Re: R: R: leave a copy of messages on server
I think you may do it, but you must modify your pop3 server. It should memorize the downloaded messages numbers and then execute the opportune dele # at the end of session (or immediately after RETR command, when a new command is given and it may be sure that previous RETR has completed). Or... If I'm not wrong, all read messages are moved to ../Maildir/cur, so you could delete all messages in those ../Maildir/cur directories.

It's not advisable to make the delete mandatory because: 1) user may want to look his/her messages from a location, and to download them from another one, 2) the data transfer may fail for some reason (and you force deletion of a message unread by user) Good work --- Cordiali saluti / Best regards Andrea Cerrito ^^ Net.Admin @ Centro MultiMediale di Terni S.p.A.

Re: reason for problem found: connection reset after 1 minute
Just my 5 ITL contribute. Reading README file of checkpasswordnt (from tar downloaded from qmail site), I see: MSNT Auth v1.1 Squid web proxy Authentication module Antonino Iannella, Stellar-X Pty Ltd Mon Apr 10 22:47:33 CST 2000 _ This is a simple authentication module for the Squid proxy server to authenticate users on an NT domain. It originates from the Samba and SMB packages by Andrew Tridgell and Richard Sharpe. This version is sourced from the Pike authentication module by William Welliver ([EMAIL PROTECTED]). Usage is simple. It accepts a username and password on standard input and will return OK if the username/password is valid for the domain, or ERR if there was some problem. What I read in www.qmail.org about checkpassword is different: qmail-popup and qmail-pop3d are glued together by a program called checkpassword. It's run by qmail-popup, reads the username and password handed to the POP3 daemon, looks them up in /etc/passwd, verifies them, switches to the username/home directory, and runs pop3d. At least that's what the standard one does. Some alternatives are listed below. If what I read it true, checkpasswordnt is not good for qmail-pop3d. Tonino At 11/05/2001 11/05/2001 +0200, you wrote: Hi there, I've posted some messages concerning this strange pop3 connection reset after 1 minute. I just discovered the reason for the problem, but I still don't have a solution. I'm using checkpasswordnt for my authentication issues (so that all users can be authenticated with our NT PDC). I just changed this back to the normal checkpassword program and tried again with an appropriate account. Now it works. No connection reset, nothing. So checkpasswordnt seems to make problems. But, as I understand, checkpassword is only used to authenticate the connection in the first place. After that it's not accessed again? There seems to be some kind of timeout after one minute, but where? This is the ps aux output while running a pop3 session: root 6176 0.0 0.2 1224 344 pts/0S11:43 0:00 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup wetzel-office.com /bin/checkpasswordnt /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir jhassler 6177 0.0 0.3 1236 396 pts/0S11:43 0:00 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir One thing to mention: I certainly don't like this NT authentication stuff, but in this environment its needed at the moment (can't change it). Sorry for not mentioning checkpasswordnt in the first place, but I thought this would be the last place the problem could occur. I tried several things. tcpdump output is not very helpful. After the initial authentication packets there is a NBT Session Keepalive packet after 20 seconds. After this packet there is no other traffic to or from the NT server. I thought there would be something after exactly 60 seconds, but there is nothing. I'm also confused about this Keepalive packet, because the session should end after the first authentication transfers, shouldn't it? Strange, again: I use this Mrs. Brisby version of qmail-smtpd together with checkpasswordnt to implement SMTP AUTH. This works without any problems. The same packets are travelling through the cable, there is also this Keepalive packet, but the connection is not reset after 60 seconds. So there seems to be something about checkpasswordnt qmail-pop3d or qmail-popup don't like. Maybe an Anti-M$-check :-) If anyone on this list is also using checkpasswordnt and doesn't have this problem then the NT server is the evil box. That's nothing new, indeed, but this would be off-topic for this list. I'll further try finding a solution, maybe someone of you has a clue where the problem might be. Some day... I'll throw these NT things out. Certainly. Thanks again for your help, I really appreciate it. Jens
Re: qmail-inject and Perl
Hi Kevin, I use this simple PERL code that (for me) works nicely. $from, $to, $reply, $subject, $body are the variables you have to feed.

Re: pop3 connection reset after exactly 1 minute
Do you have any antivirus software running over your Outlook express and using 127.0.0.1 as local pop to filter messages? If yes, try to disable it and try again. Tonino At 09/05/2001 09/05/2001 +0200, you wrote: Hi there, we're experiencing VERY strange problems with our QMail installation. I've set up QMail as stated in the Life with QMail document and everything works fine. The POP3 server is started over inetd, because its a very low traffic server: pop3stream tcp nowait root/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup my-server.com /bin/checkpasswordnt /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir When clients connect they can retrieve all eMails. But if one of them is larger and the connection lasts longer than 60 seconds, QMail seems to suddenly reset the connection! This is a reproducable behaviour. Outlook Express gives me following error message: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity. - it's the same with different internet providers - it's the same thing when using Outlook Express and Netscape Messenger as mail clients - the problem is the same when using tcpserver - the problem is not the type or the size of the mail, only connection time - these mail clients retrieve big mails from other (public) mail servers without any problems!

Re: Patch on qmail-smtpd / vpopmail for rejecting unknown users
sorry, but I cannot appreciate the difference...
For me isn't nothing more than a comment (I thought iw was tha last
modified version of qmail-smtpd, but I was wrong probably). May you please
explain me the difference?

Re: Patch on qmail-smtpd / vpopmail for rejecting unknown users
Well, not be sorry, I'm learning...
I have to modify the patch for other reason also (new qpasswd struct,
checking of bounce mail flag), so I'll change this error to 550 too.
I would like also to use this patch to reject senders using some
recipient's filter files.
Is there any suggestion about a filtering scheme? Is there a standard already?
