Thanks Michael,

I think you have hit the problem!
Then what I've to do?
If I remove the line #undef HAVE_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY, I've the auth bug that you
say.
I've to apply your patch courier-imap-2[1].1.1-vchkpw-updates.diff.txt?

Probably my steps will be:

cd into courier-imap-2.1.1/authlib
patch -u < courier-imap-2[1].1.1-vchkpw-updates.diff.txt
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/courier-imap --disable-root-check
--without-authpam --without-authldap --without-authpwd --without-authmysql
--without-authpgsql --without-authshadow --without-authuserdb
--without-authcustom --without-authcram --without-authdaemon
--with-authvchkpw --with-ssl --with-piddir=/var/run
setenv CFLAGS="-DHAVE_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY"
gmake
gmake install
gmake install-configure

With your patch, I've already a security problem? Or removing the
open_smtp_relay() calls from the preauthvchmpw.c file to authvchkpw.c,
you've fixed that?

Thanks for all
Regards
Andrea

My lib_deps is:

I've to add the '-lcrypt' too?

I took a look at this. There are only a couple of places where that
"r_chown() : Failed to cd to directory" error could come from.

One of them is the make_user_dir() function, which sounds like
a likely cantidate. This function is called by vdelivermail() when
a message arrives for a user that doesnt yet have a dir allocated.

Doing a diff of 5.3.27 (which reportedly works ok) against
the current 5.4.0-pre1, I can see that this make_user_dir() function has
had some changes. So I guess a bug has snuck in there somewhere...
Changelog shows the work was done for the 5.3.29 release.

I think it is something to do with the line :

r_chown(".", uid, gid);

All other references to this r_chown() function use a full path,
this is the the only spot where a "." is used as a path. I wonder
if that makes a difference at all?

Probably the r_chown() call above should test for a return code,
and then print error / return on failure.

Also inside r_chown(), the very first line is
chown(path,owner,group);
which should also probably check for a return code, and
then print error / return on failure.

Even after doing this digging though, I still can't really explain where
that corrupted data is coming from. I was looking around for an
uninitialised buffer or somesuch, but couldn't really spot the source.

Shane, perhaps you could step through the versions between
5.3.27 and 5.4.0-rc1 one at a time, until you find the version
that causes the problem? This is assist us in tracking down the bug.

there is a patch for qmail to correct the way Linux filesystem work and how 
BSD filesystem works. If I'm not mistaken, qmail was developed for BSD and I 
did have some problem with reiserFS until I applied the patch

Subject: [vchkpw] Best FileSystem 

Hi: 

We're using RH8.0 and the ext3 journalling filesystem with vpopmail. We 
have been getting filesystem errors (lost inodes) and are wondering
whether 
ext3 is appropriate for qmail/vpopmail and what the best filesystem
might 
be for this application. Is anyone using RAID with qmail/vpopmail?

Hi Michael,

 I had actually thought of doing the same thing so I got as far as
downloading 
the different versions and I will go through them tonight and let you know

version the error shows up in.

Ok Michael, I've tryed:
I've added -lcrypt in my lib_deps:
-L/home/vpopmail/lib -lvpopmail -lcrypt

Then:
bzip2 -cd courier-imap-2.2.1.tar.bz2 | tar xf -

When try to compile with make, or gmake, I've the same error:

 I have found that the bug begins as of 5.3.29 and is present in all

Re: [vchkpw] Re: Best FileSystem

[Mario Junior]

I had a lot of problems with reiserfs, including 2 forced reinstallations. But 
it was probably because at that time I didn't realize that qmail queue 
doesn't like modern file systems (because sync).
Nowadays, ext3 and ext2(only for /var/qmail/queue) do a good on my systems. 
I'm very happy with that combination.

Hi Mario:

Why are you using ext2 for /var/qmail/queue? I am using ext3 - could that 
be what my trouble is.

Also, will RAID work with qmail/vpopmail?

I couldn't .. I need a pop3-ssl daemon.

Re: [vchkpw] Mysql + NFS + Quota Problem

Here is my setup:

 

 I have qmail + vpopmail  5.3.30+ mysql setup.

 

 I have 5 servers for this mail cluster.

 

   1. mx for internet ( no relay)
   2. smtp for customers ( relay for customers)
   3. pop3 for customers
   4. mysql server box
   5. nas NFS storage device
 

 

I have /home/vpopmail/domains exported from the NFS server.

This directory is only accessible by user vpopmail.

 

My vpopmail configure line:

./configure \

  --enable-roaming-users=n \

  --enable-logging=p \

  --enable-ip-alias-domains=n \

  --enable-defaultquota=10485760S \

  --enable-passwd=n \

  --enable-clear-passwd=y \

  --enable-domain-quotas=n \

  --enable-mysql=y \

  --enable-many-domains=n \

  --enable-auth-logging=y \

  --enable-mysql-logging=y \

  --enable-valias=y

 

 

My problem is:

 

 QUOTAS DON’T WORK!

 

In the Mysql table  domain_com  in database vpopmail under the pw_shell 
field

 

There is either 10485760S or 10485760S,1000C   for every user.

 

I have a /home/vpopmail/domains/.quotawarn.msg   that contains an email 
with proper headers that should be sent to the user when they are at 90% 
usage.

 

I also have a /home/vpopmail/domains/.over-quota.msg   that contains an 
error message that I believe should be displayed to the original sender 
if they try to email a user that is over quota.

 

Also a side note which might help diagnose the problem.. I have 
Squirrelmail setup with the quota_usage plugin.   The quota usage never 
increases from 0%

 

Can anyone help?

PLEASE!

 You might want to have a look at Bill Shupps guide or
even Michaels guide 
http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htm
http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/vpopmail-mysql.htm

qmail-pop3d can be run in ssl mode with something like this from Bills
toaster setup. You don't need Courier-Imap to have pop3 ssl.

This is the run file...
#!/bin/sh

VPOPMAILUID=`id -u vpopmail`
VPOPMAILGID=`id -g vpopmail`

exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l 0 -R -H -v  \

Here's my latest entry:

--
If you suspect:
r_chown(".", uid, gid);

try replacing it with:

chdir("..");
r_chown(username, uid, gid);
But I doubt that's it -- the error indicates that r_chown() is being  
called with "¨ßB¨ßBopmail/domains/cwispy.com/test" as the path.

I'm thinking that there's buffer overflow, or some other issue that is  
causing the directory name to be overwritten with random data.  Perhaps  
a function buffer that should be static, but isn't.

Maybe vmake_maildir(), or code just before it, since it calls r_chown()  
with a fully qualified path?  Or it could be a problem with the code  
that reads in the pathname?

What is the auth backend, and what does the user's entry look like?  We  
might be barking up the wrong tree here -- if it's munged in the auth,  
then we need to back up even further.

This needs to be the include directory for the MySQL libs.

Something like "/usr/local/include/mysql".  Try leaving it blank, as 
vpopmail will search multiple locations for the correct directory.

You will need to use courier-imap-2.1.1 (rather than 2.2.1) with that
particular patch.

Because I had understood that qmail uses the inode numbers for mail queue 
storage and I was not sure if hardware or software RAID(5) systems 
duplicated inode contents.

Yes, with the patch, the security problem is resolved, because the
relay isnt opened unless the user has successfully authenticated.

As you say, the open_smtp_relay() calls are moved from the
pre-auth stage, to post-auth

This patch should correct the problem.  deliver_mail() was returning
