Read the documentation for your mail program. Qmail does not send
copies of replies unless your mail program asks it to.

Hi,
I'm looking for a replacement for checkpasswd which supports a second
passwd-file for pop3 accounts without linux-user and which supports
APOP.
Can you help me, please ?

Hi,
Bruce Guenter's Vmailmgr is simply great, look at the checkpasswd replacements
in qmail's page.
I've been running it for a year with no problem at all.
Cheers

Hi,
I was wondering if their was an available
extension or way to make qmail-pop3d send mail back to a mail sender after a
specific user has checked his mail.
I.o.w if leon send mail to john, that when john
comes and checks mail it mails leon with a message to confirm that john has
actually logged in to check his mail.
Thanks in advance for your responce

In the email, leon should write "John, write me when you get this."
What happens if leon's pop server is the same as john's?
leon could try fingering john's account.

This doesn't make any sense. POP and SMTP are two different protocols, and
they're used for two different purposes--POP for a client to collect mail from
a mail host, and SMTP to transfer mail between mail hosts or between a client
and a mail host. You can't use POP instead of SMTP, because POP doesn't perform
the same functions as SMTP.
You can't use your car's windshield wipers instead of the brakes; you use them
both.

I haven't contributed to the war on this list so far, but I feel I have to
say something: Alex, you've come in and really angered many of us. This
list was so serene and peaceful, until you jumped in. From your posts, you
sound like a little spoon-fed child. And it's exactly the method you're
using to teach newbies. Your words "Teaching is sacred... blah blah..." are
fine, but one never learns properly unless one is taught to question
oneself and the knowledge around them. Spoon-feeding only makes people
dull, and I feel that many of the intellectual people on this list would
prefer to lead a newbie to the answer than serve it on a plate. Please, I
beg of you: stop this war of words, make peace with the list members, close
your mouth, and listen for a while. You might actually like it here, and
learn something along the way.

Let me get this straight.
You want ezmlm to look at a message from you and tell you who you are?
Is there a reason you are unable to do this yourself? Is there a reason
you think ezmlm will do a better job than you can?

ULL seems to mean something different on my alpha (using the native
compiler) than on DJB's system. This isn't too surprising, since ULL
isn't mentioned in Harbison&Steele, and I'm guessing it's not in ANSI.
I guess it could be a compiler bug, too.
include <stdio.h>
main() {
unsigned long x;
x = 987654321UL;
printf ("UL: x=%d\n",x);
x = 987654321ULL;
printf ("ULL: x=%d\n",x);
}
yields...
UL: x=987654321
ULL: x=87654321

Your native compiler has a bug.

A warning or error would be desirable if ULL isn't part of the
implementation's grammar (instead of silently emitting broken code).
Or were you suggesting the reason it's broken was that it doesn't
grok "ULL" but should?
Not to put too fine a point on it, but DJB's code is also playing
it a bit fast and loose...
t->x = 4611686018427387914ULL + (uint64) time((long *) 0);
...is clearly intending to declare the constant as the same size
as a uint64, a very architecture-specific assumption.

No, the reason its broken is because when casting an ULL to UL, the
compiler appears to simply lop off the topmost digits until the number
fits into an UL, instead of taking the remainder of the ULL divided by
2^(sizeof(UL)*8).
This should happen automatically even if compiler does not support ULL,
however, in that case, it should really refuse to compile it in the first
place.

That's not the problem. On an alpha, a "long long" and a "long" are
both 8 bytes, no casting required. Besides, even on a sizeof(long) = 8
machine, 987654321 would still fit inside a long.

Yup.
Or the author could have taken avoided using non-standard C in the first
place.

Oops, I meant 4, like on an x86.

The command issued was:-
# fetchmail -f /etc/system.fetchmailrc
# cat /etc/system.fetchmailrc
poll mailhost.brunel.ac.uk protocol pop3 username cspgccm password "secret"
The response I get is as follows:-
91 messages (90 seen) for cspgccm at mailhost.brunel.ac.uk (1119833 bytes).
skipping message 1 not flushed
skipping message 2 not flushed
...
skipping message 89 not flushed
skipping message 90 not flushed
reading message 91 of 91 (463 bytes) fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from mailhost.brunel.ac.uk
fetchmail: Query status=10
There was actually one new message in the mailbox (#91).
Would you be able to shed some light on what is happening, and how the
problem can be solved?
Many thanks,
Chitta
Hi
Pass! This is a little lower level than our normal queries. I have
forwarded the message on to our systems team for their input.

Hi,
I am configuring a new server using Red Hat Linux 5.2. And this time i
am configuring Shadow Password as well as Use Cistron RADIUS.
Is there any special things i shall do to install the Q-mail 1.3? (
for example different checkpassword.. etc)
TIA
