Re: [vchkpw] Upgrading Vpopmail to 5.2.1 and Auth Now Fails
Hello, I recently setup a vpopmail + qmail + sqwebmail box. NOTE: I may be confusing some of the following suggestions with courier-imap install issues I had. Sorry if im off here. 1) I had to 'chown root.root /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw'. 2) Also, try this: make the 'authmodulelist=' line in /usr/local/sqwebmail/authdaemonrc look like: authmodulelist="authvchkpw" Because I think sqwebmail gets confused if authvchkpw is not first in the list, as earlier entries take precedence for authorization, and any othe authmodules you may have compiled may be complicating the situation. See next suggestion. 3) /usr/local/src/vpopmail-5.2.1# ./configure --help |grep sqwebmail : " --enable-sqwebmail-pass=y|n Turn on support for sqwebmail passwords (y) or off (n) default is no. For sqwebmail-3.0 and above use default no" Hmm? Try to explicitly set all configure options, especially auth options for both sqwebmail and vpopmail: /usr/local/src/vpopmail-5.2.1# ./configure --help /usr/local/src/sqwebmail-3.4.0.20021223# ./configure --help like for sqwebmail: ./configure --with-(only module you need probably authvchkpw) --without-(everything you dont need) and etc for vpopmail.

[vchkpw] Looking up Vpopmail passwords
Hello, We will be moving our mail system over to a Qmail/Vpopmail solution very soon, and I am just trying to decide between using the default "flat" file format, or a MySQL backend. My only concern at this point is allowing our tech staff to look up a client's password, should it become necessary. Currently, the email accounts are tied in to our billing database, but this will no longer be the case. I guess my questions are: 1. Is it possible to look up an email user's password regardless of whether a the "flat file" format is used, or the MySQL backend? (i.e., is there a web-based admin tool that will allow our tech staff to do this)? 2. Would using MySQL tend to be faster or slower than using the "flat file" format? We have just over 1200 email users, and expect this to grow significantly in the next 12-18 months, so I would like to have the better of the two in place now,rather than looking at upgrading down the road. (I like the idea of using MySQL as the back end, as I think it will allow us to write a custom interface, as well as make certain things easier, like Spamassassin administration, whcih we will be implementing, no?) TIA for your input. Alan Murrell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> __ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
[vchkpw] Upgrading Vpopmail to 5.2.1 and Auth Now Fails
G'Day All, I have had a stable and working qmail + vpopmail + qmailadmin + sqwebmail system running for some 2 years now except for one little prob under sqwebmail for quota's. Upon reading some info i believe this quirk is now gone under sqwebmail in the new versions but to do that upgrade of course i need to upgrade vpopmail, which was fine, except that the new version won't auth anyone with the new vchkpw... Info for system below : Qmail 1.03 (of course) vpopmail-3.4.11-1 my configure line for the new vpopmail (5.2.1) is : ./configure --enable-ip-alias-domains=y --enable-logging=e --enable- vpopuser=vpopmail --enable-md5-passwords=y --enable- defaultquota=20M --enable-clear-passwd=n (i have tried with enable-clear-passwd=y but no difference.) I run Qmail under tcpserver as follows : tcpserver -R -H 0 pop3 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup domainxyz.com.au /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail- pop3d Maildir& The domains all have their vpasswd/vpasswd.cdb files, but for some reason when i update the vchkpw it fails to auth. As soon as i revert no probs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Nathan Out the 100TX, through the switch, down the cable modem, over the fiber optics, off the bridge, past the head end office nothing but 'Net.

[vchkpw] Pop Before Relay?
Greetings, Another newbie question: What has to be done to allow POP before SMTP relay authentication? I have: 1) Set up mysql 2) Set up Qmail. 3) Set up VPOPmail (with the "enable roaming users" switch, mysql switch, etc.) 4) Read the VOPmail INSTALL file, and the FAQ So far, the only combination of things that seems to partially work is: a) Starting up tcpserver: tcpserver -H -R -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -c20 -u506 -g505 0 smtp \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 > /dev/null & where 506 is "qmaild" and 505 is "nofiles" b) Starting up qmail: /bin/csh -cf '/var/qmail/rc &' Current Behavior: If I start only the tcpserver, mail is accepted by the machine, but never delivered locally. If I start the tcpserver AND qmail, mail is accepted and delivered locally and can be successfully POPed by a virtuser account. BUT: attempts to relay through the server after successfully POPing fail with the 5.7.1 error message: "sorry that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts". I'm sure this is obvious, but sadly, not to me. TIA for any pointers/suggestions... --Duncan
RE: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + mysql + Redhat 8
Keith, In an effort to troubleshoot this particular problem... Would it be possible for you to alter the assign file to also include an entry for kelnet.net_ but point to the same information as the other entry in the assign file? Then see if it works... (this would test the rest of the vpopmail installation as it sits.) I am pretty sure it will because of the stray _ in there. I have to wonder where that is coming from. Seems like it might be a bug with the gcc compiler or the glibc itself... as I have heard there are some issues with that gcc compiler... I am not really sure... As I understand the process qmail-smtpd receives the mail and then hands it over to vckpw which mangles the user information into the EXT compatiable format [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which vdelievermail uses when the variables come from qmail-local/qmail-command). It might be possible that vckpw is suspect in RH8.0 when compiled with that version of gcc... I read that you tried the compiled binaries on RH8.0 but I think you are talking about qmail not vpopmail (which is where the issue probably resides). Good luck on getting it sorted... I could dig through the code, but I am having my own issues that I am trying to dig through the code to find right now... (post forth coming shortly). Let me know what you find out. I am always curious when something odd like this pops up.

Sorry 'bout sending that last message as 'Super-User'... We're using F5's load balancer and it's been working great for us. It has similar features as the Foundry switch you mentioned (and the service monitoring is great!). The main worry I have at this point is the NFS server.

Very powerful; it not only detects if the server is running, or listening to port 25/110, but it actually understands SMTP and POP3 and will make sure the SMTP and POP3 servers are responding properly as part of its 'heartbeat' tests.. So, for example, if you had a machine that had a problem and would still listen to port 25 but couldnt actually answer with a '220', it would be treated as 'offline' instead of opening dead connections for clients.. It also allows you to load balance between X number of servers rather than just failing over in 'worst case scenario' situations.. Andre

RE: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + mysql + Redhat 8
Tom, Thanks for the info although I believe that everything is configured correctly. I did notice something interesting though. When I send mail to the 8.0 server and watch the log file for the starting delivery messages I see this: @40003e108cb13a39e81c new msg 196739 @40003e108cb13a39ff8c info msg 196739: bytes 57171 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 13176 uid 502 @40003e108cb13ac7439c starting delivery 1: msg 196739 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @40003e108cb13ac75b0c status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @40003e108cb13b17b944 delivery 1: failure: Sorry,_no_mailbox_here_by_that_name._(#5.1.1)/ @40003e108cb13b17d884 status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 Notice where it says starting delivery 1: msg 196739 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] there is a _ attached to kelnet.net_. This would explain why qmail is not talking to vpopmail. I am not sure why this is happening because when I do the same thing on the 7.3 box, the extra _ is not there and the correct virtual domain is found as shown below: @40003e1089a12edf07f4 new msg 58686 @40003e1089a12edf234c info msg 58686: bytes 57192 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 3843 uid 502 @40003e1089a1342ae96c starting delivery 21: msg 58686 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @40003e1089a1342b04c4 status: local 1/10 remote 0/20 @40003e1089a137502ddc delivery 21: success: did_0+0+1/ @40003e1089a137504d1c status: local 0/10 remote 0/20 @40003e1089a1375054ec end msg 58686 For grins, I recompiled qmail on the 7.3 box and installed the compiled binaries on the 8.0 box but still have this problem.

Re: [vchkpw] max accounts limit?
vpopmail doesn't seem to handle properly domains with many,many users. if i add one or more users, the # of users displayed by the vdominfo program isn't incremented, but everything else works (maildir creation, sending/receiving emails for that user,etc.) i've found also that the weird path comes from the dir_control table, specifically the field called the_dir: on my installation, the value is '0//'. apparently, the code in vpopmail related to the bigdir feature isn't working does someone has any clue on why vpopmail is behaving this way? is this related to my domain having to many users?

RE: [vchkpw] Help in vqsignup
May I suggest you try VQRegister rather than VQSignup. The lastest version of VQRegister is 2.6, which is needed for Vpopmail 5.1.x or great (IIRC). Also, if your looking at the Lions site as a demo, that's VQRegister. Here's the steps to install just in case you need to see them. 1) Download VQRegister: wget http://www.inter7.com/vqregister/vqregister-2.6.tar.gz 2) Decompress it: tar -zxvpf vqregister-2.6.tar.gz 3) Enter Directory: cd vqregister-2.6 4) Edit the vqregister.conf file to suit your configuration: vi vqregister.conf # NOTE: There are a few changes that need to be made, you will need to read through the file. # NOTE: When you edit the vqregister.conf file, you will need to put your domains like: # NOTE: (Each on a separate line) AllowDomain test.com AllowDomain test2.com AllowDomain test.net 5) Edit the vqregister.email to suite your configuration (If you send a welcome letter): vi vqregister.email 6) Edit the badhosts file if you want to use it, (Must be turned on in vqregister.conf): vi badhosts 7) Edit the 'Makefile' file. This is the important step, if you do this wrong it probably won't compile. vi Makefile # Edit the following Lines: # Change to home directory of your vpopmail VDIR = /home/vpopmail # Name of your compiler (leave as is) CC = gcc # I left alone BIN = vqregister # Change to path of your MySQL include directory: (My RedHat 7.3 is located at: /usr/include/mysql) DEFS = -I$(VDIR)/include -I/usr/local/mysql/include # I left alone LINKDEFS = # Change to path of your MySQL lib directory: (My RedHat 7.3 is located at: /usr/lib/mysql) LIBS = -L$(VDIR)/lib -lvpopmail -lcrypt -L/usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql -lmysqlclient OBJS = main.o cgi.o template.o global.o misc.o config.o register.o password.o \ vpopmail.o db.o field.o badhosts.o # Change to path of your Apache CGI Directory (Stock RedHat is 7.x is /var/www/cgi-bin) INSTALL_DIR = /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/vqregister # Name of binary cgi to be created (vqregister.cgi) INSTALL_BIN = vqregister.cgi # Username of Vpopmail User INSTALL_UID = vpopmail # Group of Vpopmail User INSTALL_GID = vchkpw # End of changes to Makefile 8) Edit the webpages in the /html directory to suite your site. 9) Compile the entire thing by typing: make make install 10) Go check out your work! http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/vqregister/vqregister.cgi BTW, IF you need a copy of my vqregister or Makefile and my customized HTML, let me know I will be happy to share it with you. Hope this helped. You can see what it looks like running at my website, I don't think it's proper to advertise here, so email me if you would like the url.

Re: [vchkpw] qmail + vpopmail + mysql + Redhat 8
What do your qmail control files look like? /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts /var/qmail/users/assign I'm assuming they're correct, otherwise we'd probably get an error about that domain not being in qmail's allowed list of rcpthosts. But it can't hurt to check. I'd be most interested in /var/qmail/users/assign.

Well Matt from looking at this and the fact that I also run Redhat 7.3 I see one thing wrong. Your default /etc/services file has your pop-3 as pop3. There are several ways to fix this, 1) either modify the /etc/services [bad idea], 2) Modify your run script to say pop3 [good choice], or 3) modify your run script to say 110 instead of pop-3 [best choice, unless you use a different port number]. Hope that helps some. Joe This the question I have just asked.I have modified the script again as suggested to reference pop3 instead of pop-3. I still cannot get the qmail-pop3d daemon to stay up longer than 1 second. I need to know if 1 second is whats expected as I would not expect the pop3 daemon to stay up all the time just spawn when called. I could be wrong though. Thanks, Matt.

Well Matt from looking at this and the fact that I also run Redhat 7.3 I see one thing wrong. Your default /etc/services file has your pop-3 as pop3. There are several ways to fix this, 1) either modify the /etc/services [bad idea], 2) Modify your run script to say pop3 [good choice], or 3) modify your run script to say 110 instead of pop-3 [best choice, unless you use a different port number]. Hope that helps some. Joe

Fix this, the pop3d service should start within 5 seconds after its fixed.

[vchkpw] qmail/vpopmail cannot auth pop3 clients. No logging.
hi, I have a redhat 7.3 system running qmail/vpopmail/vqadmin/ and sqwebmail. All appears to be working well, ie send and recive messages from virtual accounts, webmail auth works fine, however I cannot get my pop3 clients to authorise and download mail. My Mail server has to interfaces, one connects to the internet (alesi.projecthugo.co.uk) the other is on my local lan (jordan.no-dns.co.uk) I have a domain called mdlan.co.uk - and an account matthew.darcy on mdlan.co.uk if I login to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using sqwebmail I can send / recived mail, make folders etc etc, however when I connect to it via pop3 using MS Outlook 2000 I get a poor MS connection error. I have tried connecting to the mail server via the internal address jordan.no-dns.co.uk and via the external system alesi.projecthugo.co.uk using the usernames [EMAIL PROTECTED] or matthew.darcy%mdlan.co.uk - same connection error every time qmail stats show pop3 is not staying up for longer than 1 second [root@jordan pop3d]# qmailctl stat /service/qmail-send: up (pid 30961) 925 seconds /service/qmail-send/log: up (pid 1171) 2989243 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd: up (pid 30963) 925 seconds /service/qmail-smtpd/log: up (pid 1172) 2989243 seconds /service/qmail-pop3d: up (pid 31995) 0 seconds /service/qmail-pop3d/log: up (pid 1173) 2989243 seconds messages in queue: 0 messages in queue but not yet preprocessed: 0 I am not sure if this is normal as shouldn't the pop3d daemon only start up when called - if via a login request ? Also my logs in /var/log/qmail/pop3 have no information in them [root@jordan pop3d]# ls -la total 8 drwxr-xr-x2 qmaill root 4096 Dec 30 12:56 . drwxr-xr-x4 qmaill root 4096 Dec 30 12:30 .. -rw-r--r--1 qmaill nofiles 0 Nov 9 19:22 current -rw---1 qmaill nofiles 0 Sep 29 10:14 lock -rw-r--r--1 qmaill nofiles 0 Nov 9 19:22 state Any suggestions on how to debug this / progress this / fix this.
