[vchkpw] small fix for vpopmaild
Hello..
My domains are located somewhere else then ~vpopmail/domains/somedomain.com
(each system user has his own domains/ directory in his homedir).
Since vpopmaild doesn't allow a server admin to use the
read_file/list_dir/write_file ... functions for those domains, I wrote a
small patch.
Imho a serveradmin account should be able to access ALL domains handled by
vpopmail, so I think this patch should get included in the next release.
Patch is for vpopmail-5.4.18

Re: [vchkpw] maildrop with bounce-no-mailbox
more thoughts.. the reason why maildrop exits 75 is the sigpipe it receives, because vdelivermail exits 100 without reading the pipe. so a hack would be to always read the input, even if the user does not exist. i might prepare a patch for this on the weekend. you could test this right now by changing your to maildropfilter line to something like: VPOP=| /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox to | /usr/bin/tee /dev/null 2/dev/null $VPOP hm.. i'm going to test this over the weekend instead of a patch.. -- Mit internetten Grüßen / Best Regards --- Justin Heesemannionium Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.ionium.org
[vchkpw] maildrop with bounce-no-mailbox
Hi.. although this is a highly maildrop regarded question, I have to ask here, since maildrop folks seem to be unresponsive.. some of you are using maildrop together with vpopmail, usually somewhere in the maildirfilter file there's some line like VPOP=| /var/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox to $VPOP this works totally fine, when the user exists. however if he doesn't, vpopmail exits 100, which seems to be a great problem for maildrop: any process not exiting 0 makes maildrop exit with code 75. this is especially bad, because 75 means for qmail to defer this message and try it again and again until the queuelifetime is reached. and we all know about those little spammers trying invalid usernames... so, how do you do it? use the chkuser patch for qmail, so no illegal users get into the queue? write a wrapper for vpopmail so that it exits 0 even when the user doesn't exist? use some hack for maildrop?? each way seems to have it's own disadvantage :/ -- Mit internetten Grüßen / Best Regards --- Justin Heesemannionium Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.ionium.org

If anyone else would be interested in a working php extension, let me know. We are using the 5.3.29 series and php 4.3.x, so work would mainly support newer versions, not really old vpopmail versions or older php versions for now. I'll contact the vpopmail extension owner, and maybe give a status update later if anyone's interested. The problem with the php extension is, that apache has to run as vpopmail user. So I've written a small daemon which takes care of all of vpopmail's functions for administration (adding domains, aliases, users...). php can talk to it with some easy functions and authentification is integrated as well..

Hi list,
Running vpopmail 5.2.1 we noticed the following:
We have 17287 virtual domains in /var/vpopmail/domains and new
domains are now placed in /var/vpopmail/domains/0/ (100 in total) and
/var/vpopmail/domains/1/ (65 at this moment).
Is there a maximum per directory ? And, if yes, the maximum is?
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/vpopmail/domains# ls -1 |wc -l
17287
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/vpopmail/domains# cd 0/

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/vpopmail/domains/1# ls -1 |wc -l
65
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/vpopmail/domains/1#
well, i have this from the source (bigdir.c).
it looks like the maximum of users/domains per directory is 100 (it's
defined in vauth.h : MAX_USERS_PER_LEVEL 100)
this seems to match your /[0-9]/ subdirectories. Ho you ended up, having
that enormous amount in your domain root dir, is somewhat more
difficult:
it looks like, vpopmail counts domains per directory and uid.
meaning: you can add 100 domains for user customer1 ('vadddomain -u
customer1 domain.com') and they all are created in /var/vpopmail/
domains/
then you add another 100 domains for user customer2 ('vadddomain -u
customer2 domain.com') and they also get created in /var/vpopmail/
domains/
so, i assume, in your case, you have at least 173 different system users
with an average of almost 100 domains per user.

However, this is rather awkward to use for several users. I guess a more centralised way to do this would be to run bogofilter from qmail-queue and to use maildrop to filter the messages as they are delivered, or even filter in the MUA. bogofilter is best used with different spam/ham lists for every user. as it learns, which mail users receive you'll get less good results when you use only one database for all. furthermore, imagine a newsletter. some users may see it as spam, and mark it that way.. i use it in a domain based way: one database for each domain (they have only few users, who often share the same interests) also, why do you have to filter the mail for them? add the **spam** part to the subject and have them filter those mails themselves. -- Mit internetten Grüßen / Best Regards --- Justin Heesemannionium Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.ionium.org

I would say that we should do what you were intending by using the current values as domain permissions, and add a field for default_user_permissions that would populate the gid field of the user password entry. What I would also do is encapsulate the code you wrote into a function (you don't need the #ifdefs) and have it return the mask which can be AND'd with the gid field of the password entry. This masking function could go into vlimits.c and called in the vauth_getpw() functions. sounds good to me. I guess a single field added to the mysql table for default_user_permissions is enough, as it only has to contain the mask. (Well, we could have done this to the disable_* as well, it wouldn't bloat the mysql table that much) something like enforced_domain_permissions and default_user_permissions .. but if it's to late to change that now, i won't object :) i'm adding two functions now: vget_limits_default_mask (const char *domain, int *mask) vget_limits_enforced_mask (const char *domain, int *mask) but I thought about making some changes to vset_limits/vget_limits plus changing the structure of .qmail-limits/mysql:vpopmail.limits to drop all the disable_* and replace it with the masks. i'll also add an update script which makes the necessary changes to existing .qmailadmin-limits/mysql:vpopmail.limits only someone would have to alter the qmailadmin for me (i've never touched that thing :) ) (well .. i will only start with the altered tables/.qmailadmin-limits files if you say it's ok..

One thing you should remember is that the vlimits API is for full domain limits, not individual users. There are permission bits in the GID field in the password entry for the user. These I believe work. Before actually implementing the API, I sent out a request for all the additional items people wanted to see over and above what I wanted. This way the database schema would only have to be written once, and filled in later. Some limit the qmailadmin app, others go directly into vdelivermail. Others will go into other areas. Overall, I think we have a functional system as is, with placeholders for future features. The wishlist is high, but only so many things can make each release. If you've got the cycles and can crank out some of it tonight, send in a patch. Hm, i tried to explain by mentioning disable_imap as an example. disable_pop, disable_smtp, disable_webmail ... things like that should be cared for in vchkpw. furthermore, vadduser doesn't care for maxpopaccounts, valias ignores maxaliases... I guess it's ok, the way it is now. And: I love it the way it is for a 5.3.20. But: not for 5.4.0. The next stable release shouldn't have placeholders for a very nice system and get some of the features added for every update release.

If I'm on the road and just check my mail via web2mail.com (or something similar).. I might expect the very important job offer/customer request/. to still be in my pop3 account and not being deleted for some dumb 7mb spam. and even if that 7mb mail was more important than any old mail i still have in my pop3 account: the sender is notified, that i did not get it and may therefor send it again.

I really think we should finish vlimits before 5.4.0. At least to an extent where it actually is doing something. Its been working for me since mid last year. I've submitted the patches only this year, starting around January. It essentially wraps the .qmailadmin-limits file access to an API and also allows the information to be stored in MySQL. When I put together the API, I had asked for other wishlist items, which I put into the structures but haven't implemented such as permissions. The quotas, limits, defaults limits, etc. all work fine and have been for quite some time. So I have no idea what you mean that it should do something. The infrastructure is now there for people to implement the items they wished for. If I get spare cycles, I'll look at them, but the areas I use were done a year ago, except for domain quotas which was completed last month. Brian ok, sorry brian :) it is just that i don't use qmailadmin and i don't want to. if i have some option in my vlimits which denies imap, then why does vchkpw allow me to login via imap ?? this is what i feel vlimit should do. for limiting some userfrontend i actually don't need any feature of vpopmail, as i can easily use my own mysql tables. furthermore there is no single ./vsetlimit utility. this isn't meant to attack you in any way, brian, and i didn't say _you_ should do all this. you did a great job adding the vlimits, which are able to do more, than they are doing at the moment. -- Mit internetten Grüßen / Best Regards --- Justin Heesemannionium Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.ionium.org

Just one question: what are your users doing with mail in
$VHOME/Maildir/.JunkMail ? They have to access it in one way as you never can
be sure whether it is really _only_ spam (well, this is why you save it and
don't simply drop it). So.. are they all using imap ?
Because this was worrying me. Setting up a spamfilter (i personally would
stick with bogofilter..) is not my problem, but finding a way for my users to
handle the spam marked mails.
The X-Bogosity/X-Spam headers would be just great, but not all MUAs support
filtering for userdefined headers (at least outlook express for windows
doesn't). So i thought about offering two different solutions which my users
could choose from:
a) Simply add the X-Bogosity/X-Spam-Status Header for those who don't use MS
oe.
b) Move Spammail to a second popaccount [EMAIL PROTECTED] since outlookexpress
can easily handle several pop accounts.
As i thought of using mailaddresses for controlling the spamfilter anyway,
this would just fit my plan.
any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] calls bogofilter with register mail as spam (and
eventually drops the mail to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] pop3 account)
any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] calls bogofilter with register mail as ham
(and eventually drops the mail at the [EMAIL PROTECTED] pop3 account)

[vchkpw] new vpopmail php extension, here comes 0.1
just for those who want to test it http://www.ionium.org/php/php_vpopmail-0.1.tar.gz unpack and read vpopmail/php_vpopmail-0.1.txt oh.. and just that disclaimer thing: if this breaks anything, it's because you like to use some untested alpha code. however it did work on my machine (well.. i didn't test for everything) and should be pretty aliasdomain safe (which the old php extension definitivly was not). This means, you can use vpopmail_something (user, aliasdomain, someother params); and it does exactly the same as vpopmail_something (user, realdomain, someother params); -- Best Regards --- Justin Heesemannionium Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.ionium.org
[vchkpw] vdeldomain deletes directory even when aliasdomain still exist
hmm.. just wondering. domain.com is the maindomain (with it's directory ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com) alias.com is the alias domain for domain.com (so it's directory is ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com, too) vdeldomain(alias.com) seems to work. alias.com is removed from rcpthosts, virtualdomains and users/assign vdeldomain(domain.com) deletes the domain from rcpthosts, virtualdomains, users/assign _and_ removes the directory ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com even if alias.com still points there. either there should be a feature which stops and tells you, that there are still existing aliases, or it should rename rename the dir to alias.com (or a random other alias domain) and update the users/assign file accordingly. I vote for the second one. -- Best Regards --- Justin Heesemannionium Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.ionium.org
[vchkpw] new php module
Hi.. since I'm writing a new vpopmail extension for php without the bugs with valiases and aliasdomains, I'm looking for people to test it, before posting it to the php guys. Anyone interested ? This version will be compatible to the existing one, so no changes in your php code are required. -- Best Regards, Justin Heesemann

Re: [vchkpw] bandwidth monitoring
On Friday 13 September 2002 10:12, Nick Twaddell wrote: So is there anyway to monitor traffic on customers email virtualhosts? So i can keep track of the bandwidth their domain is using through qmail? The Problem is, that POP3 Bandwith isn't logged (with unpatched qmail) So you either have to use a patch which does, or you can use the SMTP logs (which is of course less accurate. Based on the fact every mail gets, gets out somewhen again, you could count all mails to local domains twice.) A patch for qmail-pop3d can be found at http://www.lamer.de/maex/creative/software/qmail/103-pop3log/ it adds logging capabilities for user logon/logoff and bytes transferred. -- Best Regards --- Justin Heesemannionium Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.ionium.org

Well, actually, I wanted the double bounce to go to the DOMAIN that's bouncing...so, [EMAIL PROTECTED] would bounce to some account on domain1.com (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]) and [EMAIL PROTECTED] would bounce to some account on domain2.com (like [EMAIL PROTECTED]). I don't suppose that's possible, though, eh? Wow .. yeah.. that's something i would like to be able to do too. There must be some way to do so.. maybe some kind of a patch ?

yaqsap problems with vchkpw
Hi. I want to run qmail with smtp auth, so i patched qmail with yaqsap (yet another qmail smtp auth patch). i run qmail-smtp with #!/bin/sh QMAILDUID=`id -u qmaild` NOFILESGID=`id -g vpopmail` MAXSMTPD=`cat /var/qmail/control/concurrencyincoming` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -p -R -H -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c $MAXSMTPD \ -u $QMAILDUID -g $NOFILESGID 0 smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd \ mail.mydomain.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 21 so as you can see, i use the three arguments hostname checkprogram true as yaqsap also patches the qmail-smtpd man page i'll post an extract of it too: # man qmail-smtpd NAME qmail-smtpd - receive mail via SMTP SYNOPSIS qmail-smtpd [ hostname checkprogram subprogram ] DESCRIPTION . qmail-smtpd can accept LOGIN, PLAIN, and CRAM-MD5 AUTH types. It invokes checkprogram, which reads on file descriptor 3 the username, a 0 byte, the password or chal lenge derived from hostname, another 0 byte, a CRAM-MD5 response (if applicable to the AUTH type), and a final 0 byte. checkprogram invokes subprogram upon successful authentication, which should in turn return 0 to qmail- smtpd, effectively setting the environment variables RELAYCLIENT and TCPREMOTEINFO (any supplied value replaced with the authenticated username). qmail-smtpd will reject the authentication attempt if it receives a nonzero return value from checkprogram or subprogram. --- well. when i try to use smtp auth from a client (in this case i tried outlook express with auth login) qmail tells me: Out of memory (Needed 8164 bytes) 454 oops, problem with child and I can't auth (#4.3.0) after the username and password are send. someone in the qmail list has suggested to leave out the hostname argument, which indeed solves the problem, but it doesnt check for valid passwords then. (i guess it then uses /bin/true for password checking) do you have an idea of what that out of memory message wants me to do ? /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw exists, is world executable, i even tried to setuid it, but nothing happens. when i run qmail-smtp as root, the same out of memory occurs, too. i use /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw as checkprogram for qmail-popup /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -l mail.mydomain.com -v -p -R -H 0 pop3 \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup mail.mydomain.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir And it works fine.

Re: traffic accounting
I took a look at all packages various people suggested, and mrtg looks the best to me, because the others don't process the pop3 traffic. But is there a way to get total traffic figures for a month in bytes including smtp/pop3 on a per domain basis ? as i said: no log to analyse, no statistic. mrtg may be a nice thing, but it needs (at least i guess so) something to analyse. qmail logfiles for example. this works, so you can get smtp traffic statistics with mrtg. BUT: there are no logfiles listing which mails a user retrieved via pop3. something like: @40003bc803273562214c RETR 10543 [EMAIL PROTECTED] simply does not exist afaik. (10543 being the size of the mail) /Justin
Re: vpopmail-5 versions?
sorry to bother you with this one, but I couldn't find a conclusive answer in the archives or on the website. Currently we use the latest vpopmail release, along with the latest qmailadmin release, as referenced to on http://www.inter7.com/freesoftware/index.html. What is the current status of vpopmail-5? There were indications that v5 is out, but it doesn't look like it on the website. well, http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/vpopmail-5.0.tar.gz seems to be a valid link :) it's not listed on the vpopmail page, but it exists. -- Mit internetten Grüßen --- Justin Heesemannionium Technologies [EMAIL PROTECTED]www.ionium.org

strange ip after authorisation
hi.. i was some people using my mailserver, that they can't send mail anymore. as i have enabled authlogging in vpopmail i took a look into the lastauth table (yes, --enable-mysql) and was stunned that some people seem to have authed from 0.0.0.0 it says, e.g userdomainremote_ip timestamp postmaster test.com 0.0.0.0 1001705400 on the other hand, i never had this problem, and other's didn't too.. (real ip listed in remote_ip) so, does anybody has a clue why vpopmail doesn't get the ip right and sometimes does get it ? (oh.. and this was 4.10.29 ) Best Regards, Justin

Re[2]: attachment size does not tally
At a guess I would say it is because when you attach a file it is converted to base64 or mime which is 7 bit. So for every 8 bits you only get 7 bits of data. Therefore an attachment uses much more space than the original file. I'd say so too.. Plus the added linebreak after every 72th (character), and i guess could be some extra bytes (checksums...) too.

valias: command processing ?
Hi.. after testing for several hours without success, i'd like to know, if anybody else is able to process commands with valiases. i added an alias with ./valias -i |/home/httpd/test.php [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it shows up correctly in the valias mysql table. when i send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] the qmail current log says delivery 6202: success: open_update/run_command/vdelivermail:_valiases_processed/did_0+0+1/ but it has not run that command. if i use the same line in a .qmail-test it works. and it's not depending on /home/httpd/test.php as it's not running any other commands too (i tried qmail-autorespond which really should work.) any ideas ? regards Justin

that the return(0); line is there to prevent any damage ?

Re: convert to clear passwords ?
Hello. I am checking out the clear passwords function on vpopmail with mysql and I was wandering if there is a way to convert an existing domain to clear passwords - I guess, what I am actually asking, is there a way to get the original password from the crypt currently stored instead? no. why would anybody then store crypted passwords ?? if they could be deciphered that easily ? use john for crac.. ehh.. deciphering.. and some really huge cluster thing..

vconvert : updating from 4.9.5 with cdb to 4.10.3 with mysql
hi.. i have a weird problem: whilst moving from 4.9.5 to 4.10.3 i also switched to mysql auth. well, after executing vconvert -c -s, it seemed as if it did fine, except for the passwords: the first 2 chars of the password in the sql table of every domain i convert are the same. ghandi domain.com 0CT1cQAicfFEw postmaster domain.com 0CJ3V6wm1riYA torxdomain.com 0CJ..MZu/97jg when i run vconvert -c -s again, all passwords in the sql table look different, but the first 2 chars are still the same. ghandi domain.com kJ7pEAwPlrYRw postmaster domain.com kJUzEwqVyWuww torxdomain.com kJ6ziHqRlaK3U of course pop3 authentication failes. however, if i run vpasswd and set a new password, everything is just fine.. authentication works. any ideas ? regards, Justin
Re[2]: vconvert : updating from 4.9.5 with cdb to 4.10.3 with mysql
Hmm... i found the problem: apparently vconvert takes the already encrypted password out of the ~vpopmail/domains/domain.com/vpasswd file and encrypts it again, when it stores that password into the sql table. i can log into a pop3 account when i enter the encrypted des hash of the original password. this doesn't make sense at all. vauth_adduser_size () always encrypts the pass line 210: mkpasswd3(pass,Crypted, 100); so i'd say a vauth_adduser_size_noencrypt () function would make sense, which then could be used by vconvert regards, Justin
