Re: [vchkpw] Spam Protection with vpopmail and qmail
the only thing i've yet to figure out using qmail-scanner/SA together is once the message is marked, I want something to server side filter the messages to redirect to specific folders. Currently I use squirrelmail with rules to pipe messages to certain folders but if I check using a full client. I use Outlook express via IMAP all messages show up in the Inbox. I tried procmail but was un-successful. Otherwise I absolutely love Qmail-Scanner/Spamassin, its cut my spam down by 80% without tweaking any of the SA rules.

Re: [vchkpw] Corrupted Delivered-To header?

This is a bug in vdelivermail.c, in the section of code after the
following comment:
/* use the DTLINE variable, but skip past the dash in
* [EMAIL PROTECTED]
*/
Basically, it assumes the first dash separates the domain name from the
email address. 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.
I'm looking at the code, and I see that this generation of Delivered-To seems to be
special. Other places generate that header use this:
/* Set the Delivered-To: header */
if ( strcmp( address, bounce) == 0 ) {
snprintf(DeliveredTo, AUTH_SIZE,
%sDelivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], getenv(RPLINE),
TheUser, TheDomain);
What's wrong with using this way all the time? Is it because it's a catch-all address?
Is there anything wrong with just [EMAIL PROTECTED] in this special case?
Thanks for your help!

RE: [vchkpw] Spam Protection with vpopmail and qmail
That sounds very interesting in regards to a project im currently working on, do you know if it would be possible to setup with smtproutes: 1. if it find virus in a mail, instead of relaying to original [EMAIL PROTECTED], it transfers it to another server/domain/account (fx. setup a vpopmail account on the relay server called [EMAIL PROTECTED]) qmail-scanner will quarantine viruses it finds locally. It has its own perl based scanner that you can define rules for (block all .exe, block by regexp, etc) -- works great for static subject viruses or hoaxes and other stuff. qmail-scanner will NOT quarantine spam, but it will 'tag' it in the same fashion that SA was written in. This probably answers your question. 2. same as above, just for spam mails instead (spamassasin score = 5) and to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Read the SA docs and the QS docs on this. You never ever ever quarantine an email because SA says it scored high enough. False positives are a fact of life, and quarantining is silly. In some jurisdictions if you quarantine one bad mail you're at fault for not being 100% effective. Therefor, if you are merely scoring, it is up to the end user to a) move it to another folder or b) trash it and risk losing data. I told a specific person here that they should not dump all mail to the trash folder. They ignored me and did it anyway. They attempted to blame Spam Assassin for their loss of an important contract related email a week later, and the fact is the fault lies in the hands of the fool who chose to let a program automatically delete their email without reviewing it. SA and QS work perfect as is. Quarantining or automating deletion is just pointless and dangerous. 3. if you just relay scan why dont you use Messagewall? Not sure what Messagewall does. I love SA's accuracy rate and I like the way it modifies headers. I actually have a system that works like this: border smtp server | Check for spam score | Then, via smtp routes, if domain is paying for spam detection forward to virus scanner qmail implementation. If they're not, forward to internal server that accepts pop connections. The virus scanner will do the same. Scan, then forward to the same internal server. We do this direction detection by changing the destination (per domain) in smtproutes. -jeff 4. OT: does anyone know if ClamAV works with Squid? (viruscanning http transfers)

I don't see a single advantage in what you're trying to do over simply putting [EMAIL PROTECTED] into ~vpopmail/domains/test.com/.qmail-root This way qmail-local already handles delivery, no additional program is invoked - no fork()'s, spawn()'s or exec()'s, more foolproof than fastforward+vdelivermail, easier to maintain (via qmailadmin).

I see that this is still present in 5.3.20 http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg12238.html Vinod Ken, please apply this patch to 5.3.20. When can we expect the release of 5.3.21? You've got a lot of patches in there, and it would be great if people could start testing them. The last stable release, 5.2.1, was made over a year ago. We've got a lot of improvements in the 5.3 series and we're not far from having a stable release. diff -u vpopmail-5.3.20/vmysql.h vpopmail-5.3.20-tc/vmysql.h --- vpopmail-5.3.20/vmysql.h2003-03-18 17:27:18.0 -0700 +++ vpopmail-5.3.20-tc/vmysql.h 2003-06-27 22:35:09.0 -0700 @@ -48,11 +48,11 @@ primary key (pw_name, pw_domain ) #else #define TABLE_LAYOUT pw_name char(32) not null, \ -pw_domain char(64) not null, +pw_domain char(64) not null, \ pw_passwd char(40), \ pw_uid int, pw_gid int, \ pw_gecos char(48), \ -pw_dir char(160), +pw_dir char(160), \ pw_shell char(20), \ primary key (pw_name, pw_domain ) #endif -- Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[vchkpw] vpopmail 5.3.20
I've managed to install vpopmail 5.3.20 and use it to create email address for all users. Mail incoming/outgoing is working fine. I've got a question, how do I create mail forwarding rules for say example email [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] is being forwarded to: -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have read the accompany doc but does not seem to find how to config forwarding rules. My SMTP/Pop is qmail. Thanks!
Re: [vchkpw] Vpopmail --enable-roaming-users=y
clearopensmtp doesn't touch the open-smtp.tmp files, it removes expired addresses from open-smtp and rebuilds tcp.smtp.cdb. The fact that you have a bunch of those files lying around though means most likely that the tcp.smtp.cdb file can not be rebuilt due to one or more things running as the wrong user. chown everything to vpopmail:vchkpw, make sure your pop3 software is running as vpopmail:vchkpw and then make sure your clearopensmtp cron job runs the job as vpopmail. Ok, noted. I deleted all the tmp files out, and watched as more were created (as users POP'ed in). They were owned by root, and all were 0 bytes. Just blank files. I then changed the inetd line to launch pop3d under vpopmail.vchkpw, and these files were still created, just with vpopmail.vchkpw ownership. Also of interest is that an open-smtp.lock file is created under whichever user pop3d is run under, and does not get cleared... hrm. What pop3 software are you using? If qmail-pop3d post your run script for it, if courier, then the problem is courier has disabled the roaming users functionality. As a temporary fix, chown vchkpw vpopmail:vchkpw and then chmod 4755 vchkpw. If that fixes it, you definitely have a daemon running as the wrong user or something similar. Using qmail-pop3d out of inetd. The following line is what I currently have: (matches the docs) pop3 stream tcp nowait.300 root /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup qmail-popup somehost.five-elements.com /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmai l/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir David

I've got a question, how do I create mail forwarding rules for say example email [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] is being forwarded to: -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] I would recommend that you install qmailadmin http://www.inter7.com/qmailadmin.html qmailadmin makes these sorts of tasks very simple Michael.

The lock file is normal. What are the permissions on the files in that directory? David
Re: [vchkpw] Spam Protection with vpopmail and qmail
We run spamassassin with vpopmail and it works great. Gonzo wrote: Hello. I have qmail with vpopmail installed. I don't know how to filter out spam mails. SpamAssassin seems to not support virtual domains and even if it would support them, how to tell procmail to filter mails for vpopmail? Gonzo
Re: [vchkpw] Spam Protection with vpopmail and qmail
Joseph Young Involved.com System Admin I have been running SA and qmail-scanner on separate server that routes the email to server. On the server,I am using the latest development qmailadmin. It have spam options included it at the user level. It pipes the email through a maildrop filter script into a IMAP folder. If you would like a copy of my script, I will post it. joe - Original Message - From: Tom Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vpopmail list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 3:04 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Spam Protection with vpopmail and qmail On Thursday, June 26, 2003, at 01:23 PM, Jeff Garvas wrote: I highly suggest installing qmail-scanner and reading the howto for using spam assassin with it.
