By then, your system should have authenticated all your users, and you can run vconvert -c -m. Bingo, everything works fine.

This document describes an installation and configuration of TMDA for which you can assign different incoming and outgoing files, pending directories and log files to different users in the same virtual domain, so, for example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] has his own configuration file (.tmdarc-gens) and [EMAIL PROTECTED] has hers (.tmdarc-minda).

my $bad = system('/home/vpopmail/bin/vadddomain', $domain,

die $? if $bad;

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
in roqueta.com's .qmail-default, I began to get the following bounces:
This message is looping: it already has my Delivered-To line. (#5.4.6)
Here's the entire message from Splogger:

However, I don't get these bounces if I use your alternative with a *remote* address.
For example, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is successfully delivered to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The thing that surprises me is that vpopmail silently (this isn't mentioned in the
docs anywhere I can find, but correct me if I'm wrong) assumes I'll have a /tmp
directory and that it will be world writeable. I guess this is the standard Unix-style
setup, though. I guess it shows I'm pretty much a beginner, huh?
Thanks again.

Here's why I thought I was doing the right thing invoking vdelivermail (from the FAQ at http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail/FAQ): 2. How do I forward all mail that doesn't match any pop users or .qmail files for a particular domain? Edit the ~vpopmail/domains/virtual_domain/.qmail-default file and change the last parameter to an email address of the form: user@domain 3. How do I bounce all mail that doesn't match any pop users or .qmail files for a particular domain? Edit the ~vpopmail/domains/virtual_domain/.qmail-default file and change the last parameter to "bounce-no-mailbox" without the quotes. For example: # more .qmail-default | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox So, I combined the two. And, as I say, it used to work. Then I changed something I shouldn't have (??). And it didn't. And then I came here. And now it works again :))). I'm still curious to know, though, where the Can't_create_tempfile message was coming from. Thanks again.

Can't receive mail from sendmail
I have vpopmail v4.93a installed on Linux RedHat. Everything works fine when I send a mail to a virtual POP account from Eudora, at home. It also works fine when I do locally: echo to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject However, if I mail to myself from another Unix server using mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Test blah blah I get a " 550 [EMAIL PROTECTED]... relay attempt failed 550 [EMAIL PROTECTED] User unknown" message. Nothing shows up in the logs. Why would a message from Eudora succeed, but one from sendmail fail? BTW, this is the case with all the virtual domains, not just inloc.com. -- All the best (Adéu-siau), Lou Hevly [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.visca.com

Thanks, Bill I've heard Eudora (don't know what version) likes user%virtualdomain@popserver That's a 'confirm' vpop leader. At least on our setup, using all virtually subhosted domains, users can pop in for their mail from Eudora 3.06 using the following (for example, if their ./vadduser address was created as [EMAIL PROTECTED]): [EMAIL PROTECTED] Over and out. -- All the best (Adéu-siau), Lou Hevly [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.visca.com

It all works except the default domain
I'm renting a dedicated server, using qmail and vpopmail on Linux RedHat 6.2. I followed the Administration of Virtual Email Domains tutorial (http://www.inter7.com/qmail/vpopmail.html ), and everything works wonderfully *except* I can't receive mail at the domain name which is the hostname of the machine. The hostname is inloc.com. When installing qmail I got a message saying my hostname is inloc.com, but that it couldn't find the canonical DNS, so I did ./config-fast inloc.com and it used that. All users for all virtual domains work perfectly _except_ inloc.com. I can send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] locally, using .qmail-inject, but when I try to mail from another machine the message never gets there; nothing is entered in the logs. I understand this is probably more of a DNS issue, but I was hoping someone here might have run into this problem previously and be able to offer advice.

Changing ./Maildir/cur
Greetings: My email client is set to leave anything over 6 Kb on the server, then I can decide whether I want to download whatever it is or not. I notice that if I do this with vpopmail, the large message is transferred from ./Maildir/new to ./Maildir/cur. Can vpopmail be configured so that this 'overflow' directory is under the user's control? For example, instead of going to /vpopmail/domain/user/Maildir/cur, could it go to something like ~$USER/mbox? Thanks. -- All the best (Adéu-siau), Lou Hevly [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.visca.com
