[qmailadmin] can't create forward
Hello, I have Qmail Admin 1.2.0 on Solaris with NetQmail 1.05 and Vpopmail 5.40. I create a forward in Qmail Admin but it does not create the .qmail-user file in the domains/domain directory. I also checked to see if it creates a .qmail file in the domains/domain/user directory, but it doesn't. I don't see any error messages. It acts like it created the forward file successfully. Is this a bug? Patrick Liechty

Last night I installed Qmail Admin 1.06 and I was able to create forwards. There must be a bug in 1.2.0. I even tried the developer version 1.2.1 and it didn't work either. I saw that dotqmail.c had not really changed between versions. It looks like the problem is in alias.c. I am going to track down the problem and fix it myself, but if anyone else has this problem and has already fixed it, I would love to just get a patch. Patrick

I am going to track down the problem and fix it myself, but if anyone else has this problem and has already fixed it, I would love to just get a patch. 1.2.1 introduced support for aliases stored in MySQL (valias). If you're running vpopmail 5.4.0 or later with --enable-valias, then make sure you install QmailAdmin 1.2.1. As long as QmailAdmin 1.2.1 is installed with the correct permissions (it needs to have access to ~vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql) then it should work. You can test this by TEMPORARILY making vpopmail.mysql world readable (and make sure the directories above it are world readable as well). If that solves the problem, then look to how qmailadmin was installed (suid isn't working as it should). Be sure to set the permissions of vpopmail.mysql back when you're done. It's a huge security hole to have that file world-readable. -- 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 think 1.2.0 should work since 1.0.6 does (as far as suid goes). What suid settings should I look for to make sure they are correct? Patrick

What suid settings should I look for to make sure they are correct? I had assumed the problems were MySQL related... If you're using CDB backend, then it should be working fine. QmailAdmin has enough privileges to access the vpasswd file to authenticate users, so it should also have enough access to create the .qmail-alias file. If you could test some of the other releases (like 1.0.28) on qmailadmin.sf.net, it might help narrow down where the problem was introduced. -- 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/
