Also for anyone else running qmail/vpopmail on a Gentoo system and using the SMTP-AUTH patch, a change from r13 to r15 will break your setup unless you update your USE flags. It is related to notlsbeforeauth feature. See the following posting for more details: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-339867-highlight-smtpauth.html Be warned anyone running qmail/vpopmail on Gentoo r15 is a bit of a headache when upgrading. -Dougal This is pretty much in responce to Jeffrey A Schmidt's mail called can't relay any more posted on Fri, 15 Apr 2005 17:28:34 -0700 Jeffrey, Gentoo has once again made HUGE changes to a package without informing it's users thereof before allowing the package to install. this is from the ebuild : einfo Use of vpopmail's tcp.smtp[.cdb] is also deprecated now, consider einfo using net-mail/relay-ctrl instead. incase you're wondering what this means ... from the install section: econf \ ##SNIP## --disable-tcp-rules-prog --disable-tcpserver-file --disable-roaming-users \ || die # TCPRULES for relaying is now considered obsolete, use relay-ctrl instead #--enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/bin/tcprules --enable-tcpserver-file=/etc/tcp.smtp \ #--enable-roaming-users=y --enable-relay-clear-minutes=60 \ #--disable-rebuild-tcpserver-file \ They have disabled roaming users aka relaying in vpopmail.

[vchkpw] mail quotas
Is there a command to force vpopmail to recalculate the maildirsize. We see a few cases where it is out of sync with the actual bytes and message count. Also, we see a few accounts that are over quota still are accepting mail - especially dictionary attack spams. Can the system enforce strict quotas and just not accept any mail when over quota. We had a account go over 997MB due to dictionary attacks and they had set the account as the default. TIA Best Regards, Jeff Koch,
Re: [vchkpw] mail quotas
here's my two cents on this issue... maildirsize will not reset unless you use courier pop3d or qmail-pop3d with maildir++ patch. Otherwise peoples quotas will fill up and never go down unless you run a cron to remove maildirsize for every user. - Original Message - From: Jeff Koch [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 3:37 PM Subject: [vchkpw] mail quotas Is there a command to force vpopmail to recalculate the maildirsize.

Re: [vchkpw] mail relay problems ...
clamav isn't the problem. Wait a month and your output will look like this. This happens when clamav wants you to update clamd and whatever. That's fine but the admin might not get to it as soon as it becomes outdated, but with this issue mail smtp breaks immediatly so the admin is forced to update clamav the very second the scanning engine becomes outdated. I first discovered this when I got a custom smtp rejection full of astisks **, it was the first line of clamscans output. as soon as I update clamscan simscan's smtp sessions work. - Original Message - From: Rick Macdougall [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: vchkpw@inter7.com Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 3:43 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] mail relay problems ...

Please tell me more about the qmail-tab patch. What is it ? Where to find http://www.inter7.com/?page=qmailtap It gives you greater control than stock qmail in archiving email messages. Ken Jones How do you handle BCC entries using qmail-tap? My C is limited to very basic understanding, so I see it runs some regex checks but against what? BCC is just an extra envelope recipient that isn't in the headers. qmail-tap uses the envelope information, and ignores headers. In the past when using the QUEUE_EXTRA code, I noticed I lost the envelope recipient as a variable for use($EXT and $HOST). It got changed to whatever I set up under QUEUE_EXTRA. Because of that I couldn't grab BCC emails. $SENDER was still set just fine. that will occur here as well, because this is basically an extension to the QUEUE_EXTRA code, and just adds a recipient to queued messages. -Jeremy -- Jeremy Kitchen ++ Systems Administrator ++ Inter7 Internet Technologies, Inc.

Am I way off on my understanding here? If so, is there an environment variable that stores the BCC field or are we saying the same thing only different. Currently I am migrating my logging down into my maildrop file to catch the envelope recipients due to fact that queue_extra changes what I know as the envelope recipient to log, which is set up as a an alias that runs maildrop with a special filter file. If I can do it all at once and at the queue level that would be great. My method doesn't seem to be the most efficient yet it does work.

[vchkpw] pop-before-smtp and chkuser
Hello everyone, I have a pop-before-smtp server running vpopmail 5.4.5. That server only serves clients that supply a valid login/password pair. Some clients, however, started abusing this system by sending tons of spam which gets us blacklisted in various RBL DBs. what I'm trying to do is use CHKUSER_RCPTLIMIT option to at least limit the number of emails that gets sent at once. it seems like for that I need to have the following line in tcp.smtp.cdb for every entry: RELAYCLIENT=,RBLSMTPD=,CHKUSER_RCPTLIMITsome number since vpopmail only creates RELAYCLIENT=,RBLSMTPD= - it seems like the only way is to hack vpopmail.c around line 2526. another way is to hack chkuser to hardcode some value to CHKUSER_RCPT_LIMIT_VARIABLE instead of looking at the env variable from the cdb file. which way should I go? I don't think I'll have a problem modifying either source code, since it seems like a pretty straightforward change. am I missing some other, simplier way? -- Igor

Old bug in vdelivermail -- it wouldn't do quota checks on the catchall mailbox. To force a maildirsize recalculation, just delete the maildirsize file. I have a new vdelivermail in a read-to-release 5.4.12 that I need to upload to SourceForge. I still consider it somewhat beta, but 5.4.12's vdelivermail might be more reliable than 5.4.10 (the last release before my re-write). Just FYI, I've been running 5.4.12 since Tom had me test the new changes. I've had no problems with it (yet) and I've stressed it quite a bit in testing. Regards, Rick

Ok guys .. got it all working ...
For mail-mta/qmail-1.03-r15 you need notlsbeforeauth set in make.conf
Also in your /var/qmail/control/conf-smtpd
QMAIL_SMTP_POST=${QMAIL_SMTP_CHECKPASSWORD} ${QMAIL_SMTP_POST}
Usually there is a ${QMAIL_SMTP_AUTHHOST} before CHECKPASS, but this is not
needed or it gives you a permission error
vmysql can't read settings /var/vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql

Re: [vchkpw] mail quotas
We use Bill Shupp's Toaster with qmail, vpopmail and qmailadmin. You're saying quotas won't work with this combination and just vpopmail installed?
