Re: Advertising + vpopmail
You could insert a program that parses emails, and looks up what attachments to add to them. Rename qmail-queue to something else, and name this program qmail-queue. Have it talk to the same file descriptors that qmail-queue does. Once the processing is done, just call the orignal qmail-queue to send it into the queue. I think there are some links off www.qmail.org that have exactly this type of thing. Perhaps they don't add the attachments, but they insert themselves into the whole qmail-queue pipe. In this way, every email that flows through the system will get an attachment. The program would have to check it has already added the header, cause some .qmail file processing re-injects the email back into the queue.

Re: Advertising + vpopmail
I think you could do this with the server that does the relaying, it could check which user and domain is sending the mail and add any necessary attachments. I have no clue how to do this, just a thought. But wouldn't really be a parts of vpop but more qmail and tcpserver. rick griffith > DearAll, > > Who have any idea about Advertising + vpopmail? > > Hotmail and Yahoo add some lines at the bottom of mail. > > How can I do like that? > > Thank. > >

This is generally the function of the mail client, not the local delivery agent (vpopmail). Offhand, I know that SqWebmail and IMP have this functionality. Regards, Bill Shupp

DearAll, Who have any idea about Advertising + vpopmail? Hotmail and Yahoo add some lines at the bottom of mail. How can I do like that? Thank.
RE: Dbfunctions
For what its worth, my 0.02 >From what I remember the dbfunctions patch is strictly for those people using vpopmail with a db backend, from my original quick scan several months ago I was able to determine that this would break my installation of vpopmail since I do not use a db, but instead another authentication format. Ken has to retrofit this to fit EVERYONE who is using vpopmail, not just those who fit your scenario Krzysztof, and though you have many people using your patches successfully I would assume that that is a very small portion of the installed userbase of vpopmail. I also remember Ken publicly asking for documentation on how it works when you publicly complained in the last version of vpopmail when it wasn't included. I would assume Ken never received what he felt was needed to fit this properly into vpopmail and therefore developed perhaps a "feature-crippeled version" of your patch in order to provide a product to support the entire userbase of vpopmail. -- Tim -Original Message- From: Krzysztof Dabrowski [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 5:32 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Dbfunctions Ken, I've read the latest changelog for vpopmail. i've noticed that you have implemented something that looks like feature-crippled version of my dbfunctions patch.

And I didn't really get back anything that I could use. Basicly just the code. I'm not going to get into a war with you over this. It's one thing to add features that you need to vpopmail. It's another thing entirely to backward fit those features into the other authentication modules, provide documentation and test it all. That's what I have to do as the package maintainer.

[PATCH] Vpopmail with procmail and non-delivering recipes
Hi -
I've been using a combination of qmail/vpopmail/procmail and John
Hardin's email security procmail recipes (see
http://www.impsec.org/email-tools/procmail-security.html) recently
with what seems to be good success.
However, vpopmail in its vanilla form gets in the way of the procmail
recipes due to the piping of procmail before the vdelivermail
executable in a domains .qmail-default like:
| preline procmail -m /path/to/rcfile |
/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox
(Note this should all be one line and requires your procmail recipe to
deliver to stdout by default - see
http://mailman.rwth-aachen.de/pipermail/procmail/2000-May/74.html)
The upshot of this is that if a procmail recipe quarantines an email
with a non-delivering recipe (or at least one that delivers a security
message to the domains postmaster and not one to the intended
recipient), procmail pipes an empty message to vpopmail (of no
length), but then vdelivermail tags the empty message with the
Delivered-To and Return-Path headers (taken from the qmail process
environment variables?) and delivers this to the users maildir.
The following patch to vdelivermail.c checks to see if the incoming
mail is of length>0 and only delivers if this is true, thus allowing
the procmail pipe. You may well be able to do this check earlier in
the code (before the delivery goes as far as the tmp/ directory) but I
couldnt get any other place to work reliably.
I'm not sure how useful this is for anyone else, but I haven't found
any other way of using John's recipes with vpopmail so I thought I'd
post it. I haven't lost any mail because of it but that doesn't mean
you wont! If anyone has a better way of doing this, email me because
I'd be interested how they did it.
Hope its of use,
Marcus

Re: Dbfunctions
Hello to all. I would like to join to this shout for attention by stating that I have been waiting for this patch to go into the main vpopmail release for several months now, because this patch allows vpopmail to become MTA independent - I have done some research for using vpopmail with postfix, with considerable success (not the crippled way it is described on inter7's website), but was waiting for these functions to go operational. I didn't check out the new release yet, but I believe to the author of the dbfunctions patch if he says that his patch includes more functionality then the 4.10.1 vpopmail, and especially important is the fact that this was extensively tested already. ---Original Message--- From: Krzysztof Dabrowski Date: Tuesday, May 08, 2001 12:30:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Dbfunctions Ken, I've read the latest changelog for vpopmail. i've noticed that you have implemented something that looks like feature-crippled version of my dbfunctions patch.
