RE: Urgent Help, please!

[Zachary Buckholz]

This perl script creates a new user , it does NOT need to be SUID. Only a
script that created a NEW Domain would need to be suid. I have that
available if you need it. My apache runs as user vpopmail.

I am not a qualified perl programmer, so I offer no security with this
script.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use CGI ':all';

my $query = new CGI;

my $new_user = $query-param('new_user');
my $domain = $query-param('domain');
my $password = $query-param('password');

my $adduser = `/var/vpopmail/bin/vadduser $new_user\@$domain
$password`;
print header(), start_html(Done.), end_html();

Hello there,
I'm in a desperate need to write a PHP script that creates a new mailbox
with vpopmail 4.10.35
I've written everything correctly but when I use exec or system I always end
up with this error:

Error: Unable to chdir to vpopmail/domains directory

please help me it's very urgent if anybody has a clue I'll appreciate so
much.

domains / 0 directory???

[Zachary Buckholz]

I just got vpopmail-4.10.30 and compiled and installed with
./configure  --enable-roaming-users=y
--enable-tcpserver-file=/var/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp
--enable-tcprules-prog=/usr/local/bin/t
cprules --enable-default-domain=dnsfirm.com --enable-log-name=vpopmail
--enable-logging=yv --enable-relay-clear-minute
s=180

I then recompiled vpopmail.pm and I HAD TO REMOVE the old version, a make
install did not overwrite the current vpopmail.pm files on the system.

Anyways, now that I have everything upto date and working, when I add a new
user using either the vpopmail.pm or from the command line using
/var/vpopmail/vadddomain the new domain ends up under
/var/vpopmail/domains/0/domainname

Anyone else experiencing this?


+testtest24.com-:testtest24.com:89:89:/var/vpopmail/domains/0/testtest24.com

REQ for enlightenment.

[Zachary Buckholz]

Maybe I am going about this all wrong.

I work for a company that has about 30 ASP sites running on Windows 2000
with Coldfusion and a MS SQL backend.

They want to offer email hosting accounts to customers and allow the
customers to transfer domains to one of the ASP services.

Unfortunately everything MUST be done through coldfusion, that's just the
company policy.

Since I own the domain popadmin.com and have been working on a service
similar to critical path I recommended using qmail with the vpopmail
package.

So I setup qmail with the vpopmail package and configured apache to just
accept connections from a private IP for vpopmail managment. Then the
coldfusion developers can just send an http request that can be processed by
a small perl script which then calls the vpopmail functions or in this case
the vpopmail.pm perl module.

Can anyone recommend a better way of doing this?

Thanks
zack

Re: REQ for help: vcdb bug breaking format of users assign and directory structure using vpopmail.pm

[Zachary Buckholz]

The people on this list are wonderful.

I did not rebuild the vpopmail.pm module after installing the latest
vpopmail. I just went ahead and rebuilt vpopmail.pm based on Sean's
recommendation and sure enough everything is working as it should now.

Thanks
zack

 After building a new version of vpopmail, I would suggest re-installing
vpopmail.pm
 did you try that?
