What's happening is qmail-local hands the message off to vdelivermail (because you told it to), which looks for an account kindred-clamav (which it does not find), then an account named kindred (which it does) and then delivers to kindred. Awesome, thanks for spotting this for me. I didn't know how vdelivermail worked, and since my default option was to delete mail I figured the same syntax would work for my situation, so I just copied the .qmail-default file. No more spam!

[vchkpw] vpopmail or qmail problem?
Hey, I'm running netqmail-1.05 and vpopmail-5.4.16 on Gentoo, but I don't believe this Gentoo specific (if it is, apologies in advance). My problem is that for one of my domains I can't seem to get qmail to follow the right .qmail file. I have an account, e.g. bob, which is located in /home/vpopmail/domains/example.org/bob and I setup a .qmail-bob-default in /home/vpopmail/domains/example.org which delivers to the bob account. This lets me use any email address in the format [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it will all end up in the same account. Its perfect for one-time email addresses you need to see or emails that might get spammed (like mailing lists). So I setup one such address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] (clamav mailing list) and soon enough it started to get spam to it, so I thought i'd ditch it. Here's my problem, if I setup .qmail-bob-clamav (which will delete emails) qmail doesn't use it, it still uses .qmail-bob-default (so I still get the spam). Am I missing something obvious? I always thought -default was checked last and I can't see why its not using the exact match on .qmail-bob-clamav At first I thought it was because valias was enabled and it was using aliases/forwards in mysql, but I disabled that option and it hasn't made a difference. I've even ditched mysql options completely and it still doesn't work. Thanks in advance. Andy.
[vchkpw] Unwanted Local Delivery
Hi, Let's say you have to vpopmail domains: domaina.com, domainb.com with 2 respective email addresses: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] When A wants to email B it goes locally. Now let's suppose domainb.com has a different MX record to his company's exchange server but he forgets to delete the domainb.com from the vpopmail domains. Domaina.com will never see the MX because it thinks domainb.com is local, although it isn't. How can I force vpopmail/qmail to deliver it to the right MX instead to a local zombie domain? Thanks a lot. Andy

that there is no option to simply switch off local delivery and treat

How would I
do the script based idea below realtime based? I mean, each time an email is

to get only the domains that don't matches you should
do:
host -t MX $i | egrep

Done- will echo everything that does not include your _expression_ in its MX
record. If it has no matches, grep exits 1 and will trigger the
echo. If it matches at least one, then you're set. You can make
more complex expressions or do more tests if you'd like.

You can't.
You possibly need to write an auditing program that goes through the
domains in your rcpthosts and morercpthosts and makes a list of domains
that don't list you as an MX.

RE: [vchkpw] Unwanted Local Delivery
I am hosting a few hundred domains on that email server and people come and go. Most people who leave won't drop you a note and the domain stays in vpopmail. Even if most of you would say that it is not my fault, it is my responsibility to guarantee that the email trafic goes where it belongs to. Today someone almost killed me when he said that he's not getting any mail from our customers. I immediately knew why: 4 months (!!) ago he had his MX redirected to his homeserver (MS Exchange) and forgot to tell me that he doesn't need the mail domain. So he had a few hundred unread messages in a zombie mailbox that wasn't supposed to be there. Customers don't always accept technical reasons and that's why I am looking what I can do to make everybody happy...

It will be very difficult to do what you're trying to accomplish, with little benefit. Your server is set up to host email for a particular domain. If email for that domain is delivered to your box, then you should accept it. It can be delivered locally (someone using your server for smtp relay with pop-before-smtp or SMTP AUTH sends to the domain in question). This is the version you're trying to catch. Another SMTP server on the Internet could deliver it to you (this should only happen if you're listed as an MX host for the domain). So this one isn't a problem. Why is it so important for you to do this on your server? If you're hosting someone's email, and they move their email hosting to another provider without telling you, is it really your fault if your server still accepts their email? -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/
[vchkpw] vpopmail ldap storage
Hi, I've set up vpopmail with ldap storage and it's working great. However, I'd like it to store the domain and user information in a different distinguished name. For example, right now user information is stored in uid=john, ou=test.com,o=vpopmail How would I go about storing it in uid=john,ou=Users,ou=OxObjects,dc=example,dc=org It looks like I would have to change the source code, but it seems pretty simple. As a side note, I'm trying to integrate www.open-xchange.org into vpopmail. Thank you for your help. Andy
[vchkpw] Maildir Size
Hi, I'm using vpopmail 5.4.3 with mysql. Something that I am missing is the current maildir size of the pop3 account (vuserinfo in shell mode and vpopmail table in mysql). Also have I noticed, that vuserinfo [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not deliver any kind of current maildir size when the mail is in NOQUOTA modus. In quota modus you only see percentage, which is nice, but an additionl current maildir size would be great. For statistical reasons I would peronally like such a feature. My question: is such a feature planned for any future release? Is there already an exisiting feature available and have I just been overseeing it? Thank you. Andy

Correct me if I am wrong: If you do this in a .qmail: (one line, no line break) | script1.pl | script2.pl (here the result piped into script2.pl depends on the output of script1.pl) That's different from: (two lines, one line break) | script1.pl | script2.pl (here both deliver independent results) Correct?

[vchkpw] vdelivermail and dot-qmail in virtual user directory.
Folks, I think that the way vdelivermail handles dot-qmail files is incorrect, or I've missed something in the documentation. I have a system with --enable-qmail-ext=y, however, dot-qmail files in the virtual user's directory are not read. For example, if I create: /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.dom/andy/.qmail vdelivermail will execute the instructions in there just fine, however, if I then create: /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.dom/andy/.qmail-test It will not even consider that file and instead will execute the instructions in the original .qmail file in that directory. This seems incorrect to me. If it is going to support a .qmail file in domains/domain.dom/user, why doesn't it support extensions in that same directory? Yes, I am aware that /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.dom/.qmail-andy-test does work, but I find this less intuitive and not in line with what dot-qmail implements.

RE: [vchkpw] Spamassassin per user (MySQL)
First intersting thing would probably be the integration of .qmail files from each user into mysql and maybe even .qmail-default e.g. ~vpopmail/domain/postmaster/.qmail ~vpopmail/domain/any_user/.qmail My primary objective is getting rid of all the flat files (except the Maildir of course) Andy
RE: [vchkpw] Spamassassin per user (MySQL)
I think there is a difference between .qmail .qmail-default .qmail-aliasname .qmail files are not supported in MySQL as far as I know. It's only .qmail-aliasname that is supported (for aliases and forwards) -- see valias table in mysql .qmail files are always located in a users directory. I use .qmail (user based) and .qmail-default (domain wide) to configure the way incoming emails are being checked (with or w/o spamassassin, etc...). Unfortunatley this is still being done through shell and that's what I am trying to get rid of (hopefully totally) with a pure PHP frontend. Correct me if I'm wrong with the .qmail statement Andy
[vchkpw] Spamassassin per user (MySQL)
I combine Spamassassin with MySQL and it seems to work just fine on a domain-wide installation. My .qmail-default (for domain-wide filtering) looks like this: /usr/local/bin/spamc -f -u $EXT@$HOST | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox This is OK, but I would like to have it differently: 1. Have it user based and just using it domain-wide if the domain administrator wishes to (to reduce the overhead) 2. User based I would like to get rid of flat .qmail files and JUST use MySQL to check wether a specific user want to be filtered and if yes then get the spamfilter settings. Normally it would be quite simple to have Step 1 configured, but since I want to migrate vpopmail totally into MySQL (for different PHP Frontends and other administrative purpose) this might be a little bit more complicated. If there is no straightforward solution on that issue, is it possible to set the domain-wide spamassassin config ( /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf ) NOT to check spam by default and then override these settings per user from MySQL? In that case I could leave .qmail-default as it is and still having a user based filtering. Has anyone worked with that so far? I know that this is not the usual way to user Spamassassin but there might be people out there who have the same thoughts about MySQL ease as I. Thanks for giving clues. Andy
[vchkpw] Authentication based on alias names
Is it possible to have users authenticate using their alias names? I've scoured the net in hopes of finding some patch or hack, only to come up empty handed.

using .qmail-default to forward an entire domain to a single user
We are trying to setup qmail with qmailadmin and vpopmail to allow forwarding of an entire domain (via .qmail-default I would assume) to a single email account which does not exist on our server. We have many domains which we do this for. My original thought was to create a user say info and then setup forwarding for that account to the correct place. However when I set them as the catch-all account in qmail admin it does a delivery directly to the mailbox. Well after finding out this didn't work I tried changing qmailadmin and vpopmail to put email addresses into .qmail-default instead of direct deliveries. However again this poses a problem for the domains that actually have pop accounts on the server. It for some reason totally ignores them and delivers everything to the default account. Which then tries to deliver to itself and is returned back to the sender as having a circular loop. Is there some other way of doing this that I'm missing? If so please explain. Andy
Re: Problem with C program for Signup
Harsha- Like previously mentioned, it's a problem with permissions. Your web server is probably running as the user "nobody" and you need root permissions to add a user. The quickest and (somewhat) safe method to do this is to get the package called "sudo" and give the user "nobody" rights to run vadduser. -Andy [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Hi, I have written a C program to create a s new user on a vpopmail domain, which is run from the command line.
