[vchkpw] Vpopmail and Global Aliases

[Ken Schweigert]

I have a qmail+vpopmail installation installed with Shupp Toaster
instructions.  Everything is working great except for one thing.
Before using vpopmail I used qmail and whenever I wanted to set up a
global alias, say for abuse@, I would just create a  dot qmail file
in /var/qmail/alias with my email address and I would get all abuse
complaints for all domains on the server.  Now since I've switched to
a vpopmail setup I get 511 sorry, no mailbox here by that name even
though there is a dot qmail file (.qmail-abuse).  It is my assumption
that this is due to the .qmail-default file that is in each domain's
directory when it is created.

How can I add this functionality back in?  I'd really hate to have to
add symlinks to the .qmail files every time I add a domain, or worse,
need to add them to every domain for any new global aliases.

Thank you.

~vpopmail/etc/defaultdomain

Place the domain in question in that file.



Thanks everyone.  That is exactly what I needed.

[vchkpw] Vpopmail With Only One Domain and POP Logins

[Ken Schweigert]

I'm migrating a client's mail server to a qmail+vpopmail setup
following the directions at http://www.shupp.org/toaster .  They had a
qmail+system-level-account setup before.

My question:  since this is the only domain that will be on the box,
is there a way to allow the users to login as just their login name as
opposed to complete email address?  This would make the migration tons
easier since I wouldn't have to go to every user's machine (over a
hundred) and walk them through changing the client settings.  If they
could still be able to login as 'sallysue' instead of
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' there wouldn't need to be any changes on their
end.

Thanks!

[vchkpw] Login With Either [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or username

[Ken Schweigert]

Similar to a question posted by Anton Butsyk on June 2nd, I would like
to know if it's possible to setup POP authentication to be either the
[EMAIL PROTECTED] OR just username.

We just migrated a client over from a Sendmail install to a
debian-3.1+netqmail-1.05+vpopmail-5.4.10 install.  vpopmail was
configured with ./configure --enable-logging=v.  There is only one
domain on the machine and I wanted to use vpopmail so we did not have
any system user accounts.

Now that everything is setup and running fine, we're finding that all
the users (300 or so) were configured to login with just username.  To
make it more complicated, the help desk has already configured a few
dozen users to login as [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So my situation is that I need users to be able to login either way. 
Is this possible?  Will recompiling with the
--enable-default-domain=domain name accomplish this?

Thanks!
