Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail and mailfilter
It CAN use maildrop (mailfilter), but doesn't out of the box. In the users home directory (or the directory where the Maildir is located), create a file called ".qmail" (that's DOT qmail) And put this inside of it: | /usr/local/bin/maildrop ./Maildir/mailfilter This will cause all mail for that user to be piped through the mailfilter. Keep in mind that any paths to maildirs, etc, in each mailfilter file will have to be modified.

Re: [vchkpw] vpopmail and mailfilter
Greg, Thanks for the information. Is it true though that if I have say /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com that I will have to make a .qmail-default in the test.com directory call the users .qmail's, or can I just simply put a .qmail in /home/vpopmail/domains/test.com/joe with: | /usr/local/bin/maildrop ./Maildir/mailfilter and have that work? My impression was that at the point we have entered the individual users directory, we are now in vdeliver and not qmail-local. I have seen scripts on the internet that show how to have a .qmail-default call maildir for each user, but it would be much more elegant if I can just have a .qmail in each users directory inside the virtual domain. brian On Jul 2, 2004, at 8:55 AM, Greg Kopp wrote: It CAN use maildrop (mailfilter), but doesn't out of the box.

In vpgsql.h there are a couple of lines that need editing: #define DB "NAME_OF_YOUR_DATABASE" #define PG_CONNECT "host=YOUR_DB_HOST_NAME user=YOUR_DB_USERNAME password=YOUR_PASSWORD dbname=" DB Although I don't think host is in there as a default. But if your database server is on a different server you will need to add that. Hope that helps. Jay Tortorelli

Re: [vchkpw] Failing logins - mysql issue?

Every POP auth will generate an update or > replace into that table. Ah. Thanks, I thought there was something, but that slipped my mind. The more I look at this, the more it looks like a resource contention issue between mysql and qmail/vpopmail. While the load is low, there are blocked processes (according to vmstat) and context switches are through the roof. I've seen this before in other qmail installs; if I understand what "context switches" are correctly, it means that the kernel is spending an inordinate amount of time juggling processes... Any hints for large sites? Anyone here running vpopmail for more than a few thousand users? It looks like a quick band-aid is to run mysql on another server.
