Re: [vchkpw] smtp auth
Hi, I've installed SPAMCONTROL and i've modified the tcp.smtp file like you say (:allow,REQUIREAUTH="") but now nobody can send me e-mail the sender receive the message: Your message has encountered delivery problems to the following recipient(s): [EMAIL PROTECTED] Delivery failed 535 authentication failed (#5.7.1) No recipients were successfully delivered to. bye, signo Erwin Hoffmann wrote: Erwin Hoffmann wrote: Hi, At 10:49 19.05.04 +0200, you wrote: Erwin Hoffmann wrote:Hi, At 09:46 19.05.04 +0200, signo wrote: hello, i ve 2 problems first: I've installed qmail 1.03 with qmail-smtpd-auth-043.

[vchkpw] passwords
Hi, My boss recently noticed something I didnt: vpopmail (noticed on qmailadmin and squirrelmail using courier-imap) accepts passwords with garbage at the end. Lets say, my password is "secret". If I type "secretJSDSDALSDKJFLASF", qmailadmin will accept it as a valid password. It doesnt accept with garbage "inside" the password, or before. How can I correct that? Is this a known issue? I've tested with vpopmail 5.4.3 + qmailadmin 1.2.0 AND also with vpopmail 4.9.10 + qmailadmin 0.45 (our "museum" servers), both have the save problem. I appreciate any help.. --Jw.

Please create a test account with password 'password', test this account and if it is authenticated with "garbage at the end" please post the encrypted password from 'vpasswd' of this account. I assume your installation does not use MD5 routines in 'crypt()' function, and therefore your passwords are limited to a maximum of 8 characters. All passwords with exactly 8 characters (so NOT 'secret' as this are only 6) than will be accepted if the first 8 characters of input match. This is due to the fact 'crypt()', using only DES, only takes the first 8 characters.

To be sure recompile vpopmail (don't forget a 'make clean' before) with all your configure options PLUS '--enable-md5-passwords'. If you have any '--disable-md5-passwords' option set, remove it. I don't know a save way to figure if your libcrypt.so supports MD5-passwords, but I've found that 'strings /lib/libcrypt.so.1 |grep -i md5' returned 'md5-crypt.c' and '__md5_crypt_r', which I'd take as a hint my libcrypt is MD5-enabled and the encrypted passwords in my vpasswd confirm this assumption. > Is this a known issue?

[vchkpw] Filtering SPAM
Hi all, I'm trying to filter incoming mail using the following mail-filter: - VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED]" VHOME=`/home/vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo -d [EMAIL PROTECTED] # try filtering it using user-defined rules if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/) { exception { include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter } # then send it to the .SPAM folder exception { to "$VHOME/Maildir/.SPAM/" } # or try delivering it to the Trash folder exception { to "$VHOME/Maildir/.Trash/" } # if not go on with delivery exception { to "$VPOP" } } else { exception { include $VHOME/Maildir/.mailfilter } # if not go on with delivery exception { to "$VPOP" } } --- It is called from .qmail-default as in "| /usr/local/bin/maildrop mailfilter" Now, if mail is sent to an account using the exact account name, mail is delivered as it should be. However, If I send mail to an account using an alias (via fastforward), mail doesn't get delivered. Why? I'm using VPOP="| /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' [EMAIL PROTECTED]" which is the same as in the (old) .qmail-default file. The mail-filter is chown'ed vpopmail:vchkpw and the log file says local delivery is delivering "...to local [EMAIL PROTECTED]". But nothing ever arrives. Anybody knows why this isn't working?

You're welcome. > Is it possible to convert all "old" passwords from the old format > (MD5-disabled crypt()) to the new format? If you have plain passwords enabled: yes. Should be sufficient to delete the encrypted passwords from vpasswd (empty the second field) with 'awk') and let the users log in again. Authentication will/should succeed, because the clear password is still there and encrypted password will be set, as vchkpw recognizes it is empty. This is from the top of my head, I haven't tested recently or with one of the latest releases, so you're advised to test yourself with a non-important account before applying the change globally. Don't forget to run 'vmkpasswd $DOMAIN' after you modified the 'vpasswd' file(s) and before you try to login (e.g. via POP3). -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther If the probability of success is not almost one, then it is damn near zero.
