[sqwebmail] Enable Debug Logging
Hello, Does anyone know how to enable debug logging to syslog in sqwebmail? I'm using sqwebmail 4.0.3. What I did so far was to set auth_debug_login_level to 2 in authlib/debug.c and DEBUG_LOGIN to 2 in apache's httpd.conf. But I don't get any debug info in my logs. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Trevor
[sqwebmail] Quota Field
Can anyone tell me how the quota field is used in sqwebmail? I configured quotas with maildrop's maildirmake and deliver mail using deliverquota, and sqwebmail prints the You are using % of your quota message when I login, even though I don't have a quota field defined in authpgsqlrc. So, what exactly is the quota field in authpgsqlrc used for? Thanks, Trevor
[sqwebmail] Escaping Punctuation
Hello, I have a problem where authentication is failing for passwords that contain special punctuation characters such as backslash and double-quote. The same passwords are handled correctly by courier-imap which is configured to use the same authdaemon as sqwebmail, but sqwebmail will return an authentication error on these passwords. I'm using sqwebmail 3.6.0 with authpgsql. Regards, Trevor Astrope [EMAIL PROTECTED]

For example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] , when opens mail.abc.com/cgi-bin/sqwebmail or abc.con/cgi-bin/sqwebmail, he should only supply his username user1 not complete [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is how I did it. Using the logindomainlist was not an option for me, since I have 5000 virtual domains already configured with unique usernames, so having them all listed in logindomainlist was not practical and seems like a spammer's honeypot to me. Also, I needed pop to use the same authentication method, so it wasn't practical to force 5000 users to change their email configurations to include the domain in their pop configurations. What I did was to use an sql database, in my case postgresql, since we already use postgresql extensively and have a dedicated postgresql server. In order to accomplish this, I had to use a custom query. The id field contains the unique username, but the query returns a field I called 'email' which contains the [EMAIL PROTECTED] form of the email address. Using unique usernames in the id field should be enough, but the problem is if the id field only contains a username and no @domain, sqwebmail will append the server's hostname or the value of /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/hostname to the username to form the email address. I had to also define the DEFAULT_DOMAIN in authpgsqlrc, because the custom query requires that a domain name be sent to sqwebmail or it won't attempt the query. So, I just used example.com, but I never use the $(domain) variable. It is just there to make sqwebmail happy. Here is an example query...Mine does some joins with some existing customer tables, but this is enough to get it working: PGSQL_SELECT_CLAUSE SELECT email, crypt, '', uid, gid, \ home, maildir, '', name \ FROM passwd \ WHERE id = '$(local_part)' Just adjust it to your own configuration. I also compiled courier-imap with --with-authdaemonvar=/usr/local/share/sqwebmail/var/authdaemon so pop3d and sqwebmail share the same authdaemon. Now, if pop3d could use the same sqwebmail cache as well, that would be fantastic, but this doesn't seem possible, as courier-imap doesn't use a cache. One other thing I do is send a hangup signal to the authdaemon every hour to prevent the persistent db connections from timing out, as we use a stateful firewall between the webmail server and our database server. I added this line to the /etc/cron.hourly/sqwebmail-cron-cleancache script: kill -HUP `cat /usr/local/share/sqwebmail/var/authdaemon/pid` It's not pretty, but it works. I hope this helps someone else. Trevor
[sqwebmail] Database Connection Timeouts
Hello, Our database machine is behind a stateful firewall and I've been noticing that the sqwebmail db connections are being timed out by the firewall. Is it possible for sqwebmail to use a keepalive or ping mechanism to keep the connection alive? Or could sqwebmail be configured to establish a new db connection after a defined timeout (hardtimeout)? Thanks, Trevor
[sqwebmail] Re: CustomQuery
Just to follow-up on my previous post, I did some experimenting and if you use a custom query and do not include an '@' in the userId, sqwebmail will not even send the query to the db! Does anyone know how to: 1. Force sqwebmail to submit a custom query to the db even if the username does not contain a '@'? 2. Use the complete username field as sent by the login screen, instead of just $(local_part) and $(domain)...Maybe $(local_part) would contain it if sqwebmail submitted the query? If this requires code changes to sqwebmail, we would be willing to pay for a patch. The above is using sqwebmail 3.6.0.

I know I can just use [EMAIL PROTECTED] in the id field, but I need it to be backward compatible with the existing system with courier-imap's pop3d, which also uses authpgsql, but the built-in query, since all userId's are unique and I don't need the domain returned. Now, what I'd like to do is have the pop3d use the authdaemon from sqwebmail to reduce the number of db hits. So my questions are: 1. Is it possible to make the authdaemon with courier-imap cache like the sqwebmail authdaemon? 2. Is there a variable besides $(local_part) and $(domain) that I can use with the custom query in sqwebmail, like $(id) that contains the whole userId field? This way, I could have pop3d use the sqwebmail authdaemon socket. I tried using $(local_part) in my custom query, but it doesn't seem to work if the username doesn't contain an '@' in it. Like I said, all the userId's are unique, so I'd like to be able to authenticate without having to specify the [EMAIL PROTECTED] in a custom query. Is this possible?

[sqwebmail] Custom Headers
This is more of a qmail question, but I was wondering how to go about adding custom headers in the sendit.sh script? I'm using qmail-inject. Thanks, Trevor
[sqwebmail] Re: Problem Sending Mail
I just wanted to follow-up on this... It seems the problem I described below only happens using lynx. I can live with this, but it was my understanding that the major functionality was available using lynx, but on further reading, it only says, most functionality is accessible from lynx. From the NEWS file: * Javascript and cookies are not required. Most of the functionality is accessible from Lynx. (There is some Javascript and cookie usage for value-added features, such as print preview). Maybe you can update this to say that there are problems sending mail using lynx? I'm using lynx 2.8.4 on red hat 7.3. Thanks, Trevor On Fri, 18 Jul 2003, Trevor Astrope wrote: Hello, I'm using sqwebmail 3.5.3 (authpgsql) with qmail 1.03.

If I login to the shell and go into the Maildir and delete the sqwebmail-token file, I can send one message from sqwebmail again, but subsequent messages silently fail as above. Normal qmail delivery to this account works fine and same with courier-imap pop3d with authpgsql. Any ideas? Thanks! P.S. Is there any way to enable sqwebmail logging or for it to display error messages?

Lynx does too much caching: if you go from, say, /cgi-bin?page=1 to /cgi-bin?page=2 and then back to /cgi-bin?page=1, then it (wrongly) displays the page you saw last time when accessing this URL, rather than fetching it again. Use 'lynx -resubmit_posts http://whatever/' Thanks! You're the man! I've just logged into sqwebmail with 'lynx -resubmit_posts', and sent two messages. It worked just fine; both messages were sent, and both were saved in the Sent folder. Yep, works perfectly. Thanks a lot. This was really driving me crazy. Thanks again, Trevor
