version of
maildrop (1.5.2) or something else that I'm not seeing, that solution
doesn't work for me.  However, I like the idea in theory.

So, here's what I've come up with to handle filtering on normal users and
catchall users.  Running it right now on 5.3.24.  Qmailadmin is set to put
"|preline /usr/local/bin/maildrop /usr/local/etc/mailfilter.user" in a
user's .qmail file if they click the "enable spam detection" button.  The
filter calls spamc, looks for a "Spam" folder in the user's Maildir,
creates one if it doesn't exist, then delivers spam to that folder.
Additionally it looks for a ".mailfilter" file in the user's Maildir and
reads that if it exists.

Here's the contents of /usr/local/etc/mailfilter.user:


SHELL="/bin/sh"
VDIR=`pwd` # grab PWD by running the pwd command
USERNAME=`echo ${VDIR##*/}`
USERHOST=`PWDTMP=${VDIR%/*}; echo ${PWDTMP##*/}`

logfile "/home/vpopmail/domains/fasttrackmonkey.com/maildrop.log" #testing

log "= BEGIN"
log "=== VARS: host - $USERHOST  name - $USERNAME  vdir - $VDIR"

if ( $SIZE < 262144 ) # don't kill spamd with huge messages

{
exception {
xfilter "/usr/local/bin/spamc -f -u [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
log "=== SPAMC called"
}
}

if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/) # Did spamc call it spam?

{
# try filtering it using user-defined rules
log "== SPAM YES"
exception {
log "= PARSING  $VDIR/Maildir/.mailfilter"
include $VDIR/Maildir/.mailfilter
}
log "== SPAM YES back from included file"
# make sure .Spam folder exists
`test -d ./Maildir/.Spam`
if( $RETURNCODE == 1 )
{
log "= CREATING SPAMDIR"
`maildirmake -f Spam ./Maildir`
}

# then try delivering it to a Spam folder
exception {
log "= DELIVERING SPAM to $VDIR/Maildir/.Spam/"
to "$VDIR/Maildir/.Spam/"
}

exception {
log "== SPAM YES - couldn't deliver to .Spam folder"
to "$VDIR/Maildir"
}
}

else

{
log "=== SPAM NO"
exception {
log "== PARSING $VDIR/Maildir/.mailfilter"
include $VDIR/Maildir/.mailfilter
}
log "== BACK FROM INCLUDE"
exception {
log "= DUMP to Maildir"
to "$VDIR/Maildir"
}

log " EXITING"

}

[vchkpw] Incredibly destructive chmod's in vpopmail's Makefile.am

[Adam Hooper]

Here's a snippet of vpopmail's Makefile.am (from line 106 in 5.3.23)


chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@
chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@/include
chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@/etc
chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@/doc
chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@/doc/man_html
chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@/doc/doc_html
chmod 755 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@/bin
chmod 700 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@/@domains_dir@
chmod 711 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@/bin/*
chmod 444 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@/include/*
chmod 444 $(DESTDIR)@vpopmaildir@/doc/doc_html/*

Can anyone besides me see the problem? To make vpopmail 
distribution-friendly, I symlinked /home/vpopmail/bin to /usr/sbin 
(where I feel the files belong in the first place). So everything in 
/usr/sbin is set to rwx--x--x. Because I installed qmail via my 
distribution's installation tool, its binaries are located in /usr/sbin.

Needless to say, the mail server was broken.

There is no good reason to change permissions on all these files anyway; 
just install them properly in the first place and there's no reason they 
would get changed (unless the sysadmin wanted them changed, for whatever 
reason).

The Makefile.am would be a lot simpler and less system-intrusive if it 
used the 'install' command instead of mkinstalldirs/cp/chown/chmod.

Would it be more helpful if I wrote up a patch for this? I have hardly 
any time for the next 3 weeks, but figured this issue ought to be 
brought to people's attention as soon as possible.

What version of vpopmail?  What were your configuration options?

What is the home directory of the vpopmail user on your server?  (grep 
vpopmail /etc/passwd)

vadddomain, on a default install, will try to create the domain as

~vpopmail/domains/frenchclasses.com

It appears that the home directory entry in /etc/passwd is incorrect.  
It hsould probably be something like "/home/vpopmail" or, in your case, 
"/var/qmail/vpop".

Yep, that was it.  I thought the

recompiled with the option set to 'n', it now works.

Which version of vpopmail are you applying this to?

It sounds like you are patching a version that already has the seekable
patch in it... I think it was added to the code base for all version after
5.3.7(?).
The patch is only needed if you want to use a version older than that.

Ok...

What the hell ... I just compiled 5.3.24 WITHOUT
learn-passwords. Installed it. Restarted all mail
services. I can STILL log into any account with any
password.

Someone here must be able to shed some light on this
for me??  Please?

Re: [vchkpw] Urgent - vchkpw/vpopmail authenticate even with wrong pw?

[jeff thomas]

Ok... I tried this fix. 

I edited vchkpw.c and removed the FOOB and ENDIF.
recompiled. 

No luck. Same thing. Any password I put in still
works.

Thoughts?

[vchkpw] .qmail

[Flavio Caetano]

Hi... I have the following problem

if I create a .qmail file under /home/vpopmail/domains/teste.com/teste that 
cointains "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" this redir doesn't work

but if I create a .qmail-teste under /home/vpopmail/domains/teste.com that 
cointains "&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" the redir works well!


my configuration:

qmail + vpopmail (5.3.24)

with serialmail... / with rblsmtpd ??? whats that?

and what you are meaning of



Now copy the envconv program to each directory

envconv text...


#!/usr/bin/perl

while () {
  if( $_ =~ /^([^#][^=]+)=(.*)/) {
$name=$1;
unlink "$name";
open (F, ">$name") or die "Cannot open $name: $!";
$value = $2;
if( $value =~ /^"(.*)"$/ ) {
  $x=$1;
} else {
  $x=$value;
}
while ($x =~ m/\$(\S+)/ && $vars{$1}) {
$y = $1;
$x =~ s/\$$y/$vars{$y}/;
}
$vars{$name}=$x;
print F $x or die "Cannot write to $1: $!";
close (F) or die "Cannot close $1: $!";
  }
}



where to copy the programm/script/tool what ever? to what directories, thank
you very much!

Re: [vchkpw] wondering what I did wrong..

[Evren Yurtesen]

You have vpopmail set as one domain with many users
--enable-many-domains=n
then you shouldnt have users table if I am not mistaken.

But yet vchkpw should know this I wonder if you have an older version
somehow from somewhere? I use vpopmail with FreeBSD too and it works fine.
Although I am using many domains approach. Although I would suggest that
you should use many domains if you at least have more than 1 domain and
you dont have like 10 users in each :)

Why not just temporarily set it to NOQUOTA?

Re: [vchkpw] Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name

[Mike Robin Haller]

Hello

i finally got the problem. i tried to delete and re-add another domain
with a "-" in it. and it worked. under the new version of vpopmail. so
it was not that problem.

i then thought about, what the heck is the difference between
haller-systemservice.net and all the others? sure, it is my main /
master domain. it was in all defaultdomain and me-files. so i removed
all entries from these files, except for localhost.

now it works.



main:/var/qmail/control # cat defaultdomain
localhost
main:/var/qmail/control # cat plusdomain
localhost
main:/var/qmail/control # cat me
localhost
main:/var/qmail/control # cat helohost
localhost
main:/var/qmail/control #


main:/var/qmail/control # /etc/init.d/init.d/qmail restart
Restarting qmail:
* Stopping qmail-smtpd.
* Sending qmail-send SIGTERM and restarting.
* Restarting qmail-smtpd.


main:/var/qmail/control # grep systemservice.net *
rcpthosts:haller-systemservice.net
virtualdomains:haller-systemservice.net:haller-systemservice.net


before the removal, there were several entries in the plusdomain,
defaultdomain, me and helohost files with
"main.haller-systemservice.net" or "haller-systemservice.net" because
this is the fqdn of the server. after removing the whole bunch, it
works. it was not a problem of permissions or with vpopmail.

Re: [vchkpw] configure --enable-mysql=y error : help a noob please?

[Japheth Cleaver]

I believe the proper values are something like:
 --enable-incdir=/usr/include/mysql
 --enable-libdir=/usr/lib/mysql
At least, those are where things are and what works on a RH9 + mysql.com 
rpms system

[vchkpw] Re: Need advise on secondary mail server for backup purpose.

[Sérgio Manuel Rosa]

Hi,
yes that's correct. I'm not shure about the time that the backup server will 
hang on to the message. 

I've a backup mail server with only qmail running, with my domains in 
rcpthosts, and it will receive all mail when mail1 is down ou loaded, then 
it will try to send the mail it is holding to mal1. nothing special on the 
second server.
That simple. :-)

It isnt really a vpopmail issue, it is a Qmail issue. 

You put it in rcpthosts on mailserver2, that means it will recive mail for 
that domain, since it isnt in the local domains, or virtualdomains, it 
cant deliver it locally, and will try to deliver it remotely.
- with standard settings it should keep trying for 5 days, then give up
- you dont need vpopmail installed, just a plain Qmail server

Re: [vchkpw] Unknown column 'pw_name' in 'field list'

[Michael Bowe]

Hi Alan

You should not have multiple domain tables in the database if you configure
with --enable-many-domains=y

Did you perhaps configure/make originally with --enable-many-domains=n, and
then swap over to --enable-many-domains=y ?

Could be some left over config hanging around...
If in doubt, I would recommend you do these steps :

 delete your existing vpopmail source dir
  untar
  setup your vmysql.h
  re-run configure (checking that you are using the
desired --enable-many-domains)
  make
  make install-strip

Then dont forget you have to recompile any add-on apps that use the vpopmail
libraries, eg qmailadmin, courier-imap

Also, you could compare your config against my guide :

Ok...

What the hell ... I just compiled 5.3.24 WITHOUT

[vchkpw] other fun vpopmail issues!

[David Gibbons]

Okay on another note i'm having a boggling time getting the "Seekable" 
patch SpamAssassin wants to apply to vpopmail..
it patches fine but then on compile i get.. this is on a newly untared 
vpopmail with only allow-roaming users=y set in the config.

gcc -I. -Icdb -g -O2 -Wall -c seek.c
seek.c:24: conflicting types for `lseek'
/usr/include/stdio.h:278: previous declaration of `lseek'
*** Error code 1
has anyone else any idea what's going on? seems like vpopmail really 
doesn't like me this week.

I remember back around that time there was also the popular belief that
things committed to the Web were preserved for the ages.  I'll refer
back to a specific piece of qmail documentation I'd been looking for...
I found plenty of references to the document in the first 10 results. 
The problem is the actual document itself has nearly fallen off the face
of the earth.  I say nearly, because I _did_ find it. In the WayBack
machine, which truly is the last station before oblivion.

There will probably always be gems in the archives that appear nowhere
else.  But "search the archives" should only be the answer for very
recent, or very obscure things that have yet to find their way into the
documentation.  Archives should supplement documentation, not _be_
documentation.

I don't think anyone's going to be offended.

The fact that we don't have more documentation is our responsibility and
no one else's.  In an Open and Free project like this, particularly one
with so many users, the developers shouldn't be producing the admin and
user documentation.  I consider that a waste of their valuable time,
when they can be writing more code, doing more code analysis, ripping
more code _out_, stuff that developers do.  The exception there would be
that obviously, some non-trivial amount of developer participation would
be required for documenting the vpopmail API.  Speaking for myself, I
can't put a line of C code together, but I can string some words
together into a sentence.  That should be true of many others here, and
together, we have the potential for translations (most important for the
FAQ) into many languages.

It could be only a few of us will work on it sporadically.  And that's
ok too.  The important thing is to get started on it.  I was going to
fix some things for myself, and now I'm going to submit those fixes for
everyone else's benefit.  It's how much of the code gets written in Free
and Open software.  Someone who can, scratches an itch and makes it
available to everyone else.

Good to have you on-board!

[Mike Robin Haller]

Hi vpopmail mailing list,

i have this problem and i hope someone can help me fast, because after
an update to 5.3.23, i cannot add any domains.
vadddomain always crashed with an segmentation fault. i debugged it
and the segfaults were caused by two free(in_domain) and another
free(..). i commented them out and recompiled, so i could create the
necc. domain directories.

NOW the problem is, that he does not seem to recognize the directory.
i can add successfully the domain with
/home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain haller-systemservice.net SECRETPW

i can also get the infos:

[vchkpw] OT maildrop, filters and quotas

[Clayton Weise]

I've had a problem for quite some time now and it never got answered on the
list, so I made a work around.  Was previously running domain-based maildrop
filters by piping to maildrop in my .qmail-default file but I ran into
problems with that.  For some reason, and I could never figure out exactly
what or where it was coming from, vpopmail would appear to intermittently
exit out with an error that would cause maildrop to exit tmpfail and requeue
the message.  It would only happen when spam was trying to deliver to
accounts that didn't exist.  maildrop would do what it was supposed to do
and hand it off to vpopmail, but every once in a while vpopmail would exit
with an error code other than 0 and the message would get requeued.  This
would, and rather quickly, gunk up the queue with a TON of "sorry, no
mailbox here by that name" rejections that would never get delivered.  If
anybody knows about this, it would be of great help.

To get past the problem, instead of having maildrop hand the message back to
vpopmail I'm just having maildrop deliver it directly by putting .qmail
files inside each users's directory.  This seems to work just great for
filtering purposes, but for some damn reason quotas aren't being enforced.
I've read the man files for maildrop and discovered that it gets the quota
from a MAILDIRQUOTA env variable, so I set that like this:

MAILDIRQUOTA=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -q [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When it comes time for delivery, after the filtering, right now I've just
got this:

to "./Maildir/"

maildrop delivers the message just fine, but it never changes the
maildirsize file.  Quotas never get enforced.  I tried piping it off to the
deliverquota program that comes with the maildrop suite but no dice their
either:

to "| /usr/local/bin/deliverquota ./Maildir/"

I must be missing something, and I'm hoping somebody can help.

[vchkpw] Urgent - vchkpw/vpopmail authenticate even with wrong pw?

[jeff thomas]

Hello -

I recently installed vpopmail 5.3.20 from freebsd
ports. I used Matt Simerson's FreeBSD Qmail Toaster
scripts to install it (it uses ports).


That installed without problem. I installed
courier-imap and squirrelmail as well as sqwebmail. I
noticed today that I can log into any of the accounts
via sqwebmail with any password. I can literally put
in "xxx" for the password on my e-mail account and it
will let me in. I tried it on squirrelmail with the
same problem. So, then I tried simply logging into the
POP3 account with "xyz" as the password. It, too, let
me in with full access.

This is bad - obviously. Anyone care to shed some
light on what I need to do to get this fixed ASAP. I
upgraded from 4.9.x and use mysql4 for authentication.

Any and all help is appreciated.

yeah...think should work. I have shutdown the primary mailserver and the
message has gone into the secondary mail server. Think the message should be
in the qmiail queue now. And, I have make the primary mailserver up again,
but I am still waiting for the message from secondary mail server. So, is
there any command to flush or force the secondary mail server message from
the qmail queue?

Or any configuration file to customize it?

[vchkpw] vpopmail, sqwebmail and maildrop[

[Paul L. Allen]

Hi

I'm trying to figure out how to get the new filter functionality in
sqwemail (I have 3.5.3) working with vpopmail 5.3.23 (which I'm just
about to install because I was using 5.2.1 until I found the authentication
bug affecting courier-imap).

I've searched mailing list archives, dug around on google, read the
maildrop docs and still the solution eludes me.  I can get it to work if
I manually create a .qmail file in a user's maildir but that is not an 
option on a server which will eventually have many virtual domains each
administered by the holders of those domains names and who can add users
at will.

It looks to me as if /etc/maildroprc might do the trick but unfortunately
I cannot afford to play with anything that might cause mail to bounce
because my pointy-haired boss decided to use his new personal domain as a 
test domain on this server and once it was able to send and receive mail
he used it to subscribe to various mailing lists that generate hundreds of 
mails a day about his cherished hobby.

Any solution must meet the following requirements:

  1) Fully compatible with sqwebmail's filters.  The whole point of
  trying to get maildrop to work is to allow the use of those
  filters.

  2) Fully compatible with qmailadmin.  It must not require tweaks
  to .qmail files that get undone when they are modified by
  qmailadmin.  In particular, qmailadmin must be able to modify
  .qmail-default without disrupting filtering.

  3) Does not require any manual intervention by me to enable filters
  for newly-added users.  When a domain administrator adds a new user
  with qmailadmin then filters should automatically be available and
  should not require the administrator to request me to turn filtering
  on for a new user.

These requirements do not seem unreasonable to me so I suspect that
either vpopmail has yet to catch up with the new sqwebmail filters or
I'm missing the blindingly obvious (almost certainly the latter).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [vchkpw] Urgent - vchkpw/vpopmail authenticate even with wrongpw?

[Evren Yurtesen]

I totally agree :)
Instead a person must use the script's actions as a reference point and
install himself those programs manually. Thus you can learn something too.
It is not only difficult to troubleshoot if something goes wrong, but also
if your customers want something which is not possible to achieve with the
script. Then you would also be in trouble since you wouldnt know how to
install any of these programs.

I often had similar problems with windows admins :) They press Next button
and it works. Then when there is a problem, they absolutely have no idea
of how things work, so they cant figure out any solution at all, they try
to format windows and reinstall everything though everytime when there is
a problem :)

Re: [vchkpw] Hard Quota's in VPOPMAIL

[Evren Yurtesen]

Because your setting only effects the postmaster user when you open
domain with vQadmin, then vqadmin sets a domain quota, after that
qmailadmin use that domain quota for a default quota. I am almost sure
your postmaster user doesnt have any quota, right? When you use vQadmin
you should set the domain quota to something. Honestly I never wanted to
disable it so I dont know what to write there. Perhaps n or something. Or
a very big number would do.

Did this help? :)

[vchkpw] New list, vpopmail-devel

[Tom Collins]

By request, I've created vpopmail-devel on SourceForge as a companion list to qmailadmin-devel.  Those of you interested in vpopmail in addition to qmailadmin should probably sign up.  Michael Bowe has been reviewing the source, and we have some work to do.

http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/vpopmail-devel

The list we be focused on the ongoing development of vpopmail, including discussions on how to implement new features, discussions of bugs, and talk of optimizing or rewriting portions of the source.  It is NOT for questions regarding installation/configuration of vpopmail.  Please continue to use [EMAIL PROTECTED] for those questions.

[vchkpw] Unknown column 'pw_name' in 'field list'

[Alan Murrell]

Hello,

  Mandrake 9.1
  Qmail 1.03
  Vpopmail 5.3.24

I am setting up a new server with the latest (devel)
version of vpopmail, using MySQL as the backend.  I
edited vmysql to point to the database server, and
have confirmed that the (MySQL) username and password
work by authenticating from the mail server to the
MySQL server using the 'mysql' program.

However, when I test POP authentication via telnet, I
get the following error:

--- CUT HERE ---
[EMAIL PROTECTED] vpopmail-5.3.24]# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost (127.0.0.1).
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
user alan
+OK 
pass bofh123
vmysql: sql error[3]: Unknown column 'pw_name' in
'field list'
-ERR authorization failed
Connection closed by foreign host.
--- CUT HERE ---

I have checked several of the domain tables in the
database, and they do indeed have the 'pw_name'
column, and it appears to be defined in the 'vmysql.h'
file.  The README.mysql file does not shed any light
on this.

I was wondering if anyone here would be able to shed
some light on this, and let me know what I appear to
have done wrong?

In case it is relevent, my vpopmail configuration
looks like this:

--- CUT HERE ---
./configure --enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/bin/tcprules \
  --enable-tcpserverfile=/etc/tcp.smtp \
  --enable-clear-passwd=y \
  --enable-mysql=y \
  --enable-valias=y \
  --enable-file-locking=y \
  --enable-many-domains=y \
  --enable-defaultquota=25214400S,1000C \
  --enable-domainquotas=y

I need to give the SourceForce Documentation Manager a proper once-over,
I've only glanced at it, but Wiki has crossed my mind just about every
time I think about this.

The other thought that keeps crossing my mind is that DocBook is sort of
the holy grail of documentation these days as you can go from DocBook to
anything else.

The LDP's online documentation collaboration system will be using
WikiText on the front-end.
http://www.tldp.org/ldpwn/ldpwn-2002-04-30.html

There's also a Wiki to DocBook converter that's part of that project. 
http://www.tldp.org/wt2db/

WikiWords lend themselves nicely to terse but highly-specific, answers
too. It's not much more effort to say "That's the FAQ
vpopmailWithMaildrop" than "It's in the FAQ someplace."

Since you're using a pre-packaged build, I'd go here:

Search and then ask if anyone else using his script is having similar

[vchkpw] doublebounces non-.qmail-default | /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail'' delete

Hello,

To deal with spam/double-bounces,
I wrote in /var/qmail/control/doublebounceto : doublebounce
which is the name for a ".qmail-doublebounce" file
and in it I used  "| /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete"
... like it was a .qmail-default.

Is this possible for regulars .qmail-aliases too ?
If not where do the eMails go ?

Thank you,

[vchkpw] maildir quotas

[Clayton Weise]

I've had a problem for quite some time now and it never got answered on the
list, so I made a work around.  Was previously running domain-based maildrop
filters by piping to maildrop in my .qmail-default file but I ran into
problems with that.  For some reason, and I could never figure out exactly
what or where it was coming from, vpopmail would appear to intermittently
exit out with an error that would cause maildrop to exit tmpfail and requeue
the message.  It would only happen when spam was trying to deliver to
accounts that didn't exist.  maildrop would do what it was supposed to do
and hand it off to vpopmail, but every once in a while vpopmail would exit
with an error code other than 0 and the message would get requeued.  This
would, and rather quickly, gunk up the queue with a TON of "sorry, no
mailbox here by that name" rejections that would never get delivered.  If
anybody knows about this, it would be of great help.

To get past the problem, instead of having maildrop hand the message back to
vpopmail I'm just having maildrop deliver it directly by putting .qmail
files inside each users's directory.  This seems to work just great for
filtering purposes, but for some damn reason quotas aren't being enforced.
I've read the man files for maildrop and discovered that it gets the quota
from a MAILDIRQUOTA env variable, so I set that like this:

MAILDIRQUOTA=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -q [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When it comes time for delivery, after the filtering, right now I've just
got this:

to "./Maildir/"

maildrop delivers the message just fine, but it never changes the
maildirsize file.  Quotas never get enforced.  I tried piping it off to the
deliverquota program that comes with the maildrop suite but no dice their
either:

to "| /usr/local/bin/deliverquota ./Maildir/"

I must be missing something, and I'm hoping somebody can help.

[vchkpw] vpopmail (with MySQL & courier imap hack)

[eLgino]

Hi there,

I'm running qmail with vpopmail, courier imap/bla.
It works nice under FreeBSD 4.8

But i have one problem i have compiled vpopmail WITHOUT mysql, and WITH a
courier-imap hack see here:

THE HACK >> http://www.pofo.de/HOWTO/qmail/files/open_relay.c
env VPOPMAILDIR=`pw usershow vpopmail | cut -f9 -d':'`/etc \
/bin/sh -c 'gcc -o open_relay open_relay.c `cat $VPOPMAILDIR/inc_deps
$VPOPMAILDIR/lib_deps` -lcrypt'
install -o root -g wheel -m 755 open_relay /usr/local/bin/

its a smtp after imap/pop3 "hack"

but now i will deinstall vpopmail and install with MySQL support, but that
its not the problem

1. How can i delete the hack?
2. How can i setup the hack to work with vpopmail AND MySQL?

thanks in advance!

I was typing up an e-mail about this at about the same time you were

Re: [vchkpw] Re: "vpopmail documentation initiative"

[Adam Hooper]

Hehe. I know it doesn't really add to the discussion, but...:

I once made a FAQ interface for a completley unrelated project. I let 
people add their own FAQs with admin reviews, FAQs can have multiple 
categories, there's a nice search feature, everything was very dandy. I 
put in the first few FAQs myself and let users submit questions and 
answers as they found them. In the beginning, all was well.

But nobody wants to maintain it! I sure as hell don't, I find it 
infuriating. None of the 5 other admins can be bothered with it either. 
Users STILL use the faq all the time, with 6-month-old data, but nobody 
wants to bother keeping it up to date, because it takes lots of 
research, time and patience.

Worst of all, mailing-list questions don't disappear, they appear with 
just the same regularity. Except now the key phrase is "search the faq." 
Proper netizens are indeed grateful and spend time to offer suggestions, 
but proper netizens can usually find most answers on Google anyway, so 
they'd never ask the question in the first place! In brief, a FAQ does 
surprisingly little to quell mailing list/IRC/private email clutter.

I for one get MORE email I don't want, since I guess my email address 
draws peoples' attention more than the 'Contact us' link. One person has 
donated 10 dollars (US! Woo!) and beyond that I've spent countless hours 
replying to people with stuff like "I haven't the fogiest notion. Check 
the 'Contact us' link for people who know more."

To wrap up: In my experience, a FAQ is a f*cking pain. Good luck finding 
somebody who'll want to put that amount of time and effort -- I know 
I'll never do one again :).

And that's THAT off my chest ;).

(The project is http://openzaurus.org -- just a little plug for my 
favourite embedded distro!)

I might as well add something *constructive* to all this: I've heard and 
seen nothing but good things from Wikis. Sourceforge has all you need to 
set one up :). (I've used phpwiki, but as far as I know they're all 
quite similar.) I think a vpopmail Wiki could be quite useful.

all too often the FAQ has been abandoned in favour of "search the archive."
