Re: [vchkpw] Problem with latest release of vpopmail 5.3.26a
I solved it with setting the permissions for the domains in the assign file to vpopmail:vchkpw and not 89:89 as it was before but after that i got a problem saying Not_allowed_to_perform_deliveries_as_root./ I have had problems with qmail-send a while now and i´m getting realy sick and tired of it. //Tobias - Original Message - From: "Tom Collins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "vpopmail list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 9:31 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Problem with latest release of vpopmail 5.3.26a On Thursday, August 28, 2003, at 08:27 AM, Tobias wrote: > I´v got a problem with the latest release of vpopmail 5.3.26a. > I´m running the mysql setup and everything wen´t well during install. > But when i try to login with pop3 it rejects my password and i get a > -ERR > authentication failed. > In the maillog it says like this. What happens when you try 5.3.25? As mentioned in the docs, 5.3.26 is mostly a cleanup of 5.3.25. Knowing whether this problem was already present in 5.3.25 will help us isolate it.

I have been running vpopmail 5.3.16 before but i made a clean install today just wiping everything. I´ve got a mail mirror so it´s no problem. But it´s strange that when i add a domain vpopmail automaticaly adds 89:89 and not vpopmail:vchkpw but it´s the later that works I set it up today with the latest vpopmail. //Tobias - Original Message - From: "Tom Collins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "vpopmail list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2003 9:52 PM Subject: Re: [vchkpw] Problem with latest release of vpopmail 5.3.26a > On Thursday, August 28, 2003, at 12:43 PM, Tobias wrote: > > I solved it with setting the permissions for the domains in the assign > > file > > to vpopmail:vchkpw and not 89:89 as it was before but after that i got > > a > > problem saying > > Not_allowed_to_perform_deliveries_as_root./ > > What is the output of `id vpopmail`?

Like the uid and gid of the vpopmail user? Also, please test with 5.3.25 instead of 5.3.26 first, as it could help us isolate bugs. There were a LOT of code changes (and chances to introduce bugs), but no new functionality added between 5.3.25 and 5.3.26. Even better, try a clean install with 5.3.16 and make sure it's all working, and then try to upgrade to 5.3.25 or 5.3.26.

It's quite simple: if you don't know how to use your video recorder and don't want to read the manual the only recommendation is you're not using the recorder anymore. Period. Change the inetd.conf line the way Johan suggested, do a "killall -HUP inetd" and see if this solves your problem. If you're interested in a more resource sparing way of running POP3-daemon go ahead and read "Life with Qmail", scan it for the "interesting parts" for running a POP3-daemon using qmail-popup and qmail-pop3d and give the advises a try. If you don't get it to work drop a note on qmail mailing list, as this is the institution for general qmail problems, in opposite to this list which deals with vpopmail specific issues. That's all about it, take it or leave it, but don't play the foolish child that wants the other kids accept its will and laws of the game. -- Best regards Peter Palmreuther

[vchkpw] chkuser: Let chkuser kill qmail-smtpd
Hi folks, I installed chkuser beside simscan and some other updates on a high-volume mailserver. Due to the fact that simscan / clamav needs quite a lot of memory and CPU, I am looking to optimize the whole system. After intensive logging I found out, that chkuser sends something like "You are violating my security policy" when CHKUSERRCPTLIMIT and / or CHKUSER_WRONGRCPTLIMIT is reached. That's fine so far, but the other side is still sending masses of "rcpt to". This causes qmail-smtpd to stay open for a very long time until the sender finishes sending his spam. Wouldn't it make sense to let chkuser terminatie this specific qmail-smtpd instance if one of the above limits is reached? If yes, how could it be implemented? Btw: Using RBL's is no solution because most of these sessions are coming from well-known (good) ISP's. Greetings from Switzerland Tobias

IMHO not :-( qmail-smtpd is running for 40 minutes and counts up (until now) to 105 processes where the oldest one dates from one minute after startup of qmail-smtpd. Load of this Dueal-Opteron (240) is about 100. Timeoutsmtpd is set in control... Most of the started qmail-smtpd's are closed correctly, but some stay open which gives this amount... I am not 100% sure if this problem is caused by chkuser, but for me it looks like. The strange thing is, that most of these open sessions are using STARTTLS. Btw: Anybody made bad experiences with this patch ? http://www.arda.homeunix.net/store/qmail/starttls-2way-auth-20050307.patch I started with Bill Shupp's tls-auth-patch but the loead was even going much higher than now. > > > Wouldn't it make sense to let chkuser terminatie this specific > > qmail-smtpd instance if one of the above limits is reached? > > perhaps, but why?

There was somewhere a thread containing courier-authlib and AMD64 with -fPIC around in the last days. It was called "compile "vpopmail" with -fPIC on x86_64". I am not sure if these guys found a solution because on my AMD64 it works without any problems (I am using an older version) and because of this I didn't follow this thread... There is one thing which makes me thinking that the mentioned thread _could_ be the wrong one for you... This is based on one of the error-messages you posted: " /var/vpopmail/lib/libvpopmail.a: could not read symbols: Bad value" Did you already install vpopmail? IMHO courier needs some vpopmail-libraries. Because of the fact, that I installed the whole thing last time about 1 year ago, I currently don't really remember the order of installations. But maybe it's a point to have a look for... Btw: IMHO the ebuilds for qmail, vpopmail and courier provided by Gentoo aren't very good. After having some troubles while using them, I installed these thing completely by hand. Maybe you want to ask Jeremy Kitchen from Inter7 for his opinion about the mentioned ebuilds. NB: Jeremy IS using Gentoo and very deep into qmail, vpopmail and these things... Just my $ 0.05 Greetings from Switzerland Tobias
[vchkpw] spamassassin and vpopmail on ISP-cluster
Hi folks, I wanted to get up-to-date with implementing SA on qmail/vpopmail. I had a look at vpopmail 5.5.1 (because of the SA-support in it), but I currently doesn't compile. Bug-report was sent. What are possible implementations of SA on vpopmail? Currently the cluster counts about 100k mailboxes with an average of ~ 10k messages an hour. Simscan (and clamav) is already installed. Users don't have do have individual settings (would be nice, but needs IMHO too much hacking in qmailadmin). Can anybody provide success-stories or give advice which solution could fit for this installation? TIA Tobias

The only "individual-setting" I need, is to move alle messages which are marked as spam, to a subfolder on each users Maildir (let's say ".spam"). As far as I understand, spam-tagging could be done by simscan and then a script is called by each users .qmail-file which greps the mail for the tagging-result and moves it to the "right" folder. > > I know that Bill Shupp ported the SpamAssassin code from the 5.5 dev > series into 5.4.10.

Seems like Bill is doing quite a lot of work which might make "daily-business-life" easier. :-) Hope he will join this thread. What are the most important advantages / disadvantages on using vpopmails SA integration in comparison to simscan? Cheers, Tobias PS: Tom, did you see my bug-report for 5.5.1 `show_trace` on the bugtracker?

But: I am still interrested in deeper details of this setup. IMHO it is always good to see how anybody else does implement it and in most of the cases one could learn something. Maybe I need to build a whole new email-solution in the future where these "well-probed" concepts could be useful. If you don't want to post all the details on the list, leave me a message and I'll give you my private email-address. Cheers Tobias

I don't want to give it its own machine. Currently there are two identical machines running with kind of a load-balancer in front of it. Both machines are Opteron 242 with each 4 GB of RAM. IMHO this should be enough, shouldn't it? > Regards, > > Rick Cheers Tobias
