Re: [vchkpw] courier imap vpopmail authentification problem withsmtp
The vchkpw program from vpopmail touch the tcp.smtp.cdb file. But new versions of courier doesn't call to it. This versions uses it'w own vchkpw so it can authenticate users but not touch the tcp.smtp.cdb (at least, at the moment) Rakotomandimby (R12y) Mihamina wrote: On Mon, 2005-03-07 at 08:26 +0100, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i think it s the vpopmail who should write into it when a user log to imap no ? i think too. i think it's courrier-imap -> vpopmail -> tcp.smtp.cdb and then qmail needs to update the cdb. but as you said, nothing touched the tcp.smtp.cdb file... so...

The problem is the version of courier.

Re: [vchkpw] courier imap vpopmail authentification problem with smtp
New versions of Courier Imap do not use Auth-before SMTP. It means that you have to use another way to authenticate IMAP users for SMTP, like auth-smtp for example master wrote: - Original Message - From: "Michael Bowe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2005 11:34 AM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] courier imap vpopmail authentification problem with smtp - Original Message - From: "master" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Original Message - From: "Michael Bowe" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I have written some information on that subject > http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htm#ROAMING_USERS > > Michael. > > yes i have already see that page but i don t make it work, i have do the : What version of vpopmail ?

vpopmail and qmail installed outside /var/qmail
Hi! I have installed qmail outside /var/qmail and I see vpopmail don't work, if I create a symbolic link from /var/qmail to it, the program works. Can anybody tell me how to install vpopmail if qmail is in a different directory of /var/qmail? Thanks in advance. -- Jesús Arnáiz 0z0ne Inc I+D/IT Manager http://www.0z0ne.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: about perm
Hi! I find the problem. The config.cache file saves data about UID and GID (¿?) and vpopmail store this data in the binary file (¿?). I change the UID and GID of vpopmail in /etc/passwd thinking it read it each time. And when I see it don't work I recompile and reinstall it but this fail because I let the config.cache. I delete it, recompile and reinstall and then all work fine.
