Virtually nothing. When I was starting to learn about qmail and vpopmail I had a former colleague and good friend to call on as a resource. His answers to me were, more often than not, along the lines of "man dot-qmail" or "What do the logs say?". Sometimes this would frustrate me if I was looking for a quick fix but I am eternally grateful to him for this approach as I now know so much more about the subject (take a bow Mark P!) As the saying goes: "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime." Or, alternatively: "Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks." :o) R. -- Robin Bowes | http://robinbowes.com

Yeah -- use procmail. :-) Seriously that is what we are doing. A couple things I did learn in the process: - you cannot make .qmail-default immutable (chattr +i) -- vpopmail/qmailadmin goes ballistic (can't remember which, probably the latter) - you *can* set up a 5 minute cron job that cp -f .qmail-default.WHAT_I_WANT .qmail-default - use procmail. I was doing #2 for a while but settled on #3 since it lets me do some further magic like tossing the spam mail into the user's .spam IMAP folder. Regards, Andrew

Re[2]: [vchkpw] How can I hide my IP
This problem _could_ be legitimate ... I sometimes have a similar problem: When I'm travelling and access the Net via, say, a Norwegian provider, but send emails with the "From" and "Reply-to" headers set to my .co.uk home domain address, certain emails never get to the intended recipients. Hotmail users in particular never receive my mails. My guess is that hotmail does a reverse-lookup on the address and refuses it if it is different (but I'm open to other suggestions!). So I got past that by using the server which hosts my domains as a SMTP relay. Then all my mails get through. (I did have to use a different port and SMTP AUTH because some providers redirect all outgoing port 25 traffic to their own servers - not necessarily a bad thing as some have virus filters etc. in place). How about setting up a mail relay server in the country you're supposed to be in. Then, according to your message below, you would have no need to hide the IP address of your main server.

[vchkpw] HA! vqregister database issue squashed
Allright, I've been running vqregister for quite a while, and I've
wanted to add a 'Secret Word' so users could re-request their email
password. Obviously, the database functions should take care of that.
Not on my system :(
I think what it all came down to was my version of MySQL. I think the
db functions for MySQL were done on an older version than I have, and my
version is just pickier.
Anyways, I attached a full patch that does everything but link
db_mysql.* -> db_*. I don't know what parts or even if you want it, but
the biggest issue was the MySQL insert.
Apparently my versions (I've upgraded since first trying), require the
column names before the values. So I added that to db_mysql.c, and
that's reflected in the first part of the patch.
Have Fun!

RE: [vchkpw] How can I hide my IP
Regardless of our own personal disagreements. To answer your question:
Yes it is possible, but there is no setting for it. You'll need to open up
the source of qmail (or whatever MTA you decide to use) and make changes to
it in order to do this. Removal of, or not adding in, the client IP of the
sender does not follow SMTP standards and understand that if you do this it
might result in other hosts blocking all mail from your mail server(s)
and/or IP block. It would be a trick that most spammers would use to hide
themselves, and therefore is not highly liked by the mail server community
;). It's open source, it's unix, so you're limited only to your abilities
to change the code. But there is no easy solution that we have for you, I'm
sorry. And judging from the response we've seen here, I wouldn't expect to
get a lot of help either. My apologies, but that's your answer.

Re: [vchkpw] How can I hide my IP
hmm, i was going to defend you with regard to some of the judgemental posts
that have been made ('sending bulk email?' 'sounds shady'), but
unfortunately, what you describe below sounds unethical at best, illegal at
worst.

Re: [vchkpw] Moving qmail queue
> I have a problem with qmail. Qmail qeue files are in /var/qmail but I need > to move this files due to low space in my disk There are a couple ways to do this: set up a second instance of qmail in the new location and just let the old instance finish delivering its queue (i.e. not take any more emails in), then remove it. The second way would just be to move your queue over and then run queue-fix or queue-repair.py (I prefer the latter) -- the files in the queue are named according to their inode number, so if you just move it without correcting the filenames you will not get far. The files mentioned are available on any qmail.org mirror. Regards, Andrew

RE: [vchkpw] How can I hide my IP
Without changing how SMTP header tagging works, you'll have a tough time doing it. The client IP is logged in the headers for a reason, email tracking. Works great for blocking spammers :). -Clayton -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 18, 2003 8:07 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [vchkpw] How can I hide my IP Why would you like to hide your IP?

Re: [vchkpw] How can I hide my IP
Any good MTA software, Qmail for instance, is going to record the original sender's IP inside the first Received header. So, basically, if the MTA does as it should no. If it doesnt, you dont need to perform any special functions to 'hide' your IP.

Is it _that difficulty_ as a person that wants to develop something on top of vpopmail to have a look at the source code? vpasswd.c, the source code for vpasswd, used for (native) password changing reveals: a call to 'vgetpasswd()'. A short grep shows: declared in vpopmail.h, defined in vpopmail.c. 'vgetpasswd()' itself calls 'mkpasswd3()', "hidden" in the same file. And 'mkpasswd3()' makes use of crypt(), a standard unix library function to encrypt passwords one-way ... as any good perl documentation mentions too. Are you sure you're the right one to develope something _that_ sensible as "password checking and changing" if you ain't able to figure out _from the source code_ that the standard library call is used??? -- Ciao, Peter

[vchkpw] Strange behavior when using é,á,ú,ő,ó,ü,ö,ű
Hello ! Maybe it is a qmailadmin problem, maybe not. If I set the comment field to : "é Ú Û", than qmailadmin adds it to database, but then I cannot modify the users comment field, and can not change password. I think, that after the space can be any kind of non regular english letters. The strangst thing is that I tried it again, and now it is working. This problem showed up when someone told me that he can not change his password. The comment field lookd like this : Fx Rx. Göxxöxxöx Üxxx Than I changed the Ü to little ü in mysql, and then everything worked fine. Sometimes I I try to add a user, with a nem like the above, the qmailadmin say: Error adding user, but It adds to database, then I cannot modify from qmailadmin. Any idea ? I am using : vpopmail 5.2.1, qmailadmin 1.0.6, and mysql 3.23.49 on a Debnian box. CoyoteTM
