[vchkpw] vmoduser in 5.4.30 set wrong permission on maildirsize file
Hi, I'm testing the latest stable release of vpopmail. vusaged is disable. I have found this issue, when I change the quota via vmoduser the owner of maildirsize file becomes root:root instead of vpopmail:vchkpw mail01:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain cbstest.com password mail01:~# ls -la /home/vpopmail/domains/cbstest.com/postmaster/Maildir/ totale 24 drwx-- 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 17:59 . drwx-- 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 17:59 .. drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 17:59 cur -rw--- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 15 3 mar 17:59 maildirsize drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 17:59 new drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 17:59 tmp mail01:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/vadduser ales...@cbstest.com password mail01:~# ls -la /home/vpopmail/domains/cbstest.com/alessio/Maildir/ totale 24 drwx-- 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 . drwx-- 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 .. drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 cur -rw--- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 15 3 mar 18:00 maildirsize drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 new drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 tmp mail01:~# /home/vpopmail/bin/vmoduser -q 50M cbstest.com mail01:~# ls -la /home/vpopmail/domains/cbstest.com/alessio/Maildir/ totale 52 drwx-- 8 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 . drwx-- 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 .. drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 cur drwx-- 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 .Drafts -rw--- 1 root root 14 3 mar 18:00 maildirsize drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 new drwx-- 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 .Spam -rw--- 1 vpopmail vchkpw 18 3 mar 18:00 subscriptions drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 tmp drwx-- 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 .Trash mail01:~# ls -la /home/vpopmail/domains/cbstest.com/postmaster/Maildir/ totale 24 drwx-- 5 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 . drwx-- 3 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 17:59 .. drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 17:59 cur -rw--- 1 root root 14 3 mar 18:00 maildirsize drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 17:59 new drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 4096 3 mar 18:00 tmp In this situation my IMAP server (dovecot) is unable to know my quote and more if I try to remove a messagges returns an error.

Re: [vchkpw] vmoduser segmentation fault possible vpasswd file corrupt?
Hi I just wanted to follow up (seems like very few people who figure out an issue themselves do): If anyone else gets this error. Check you vpasswd file for extra \n's and the end of the file. I'd think that this would be more a common problem for everyone. Seems only to have issues with domains with somewhat large amounts of users (499 in this particular domain's case). After I deleted the trailing newlines the standard vpopmail commandline, qmailadmin vqadmin tools act more sanely. Good luck and keep up the good work! Jeff Jeffrey D. Gordon wrote: I apologize in advance as a Google search didn't bring anything up that was helpful. I'm having issues with one domain for modifications to the vpasswd file and qmailadmin file.

Re: [vchkpw] vmoduser error
On Tuesday 01 February 2005 7:32 pm, Michael Bowe wrote: - Original Message - From: Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] I've been thinking about modifying vpopmail to use directory names like @a, @b, @c, etc. instead of a, b, c so that we could allow one-character user directories in all cases. I don't know how we'd make that work with existing directory structures though. Another solution would be to hash all usernames, so there weren't any users in the top directory. I guess we'd still run some risks of qmailadmin creating a mailing list or autoresponder with the same directory name and then later deleting it. I have often wished the directory hashing worked in a more simple/logical fashion We choose what looked to be the most efficent method of storing the directories and attempted to automate as much as possible. Is the complexity of the current system really required? I think so. So did all the developers who worked on the code. Our testing showed that it was required. It is so complex that none of the developers even appear to understand how it works! I do. The documentation states that vpopmail uses a self balancing tree that is able to support up to 23 million domains, each with up to 23 million users. However I am a bit doubtful about the self balancing part. For example if you add some domains and then go back and delete them later, further new domains dont get added to these now-vacant parts of the tree You are right. The algorythm does not prior deleted entries and reuse them. Since we have 23 million directory slots to use, we decided not to bother with looking for empty directory slots. Just create a new one. On other (non-vpopmail) virtual mail systems that I have used, the hashing system is typically much more simple - with the sysadmin choosing how many levels of hashing were required, and then just hashing the dirs using the leading portions of the username/domain eg userhash level of 1 means all user dirs would be hashed like this exampledomain.com\ a/then all the usernames starting with a b/then all the usernames starting with b c/then all the usernames starting with c etc a userhash level of 2 means that user dirs would be hashed like this exampledomain.com/ a/aa/then all the usernames starting with aa a/ab/then all the usernames starting with ab a/ac/then all the usernames starting with ac etc same sort of system could be used for a domainhash There is no disputing that this system would end up having some dirs with more entries than others, but even on a system with many user accounts, probably two or at the most three level of hashing would prevent any single dir from becoming excessively large. The current vpopmail system doesn't seem to balance the dirs evenly anyway, so it is not like we would be loosing any functionality there. Having a logical directory layout like this also simplifies other issues. Eg recovering from a corruption in the file/db that stores the hashing info, or moving domains/accounts between servers. Your proposed algorythm is the problem we were trying to solve. One large vpopmail site had broken up their directories like you suggested. But they were having heavy disk I/O which they finally tracked down to the OS walking through the directory structure. So we came up with current system. They both were benchmarked against each other. The winner was to not use more than 300 sub directories in any one directory. Hope that helps explain why it was built this way.

It's choking on a one-letter username. If vpopmail is compiled with --enable-users-big-dir, it will store the user directories in subdirectories after the first 100 users. Having a one-letter username would conflict with that hashing (one of the first 100 user directories could later turn into a hash directory which would be deleted if the user was deleted). I've been thinking about modifying vpopmail to use directory names like @a, @b, @c, etc. instead of a, b, c so that we could allow one-character user directories in all cases. I don't know how we'd make that work with existing directory structures though. Another solution would be to hash all usernames, so there weren't any users in the top directory. I guess we'd still run some risks of qmailadmin creating a mailing list or autoresponder with the same directory name and then later deleting it. If, in your account migration, you set up a different type of directory structure where one-letter usernames won't be a problem, then you can search the source for #ifdef USERS_BIG_DIR sections and remove the ifdefs that limit one-letter usernames (for your vmoduserproblem, it's in vcheck-vqpw() in vpopmail.c). -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

I have often wished the directory hashing worked in a more simple/logical fashion Is the complexity of the current system really required? It is so complex that none of the developers even appear to understand how it works! The documentation states that vpopmail uses a self balancing tree that is able to support up to 23 million domains, each with up to 23 million users. However I am a bit doubtful about the self balancing part. For example if you add some domains and then go back and delete them later, further new domains dont get added to these now-vacant parts of the tree On other (non-vpopmail) virtual mail systems that I have used, the hashing system is typically much more simple - with the sysadmin choosing how many levels of hashing were required, and then just hashing the dirs using the leading portions of the username/domain eg userhash level of 1 means all user dirs would be hashed like this exampledomain.com\ a/then all the usernames starting with a b/then all the usernames starting with b c/then all the usernames starting with c etc a userhash level of 2 means that user dirs would be hashed like this exampledomain.com/ a/aa/then all the usernames starting with aa a/ab/then all the usernames starting with ab a/ac/then all the usernames starting with ac etc same sort of system could be used for a domainhash There is no disputing that this system would end up having some dirs with more entries than others, but even on a system with many user accounts, probably two or at the most three level of hashing would prevent any single dir from becoming excessively large.

[vchkpw] vmoduser
Hello list, I was playing around with vmoduser today and couldn't figure out some of its flags' usage. Could someone tell me what NO_DIALUP (-u), NO_RELAY (-r) and V_USER[0-3] (-(0-3)) do? If there's any documentation available somewhere, please let me know. :) When I set some flags on a domain with vmoddomlimits, as per vmoduser parameter list says: vmoduser: usage: [options] email_addr or domain (for the entire domain) ... -x ( clear all flags ) I wanted to clear all flags for that entire domain with vmoduser -x domain, however the flags remain untouched. The only way I could remove the flags is by using vmoddomlimits (for example -D) as well. Perhaps it should be documented somewhere that: to set/reset/clear flags, we need to use the same tool. Otherwise it wouldn't work. Unless these flags are merged for both vmoduser and vmoddomlimits so they can be complementary to each other. Redundant though. IMO, vmoduser should follow what vmoddomlimits does when dealing with entire domain. If you set flags for entire domain by using vmoduser, vuserinfo will NOT show: smtp access is closed (*) * = set by domain-wide limits which I believe to be the proper behaviour for entire domain's flags.

The NO_DIALUP flag and V_USER[0-3] flags aren't used anywhere in vpopmail -- they're there for other code that uses the vpopmail user database.

That's a good point. vmoduser always modifies the user's flags, so it should say something like for all current users in domain instead. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

[vchkpw] vmoduser does not create maildirsize
Hi, I reinstalled vpopmail 5.2.1 with quota-support. The Mailserver is running for at least 1 Year now without quota, but for one single domain I have to enable quota. I tried to change the quota for one single user: /home/vpopmail/bin/vmoduser -q 1S [EMAIL PROTECTED] then the line in /home/vpopmail/domains/bla.com/vpasswd is changed from NOQUOTA to 1S But the necessary file in /home/vpopmail/domains/bla.com/alexander.bruns/Maildir/maildirsize is not generated? Is this the default behaviour of vmoduser and vsetuserquota? Do I habe to do a manuel maildirmake -q 1S /home/vpopmail/domains/bla.com/alexander.bruns/Maildir/ ? for each user I want to add quota support to? Greetings Alex
