Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail Debian
Thanks David for the detailed description. At the moment I am just trying to compile from source after 'Lifewithqmail'. Then I will follow your instructions and ask if I get stuck somewhere.

Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail Debian
The alternative way, of course, is to use the slightly more out-of-date packages that Debian provides. Download (or dselect) the qmail-src package in Debian, the run "build-qmail" (during installation this will mention this, so don't worry). After that, grab the vpopmail packages in Debian as well, and install those. Blam. Apart from some tweaking, you're done.

I've been out (working) most of the day and haven't been able to keep up. It should be easy to put together a utility to convert the limits, not an issue. As for several of the other comments, I'd like to take tonight to think about several of the suggestions and post one myself. I've been running with the current patched API since vpopmail 4.9.6 and its been working well. I also have a patched qmailadmin-1.0.4 with quotas (I forgot who wrote the quota patch), and a patched version of vdelivermail. Both of these use a recursive stat() to determine usage & quota since it was before the Maildir++ quotas were in there, so I always had *regular* disk usage quotas enforced which I believe may differ from the Maildir++ quotas. My intent was to get the API into the library before updating the programs/utilities to actually use the API. I've been sitting on this for about 10 months now (with a working system), and now finally got it into the distribution. Now it seems (from all the traffic on it today) that nobody can wait for it... I think it would be best to get the base correct and sound before actually using it in the utilities and programs. I have some pros/cons (and I'd like to extend the list and send it out to everyone) about the current implementation and want to get some feedback before moving on it. (Its waited 10 months already, another day or two won't hurt). I'll compile and post some questions in a bit to see what people really want/need and make sure this gets done properly. Thanks, Brian

Bill, I was speaking mainly about qmailadmin. It's not included in the last version, not in the suggested MySQL notes below. That's the reason for which I was suggesting to change layout, in order to add new options without working too much on MySQL. Anyway, two notes: 1) I feel that would be much better another layout, like: domain CHAR(64) PRIMARY KEY, option CHAR(64) PRIMARY KEY, value CHAR(64) NOT NULL that would permit to add other options more easily. Yes, but the downside is that the value field is way too big for items that just need to be 0 or 1. I don't know how much of an impact this will have, though. Why not to use VARCHAR fields? Brian: Any thoughts on this? Some of your code would have to be rewritten to do this. 2) I'ld like to have other options in qmailadmin-limits, that could permit to deny some functions to 'admin' users that are not 'postmaster': ex. deny_list_create deny_list_modify deny_list_users_modify deny_list_moderators_modify deny_account_create deny_alias_create Yes, this would be great. Do you have any code that implements this? These options would be impossible to add with the 'fixed' MySQL layout, unless you create a huge record to manage them. Tonino
[vchkpw] 5.3.10 devel
Ken, all: I've posted 5.3.10 devel on my site: Download: http://shupp.org/patches/vpopmail-5.3.10.tar.gz Changes: 5.3.10 10/23/02 "Bill Shupp" hostmaster at shupp dot org - Added limits table layout to vmysql.h - Changed valias_line to be type "blob" to compensate for large mailing list commands. Increased FILE_LINE_SIZE to 1024 in vcalias for the same reason. vcalias now escapes FileLine input. Thanks to Brad Dameron for pointing this out. - Added disable_smtp support to the new vlimits functions - Fixed configure.in so that --enable-mysql-limits is now reported after running configure - Moved format_maildirquota() to the vpopmail library. Updated vlimits.c to use format_maildirquota() for default_quota. - format_maildirquota() now uses 1024 and and 1048576 when converting KB and MB instead of 1000 and 100, respectively. 10/23/02 "Anders Brander" anders at brander dot dk - vdelivermail: Check for | *before* /Maildir/ in .qmail processing - vdelivermail: Add missing case for error code 100 Please help test, and report any problems to the list.

It could be interesting to know what to deny, in all's opinion. Ideally, I want to have all the same functionality in qmailadmin that EZWEB has. Some thought needs to go into that, as well as the limits you are suggesting. I won't have time to work on that right now, as I'm still trying to integrate other things. Regards, Bill Shupp

Hi Zeno, First let me say there's no need to drop me a copy of your answer to my e-mail-address directly. I'm reading the list, therefore answering on list is sufficient.

How 's your POP3 started?

Why? I dunno. As you stated you're using still 4.9.9-1 I'd suggest you remove vpopmail-bin from debian pool and compile at least a 5.2.1 from http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail, if not even a 5.3.8 from same site but devel page. The latter I'd call quite stable so there shouldn't be to much risk left. If the problem persists with newer version we'll probably be able to hunt down the culprit, at least much easier than me or anybody else installing a 4.9.9 with Debian specs and do the debugging job for you (albeit I'm running Debian [Woody] too I don't want to step back, it's not worth the trouble as the older version is quite outdated). -- Pit
