[vchkpw] "not existing recipient" but why ?
hi all not sure what i'm doing wrong but i keep getting "not existing recipient" even for good know local users. /etc/tcp.smtp 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",CHKUSER_START="ALWAYS" :allow,QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-scanner-queue",CHKUSER_START="ALWAYS" uncommented the below in chkuser_settings.h, recompiled and moved the new qmail-smtpd to /var/qmail/bin #define CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE "CHKUSER_START" #define CHKUSER_VPOPMAIL !DSPAM:48448a7f32359852712077!
[vchkpw] #define CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE "CHKUSER_START"
hi all i'm about to edit "chkuser_settings.h" to uncomment "#define CHKUSER_STARTING_VARIABLE "CHKUSER_START"" so chkuser will ALWAYS check how do i recomple qmail-smtpd only, as recommended by the chkuser documentation ? a "make setup check" as done in a LWQ install will compile the entire qmail bin tree, which i don't need to do here. !DSPAM:484391d232354837816608!
[vchkpw] "accepted any recipient for this domain"
hi all i've being looking throug the list and can see that people have been having issues with the setup of vchkpw and valid recpt lookups as the others, i'm experiencing the same problem... "accepted any recipient for this domain" unfortunately from what i gleaned from the list, i couldn't get my setup to work. can anyone point me to a document that outlines the setup with a qmail|vpopmail installation ? !DSPAM:483e3b2632351803917506!

Re: [vchkpw] verbose logging ?
the only log options are --enable-logging=OPT Log to syslog: n=nothing, e=errors only (default), y=all attempts, p=errors with passwords, v=verbose (all attempts, with passwords). --enable-log-name=TEXT Set syslog name vpopmail. --disable-auth-logging Don't record time and ip of last auth attempt.

i'm using forward as it the needs to end up in the users mailbox on the internal mail server... the qmail server is the relay,tmda,spam,av filter. in your case, your server houses the users mailbox's, my server just acts as a filter/relay for the internal mail server On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 2:08 AM, Remo Mattei <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > mine is setup for the user in this way: > > |preline -f /usr/local/tmda//bin/tmda-filter -c > /home/vpopmail/domains/.com/remo/.tm > da/config -t /home/vpopmail/domains/.com/user/.tmda/templates/ > |/etc/dspam/bin/dspam --deliver=innocent --user [EMAIL PROTECTED] --debug > --mode=teft --feature= > noise,whitelist --stdout -p -m | /home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' > /home/vpopmail/domains > /xxx.com/user > > and it works like a charm. > > maybe you should use vdelivermain instead of the forward :) > > Remo > > Sam Ami wrote: > > > our qmail relay is setup with tmda. > > > > #when user subscribes to tmda > > #/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.tld/.qmail-b:gates-default > > |preline -f /usr/local/tmda/bin/tmda-filter -c > > /home/vpopmail/domains/domain.tld/b.gates/.tmda/config > > |forward [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > #/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.tld/.qmail-default > > #when user is NOT subscribed to tmda > > |/home/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' delete > > |forward "$DEFAULT"@mail.internalserver.tld > > > > I want to delete nonexistant users email, not bounce, bounce works, > > delete doesn't > > > > > > > > > > On Fri, Apr 18, 2008 at 4:03 PM, Rick Widmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > > > > > > > Sam Ami wrote: > > > > > > > > > > it is the .qmail-default file of a vpopmail domain > > > > (/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.name.tld/.qmail-default) > > > > all i want to do is "delete" email to nonexistent domain users instead > > > > of the email getting to line two of the .qmail-default and being > > > > forwarded. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > On Fri, Apr 18, 2008 at 3:19 PM, Rick Widmer > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > > > > wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > Sam Ami wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > hi all > > > > > > > > > > > > why wouldn't this delete the email to a nonexistent local user ? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > OK then the answer is that the delete option means delete the message > > > without complaining.

hi guys my first vpopmail install so i might have overlooked something... i've setup a new domain with one user. everything looks ok, no errors, local mail routing works fine i can deliver a message to the user from root an the user gets the message however, when attempting a remote delivery, say from gmail, no mail is recieved by my server (note, I can sent to remote addresses.)

Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail on redhat 7.3 server gets very busy
Tom you hit it right. My problem is tones of doublebounces of spam from forged return and bad addresses. I do not have doublebounceto file under /var/qmail/control/ How do I set it up and what should be in it, to have doublebounces go to that file instead of [EMAIL PROTECTED] forwarding them to postmaster?

Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail on redhat 7.3 server gets very busy
I noticed that one local user which I created when I installed qmail and before installing vpopmail, was getting lots of messages from qmail under /home/user/Maildir. what do your logs say about this? (Hint: if you had some of those messages you recently deleted around, they would certainly help ;) The directory was /home/user/Maildir/new was full of thousands of messages in this format: 12345678999.16207.qmail ,S=14766 When I tried to go in the directory to read one of the messages, the computer would hang. That is why I decided to delete the directory. Now my qmail log shows: "@4000436ab0a416ec08cc new msg 116203 @4000436ab0a416ee27c4 info msg 116203: bytes 2061 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 20944 uid 507 @4000436ab0a41733b08c starting delivery 194354: msg 116203 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @4000436ab0a41734fc94 status: local 1/10 remote 14/20 @4000436ab0a417e397cc new msg 116176 @4000436ab0a417e5a724 info msg 116176: bytes 2174 from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> qp 20947 uid 501 @4000436ab0a41821c9ac starting delivery 194355: msg 116176 to local [EMAIL PROTECTED] @4000436ab0a418232554 status: local 2/10 remote 14/20 @4000436ab0a41824e68c delivery 194354: success: did_0+1+0/qp_20947/ @4000436ab0a418278a54 status: local 1/10 remote 14/20 @4000436ab0a4182a7854 end msg 116203" I do not know what the messages are about and where they are going . /var/spool/mail has nothing in it. Under vpopmail I have [EMAIL PROTECTED] The qmail.domain.com is the local machine It took the system more than one hour to delete the /home/user/Maildir/new directory and /home/user/Maildir/tmp and left /home/user/Maildir/cur. Now the server is working fine, but qmail did not recreate the "new" and "tmp" directories again. it's not supposed to. -Jeremy Ok, but why qmail was writing to that directory?

Re: [vchkpw] qmail+vpopmail on redhat 7.3 server gets very busy
Remo, I noticed that one local user which I created when I installed qmail and before installing vpopmail, was getting lots of messages from qmail under /home/user/Maildir. It took the system more than one hour to delete the /home/user/Maildir/new directory and /home/user/Maildir/tmp and left /home/user/Maildir/cur. Now the server is working fine, but qmail did not recreate the "new" and "tmp" directories again. Vpopmail and the domain accounts that I am using are installed under /home/vpopmail. Any ideas why and what qmail was doing?

[vchkpw] mail forward
Hi all, I am new to this list as well as to qmail + vpopmail I have a basic question. I have configured qmail and vpopmail on my server. Have 6 domains configured. The qmail installation is standard. In /var/qmail and vpopmail installation in /home/vpopmail parikhsteel.com is one of the domains. Now I want that all the mails to parikhsteel.com (except mails for two users on the same domain) should be forwarded to three users on the same domain. How can I do that? Please guide. Regards, Sameer.

The real problem here is that a side effect (SMTP relay authentication) > is being piggy-backed onto authentication. authdaemond is soley concerned Correct. I have said many times before that my opinion is that POP-before-SMTP and IMAP-before-SMTP approach is a hack, nothing more. This approach might have made sense 2-3 years ago, but not any more. Pretty much every mail client out there supports authenticated SMTP, and that's the right solution for this particular problem. That's what people should be doing. Authenticated SMTP is a much more reliable, and a technically sane approach. FWIW, you can still get the old authentication configuration by specifying --without-authdaemon to Courier-IMAP's configuration script. It's just that the default setting now builds authdaemon, because it's simply easier for me with everyone on the same playing field, and everyone using authdaemon. -- Sam
