filter question
Hi, I am running vpopmail with qmail on RedHat 6.1. I have a 2 part question: 1] Is there a way for me to block all mail thar contain attachments with certain extentions, i.e. .exe, .mpg? 2] If there is a way, how do I do it? Can I block on a per user level and on a per domain level? Thank you Raymond
weird 4.10.35 installation problem.
Hi folks, Trying to upgrade from 4.9.10 to 4.10.35 on a production machine. Installation works like a charm.Everything works fine in a test environmenet with the same option's.The problem in production environment is iam not able to authenticate virtual domain users. The error i get is table 'vpopmail.vpopmail' does'nt exist.So its looking for vpopmail table and not domain_ext tables.

Re[2]: vaddaliasdomain() patches....
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hello Einar, I've started to push my C-programer in the direction of vpopmail, and he will be taking a look on this problem. With the above scenario, you already have a domains/aliasdomain in the virtualdomainsfile, since a real domain would have the same value on the right hand side of :, while a aliasdomain would have the realdomain there. Every time an alias domain is added, only virtualdomains and rcpthosts/morercpthosts would be affected. That might do the job as well, but it will require much deeper changes to vpopmail whereas I tryed to change as few lines of code as possible. I for myself don't care too much for the aliasdomains file... Anyway, fixed patch, which builds on Bill's RedHat box (the original one always did on mine, though) is attached.

Bill, I took a crack at your roaming users problem last night and I came
up with a solution that I'm happy with.
The basic problem is that the newer version of courierIMAP has seperated
the authentication process from the couriertcp process by using
authdaemond. So when vpopmail's open_smtp_relay function get's called it's
unable to retreive the remote user's IP address from the environment
variables. To fix this I've written a program that can be dropped in
between imaplogin and imapd. This program will only be called if the user
has been authenticated. It will call open_smtp_relay with the proper
environment variables set, then it will call whatever program is passed
into it's argv[1] parameter.
Run sh ./build to build open_relay, if the compile fails with complaints
about crypt add -lcrypt to your ~vpopmail/etc/lib_deps. Install open_relay
whereever you like, I put mine in /usr/local/bin. Modify imapd.rc, or use
the one I attached. The important line is this one:
$PORT ${exec_prefix}/sbin/imaplogin $LIBAUTHMODULES \
${exec_prefix}/bin/open_relay \ #This will setup open_relay for roaming users
${exec_prefix}/bin/imapd Maildir
Don't forget to put ~vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp into your cron!
Enjoy,
Chris

Chris,
Thanks for your efforts. This works for me. However, this workaround has a
few drawbacks that you may already be aware of:
1. If imap access is turned off (via vmoduser -i), then imap access is not
granted, but open_relay still tries to run and just leaves the open_smtp
file owned by root.root, making roaming break until permissions are changed
back.
2. If roaming is disabled for that user (via vmoduser -r), open_relay has no
way of knowing since it's separate from authvchkpw now. So they get to roam
anyway.
3. For people using multiple authentication modules (not me), anyone who is
authenticated will get roaming access.
Since we are now forced to use authdaemon (as far as I can tell, anyway),
seems like the best solution would be for imaplogin to pass the environment
to authdaemond. This would fix everything mentioned above, I think, and
perhaps similar issues for other authentication modules.
Thanks again, Chris!

Bill Shupp

This would fix everything mentioned above, I think, and perhaps similar issues for other authentication modules. 1. This is a problem with the vpopmail.c code, IMHO it doesn't recover from hiccups as well as it should. 2,3. The real problem here is that a side effect (SMTP relay authentication) is being piggy-backed onto authentication. authdaemond is soley concerned with checking the validity of username/passwd pairs against various sources. In this sense smtp_open_relay is a bit of a hack. And I've just whipped together a hack to fix a broken hack. I'm currently looking into patching/adding SMTP AUTH over TLS/SSL with an authdaemon backend into qmail-smtp. This would be a more pragmatic solution that could fall back on smtp_open_relay for roaming users who can't do SMTP AUTH over SSL. Of course falling back on smtp_open_relay entails the weaknesses that you've described above. For imaplogin to pass all of the environment information to authdaemond would break the abstraction, and force specialized code into both imaplogin and parts of authdaemond. Now that I think about the problem some more, it would be possible to fix problems 1-3 from open_relay.c, since imaplogin sets an environment variable with the user's username/email address. I'm pretty sure this could be used to check and see if the user should have roaming access. Chris

i got the solution. I had to install qmail-1.03-quotas-1.1.patch from http://www.qmail.org/qmail-1.03-quotas-1.1.patch . When i implemented system quotas in vpopmail it works when vdelivermail is delivering the mail. But when qmail-local is delivering the mail it was still doing temporary deferal. I believe qmail-local delivers mail when aliases and forwards are used. please let me know if i am wrong about this. After installing the above patch everything seems to be working ok.

OT: idle timeouts for dial-in users
Hello list, I know that this is OT for this list, but I know that there's lots of people on this list that may have some input to my problem... I need to disconnect abusers of my dial-up network that are sitting idle for extended periods of time. I am running a Cisco 72xx terminating an L2 tunnel with the traffic going into VPDN's. The Cisco IOS command for ppp timeout idle should work, but unfortunately, with virtual-templates, you can't set what is considered interesting traffic. So the abusers have found that setting their email client to pop their mailbox resets this timer and they are able to stay on. So far, my only option has been to set an absolute timer which kicks them off regardless of their traffic. I would prefer to not do this in this manner as it's not fair to someone who is truly x-fer'ing a large file... I am an unlimited service... Any suggestions? I thank you for reading this OT message.

I have said many times before that my opinion is that POP-before-SMTP and IMAP-before-SMTP approach is a hack, nothing more. This approach might have made sense 2-3 years ago, but not any more. Pretty much every mail client out there supports authenticated SMTP, and that's the right solution for this particular problem. That's what people should be doing. Authenticated SMTP is a much more reliable, and a technically sane approach. FWIW, you can still get the old authentication configuration by specifying --without-authdaemon to Courier-IMAP's configuration script. It's just that the default setting now builds authdaemon, because it's simply easier for me with everyone on the same playing field, and everyone using authdaemon. -- Sam
RE: attachment size limit
By default sqwebmail is set to 2 MB of maximum size of messages, including attachments. You can define it when you configure the sqwebmail with te option --with-maxmsgsize=n. Read the sqwebmail install included in the sqwebmail tarball. Using a MUA you don't have attachment limits if it is not set a /var/qmail/control/databytes file with the allowed attachment size.
