Re: ????Security Warning : Group Unowned files found :
So I guess the question is why is qmail depositing e-mails without the groupid???

Problem with web to local mail delivery
Hi again, Sorry for e-mailing this one more time, but I feel like this got lost between the other more interesting topics. I hope there is somebody who could take a look at this and help me out. I can not imagine that this is such a unusual case. I am trying settings here and there, changing this and that, but I can not figure this out. I would rather know the only setting I need to set or remove. Thanks. Peter I have 2 linux servers web and e-mail. Both servers are on the same network in the same domain. Users on the Web server fill out a HTML form and this form using CGI is being send (using postfix) out to the e-mail server (qmail) with one virtual domain - popboxes. It all seems to work just fine as long as the user is from other place than the local domain name. I feel that something is not setup correct with local to local mail. Logs do not show anything special as far as I can tell. It all seems to be heading the right direction, but they never arrive at the destination at the qmail server. (if someone would tell me in which log and what to look for??? TX) All other mail is getting to the e-mail server no problem. All the forms filled out by locations other than the subnet arrive on the e-mail server. As you can see I have a hard time sending test e-mails since I never receive them, yet it works from other domains??? Any ideas??? Please comment on any setting or suggest settings that are missing. I would really appreciated. Thank you for all your help.

Re: anybody out there at this time ??? confused about checkpassword and pop3
Oh, this does make sense. That was my fear from the beginning. The only question is the order of installation. Does it matter that I already have the checkpassword-0.81 installed?? I downloaded also cdb-5.5 since the checkcdb README was refering to it or should I use version cdb-7.5.??? I am adding also the line from inetd.conf file for verification. pop3stream tcp nowait root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup test.com /bin/checkpassword /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir Thanks Peter At 10:01 AM 12/17/00 -0500, Chris Johnson wrote: >On Sun, Dec 17, 2000 at 01:27:26AM -0500, Peter Drahos wrote: > > I hope there is somebody out there so late on Saturday evening.

RE: anybody out there at this time ??? confused about checkpasswo rd and pop3
Thank you Charles, I did tested adding of the domain name to the user name with the same result [root@test test]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user [EMAIL PROTECTED] +OK pass test -ERR authorization failed Connection closed by foreign host. I am also adding two config lines for this user just in case I did something wrong. =test-com-test:popuser:888:888:/var/qmail/popboxes/test-com/test::: test:teH0wLIpW0gyQ:popuser:/var/qmail/popboxes/test-com/test I will have to try the reverse lookup after few hours of sleep. It is getting rather very early for Sunday on the East Coast US. At 06:18 PM 12/17/00 +1000, Charles Warwick wrote: Trying logging in with username '[EMAIL PROTECTED] 'instead of just 'test'. The same will fix the problem for user 'x' (i.e. change it to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'). Otherwise it will be looking for 'global' system accounts, not specific to a domain. The other way to set this up, is to have the IP address that you are logging in to (on port 25) reverse lookup to the domain 'test.com'. See the Q-Mail documentation for more information on that.

anybody out there at this time ??? confused about checkpassword and pop3
Hi, I hope there is somebody out there so late on Saturday evening. I just want to warn you that this is my first Qmail installation and I am quite new to the Linux world. I was able to install checkpassword -0.81 and when I am testing it, I get these results. [root@test users]# telnet localhost 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain. Escape character is '^]'. +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user test +OK pass test -ERR authorization failed Connection closed by foreign host. [root@test users]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup test.com /bin/checkpassword pwd +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user test +OK pass test -ERR authorization failed * user test is a pop user in the assign file and has an encrypted password test in the poppasswd file, has a dir in popboxes/test-com/test/Maildir/ where he is successfully receiving his mail. * [root@test users]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup test.com /bin/checkpassword pwd +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> user x +OK pass password /home/x * on the other hand user x is a systems account and also has an entry in the assign file and poppasswd file. user x is also receiving mail in the popboxes/test-com/x/Maildir, but the pop logon brings him to home/x directory where I also created (Maildir -just to troubleshoot - I know it does not suppose to be there) but the pop login gets me there, while the other users fails to make a pop login due to the password problem. So both users have a little bit different problems, but the bottom line is that I can not retrieve the e-mails. I hope somebody can tell me what variable or I messed up. I believe I am pretty close. Thank you for your assistance Peter
