That is where you told it to send mail received by [EMAIL PROTECTED]: add_alias [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I think he's obscuring the real domain name, but the key here is the '?' after server.com and before the final '.' - it's how qmail indicates a funky character IIRC. Why this? server.com doesn't have any MX records, so qmail can't find a host to send the message to. But it does have an A record, so if he really was trying to send to server.com, qmail should have responded with a can't establish an SMTP connection message instead. Could be the problem relate to the crlf of the telnete session? No. I agree that it's unlikely, but maybe something else is happening. But I agree that the original poster needs to provide more info, preferably without hiding anything (other than passwords), so we can diagnose it better. Also, the output of valias showing the alias, and perhaps the actual alias DB dump showing it would be helpful too...

No. Sorry Rick but the problem is crlf, the domain are only for example (on my server i have used real domain name like gmail.com), but the problem is the .qmail generated by the add_alias, infact if i run dos2unix .qmail-prova the alias works. Also if i open the same .qmail vith vim i see [DOS] for encoding.

No.
Sorry Rick but the problem is crlf, the domain are only for example (on my
server i have used real domain name like gmail.com), but the problem is
the .qmail generated by the add_alias, infact if i run dos2unix
.qmail-prova
the alias works.
Also if i open the same .qmail vith vim i see [DOS] for encoding.
Actually, looking at the code, he's right - the line in question is in
vpopmaild.c, line 1002:
if ((alias_line=strtok(NULL, \n))==NULL) {
The strtok tokenizes after the '\n' (LF), leaving the '\r' (CR) as the
last character of the alias_line, which would have the exact effect he's
seeing. Looks like the same bug exists on line 1051 as well (identical
code block in remove_alias). Every other instance of strtok() uses one of
two defines for the token list - TOKENS or PASS_TOKENS, these are the only
two strtok() calls using an explicit token list. Patch is attached.

Thank you Joshua,
with this patch now add_alias from telnet works!

Thank you both! The patch has been added to CVS, and will appear in the next release. Rick

[vchkpw] Decided to make the plunge today on late version of vpopmail
On two (low volume) machines with vpopmail interfaced with mysql as the data store, it seemed to work successfully. I updated the database schema with no issues. This is with v5.4.21 However, when I do a vdeluser on either machine, the program segfaults. On both systems. I tried various things like making sure my LDFLAGS= and CFLAGS=-O only to be sure it wasn't a compiler issue, without luck. So, to be clear, this is on two Debian Etch machines with GCC 4.1.1-15 and MySQL 5.0.32-7etch1 installed. Going back to 5.4.17 seemed to be no issue at all and of course, it works as expected. -- -- Cheers, Steve

Re: [vchkpw] Decided to make the plunge today on late version of vpopmail
On two (low volume) machines with vpopmail interfaced with mysql as the data store, it seemed to work successfully. I updated the database schema with no issues. This is with v5.4.21 Did you follow the UPGRADE document in 5.4.21 exactly and rename the 'domain' columns to 'pw_domain'? If so, then your DB is now wrong. Apparently the fix I posted about the UPGRADE document didn't make it into 5.4.21... The vpopmail table, and ONLY the vpopmail table, has a column named 'pw_domain'. Every other table should have a 'domain' column, as the earlier UPGRADE document listed (which incorrectly listed vpopmail as having a 'domain' column). The other suggestion I can make is try stracing the new version and see where it fails...

I was the one who reported the inconsistency in the upgrade document when *.20 rolled. I should have mentioned that this same thing happened to one of my test boxes when I tried *.20 but it didn't on another (which it turns out is CDB because it handles two personal domains). So *.20 likely has the problem as well, I didn't delve that deeply the first time. I straced the command and it opens a MySQL connection, does a MySQL query and then segfaults immediately. As I said, the behaviour doesn't occur in the CDB binary. -- -- Cheers, Steve
