The solution might be to find the '@' in DTLINE, determine the length of the domain name (@ to trailing NULL) and skip that many bytes from the beginning of the address. Maybe it's better to use other environment variables (USER, HOST, LOCAL, RECIPIENT?) to build the delivered-to header. -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Apparently, Exchange relies on this in some way. it shouldn't. The header lines are not normally used in mail routing. exchange *should* be using the smtp envelope (ie the "RCPT [EMAIL PROTECTED]" that is passed in the SMTP exchange) to route the message, rather than information in a message header, which is purely for post-event audit purposes. I had this (or at least a similar issue) with a Exchange mail administrator who was unable to route mail from a mailing list to his user because the 'To: ...' line in the headers didn't match any user in his domain ... I pointed out (to no avail) that the To: header had nothing to do with routing the message ... :( > You can see it here..

Has anyone seen this before, and > know of a fix? sadly I don't know of a 'fix' ... but there may be one ... I suspect this is a qmail issue rather than a vchkpw issue,( although really, all its doing is recording one step in the internal qmail routing, so its arbitary what is written there, Exchange shouldn;t even be reading it.) (this line is the routing to the alias in /var/qmail/users/assign, it is defined in /var/qmail/control/rcpthosts) .. its just an record of one part of the routing within the server, I don't really see why Exchange should be worried by it in anyway. I have however, as I said, had similar problems with exchange, but for that part, there is only one cure ;) > >Received: from exchange-pop3-connector.com (LSPROXY [192.168.0.2]) by > >lsproxy.linkline.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service > >Version 5.5.2653.13) > > id 205XX740; Wed, 18 Jun 2003 15:13:04 -0700 > >Received: (qmail 94044 invoked by uid 1009); 18 Jun 2003 22:11:20 - > >Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Received: (qmail 94025 invoked by uid 0); 18 Jun 2003 22:11:20 - > > Thanks! > > --Doug -- Robin Szemeti Redpoint Consulting Limited Real Solutions For A Virtual World

Re: [vchkpw] vchkpw and swebmail's /etc/userdb?
Hi, Maybe I'm missing something, but why can't you continue to use userdb for system users? qmail - will still work like it used to courier-imap will work with it courier-pop will work with it. I don't use sqwebmail, but I assume it uses the same auth mech as courier-imap does, so it would still work as well.

RE: [vchkpw] getting local mails via pop3
I'm a little confused here...why would you be continuing to use local accounts if you've installed vpopmail?

[vchkpw] getting local mails via pop3
Hello. I have qmail and vpopmail installed. Getting mails for virtual domains works well, but not for local users. pop3d runs as root (so it has access to /etc/passwd), but I don't know why this error occurs when I wan't to get my local mail via POP3: The client gets: -ERR authorization failed Syslog prints: Jun 25 18:39:41 base vpopmail[24197]: vchkpw: vpopmail user not found phi@:10.200.10.1 I'm running the client from the internal machine 10.200.10.1, thats why the IP is in the logs. phi definitly exists in /etc/passwd. Any ideas? Gonzo

[vchkpw] Problem with sharing domains dir via NFS
Hi, hopefully someone could help me with this problem: We have to mail servers running qmail + vpopmail 5.3.9 The second server should get the vpopmail/domains dir via NFS from the first one. It seems that just the first 100 domains are working. All domans inside domains/0/ or domains/1/ are not recognized by the second server. I guess this has something to do with domains/.dir-control? Any chance to get the second server recognizing the 100+ domains? Thanks, Bernhard
