Re: vpopmail-4-9.10 and mysql-2.23.22
It seems like your vpopmail programs could not connect to your mysql server. Did you read README.mysql? You have to put the connection parameters into vmysql.h BEFORE compiling vpopmail.

CatchAll+Vacation+QuotaWarn
Hi All Just to give a quick update on subject modifications. First two worked (thanks Bill Shupp), the 3rd didn't (Sorry Agus Basyari that I couldn't get it to work). Details: I am running vpopmail 4.9.10 + qmailadmin 0.45 + sqwebmail 2.1.1 on a GNU/Linux box. Quota Warn: I followed Agus Basyari's instructions; ie exchange his vpopmail.c with the original. Placed modified versions of "quotawarn1" and quotawarn2" inside ~vpopmail/bin directory. Configured, make, make install-strip. CatchAll+Vacation: Applied the supplied patch to a clean qmailadmin-0.45 source. Configured, make clean, make, make install-strip. Observed: Whenever a mail was attempted to be delivered to a domain, mail log came up with "Aack, child crashed" type of messages; e.g. --- Jun 30 01:11:48 pop qmail: 993841908.653196 info msg 440984: bytes 737 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 23478 uid 502 Jun 30 01:11:48 pop qmail: 993841908.755477 starting delivery 42: msg 440984 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jun 30 01:11:48 pop qmail: 993841908.755526 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 Jun 30 01:11:48 pop qmail: 993841908.774558 delivery 42: deferral: Aack,_child_crashed._(#4.3.0)/ Jun 30 01:11:48 pop qmail: 993841908.774632 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 - Although it appeared that the messages were getting delivered, there would inevitably be a "Aack, child crashed" message with any mail delivery, plus I got repeated messages while trying out a vacation autoresponder. Needless to say, panic and heart palpitations set in after about 3 minutes, and suspecting the delivery agent, I quickly left out the whole QuotaWarn part and recompiled vpopmail and qmailadmin without it. Everything seems OK after that, with normal mail logs. Phew, ...never again on a production server... Analysis; QuotaWarn code: I don't know why the qmail child program kept crashing. The only changes I did was modify the quotawarn messages by deleting the first two lines (system messages), and add a couple of lines of text to it. Agus, anything? Faruque
Re: vconvert
I use Webmin my self. Very useful. However, how would you put, for example, users and their passwords from inside a large "shadow-file-type" file into a domain handled by vpopmail+mysql? Vconvert would not only assimilate the users and encrypted passwords, but would also make their individual directories and Maildir for the domain of your choice. There is also a need to, vice-versa, backup this information from MySQL database tables into some sort of "shadow-file-type" file for recovery purposes, if needed. (BTW, I searched for "RTFM" at mysql.com. Didn't find anything on it.)

Re: vconvert
Theres two things I could reccommend for using mysql The first (and simplistic) is PHPmyAdmin which is a php based MySQL administration tool. The second is WebMin. I like webmin personally. It gives you total protected access to all your system stuff (system, crons, servers, etc) including mysql, and in the mysql section you canpoint and click your way to a back up. But theres always the better way of RTFM at mysql.com and learn how to do it.

vconvert
With the current version of vconvert "disabled," does anyone have a suggestion on how to import my current domains into mysql? I'm not currently using the replication feature which is -as I understand it- the reason vconvert is disabled right now. It doesn't currently support the replication freature that the rest of vpopmail does. I tried using an older version of vconvert, I believe it was 4.10.18. It loaded the domain info, but it seemed that the path to the domains dir was not imported correctly. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris Bunnell
