Try this -- no guarantees that it will work. Make the following files group writable and change the group to vchkpw: /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains.lock /var/qmail/control/morercpthosts /var/qmail/control/morercpthosts.cdb /var/qmail/control/morercpthosts.lock /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts.lock /var/qmail/users/assign /var/qmail/users/assign.lock /var/qmail/users/cdb I think that covers all of the files that could be modified by the vpopmail programs. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[vchkpw] Strange problem?
Hi, there. I'm using qmail, vpopmail, courier-imap, mysql to building email system. All of them are stable release version. Now I got some problem: 1, qmail, vpopmail, courier-imap (qmail-pop3d), mysql, all of them work fine. 2, I can send email to my virtual domain's user. and check the email from imap and pop3 client. 3, I'm using Outlook Express as my email client (for both pop3 and imap) 4, My problem is: By using Outlook Express IMAP client, I can NOT create, delete, subscribe or list any folders except INBOX. I do have "Root Folder Path" set as "INBOX.". I tried to use telnet to connect to 143 port, and run IMAP command directly, no problem. Just can not do these operations in Outlook Express. Since I don't have other email client, I was not able to test it with other email client. 5, I used to setup email system by qmail, courier-imap with system passwd authorization without problem. So I'm think if it's vpopmail problem. Another question is: Do I had to run vadddomain command as root? I tried to run it as vpopmail, looks like subfolder for domain been created, database tables been created, but still report error. and vdominfo told me no domain exists. So where does vpopmail store these virtual domain infomation except in mysql database? Any comments, tips will be appreciate. Thanks Noodle
RE: [vchkpw] Strange problem?
After making those changes, and additionally adding /var/qmail/users and /var/qmail/control to group writeable, group vchkpw, I now get domain does not exist errors. Strace indicates that it wrote all of the files, however one problem is that it resets the mode to 644 in each place. The other problem is that it now returns with a "Domain does not exist" error instead of simply segfaulting. I can provide the complete strace if anyone is interested.
