Re: [vchkpw] any interest in a welcome message patch?
The problem I see is you have to make sure the welcome message is delivered regardless how the account is created. The only way I could see to do that was to modify the underlying library. Ok, list newbie question. How do you guys prefer I submit a patch? Just post it here as an attachment or inline? put it someplace else? -- Yermo Trey Nolen wrote: I've been interested in this for quite a while, but it has always met a lot of resistance here.

[vchkpw] vpopmail & smtp-auth struggles
Greetings all, I have been fighting a problem with vpopmail & the smpt-auth patch for several days now and feel a little lost and beaten down. I use Netscape 7.1 to connect to my email account ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and use 'admin' as the username. I can retreive messages without difficulty. When I attempt to reply, Netscape prompts me for a password. I supply the same password I used to retreive email. After some churning, I am presented with the password dialog again. I have tried this using an SMTP username of 'admin' as well as of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and the results are identical. I also tried using Outlook Express 6, and saw similar behavior. My provider is not blocking the SMTP port--I use another SMPT server without difficulty. I patched qmail 1.03 with the SMTP auth patch 0.31 from http://members.elysium.pl/brush/qmail-smtpd-auth/. I configured vpopmail like so: ./configure --enable-logging=p \ --enable-ip-alias-domains=y \ --enable-clear-passwd=y \ --enable-mysql=y \ --enable-auth-logging=y \ --enable-mysql-logging=y \ --enable-valias=y (I have tried this with both vpopmail-5.2.1 and vpopmail-5.3.30) I have used vipmap to associate cono.org with 65.125.228.113. My supervise/qmail-smtp/run script is: #!/bin/sh SMTPDUID=`id -u vpopmail` SMTPDGID=`id -g vpopmail` exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 200 \ /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -H -R -v -p -x /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb \ -u $SMTPDUID -g $SMTPDGID 0 smtp \ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd vps1.digitalfeet.org \ /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /bin/true 2>&1 /etc/tcp.smtp contains: :allow 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" 65.125.228.113:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" The /etc/tcp.smtp.cdb is current. The qmail-smtpd log doesn't mean much to me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# tail /var/log/qmail/qmail-smtpd/current @40003fc9044e09871064 tcpserver: status: 2/40 @40003fc9044e375a6af4 tcpserver: end 28368 status 256 @40003fc9044e375ab914 tcpserver: status: 1/40 @40003fc9045004be031c tcpserver: end 28370 status 256 @40003fc9045004be4d54 tcpserver: status: 0/40 @40003fc9168a38ded0a4 tcpserver: status: 1/40 @40003fc9168a391380ec tcpserver: pid 28714 from 207.191.210.111 @40003fc9168a392cae3c tcpserver: ok 28714 cono.org:65.125.228.113:25 :207.191.210.111::4520 @40003fc9169f336d90c4 tcpserver: end 28714 status 256 @40003fc9169f336ddafc tcpserver: status: 0/40 @40003fc919462012134c tcpserver: status: 1/40 @40003fc919462afc0d1c tcpserver: pid 28743 from 207.191.210.111 @40003fc919462b16922c tcpserver: ok 28743 cono.org:65.125.228.113:25 :207.191.210.111::4549 @40003fc91950182b281c tcpserver: end 28743 status 256 @40003fc91950182b763c tcpserver: status: 0/40 @40003fc9197b2066559c tcpserver: status: 1/40 @40003fc9197b20912a74 tcpserver: pid 28747 from 207.191.210.111 @40003fc9197b20ace41c tcpserver: ok 28747 cono.org:65.125.228.113:25 :207.191.210.111::4551 The vlog table in Mysql says: vchkpw: login success [EMAIL PROTECTED]:207.191.210.111 I'd be grateful for any direction as to how to troubleshoot this problem further. My goal is to install Courier-IMAP and to have my configuration work with it as well. I understand that Courier-IMAP needs to be patched to handle --enable-ip-alias-domains=y, but I suppose that is my next hurdle since I unable even to send messages at this point.
