[vchkpw] child crashed with remote email address for cvs source
I'm seeing Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0) with the latest cvs source when the qmail-default file looks like | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED] When it delivers to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I get the child crashed. Is there a fix for this? Ken Jones

I strongly recommend against using the postmaster account that way. If your domain is ever believed to be spamming or causing any other kind of problem to people on the internet, the postmaster account is one of the first places they'll try to use to get you to correct it. Very little (if any) postmaster mail should be discarded - even if it's spam.

Re: [vchkpw] spamassassin patch ready ahead of schedule
I for one am interested in looking at this. Is there a URL available to download the plugin? Charles Sprickman wrote: Sorry to be replying late... But, if anyone is interested, we have a squirrelmail plugin and a small C program to handle turning spam-filtering on/off and also for setting vacations and forwards from within SquirrelMail. It does not require running your webserver as the vpopmail user. Combined with the "sasql" plugin, it gives users the ability to set many vpopmail options without having to ever look at qmailadmin. Let me know if anyone has interest in this. The only thing I ask is that if you find it useful, that you contribute any cleanup back to me. Thanks, Charles

[vchkpw] vpopmail 5.4.0-rc2 and sqwebmail-3.6.2 password change not working
When trying to use sqwebmail's change password feature, it always reports: ERROR: Unable to change password. Possible reasons why you cannot change the password are: * You did not enter the old password correctly * You did not enter the new password twice correctly * Your new password is too short, or is based on a dictionary word, and short/dictionary-based passwords are not allowed * Your new password is the same as one or more previous passwords, or the minimum time between password changes has not yet elapsed even though none of that is true. vpopmail 5.4.0-rc2 and sqwebmail-3.6.2
[vchkpw] Segmentation Fault (core dumped) when running vpasswd
When I run the vpasswd command from the command line I am getting a segmentation fault (core dumped) error. I am issuing the command correctly, and its been working fine for a long time. No changes were made to the box recently so I'm not sure what is causing this. I am running vpopmail 5.3.5. If anyone can offer any suggestions on how to fix this I would appreciate it. Thanks Brendan

Sure. http://spork.us/dotqmailedit-1.1.tgz There's a brief README, but I highly recommend reading through dotqmailedit.c for more information. In brief, this gives vacation/forward/spam-controls to users within squirrelmail.

I don't know much about 5.3.5, but I do know that 5.4.0-rc2 is available, and would guess that it is more stable than 5.3.5. http://vpopmail.sf.net/ -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter handheld Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail 5.4.0-rc2 and sqwebmail-3.6.2 password change not working
I don't use this version but i have a problem like this in vpopmail 5.3.29 and sqwebmail-3-6.1. But I use vpopmail 5.3.30 and sqwebmail-3.6.1 and i don't have the message anymore, I can change the password in this version. Did u have configure with : configure --enable-changepass=yes when you install sqwebmail ? And this configuration in vpopmail: configure --enable-sqwebmail-pass=y This tags is used in version vpopmail-5.3.22 below, and i try to find this tags in version 5.3.30 but i can't, maybe this tags is only for old version of vpopmail. Oh yeah .. you have to configure : --with-authvchkpw in sqwebmail's configuration.

I mean the default of this tags is no. And for sqwebmail-3.0 and above use default no.. if you read the configuration --help .. hehehehe But maybe you still have to add this tags in your vpopmail's configuration and if you change password with vchangepw, tools from vpopmail, it will change the sqwebmail-pass file, just maybe 'cos i don't know well the flow...heheheh :D > > Oh yeah .. you have to configure : > --with-authvchkpw > in sqwebmail's configuration.
