 That is the recommended platform at this time.

I'm trying to use CentOS 6 on all of my new servers. Upgrading major releases 
tends to be painful, so if I can start on CentOS 6 I will. I'm building a new 
QTP this week and was hoping to use CentOS 6. It's not that it's urgent, I'd 
just like to be able to run it there.


[qmailtoaster] NEWSENDER for a forward

2009-04-17 Thread Chris Hillman
I've created a forward on my server for a friend to receive email
notifications, and need the forwarded message to have a new sender
address.

 

I've seen lots of stuff on .qmail files, and setting the NEWSENDER env
variable to whatever you want it to be, but don't see a way to
accomplish this. There is no .qmail file for the forward, only an enty
in the valias table. 

 

Any ideas?

I've made some fixes to the QTP installer for Roundcube. I am not having

The fixes will be in the next release of QTP, but you're more than

and overwrite your current one in the meantime.
Thanks.

[qmailtoaster] CHKUSER patch and Facebook Email Notifications

2008-12-08 Thread Chris Hillman
Hey All,

 

I just wanted to post this to the list in case anyone else is seeing
this issue.  I was not receiving email notifications from facebook,
while other users on my server were.  I tracked it down to the CHKUSER
patch not accepting a ~ character in a sender address as valid.  Rather
than edit the source code and recompile, I just disabled the sender
address check system wide.

 

This is what I saw in the qmail smtp log...

 

@40004937181e39835da4 CHKUSER rejected sender: from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:: remote
mx-out.facebook.com:unknown:69.63.184.101 rcpt  : invalid sender
address format

@40004937195b333c43ac CHKUSER rejected sender: from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:: remote
mx-out.facebook.com:unknown:69.63.178.162 rcpt  : invalid sender
address format

@400049371d410d2b548c CHKUSER rejected sender: from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:: remote
mx-out.facebook.com:unknown:69.63.184.105 rcpt  : invalid sender
address format

 

I edited the tcp.smtp and added SENDER_NOCHECK=1 to disable the check.
I guess Blackberry servers also use odd characters fairly commonly.

 

Hope this helps someone else,

Rather than modify the script, just create a temp imap folder...

You have too many messages in one folder - you can either break the
messages up into 2 directories and learn them that way, or modify the
script to use another find command to pipe the output to the sa-learn

 Hi Jake,

Just doing some checks on your email's domain (solowtech.com, assuming 
that's the domain that cannot send to Yahoo).
Your DNS servers have different serial values, so you probably have 2 
different zone records, one on each server.
For your SPF records, you have this:

v=spf1 a -all


That says that the A record for your domain is the one that sends mail.

That's fine if example.com and mail.example.com resolve top the same IP,

but incorrect if they do not (someone correct me if I'm wrong on that - 
rusty on my SPF).

Your messages seem to be signed with domain keys, but I would also 
double check them against a server that tests domainkeys for you. Just 
do a search, there's several that will do this for you.  If each of your

DNS servers is serving different data, then you may have domainkeys on 
one zone record, but not on the other.  Yahoo may be checking the 
keyfile against the wrong DNS server (the one that may not have the
data).

Run the following as root on your mysql server:

create database vpopmail;
grant all on vpopmail.*
to 'vpopmail'@'localhost'
identified by 'yourpasswordhere';
flush privileges;

Then, from the FAQ:

Change the /home/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql file with your new
password, from your favorite editor.

Subject: [qmailtoaster] qtp-newmodel for fresh install

Hi. I have a new CentOS 5.2 installation. I have attempted to use qtp- 
newmodel to do a fresh install of qmail toaster. There was a recent  
thread on the list asking about this although it was never resolved  
whether it was possible or not. I have done it. The builds failed at  
numerous places due to missing dependencies, but once everything  
needed was installed qtp-newmodel appears to have built and installed  
qmail toaster successfully. Very cool. My one problem is that mysql  
was not configured for vpopmail (no vpopmail user; no vpopmail  
database) so I can't add any domains. If I try to do /home/vpopmail/ 
bin/vadddomain I get: Error - no authentication database connection.  
Initial open. (obviously, since MySQL doesn't have the user/database!)

Any suggestions on the best way to make the vpopmail user and database  
in mysql? I have another installation I could just copy by hand, but  
is there something I could just run that would make everything?

MySQL was not running when I installed via qtp-newmodel. Would qtp- 
newmodel have made the database and mysql user if MySQL had been  
running? If so, can I just uninstall qmailtoaster and install it again  
with qtp-newmodel (and MySQL running this time?) If so, what is the  
best way to do this? I can't find anything on the wiki about  
uninstalling.

Thanks.
