configuration...

[vchkpw] Intermittent pop3 authentication failure

[Jason Mann]

Hi folks,

I have recently built a qmail/vpopmail server for a client of mine, to handle
mail for the hundreds of domains that they host for their customers. That
said, the server is currently under a very light load as only a few domains
have been set up on it, and each domain only has a small number of mailboxes.

The server is based on the following software:

FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p13
qmail-1.03 (from FreeBSD ports)
vpopmail-5.3.28 (from FreeBSD ports)

I have the pop3 service running as follows:

/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -v -c 200 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
mail.domain.co.uk /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw \
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir

Since the server was set up, my client has been seeing intermittent pop3
authentication failures, where valid username/password pairs are not
accepted. This state usually persists for a few minutes and then clears,
allowing authentication.

Today, however, my client got a different error. When I tried to login via
pop3 using a test account, I got this error message (in Outlook Express):

-
There was a problem logging onto your mail server. Your Password was
rejected. Account: 'XX mail server', Server: 'xx.xx.xx.xx', Protocol:
POP3, Server Response: 'File busy try again later!', Port: 110, Secure(SSL):
No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
-


I had originally wondered if the auth failures were related to the vchkpw
process - perhaps the open-smtp file was too busy. This latest error seems to
reinforce my suspisions.

Can anyone make any suggestions here, either with what the problem might be,
or what to do to find out what the problem is?

I can provide additional information on the set up if it is required.

Many thanks in advance.

Jason Mann

[vchkpw] Sorry but must test something

[Werner Amon]

Sorry

Re: [vchkpw] read my mail with mozilla]]

[deny]

de

looks like some problem with your rc script.
could you paste the line where qmail-pop3d,qmail-popup and vpopmail 
are started (actually only qmail-popup is started.. but the others 
should appear in the same line)

thanks you for your help at all
i find cause of this last mail
i modify my rc.startmail like this
#!/bin/bash
export 
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/var/qmail/bin:/var/vpopmail/bin:/usr/local/bin/ezmlm:$PATH"
echo "Starting Qmail and Vpopmail daemons ..."
export QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue.pl"
/var/qmail/rc &
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -R -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -c20 -u1033 -g103 
0 smtp /usr/local/bin/recordio /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1 >/dev/null &
/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -H -R 0 pop3 /usr/local/bin/recordio 
/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup linux-pour-lesnuls.com 
/var/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir

to delete the \  just before linux-pour-lesnuls.com
and that works fine
thanks for your express and nicely help

[vchkpw] Pop3-vchkpw error

[Mihai Cuibus]

Hi,

 

I tried to find a solution on web but until now nothing worked
for me...

I have the following situation:

 

Redhat9.0+qmail+daemontools+uucspi+vpopmail.5.3.29+msql.3.23.58.

I followed the steps decribed in http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htm

 

I am trying to connect to localhost 110 with user lala &
pass lala, and the connection is closed by foreign host !

Meanwhile in the /var/log/maillog i am reading: Vchkpw-pop3:
vpopmail user not found lala@:10.0.0.223

 

User lala exists where created with vadduser the password
exists and it is correct all the information exists in mysql.

 

 

Please help,

 

Mihai

 

[vchkpw] qmail CNAME lookup failed temporarily

[Russell Mann]

Hello,

Vpopmail 5.3.27
Qmail 1.03
patch < doublebounce-trim.patch
patch < qmail-remote.diff
patch < qmail-local.diff
patch < qmail-1.03-mfcheck.3.patch
patch < nullenvsender-recipcount.patch
patch < sendmail-flagf.patch
patch < qmail-maildir++.patch
patch < qmail-queue.patch


I'm getting the CNAME lookup failed temporarily error for earthlink.net
addresses.  I've read this:

http://web.infoave.net/~dsill/lwq.html#dns-patches
--
dnscache is, as the name implies, a caching DNS server. It knows how to
handle large DNS responses and generally improves DNS lookup performance for
all services that use DNS. Because it doesn't require patching qmail, this
is by far the best solution. See the djbdns section under Related Packages
for more information.
--

Question I have is what if I don't own the DNS server?  I'm using an
/etc/resolv.conf file to point to my Colo companies DNS server.

Maybe I don't understand something?

Thanks,

Russell

Re: [vchkpw] Pop3-vchkpw error

[Michael Bowe]

Perhaps try logging in with the full email address 
rather than just the username
 
If that works, then probably the cause of your 
problem is failure to setup the ~vpopmail/etc/defaultdomain file

Re: [vchkpw] Intermittent pop3 authentication failure

[Michael Bowe]

file locking is used in several places throughout vpopmail

However the only place I have ever heard of it causing problems is inside
the roaming user functions.

Usually you would need to have a fair number of POP3 logins happening before
you run into locking problems. Perhaps consult your POP3 logs and look to
see if you are recording a high number of POP3 connections.

The problem is exacerbated when you are using CDB auth backend rather than
MySQL backend. MySQL removes some (but not all) of the file-based operations
for the roaming users code.

Michael.
