Hello,
I'm using vpopmail in conjunction with courier-imap and qmail-pop3.
The
open-smtp relay
feature to allow people who authenticate to relay mail
works great.
The problem I have is that when an IMAP user logs in, the
open-smtp file gets
updated successfully with the IP address of the client,
but the ownership of
the file changes to root instead of vpopmail, I'm guessing
that is
because courier is running as root. The ownership changes
back
to vpopmail after
the next scheduled run of clearopensmtp, but until that
happens, no pop3
people can relay because the pop3 server runs as
vpopmail and it
can't write to the open-smtp file until it's ownership is
corrected. Did
I set vpopmail up incorrectly or is this a problem with
courier?
I am not sure if
courier supports running as a non-root user. It involves
a
lot of binaries so I
can't just go changing things suid vpopmail.
Thanks for any ideas
on this,
Dave
