RE: [vchkpw] vpopmail enable-roaming with courier
I still don't see any SMTP authentication problem. What am I missing. If I clear the tcp.smtp.cdb file the open relay locks down tight. I send via Courier-IMAP and it works fine. Try to send from a POP client. Still locked down tight but since it authenticated with POP adds the entry to tcp.smtp.cdb and opens it up for me for the next round thus POP before SMTP is functional. Courier-IMAP is using the local machine so should always be able to send given the user logged in effectively. Isn't this how it is supposed to work? So what is this about a security problem with Vchkpw and Courier? We are about to implement this on our production machines so if there is a hole I sure would like to know about it now. Thanks, Wil Hatfield

[vchkpw] MySQL configure trouble
Hi, I'm running vpopmail on a FreeBSD box. I've just installed it from scratch through ports with the following options: -DWITH_MYSQL -DWITH_MYSQL_LARGE_SITE -DWITH_MYSQL_LIMITS \ -DWITH_IP_ALIAS -DHARDQUOTA=1000 -DLOGLEVEL=y -DWITH_MYSQL_LOG \ -DWITH_MYSQL_SERVER=my.server.com -DWITH_MYSQL_USER=vpopmail \ -DWITH_MYSQL_PASSWD= -DWITH_MYSQL_DB=vpopmail However, when installed it doesn't seem to recognize my DB parameters. When I try adding a domain I get: # bin/vadddomain mydomain.com could not connect to mysql update server Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) with database could not connect to mysql update server Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) vmysql: sql error[c]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[b]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[c]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[c]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[b]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[3]: MySQL server has gone away vmysql: sql error[2]: MySQL server has gone away Error: Unable to chdir to vpopmail/users directory Apparently it tries to use an unnamed database on the localhost mysql-server.

[vchkpw] Log successful/failed attempts to multilog
Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone out there have worked out putting log attempts to qmail's multilog Currently it keeps logging to syslog, I need to put it into multilog so I can use qmailmrtg7 to output the mrtg input. Or.. if anyone got a better way of feeding MRTG with the log attempts, please let me know, thanks :D Andryan
