Something like this could use a central DB repository handling unique IPs/MTA Setup accounts for the IPS/groups who'd use it with a profile...

Re: [vchkpw] Looking for a good mailfilter
> so tell it what the catchall account is.
Every catchall does not work with this mailfilter
I think.
So the mailfilter does not know the correct target-emailadress.
If you write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The mailfilter will be executed and this lines in the mailfilter returns
nothing:
VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I try this in a shell:
nbpeter:/home/peterpa # /home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
no such user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
nbpeter:/home/peterpa #
So some lines ago, the mailfilter want to deliver:
else
{
exception {
to "$VHOME/Maildir/"
}
}
And that cannot work.
I test today a new mailfilter which is based on a thread I found on the
qmailadmin-mailinglist:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg03734.html
Have a look at:
-> VMAILDIR="$PWD/Maildir/"
-> to "$VMAILDIR"
So the main problem is I think,
that the mailfilter does not know the correct target if you want to use
catch-all-adresses.

Peter.

And > remember as a MTA, it probably has no real associated users. That's a point :) It does carry out a lot of MTA like functions but... So lets say you drop 3707 servers from that survey. That moves qmail to the number 2 slot and still has sendmail 4x higher in terms of servers deployed. Its like bragging that Mondale came in 2nd in the 1984 presidential election. No matter how you slice it, 9-10% is enough of a minority that vpopmail is missing out on a lot. So my original statement stands and I wonder, again, if the vpopmail developers and community would be open to patches that allow an abstraction away from the MTA and, hence, open up a LOT more user (and potential developer) base? -Steve [P.S. - can we un-devolve this discussion into statistics and back into one of using vpopmail with Postfix or other MTAs that happen to not be qmail?]

Yes, and it's with those where there's no alternative to qmail and vpopmail. At least, through a brief search of freshmeat, sf.net and google, I couldn't find anything that comes near vpopmail+qmailadmin+vqadmin+qmail. Have you looked at JAMM? (http://jamm.sourceforge.net/) Basically it's a Java web interface to an LDAP directory for virtual domains and users. It's the same idea as vpopmail, but apparently works with any SMTP/POP3/IMAP server that supports LDAP (read: Postfix + Courier-IMAP from a glance over their HOWTO). A previous admin here implemented a Postfix + Courier-IMAP + OpenLDAP + JAMM email solution for a client. I haven't really poked through the box so I can't say much other than it works for their 8000-odd users and I've never had to troubleshoot it. However, if I had to build a virtualized email box and for some reason couldn't use my usual qmail + vpopmail + qmailadmin combo, JAMM seems like an alternative. Craig Green. - Sentex Communications.
[vchkpw] My Exchange has problem reading from vpopmail
Title: My Exchange has problem reading from vpopmail Hi, I'm not sure the problem is vpopmail but as Exchange get mail from others pop server without apparent problem, I guess it's vpopmail. I have an exchange server (please, it's not _my_ choice) with a pop connector that asks my vpopmail (on a linux) to get the mails. vpopmail 5.2.1--- popcon --- exchange 2k --- outlook 2000 (woody) (w2k server sp3) (w2k sp3) The problem is that Outlook displays the mails as-is, without recognising the recipient, nor the subject of the mails. After some investigations, the problem seems to be the line beginning with From as in From [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Apr 15 09:47:55 2004 (not the field From: xxx) If I suppress this line, the problem disappears and Outlook displays recipient and subject. Another way to solve *manually* the problem is to move this line at the top of the message. The problem comes not from Outlook because if Outlook asks directly the vpopmail server, it's OK. It seems it's not the popcon connector as I try a different one with the same results. Did you see this problem before ? Is there a way I can patch, or configure my vpopmail to avoid this problem ? -- Patrick Paysant Administrateur système * DPO *
[vchkpw] Cdb and mysql auth modules at a time?
Hi all, I've googled for this, but I came to nothing. Is it possible to configure vpopmail to use more than one auth module at a time? In particular, I need it to search into cdb files for some domains, and use a mysql backend for another one. That's because I was asked to consolidate two mail servers on a single machine. The problem is that one server uses cdb files, the other one has a php application manipulating the vpopmail database, which uses the mysql backend. I need to migrate this web application too, so I must keep that domain sticked to mysql. If possible, I'd rather not convert all the other domains to mysql. The older documentation in README.mysql says that "if you want" to convert cdb domains to mysql you should use vconvert; so I think that at least cdb and mysql can be used at the same time. Is it right or wrong? And how can I do that, if it's possible? I tried to ./configure vpopmail with both --enable-auth-module=cdb AND --enable-auth-module=mysql, but only the latter is shown in the configuration summary at the end of the ./configure step. Instead, only cdb is shown if I change their order (that actually makes sense :) By the way, I've tried that with vpopmail 5.4.0.

Cesare D'Amico wrote: Hi all, I've googled for this, but I came to nothing. Is it possible to configure vpopmail to use more than one auth module at a time? That is not going to be possible because the choice of authentication back-end is made by setting a symlink (vauth.c) at compile time. As you found out, the last ./configure option wins. That's because I was asked to consolidate two mail servers on a single machine. The problem is that one server uses cdb files, the other one has a php application manipulating the vpopmail database, which uses the mysql backend. I need to migrate this web application too, so I must keep that domain sticked to mysql. If possible, I'd rather not convert all the other domains to mysql. Migrating everything to MySQL is probably going to be your best bet. If the cdb group is already using qmailadmin they won't notice the difference. Vpopmail is pretty good at abstracting the back end, and it is getting better, so they won't notice if they are using the commands in ~vpopmail/bin either. Managing vpopmail from PHP is in the process of getting easier. Ken Jones just wrote a daemon, and I am working on a PHP extension and a pair of classes that abstract them so a program can use either just by changing one include statement. It is all very much under construction, and I don't suggest you try it unless you are willing to debug and possibly even write some code for the project. You can see what is happening here: http://pmailadmin.sourceforge.net The older documentation in README.mysql says that "if you want" to convert cdb domains to mysql you should use vconvert; so I think that at least cdb and mysql can be used at the same time. Is it right or wrong? I haven't figured out how vconvert does it yet. I will have to one of these days, but not soon. I still run a straight cdb shop. My guess is that vconvert actually does cdb within itself, and provides one SQL back end, the one you selected at compile time. Even though the program --help seems to imply that you can vconvert from mysql to pgsql I don't think it is possible. I would love it if someone who knows would explain it... I think I'll have to do something on the web app then. Or perhaps try to use two sets of vpopmail binaries, which isn't a really appealing possibility. Good luck. Two servers, or a virtual server where each qmail+vpopmail image appeared as a separate machine would be the only ways I would want to keep them separate. If you find a reasonable way, please let us know. Rick

Steve Ames wrote: - Original Message - From: "Rick Widmer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Right. However what I'm saying is that it wouldn't take much to make vpopmail work properly with other MTA. Just jack up the user interface, and replace all the code that does the real work... I don't believe that's true... especially in an SQL environment. I've found code that does low level direct management of qmail all over vpopmail and qmailadmin. I have no doubt vqadmin has it too. There is work in progress to move some of those functions into the vpopmail library, but much remains. I'm not sure which user interface your referring to? The files in ~vpopmail/bin/, or qmailadmin or vqadmin or the stuff I did with PHP. It doesn't matter, they are all full of code that controls qmail directly. The first thing that has to be done is get all that moved inside the library. Once the mail system is at least as well abstracted as the databases we can start thinking about supporting other mail systems. If you want to do something, grab the latest development CVS from SourceFORGE and get familiar with the code. Mbowe has a number of good comments in the source code on things that need to be done. Pick one and submit a patch on the vpopmail-devel (sourceforge) list.
