[vchkpw] vmoduser -w
Title: vmoduser -w Sorry if I just haven't been able to find the answer to this. I see that vmoduser -w is already in place to "( set no web mail access flag )" but I see no references to which web mail interface this was designed to be used with. Is this just a placeholder for future use, or is there a web mail package that currently ties into this check during auth? TIA jason <>

The default is 100 simultaneous connections. Try running this... mysql -uroot -p -e 'show status;'|grep Max_used_connections If you haven't restarted MySql since the problem was last seen...and if it shows 100...then that is your problem. As a side note, I reported the fact that maxing out connections bounced mail to the devs some time ago. I think they've fixed that in more recent releases. http://www.mail-archive.com/vchkpw@inter7.com/msg19810.html

When the sending machine receives the files it will set them to 89:89 but there will be no corresponding group. I've done the exact same thing as you outline above only you have to make sure that the UID/GID numeric values are the same (ie, vpopmail=89 vchkpw=89) on both sides _before_ you do the file transfer. If you do the transfer and _then_ set the values to match you will have to "reset" the permissions as I've outlined above to make everything jive again.

Have you tried "re-chowning" the files to be truly owned by the new UID/GID? I'm just making this up as I go, so it's almost certain not to work as is...but try something like. chown 89:89 `find /home/vpopmail -user 1009` \ && chown 89:89 `find /home/vpopmail -group 1004` OR chown -R --from=1009 89 /home/vpopmail chown -R --from=:1004 :89 /home/vpopmail > I am not aware of what, but something tells me that I will > figure it out before it all is over.

Have you thought about bridging to LDAP from RADIUS? IIRC you can get a fairly standard RADIUS server out of AD. Perhaps you can get a RADIUS to LDAP bridge going. Or even a script that dumps from RADIUS into MySql. I'm not an LDAP expert, but I've always wondered if it was possible.

I'm not sure why everybody is replicating the database and mail structure when you can just export it via NFS (assuming you're on the local net) and be reading live data. As for the database, you can configure vpopmail to use any MySQL server when checking. Just have it call over to it's neighbor instead of checking itself.

I'm wanting to do the exact same thing. Vpopmail currently needs access to 1) the authentication scheme (MySQL in your case) 2) the file system (to check the ~qmail/control files and .qmail- files for aliases and catchalls) Also, keep in mind that you can set up vpopmail/chkuser to check against the primary MySQL database. There is no need to replicate it. I've been told that the Antonio wants to build client/server functionality into chkuser but hasn't been able to find the time. I for one look forward to seeing it.

I started logging to syslog and everything ran much more smoothly. Then again...I take in about 3-7 pop connections a second and don't have a beefy MySQL server.

[vchkpw] Mail gateway to reject mail to invalid users
Title: Mail gateway to reject mail to invalid users I'm having a problem and was wondering if any of you had ideas on what I could do. I have one primary mail server and one spam filtering server. My mail server runs vpopmail/mysql/chkuser. It all works very well. Right now the filtering server is accepting all mail for domains that reside on the mail server...then the mail server is rejecting the message if it is bound for an invalid account. This is causing a huge backlog of messages that can't be bounced and just sit in the queue on the filtering server until they time out. What I need to do is to find a way to set up a mail gateway that will reject messages (chkuser style) and put it in front of my spam filtering server. Since my filter is proprietary, it doesn't tie into vpopmail/mysql. The problem that I'm having right now is that chkuser accesses the domain directory directly to check for catchall accounts. Is there a way that I can set up a simple gateway that will make sure that account is valid _only using mysql calls_ before accepting the message…then forward it on to the filtering server? I do set a pw_catchall filed in the database when a catchall is set. I just haven't seen anything that will make a decision based on the contents of that field. Thanks in advance for any ideas, -jw- <>

[vchkpw] MySql load causes bounced mail
Hello all, I've searched and wasn't able to come up with an answer to this question. Though I did see a reference to it in the Bug Lists ( http://tinyurl.com/59gos ). We're hitting a wall with our MySql install and our traffic is filling up all available MySql connections. We are currently working to tune our MySql install. Until that happens, I was wondering if there was a reason that vpopmail bounces all mail with a 5xx response when it can't connect to MySql. I know that I can increase my max_connections in MySql...it just seems as if vpopmail should respond with a 4xx response so that valid mail isn't bounced. I will admit that I am using an old version of vpopmail (5.2). If this has been fixed I'll work towards an upgrade. Thanks in advance, -jw-
