RE: Confused about virtual users and pop3

Jacobs [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 14, 2001 11:54 PM To: qmail list Subject: Confused about virtual users and pop3 As I understand it, as virtual user is just a .qmail-foo mailbox under the main user account. However, my reading has suggested that users can't use qmail-pop3d to access their accounts, because checkpassword is only looking at the main account. Is this right? Basically, I'm trying to find a way to provide easy pop3 access to the end-user, with a web interface for adding or deleting users, and the ability to manipulate per-user quotas. At the moment, I'm creating each user as a system account, which allows me to set the quotas with whatever granularity I like. But most of the web admin interfaces seem to be focused on virtual users, so I'm not sure what my alternatives are for a web front-end. Any suggestions? -- Todd A. Jacobs CodeGnome Consulting, LTD

qmail-start dies after waking...

Hi! The pop3 server that works with qmail (Maildir format, more exactly) is qmail-pop3d that comes with qmail.

I have to change password user per user, with postmaster account. The major users were created with QMailAdmin and some with vadduser. Both users arises the exception. The strange is: the first users created get to change password into Web QMailAdmin...

You certainly *can* use inetd, but I don't recommend it for the
following reasons:
1) Documentation on installing with inetd is scarce.
2) The use of inetd is "unsupported".
3) Daemontools and ucspi-tcp work better than inetd and syslog.
4) If you install with inetd+syslog and decide to switch to
daemontools+ucspi-tcp, you pretty have to reinstall. Building
and
installing daemontools+ucspi-tcp is *very* easy.

RE: qmail, ucsi-tcp inetd

I'll do that then... should I mind for other applications/services that use inetd installed in my server before switching to ucsi-tcp or is it completely "transparent" to them?? As long as inetd is not configured to listen to the ports you want tcpserver to listen to, the two coexist peacefully. It helps to understand the basic difference in the way they work: inetd takes a configuration file (/etc/inetd.conf) which tells it a list of ports to listen to, and an associated program to run when traffic comes in. When inetd start up it binds to all those ports, and listens. tcpserver takes a command line argument which tells it what (single) port to listen to, and an associated program to run when traffic comes in. If you want to run multiple services, you need multiple running tcpserver processes. If inetd.conf tells it to listen to the smtp port, and then you run tcpserver to listen to smtp port, then tcpserver won't be able to run because the port already has a listener. Which leads back to my first paragraph ;. I have a system now that's not using inetd for anything. All it runs are qmail, identd, and dnscache under tcpserver, ssh and ftpd in standalone mode. -- gowen -- Greg Owen -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
