[vchkpw] ampersand (&) in email-address possible ?
Hi, my research showed that it should pe possible (legal, as far as the standard is concerned) to use the ampersand-character (&) in an email-address (like john&[EMAIL PROTECTED]). I migrated an installation to vpopmail, where the previous system (postfix) apparently had such email-addresses. Is it possible to create these addresses with qmail or vpopmail ? Note that I personally consider this idea to be complete BS, because you can't be sure what the next infestation of OE makes of it (when entering the address at the client-side) but nevertheless...

Sure it is... Very simple really... ~vpopmail/bin/vadduser "john&[EMAIL PROTECTED]" password And OE6 doesn't complain about it for some reason (strange how a M$ app doesn't complain.

I tried vadduser -r -q 300 "john&[EMAIL PROTECTED] and it complained that "You did not use a full email address for the user name Only full email addresses should be used" Now, I tried to specify the password directly and it worked. Strange. Thanks a lot !

[EMAIL PROTECTED] install]# ~vpopmail/bin/vadduser 'larry&[EMAIL PROTECTED]' bobbo [EMAIL PROTECTED] install]# shows up with vuserinfo and I'm able to authenticate with it properly, and a test message successfully arrives in larry&frank's mailbox, etc. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

I know what the problem is, but haven't had the time to correct it.

[vchkpw] clear-passwd
Hi List, I have my Qmail+vpopmail setup for a year now and it works great. Vpopmail is compiled is compiles with mysql-support and clear-passwd, my wish is to recompile vpopmail without support for clear-passwd. Is this possible, could vpopmail have troubles to read the tables correctly? Everyone done this before? Werner

Everyone done this before? yes. ./configure --help and the only 'problem' you might see is if you're using smtp auth, and that's that cram-md5 won't work. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

[vchkpw] Pop3 auth problems (vpopmail+mysql)
Hi everyone, I'm having some problems with qmail-pop3d autentication (it invokes vchkpw). I have a mysql database on a remote host which keeps all the information of vpopmail (through vpopmail.mysql file) There's what's happening: mail006:/var/qmail/supervise# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user [EMAIL PROTECTED] +OK pass 123 I get this when i telnet to port 110. User goes ok, but pass... I don't get any answer from qmail-pop3d (even if the password is wrong). I have vpopmail-5.4.7 on a debian-sarge box (kernel 2.6). i have libmysqlclient and mysql-client packages installed. The connection with the database is working. I tested it with the mysql-client program. Thanks Rafael Felix Correa

Re: [vchkpw] Vchkpw authorization problem
So authorization fails with (aack, child crashed) from telnet/mail client but when I login locally from the same machine it works fine (see below). Does this mean there is something up with tcpserver?? Please advise.
