Re: [vchkpw] Using tcpserver/mysql
Paul Fries writes: Yeah I have been really pulling my hair out over that one. =) With as many Pop-3 connections/sec that our servers handle I thought that I would make things a little smoother if Vpopmail didn't write the cdb. I am afraid that the hash would become corrupt and cause relay problems for my users. Assuming that vpopmail has proper locking for the tcprules(1) source file and uses unique temporary files everytime it runs tcprules, then this isn't a problem. tcprules atomically updates the cdb file. -- David Phillips [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://david.acz.org/

[vchkpw] [announce] vodmr - ODMR server for vpopmail+qmail
Hi, I have written an RFC 2645 On-Demand Mail Relay (ODMR) / Authenticated TURN (ATRN) server for vpopmail/vchkpw mail servers running qmail. It has a working title of ``vodmr''. It is written in perl and is available under the same licence as perl itself. It's available for download from http://romana.now.ie/#vodmr The current release is version 0.8, released 6th September 2002. It should be considered as beta software. It has been tested with fetchmail 5.9.11/5.9.13 and XATRN 1.2.2 ODMR clients and qmail-smtpd 1.03, sendmail 8.9.3/8.11.3 and MDaemon 5.0.7 SMTP servers. It hasn't yet been subjected to widespread public testing. This is a request for beta testers to download it, try it out and let me know how you get along with the program itself and its documentation. For the program to work, you will need: 1. A working vpopmail/vchkpw using qmail. 2. Perl 5 with MIME::Base64, Mail::Header, CDB_File and Digest::HMAC_MD5 modules 3. Maildir mailboxes 4. A UCSPI-TCP server (tcpserver is ideal) or inetd / xinetd Some things to note; Requires vpopmail (and qmail) Uses your existing qmail configuration files No changes are needed to vpopmail or qmail Implements CRAM-MD5 challenge-response authentication (required by RFC) Uses either comment or password field of vpasswd.cdb for secrets Domains can be setup for ODMR with qmailadmin and/or the vpopmail command line tools Minimal implementation Message bouncing Logs to stderr (the default) or syslog The vodmr server is explicitly not a long running daemon. tcpserver/inetd manage the networking elements, including starting the vodmr daemon to service new connections. vodmr deals only with stdin, stdout and stderr. vodmr does not need to run as root so don't! Run it as your vpopmail user. (It'll complain if you do run it as root) PROBLEM REPORTING If you want to report a problem, submit a patch, a comment or a question please email [EMAIL PROTECTED].

[vchkpw] duplicate email being received
I seem to be having difficulties accessing the archives so I apologize if this has been a recent thread. -vpopmail 5.3.6- I've had virtual domains on a new server for several months. In the last few weeks, a few of them have mentioned that they get duplicate emails. Sometimes 4 or 5 of the same message. When I get on the phone with them and physically watch to see if these emails disappear from the new and cur directories, they appear to do so. Later on, the person still gets multiple copies. Looking at the headers, they all have the identical timestamp, so it's not that the same message is being sent from the sender. For one of my domains, there's only one user who gets them. Everyone else gets one copy only. It's only some domains, and only some users. I can't even come up with a theory at this point. It seems to be the same email yet they're obviously popping it successfully the first time. Where is this coming from? Thanks! Krista -- Dachshunds are really small crocodiles with fur.

[vchkpw] APOP/Learned Passwords
I have configured my system to enable learned passwords, and this is working as expected. Any user that logs in sets their password on the first authentication. However, I have noticed that users logging in with APOP are able to check their mail, but NO password is set in the database. Indeed they can put whatever they want in the password field, and they will still be allowed to check that POP box. I am using vpopmail 5.3.8 with --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-mysql=y --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-learn-passwords=y Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks!

Re: [vchkpw] APOP/Learned Passwords
That's because only POP3 has that functionality. sqwebmail and courier imap also lack this feature.

RE: [vchkpw] duplicate email being received
My fault, I didn't mention that I already checked if there were any aliases or mailing lists involved. It was the only idea I had. :) There are none created on the domain at all. -Original Message- From: Ken Jones [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 06, 2002 12:04 PM To: Krista Smith; '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: Re: [vchkpw] duplicate email being received Check for an alias list that contains multiple paths to Maildirs where one (or more) of the Maildirs(accounts) do not exist. qmail-local see's the missing Maildir as a temporary error, stops delivery to the list and schedules it for delivery again. And it will run into the same time on each subsequent delivery. THis has the result of deliverying multiple copies to the first users in the alias list.

Re: [vchkpw] APOP/Learned Passwords
it's correct, since APOP method doesn't send user's paswword in clear-text, and every time password send is different from the previous, so it is impossible (and unreasonable) to learn apop-passwords. New users should use clear-text password at first login to make this feature work. - Original Message - From: Paul Fries [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, September 07, 2002 5:09 AM Subject: [vchkpw] APOP/Learned Passwords I have configured my system to enable learned passwords, and this is working as expected.
