what are the permissions on the program that is trying to
access that directory?

You should remove the world read and executable permissions.

These permissions do not match the default. You probably have
other permissions that are wrong. Something has gone and 
changed your permissions. I would find that problem too.

problems, in your case are compiler warning messages about
forced type checking on the .c variables. It is only a warning
and not an error. That is why the compile completes.

Any problems you are seeing in autoresponder email delivery is
probably for another reason. I would check in that direction.

The text of the encrypted password should work on either server. You

be able to copy the vpasswd file for each domain.

This was to support the sub directory layout code which uses a single
letter for each sub domain. There is probably a way to re-code the
subdomain names to append a _ character. Then single letter user
names could be made valid.

for authentication requests vpopmail uses the encrypted password field.

When the password is changed (or new user added) the clear text password
is stored in the clear text field then encrypted and stored in the
encrypted password field. 

The clear text password field is display only.

The development version has an --enable-auth-logging=y option.
That puts a time stamp on each account during authentication.

the vdeloldusers program is supposed to check the timestamp
value and allow for automatic deletion if the time stamp
is older than a certain time.

If you are moving accounts and not email then..
get a list of all domains and the "owner" password in clear text.
Then get a list of all accounts and the password in clear text.
Then write a script to call vadddomain and vadduser based
on the above lists.

That is exactly with the inc_deps and lib_deps are there.
Glad they are becoming more useful. I'm sure there are

Hey Bill :)

I can verify that the latest devel works with smtp auth. I tested it
last week. The only requirement is:

1) run smtp as either root (if you have non vpopmail mailboxes) or
   as vpopmail (if all mail accounts are under vpopmail)

Re: sqwebmail 3.0 won't compile:(

[Ken Jones]

The sqwebmail 3.0 specifically uses the 4.10.30 devel release since
4.10.30 is the release canidate for the new 5.0 stable version.
The api in 4.10 has new functions that 4.9 does not have, and some
of these functions are in sqwebmail 3.0. 

The release goal is to have a new stable set
sqwebmail  3.0
vpopmail   5.0
qmailadmin 1.0
vqadmin2.0

[Ken Jones]

Very soon.

As far as I know there are no known bugs or new features needed for
the cdb and mysql modules. They are stable and ready for 5.0.
The oracle, postgresql, sybase and ldap modules are stable but do
not support all the new features, like auth logging.

I would answer your question but am not certain I can legally answer
your question because of the disclaimer.

Could you explain your disclaimer and how it effects me, this globally 
distributed project and inter7's legal risk?

What are the prohibitions? What makes it unlawful?
What actions are your company prepared to take against me, 
our company or others on the mailing list?
Who at your company makes those decisions?
Has your company taken action against other people/groups/companies
in the past?
What was the result of that action?

As far as I know, by posting to the mailing list, your email is
copied, distributed and disclosed. So by posting to the list you
are making everyone here liable to prosecution. Am I right?

What actions are restricted? What omissions are restricted?
"or any action taken or omitted to be taken in reliance thereon"
Could you clarify that statement?

Ahh. I understand now. I tested it with my local server here is what
shows up
in the http logs:

209.218.8.89 - - [01/Aug/2001:13:07:43 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.0" 200 639
"http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/qmailadmin/com/showusers?user=postmaster&time=996689170&dom=test.com&";
"Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i586)"

So you are right. The referal information contains the authentication
information.
But the information can't be used unless the query comes from the same
IP
as the machine used to log in. So it is useless. 

However, some people remove the IP restriction to get around NAT and
proxy settings.

So over all, it is insecure in some cases and not in others.

To be on the safe side we should remove the link.

Sounds like you have an older version of vpopmail
which didn't create those files.

For a mysql site you would need something like:

[kbo@gpl etc]$ more inc_deps
-I/home/vpopmail/include

[kbo@gpl etc]$ more lib_deps
-L/home/vpopmail/lib -lvpopmail -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient -lz

Adjust the -L value to match your mysql settings.

If you are not using mysql remove the -L and -lmysqlclient -lz

Re: Vpopmail 4.10.30 - Vmysql.c possible bug

[Ken Jones]

Thanks Richard,

It was an error in the vmysql.h select statement for the GETALL
function, remove the pw_domain column. 

It is in vpopmail-4.10.31

Nice work!

Yes because qmail-local is delivering the email to
~vpopmail/domains/test.com
and looking for .qmail files

No. "dale" is not a valid email address or a path to a Maildir.
Either put in a full email address or the full path to the Maildir
ie.
/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/dale/Maildir/
or where ever dales' maildir is.

Almost.

If it .qmail-dalec contains an email address you are doing a forward.
if it contains a path to maildir then you are doing an alias.
The difference?

Maildir paths are *much* more efficent for local mail delivery.
email addresses cause the email to be re-injected into qmail
and scheduled for delivery.

With either 
1) a full email address
2) The full path to the Maildir if the Maildir is owned by
   the same system user as the current domain.

Read the qmail man page for dot-qmail
It contains all the information used by qmail-local and .qmail files

Re: mysql setup

[Ken Jones]

Hi JM

The 4.10.31 version has the completed vconversion program. It was
temporarily turned off when the mysql api changed somewhere around
4.10.14. We finally got caught up on the todo list to update 
vconvert. 

--enable-valias=y tells vdelivermail to look up aliases using the valias
api function calls. For mysql sites the aliases are stored in a
mysql table. Mysql people like this because they can write sql
applications to update aliases. For the cdb and all other modules
the valias api uses the standard .qmail files.

--enable-auth-logging=y
Some sites want to lookup the time a user last authenticated
on the system. This option turns that feature on. Uses? sites
can age email accounts, vdeloldusers is an example of ageing/deleting
un used email accounts.

--enable-mysql-replication=y
This is complicated. The short answer it makes the vpopmail
api (and all applications using the api) work with mysql's
replication feature. We used it to place a "read only"
"live" copy of mysql on each email server in a cluster.

Thanks, the new version has better information.

--enable-sqwebmail-pass=y|n   Turn on support for sqwebmail passwords
(y) or off (n) default is no. For sqwebmail-3.0 and above use default no

What version are you running?

Is the domain name in any of the files in these directories
/var/qmail/control/*
/var/qmail/users/*

It might be in the /var/qmail/users/assign (cdb) file
Check the time stamps on the assign and cdb file and make
sure they match. /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu will update
the cdb from the assign file.

4.9.10 added the optional column pw_clear_passwd. Other than that
the table has not changed. Here is my current 4.10 table description
with the --enable-clear-passwd=y option.

With the default of --enable-clear-passwd=n the table looks like:

Looks good.

Yes, it is okay.

The first versions of vpopmail used the same structure and field
names as /etc/passwd. Which simplified the code. But the fields 
do not need the same information. Specifically
pw_uid, pw_gid  do not need to contain the email accounts uid and gid.
   That information is already stored in /var/qmail/users/assign.

So pw_uid and pw_gid are used to hold flags for various options

pw_shell is also not needed since email accounts can not log in and
 get a shell. Instead we used that to hold the quota.

Yes. Something to note: the 4.9.8 version did not include the quota
checking code, hopefully to speed up processing. But the developers 
found an efficent way to include the quota code. So quota processing
is always available and controlled by the pw_shell value. NOQUOTA
means no quota processing and a Number means the quota and to do
quota processing.

Have you tried logging into pop with telnet and entering
user/pass while watching the log file? Try to reproduce
the problem.

The information you report doesn't show enough information to
make the conclusion that there is anything wrong, it could be
someone logging in with the wrong password.

Please read the README.oracle file:

Edit voracle.h and set the service, user and password information.

Then run:

Last time we tested the oracle module it worked with

What would "optimizing" get you? Faster lookups or 
faster updates? It uses Dan Bernsteins cdb code so
any optimizations would need to be in the cdb code.

If you want faster use I suggest you switch to
an sql module like mysql. Mysql is built to handle
multiple updates/add/delete/lookups with an index.

>From my experience the cdb module is not fast enough
for updates with over 5000 users. It is, however, still
very fast for lookups.

Re: vpopmail and courier imap

[Ken Jones]

The latest versions of courier-imap and sqwebmail require
the latest vpopmail 4.10 development version.

The bounce/disable bit flag code wasn't finished in the

Hopefully when someone gets some time it will get updated.

try adding and deleteing several times.
It might also be your /home/qmail/bin/"program" settings. 
It would work without these settings (default to /var/qmail/bin)
and a symbolic link between /var/qmail and /home/qmail
(just an idea)

What have you done for me lately?

[Ken Jones]

So I'm here, working on code, looking at the TV thinking...
What does the world need from email software?


I'm saying, how can we do everything within reason to
build the best email system in the world.

Got any ideas? You folks live with this stuff every day
you gotta have ideas (unless we fixed it a while ago)


And If we did fix it, got any sneaky, dastardly ideas
on how to insinuate ourselfs into the major corporate
networks?

It's just a hobby of mine, taking over major systems.

I just looked through the vpopmail code. Take a look at the
vpalias.c file. This file is included if --enable-valias=n.
It has all the functions needed to manage .qmail files
in a domain directory. For example:

char *valias_select( char *alias, char *domain );
char *valias_select_next();
int valias_insert( char *alias, char *domain, char *alias_line);
int valias_delete( char *alias, char *domain);
char *valias_select_all( char *alias, char *domain );
char *valias_select_all_next(char *alias);

With these functions you can manage all the .qmail files.
the valias command line program uses these functions.

qmailadmin hasn't been updated to use these functions.

btw: for vpopmail-4.10, it looks stable. Unless there are
any more bugs or major features needed, lets move it 
to a stable 5.0 release.

vpopmail-4.10.35 release

[Ken Jones]

vpopmail-4.10.35 is available.
This is a security fix.

This is the first pre5.0 canidate. If no problems are
found in the next week this will be the 5.0 release.

Changes from 4.10.34 are:

1) vpopmail/lib directory is now owned by root
   and read/write/execute only by root.

2) vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a is also owned by
   root and read/write only by root.

These changes make it impossible for non root
users to compile programs which use the vpopmail
library. This should restrict the ability for
a regular user to create a vpopmail application
and then core dump it to view the contents of
the libvpopmail.a library, which includes the
authentication information to databases,
like mysql, oracle or ldap.

Re: vchkpw and qmail smtp-auth patch

[Ken Jones]

the vpopmail library restricts access to the authentication
information unless running as root or the owner of the
virtual domain. 

You need to either run the smtp server as root or 
if all your domains are owned by vpopmail,then run
it as the vpopmail/vchkpw uid/gid

You might also want to update to 4.10.35 or 4.10.34

Re: Postfix + vpopmail

[Ken Jones]

I've received email from a person who made changes
to the vpopmail distribution so that it works with
postfix. The changes are not in the development
distribution yet. 

Aparently the changes include
1) how to call the vdelivermail as the local
   delivery agent.

2) Changes to not call the qmail programs:
   qmail-newu, qmail-newmrh, qmail-inject
   and instead call the postfix programs.

enable large site has been removed from 4.10 and replaced with
  --enable-many-domains=n|y   
Default is yes, no optimizes for sites with one domain and many users

You want --enable-many-domains=n

Which means it is looking for only one table "vpopmail"
that holds all the users. You have one table per domain.
Hence it can't find the user in the vpopmail table.

Re: Problems with open-smtp (Roaming)

[Ken Jones]

This is a known problem in 4.9.10 and seems to be fixed
in 4.10.35 and 5.0.

If you have heavy traffic for roaming users I recommend
using mysql. It has much better file locking for updating
the list of temporary IP's (open-smtp is in a table)

I would do what you did. 
Sounds more like the courier-imap build should be re-thought.
Keeping ~vpopmail/lib and ~vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a restricted
to root is the only available method to secure the database
authentication information that is compiled into the library.

I'm open to any other ideas that work.

vpopmail-5.0pre1

[Ken Jones]

Hi Folks,

The summer is over (here in the US) and it's time we have a new
vpopmail-5.0 release to start the year out right.

I do not want to add in any new features which require a new
round of testing. Any new features can be added to 5.1 (devel version)
and later released as a production version 5.2.

So I would like to release vpopmail-4.10.36 as vpopmail-5.0pre1.

The two features I would like to put in the 5.1 devel version
are Vlad's new auth code for
pop3 capa
pop3 auth login & cram-md5
smtp auth login & cram-md5
pop3 APOP.

And Enar's vaddaliasdomain code.

What do you folks think?

There is code that uses vget_assign to see if a domain exists, 
and then get the dir, uid, gid of the domain. It would be okay
to return the masterdomain info.

How do you know if a domain is aliased?

No, this is not the problem. You are mixing apples and oranges,
specifically: 
1) smtp authentication before relay
2) pop authentication before relay

The pop method is invisible to the Mail User Agent so
Netscape has no problem with it.

When you setup Netscape there is a way to type in your
user name to send to the smtp server. If you do that,
netscape assumes there is smtp authentication. If you
do not type anything in for user/smtp server, then it
does not try.

If you want to use the pop method don't tell netscape
to try the smtp authentication method.

If you want to use smtp authentication then give netscape
the smtp user name values.

So it sounds like your problem is Netscape is not configured
for what ever method you are trying to use.

All the releases back to the first ones that supported roaming
users has worked with netscape. I know because I used netscape
as my MUA. All current releases also work.

the current 5.0 pre release definitly works with smtp authentication.
I know because I set one up last week and it worked fine.

No hacks needed, you probably have something misconfigured,
or it is some other, unrelated issue.

RE: where does the "netscape bug" problem actually fall

[Ken Jones]

I was thinking about this last night.

Do you have your qmail-smtpd setup to do authentication?
If so, it might require your netscape to do smtp authentication.

Sounds like you have qmail-smtpd compiled to do authentication.
Netscape automatically detects it and requires the user to put
in a name. Nothing to do with vpopmail.

Did you patch qmail-smtpd to have authentication?
What patched code did you use?
What exact line do you use to run your smtpd server?

Please do not modify the table definition.

Set the password field to a blank string "", not a NULL. 
with vpopmail-5.0pre3, use the --enable-learn-passwords=y
option.

With this option, vchkpw will accept any password for an
account with a blank password. Then it will update the
authentication data to have this new password. It only
does this if the password field is blank. Once the password
field is not blank it won't do this. So it only does it
the first time. 

Also, the vadduser command takes a -n option to set the
users password to blank. 

Please download and test the vpopmail-5.0pre3 version
and test it to see if you can cause it to crash. Please
try it with your modified table (allow NULL), and then
try it with the orignal table definition. I want to
see if you can still crash vchkpw.

You probably used --enable-hardquota=y 
That will cause the compilation to fail.

use the configuration option --enable-hardquota=size-in-bytes
to change the size of the hard quota per user.

Please try this again and report what happens.

5.0pre3, tomorrow it will be 5.0. Is actually the last
4.10 version. There are no known problems. I personally
set it up on a 4 machine cluster with over 300,000 users
and it has been rock solid for 2 months.

I recommend the 5.0 release. 5.0 is going to be the 
recommended version to use with sqwebmail 3.0. Took

Users with _ character and authentication

[Ken Jones]

I tried to replicate the problem you saw with
[EMAIL PROTECTED] on my machine.

I can't get it to break. And I tested with
the cdb and mysql modules

./vadddomain test.com test
./vadduser [EMAIL PROTECTED] test
telnet localhost 110
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
pass test

Said okay.

Not sure how to handle this. Sounds like vadduser should 
check for a the directory before it creates it, or something.

What exactly get's clobbered?

Deferring email delivery when mysql is not availalble

[Ken Jones]

Turns out this was easier than I thought. 
I just tested it and I get the following when
mysql isn't running..

@40003b97e8190189749c status: local 1/100 remote 0/400
@40003b97e81905e95034 delivery 1: deferral:
could_not_connect_to_mysql_updat
e_server/
@40003b97e81905e9929c status: local 0/100 remote 0/400

Then later when mysql is turned back on:

@40003b97e87e25d52094 starting delivery 3: msg 471450 to local
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
@40003b97e87e25d57e54 status: local 1/100 remote 0/400
@40003b97e87e2819adac delivery 3: success: did_0+0+1/
@40003b97e87e2819ec2c status: local 0/100 remote 0/400
@40003b97e87e281a0784 end msg 471450

It will be in pre4 on the vpopmail devel page tonight.

Interesting, but overly complext in my opinion. Qmail
already supports redelivery of the email, might was well
let qmail handle all the complex safe email delivery stuff.

Check your control files, make sure the domain is in there.

Then check the qmail/users/assign file and make sure it's
in there too.

Then check for a .qmail-default file in the domain's directory

Check the permissions, everything under vpopmail's home dir
should be owned by vpopmail/vchkpw.

Check if you can add and delete new users, and send them email

Re: vipmap,courier-imap and default domain

I think once 5.0 is released we should review the

vpopmail core dump with NULL mysql fields

[Ken Jones]

I updated the vmysql.c module to support NULL fields.
Probably not a good idea for anything to core dump :)

It will be in tonights pre5 release.

Ken

vpopmail-5.0pre5

[Ken Jones]

pre5 is available for download.

One issue addressed and I think fixed is aliased domains.

You can now authenticate against an aliased domain with
the vchkpw pop auth program.

There is a vget_real_domain( char *domain, int buff_size)
function that looks up the domain in the assign cdb file.
Aliased domains have the same directory as the real domain

For example:

+test.com-:test.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com:-::
+ken.com-:ken.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com:-::

test.com is the real domain and ken.com is the aliased 
domain. Notice that both have the same directory
/home/vpopmail/domains.test.com

the vget_real_domain parses the domain name out of
the directory path, and sets the "domain" buffer
to be what is found in the path. 

Hence, pop authentication for [EMAIL PROTECTED] would have
the "ken.com" part changed to "test.com". Then the
vchkpw program proceeds are normal, doing a 
vauth_getpw( "user", "test.com") 

Ken Jones
"Only three more coding days to 5.0"

RE: vpopmail-5.0pre5

[Ken Jones]

Here is what I have after running
vadddomain test.com
vaddaliasdomain ken.com test.com

virtualdomains:
test.com:test.com
ken.com:ken.com

users/assign:
+test.com-:test.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com:-::
+ken.com-:ken.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/test.com:-::

ls -l /home/vpopmail/domains
ken.com -> /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com
test.com

And it works for me. the key thing here is the right hand
side of the virtualdomains file and the corresponding
path to the domain. 

ken.com has /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com resulting
in the domain being set to test.com. 

I tested it with ./configure --enable-mysql=y 
make ; make install-strip

The path for the alias domain in the assign file must have 
the path to the real domain. Which 5.0pre4 will setup automatically.

The first thing to do is to explain exactly what you
mean by "stop". Saying "stop" is too general of a term.

Do you mean pop authentication? web authentication?
imap authentication? email delivery?
Are all the various servers still running?
Is qmail-send still running? Is you pop server still
running? is your smtp server still running?

What do you qmail logs say? 
Are permissions being changed on files or
directories?

I wish solaris would make up it's mind on where the "id"
program lives. I've received emails from solaris folks
that have it in /usr/xpg4/bin and others that have
it in /usr/xpgr4/id (with no bin)


Hopefully Sun will dump it's Solaris OS and put it's
money behind Linux with all the GNU tools.

No, I was talking about newly added domains and alias domains.
I don't have any old systems with aliased domains to look at,
so I can't be positive that old systems were set up this way.
But I think they are compatible, since the alias code hasn't
changed. 

I'm thinking if we but the vset_default_domain and
vget_alias_domain calls in the vauth_getpw function
then sqwebmail and courier-imap will automatically 
work with aliased domains.

I think we are going to get alot of these questions.

courier-imap wants to be configured as non-root. And for
security reasons vpopmail 5.0 only lets root access the
library directory.

I see two solutions:

1) remove the root only access to vpopmail library

2) Put in a HIGHLY visiable FAQ for courier-imap configure/make
   and possibly include a vpopmail section in courier-imap's 
   next release.

If we do 1) we won't get these couerier-imap questions, but
security won't be as tight. If we do 2) we will still get
emails like this.

I thought changing the permissions on vpopmail/lib directory
would cause problems, that's why I was against it. But it
seems security is of higher concern.

What do you folks think? Should we keep the restricted
permissions or open them up? 5.0 is going out today, so
comments are welcome today :)

Add -H and -R options to your pop3 and smtpd tcpserver startup

yes, in /var/qmail/control
Look at virtualdomains, rcpthosts morercpthosts and locals.
Sometimes running vdeldomain, vadddomain again will fix it.

That looks okay. 2/j means the next account is put under 
the 2/j directory.

You mean the user name or the gecos field?

You can change the gecos field with vmoduser. 
I'm not sure if you can change the user name field.

Yes. Please test vpopmail-5.0pre5 (or whatever is
latest on the web site)

Please test today, I want to release it tonight.

Is this for email delivered to the catch all account from the
.qmail-default file, or a straight vdelivermail from the authentication 
database.

Not in all cases. Now that vpopmail supports .qmail files in the users
directories, mail loops can be created, since qmail isn't involved.

example:

email to user1@domain
vdelivermail checks database and gets
/home/vpopmail/domains/domain/user1
from the database. Finds a .qmail file there containing.
&user2@domain.

vdelivermail then checks if user2@domain is in the database. If not
it sends it to qmail-inject. If it finds it then it gets the users
directory /home/vpopmail/domains/domain/user2. If that directory
has a .qmail file containing &user1@domain then it will deliver
to user1@domain.  Hence the loop.
