[vchkpw] vpopmail/ezmlm problems
Hello, I'm having a problem with my qmail/vpopmail/ezmlm setup. I'm new to qmail and vpopmail, so it's hard for me to determine what the problem is. None of the lists I create (either through ezmlm-make or qmailadmin) work. When trying to send a message to the list, I just get a "Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)" bounce. qmail's users/assign file has lines for every normal user on the system, and then the line: +domain.com-:domain.com:89:89:/var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com:-:: From my understanding, this should be telling qmail to deliver to / var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com/.qmail-listname for mail sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED], but apparently it's not. Can someone help me understand what's going on, and how to fix it?

Just to make sure (as I've reinstalled vpopmail several times), I ran: # /var/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain -d /var/vpopmail/domains/domain.com \ domain.com postpass Error: domain already exists I created the list with qmailadmin, so that should have added the popbox, right?

Then I recreated the domain and added the mailing list, and it worked. Now I should be able to add my normal /etc/passwd users to the domain by: # vconvert -e -m However, it skips all the users with: user username domain domain.com did not add However, it created all their directories (and maildirs) in the domains/domain.com directory. Thanks for all your help.

Maybe it said it wasn't adding them since they were all in users/assign? Doesn't matter, qmail-inject delivers mail to domains/domain.com/username/.maildir, which is all I wanted, and mailing lists work. Thanks once again for all the suggestions and help, I appreciate it.

[vchkpw] Multi-user vpopmail/ezmlm web interface
I'm running a qmail/vpopmail/ezmlm setup with about 15 lists, all with different administrators/moderators. Qmailadmin is great for me to use, but the list moderators don't have a web interface to manage subscribers, etc. Is it possible to have qmailadmin allow other users to administrate mailing lists? Otherwise, what is the best option for such an interface? One that is in Gentoo's Portage tree would be ideal, but not strictly necessary. James Longstreet ACM @ UIC Sysadmin

Are there any docs other than the ones I found on ezmlm.org? I need to move everything over to mysql, then I'm thinking I'll start a formal project. So I guess you could construe this as a "who's with me" message. James Longstreet
Re: [vchkpw] is the dev version with enable spamassassin still available.

As I understand it (also how my setup works), the usual way is to change qmail's deliverer to qmail-scanner.pl, which works with spamassassin and clamav, among others. James Longstreet
[vchkpw] User defined .qmail files
Is there any way, with vpopmail, to have specify a .qmail file to be processed as a user? For instance: - Mail comes in for [EMAIL PROTECTED] - qmail-local delivers mail as vpopmail/vpopmail using ~vpopmail/domains/example.com/joe/.qmail - Something in vpopmail kicks in, recognizes that joe has his own .qmail file in /home/joe/.qmail, which should be processed as joe - /home/joe/.qmail processed as joe - Delivery as normal I (and my users) can modify ~vpopmail/domains/example.com/user/.qmail through qmailadmin, but they can't add | lines. Is there a sensible way to allow this? Frankly, it seems that I'm defeating the purpose of vpopmail -- I would get rid of it if it didn't mean getting rid of better control/management of lists.
