Courier vpopmail
Hi Gurus! Recently I installed a combination of Courier IMAP/POP, Sqwebmail and vpopmail on a Debian Woody server. I downloaded inofficial vpopmail packages for woody. I also built the several Courier and Courier-SSL packages from source after having changed the rules file to include --with-authvchkpw. Everything seemed to work fine. Unfortunately after having gone productive severe problems with POP3/IMAP authentification occured. Sometimes the login procedure worked, but very often it did not. At that time the authentification used courier-authdaemon. I learnt from a posting on the vpopmail mailing list that Courier's authdaemon is not very stable and that authentification problems get solved when compiling Courier using --without-authdaemon. I tried that - but it initiated several new problems. Courier's build configuration script told me that --without-authdaemon needs --without-ldap. So I tried that. Unfortunately everything got worse. My impression is that the Courier Debian package is not prepared for being built without LDAP or authdaemon. There are several dependencies between the several components of the Courier packages. I still try to figure them out. My question is: Did anyone install Courier IMAP/POP, Sqwebmail and vpopmail on a Woody box? If yes: Do you use courier-authdaemon and if so, is vpopmail authentification working well? If you do not use courier-authdaemon, how did you get built Courier Debian packages without? Any help is highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Controlling IP traffic (e.g. per month)
Hi Gurus! I am doing the administration for a server located at an ISP. We have a certain amount of traffic per month included in the monthly fee. Additional traffic will be paid extra. Now I want to get more control over the traffic that was already used since the beginning of each month. My ideal configuration would be to get an email when e.g. 80% of the traffic included in the monthly fee got used already. When a new month begins the counter has to be set to zero again. Is there an easy way to implement this? Any help is highly appreciated.

Re: Looking for qmail, vpopmail, webmail solution
Hi Theodor et al.! First of all: Thanks for all the mails and hints! I am trying to set up a mail toaster on a Debian Woody system. Here are the requirements: - qmail - pop3 - pop3 authentification _not_ against /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow - virtual pop3 users - webmail access Just what I use down here on the farm ;-) qmail is installed and works fine. I tried to implement vpopmail and sqwebmail, but I was not able to get it to work. The sqwebmail debian package does not come with vpopmail authentification included. My attempts to build it from the source package with modified rules file all failed. It (recompilation) works for me with just trivial changes to ./configure line in debian/rules. What kind of problem do you have? I built vpopmail and sqwebmail successfully now. I did not use the Debian source packages any longer but the more current versions from www.inter7.com - as some of you suggested. And now the combination of qmail, vpopmail and sqwebmail works. Once again: Thanks to everyone who contributed.
