Re: [vchkpw] Domain wide quotas
Thank you for your reply, Actually i dont want domain quota's to work... its just that now if all popboxes combined hit 50MB, users get messages. I dont want that. I just want to use popbox quota's only, which are now set to 25 MB, but i dont want them influenced also by a domain wide quota somehow. My relevant confiration options were: --enable-domain-quotas=n(but i saw that this was commented out in the source, so this wont have much effect anyway) --enable-hard-quota=y In the vlimits.default file everything that might be relavant is commented out.

When mail to the old domain ceases, delete the alias and create the new domain and users, copy the maildir contents over from the old domain to the new domain and then delete the old domain.

QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/
for the sake of completeness, i ran into the same issue, but at the same
time the customer had 3 extra requests:
1) at the same time, migrate to a new server.
2) the old domain should, after 90 days, be completely gone (i.e. we
delete the dns zone, and delete it from the mail server, so the alias
domain thing was ruled out)
3) migrate from vmailmgr to vpopmail (plus a ton of other upgrades) in
the process
I created the new domain on the new box, wrote a script to migrate the
users, aliases, forwards and passwords over to the new vpopmail+mysql.
wrote another script to read the passwd.cdb file (vmailmgr) and based on
the username, rsync their maildir to the new box. I ran this with the
delete destination file if not exist type setting in rsync to avoid
delivering the same messages twice. There was a gotcha, in that
vmailmgr tree looks like domain/users/username/{cur,new,tmp} whereas
vpopmail uses domain/username/Maildir/{cur,new,tmp}. Some time later, I
had a working rsync command, and it worked like a charm. One more
vmailmgr box bites the dust! =)
the only thing i ran into was that qmailadmin is not as nice as omail )
http://omail.omnis.ch ). But we plan on coding our own, using the
vpopmaild interface in the very near future.
I wonder, are there any actively developed vpopmaild-based
shared-hosting type web gui's right now ? I haven't found any yet.

You could use OS-quotas, which should result in the message being deferred for some time in your queue and then bounced (I presume - someone correct me if I'm wrong) I haven't done this, but I had the impression that you would need to create a new group for each domain and then use group-quotas, because the directory still have to be owned by the vpopmail-user. cheers, Rainer

There's no concept of a master maildirsize file for the entire domain. They have been broken since at least 5.4.0. Probably broke somewhere in 5.3. Maybe they never worked -- I don't use them so I don't know. I also don't know much about domains owned by users other than vpopmail.

[vchkpw] Domain quota not working?
Hi, I see from the archives that domain-quota does not work. Is this true ? What's the status of that feature ? I see no mention of this in the README.quota. At least for me, it doesn't seem to work. When a user is over quota, the postmaster can lift the quota beyond the domain-quota. That's pretty pointless. I tried 5.4.3 and/or 5.4.6 Rainer

I too would like to know the same information along those lines. Are the quotas in qmail a way to control actual disk quotas on the file system, meaning I'd have to have quota support in my kernel before I use this feature, or is this just something ad-hoc that vpopmail has done at a higher level than the file system quotas?

[vchkpw] domain user scripts
FYI -
Here are two scripts (further below) I wrote as an alternative to
moving domains and users.
vmakeadddomains will read your domains and create a script to recreate
those domains to another working system. Pretty simple. It doesn't
attempt to move any domain settings.
vmakeaddusers will read all users and create a script to recreate those
users for each domain.
It only works with clear passwd set on.
It recreates the user, quota, comment and passwd. All other items are
left behind.
It doesn't move postmaster, assuming that creating the domain creates
postmaster.
For both scripts remember to chmod 755... on them and then their
outputs (I decided this was a good pause for the admin to consider what
they were going to do :-)
I did this because I'm moving a small setup to a new os install and
from MySQL to Postgres. I wanted a backup of what I had and an
alternative for the bit clunky vconvert shuffle in case of trouble ...

[vchkpw] domain limits not applying to users
On Thursday, August 28, 2003, at 07:47 AM, Steven Job wrote: I am able to set the qmailadmin limits (using the mysql version) but it doesn't seem to work the way I thought. I have set the disable_pop to 1 and the disable_webmail to 1 and the disable_relay to 1 and I don't see any difference in how it acts. The users in that domain can still receive pop mail, use webmail, and relay. Proper support for domain limits are still under development. The code exists in vpopmail 5.3.25 and 5.3.26 but has been temporarily disabled due to the following problem: If vpopmail applies domain limits onto the user's limits, and then you make any change to the user (even changing the password), the user will inherit the current domain limits. So, for example, if you temporarily add a domain limit of disable_webmail for some reason, and one of the users in the domain changes their password, they'll still have disable_webmail set even if you clear it for the domain. We're working on a solution, but we're not sure of the exact implementation. We either have to change all bits of code that check whether a user has access to do something, or change all bits of code that could modify a user's account information. My guess is that we need to change the pwd structure to have a user limits and effective limits fields, then go through an update everything that checks limits to use the effective limits field.

I too share some concerns about the inclusion of domain quotas in the current development vpopmail In hindsight I believe it would have been better to sign off on a stable vpopmail, and then the new domain quota stuff could have been added to the next development series. I wonder if it would be hard to remove or not...? Was the domain quota additions limited to just a few functions, or was it pretty much substantial changes to much of vpopmail code? Michael.

You assign a total quota to the postmaster, then, using qmailadmin, each user quota is subtracted/added from the postmaster quota. In this way you assign a domain total, and the administrator may assign user quotas within that limit. That is compliant with all (Maildir++, Courier, vpopmail, sqwebmail, etc..) and very safe. I'm using it from months, and I'ld like to see that code inside standard qmailadmin. Tonino [EMAIL PROTECTED]Interazioni di Antonio Nati http://www.interazioni.it [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[vchkpw] domain convert
Hi, Is there anyway to convert users from one domain to another in vpopmail? Faez - Original Message - From: Joshua Pruitt [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 11, 2003 12:25 PM Subject: [vchkpw] Vpopmail + Courier-imap as non-root Ok, so I'm installing qmail + vpopmail + courier-imap. Everything almost works. But I'm stuck at getting courier-imap to do SMTP-relaying via vpopmail's --roaming-users. According to the FAQ: 2. Courier-IMAP doesn't detect roaming users in the vpopmail library correctly, so force it by doing something like this just before compiling: export CFLAGS=-DHAVE_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY 3. compile courier-imap with --without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw 4. Make sure you run your imap server as the same user as your pop server (so open-smtp and tcp.smtp have the same ownership). man couriertcpd for details, but you will change /usr/lib/courier- imap/libexec/imapd.rc something like this: Change this line: /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd -address=$ADDRESS \ To: /usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd -address=$ADDRESS \ -user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw \ So I do all of this by the book. Now, courier-imap doesn't work if I add the -user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw directives to imapd.rc (as in a vpopmail user can't authenticate). According to /var/log/messages: Jul 11 00:53:33 hoss authdaemon: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied If I remove the -user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw directives from imapd.rc, of course, the vpopmail user can authenticate via imap, but simply cannot relay through SMTP. I assume that I get the s_connect() simply because the permissions to something aren't right. But I haven't a clue as to what that could be! Everything in /home/vpopmail is correct... I'm stumped. If I can't figure this out, I'll have to go back to POP (which I have successfully got to do roaming-users as per the documentation, and works perfectly), which sucks because I really want to use IMAP exclusively. Does anyone here have a courier-imap + vpopmail (+ mysql) + qmail setup working properly in this fashion? What am I missing? Thanks, -Josh
[vchkpw] domain already exists?? no it doesn't!
I'm working with vpopmail-5.3.20 attempting to create domains for a brand new mail server, and it's not playing very nice. When running the vadddomain command, I get the response that the domain already exists. When trying to run vdeldomain, I'm told there is no domain with that name. So, I deleted the vpopmail database from MySQL, flushed the tables, and re-created that a few times to no effect. I've recompiled and reinstalled vpopmail but still no luck. No domains appear in /home/vpopmail/domains but yet it still thinks they're there. Is there another database I need to delete to remove these domains rather than vpopmail or another way to convince the server that no..really..there aren't any domains and I'd like to start making some??

Re: [vchkpw] Domain quotas
When a message arrives and is delivered by vdelivermail, the quotas are enforced. It also updates the maildirsize file (and uses the maildir++ naming conventions) thereby updating the maildir++ quota usage that is shared amongst all maildir++ compatible software. From what I understand of maildir++, all the programs like the POP, IMAP, and any maildir++ compatable software should maintain the maildirsize file(s) for each folder, including INBOX, so the usage should remain the same when moving messages between folders. The usage should be restored when deleting a message. So note that vpopmail uses maildir++ quota code (ported by Bill from courier's implementation). I just extended Bill's port to include domain support in addition to user support and made the code available in the libvpopmail.a library so it can be shared. The name clashes with courier were taken care of so you can still link with the courier code. So there shouldn't be any issues and should work well with other software.

These problems must be highlighted much more, because people may think this vpopmail domain quota feature could solve all problems transparently, and this is not true. I think this feature may be a first step, but must be followed by coherent changes in other packages, before it may be used in an integrated environment. Ciao, Tonino
Re: [vchkpw] Domain quotas
I don't believe the Sent folder keeps track of any size. I looked and don't see any maildirsize files in Sent folders. So it doesn't look like it counts against either user or domain quotas. You'll have to take a look at the spec to be sure. I don't believe the Trash folder keeps track of size either. It does, I'm sure. You may disable it (for example in sqwebmail and likely courier), but if you're a provider you're going to control all the space customers are wasting (specially if they are webmail users), including Sent, Trash and additional folders. Take a look. I have IMAP customers and the Sent folders are full. No maildirsize files in there.

I think this feature may be a first step, but must be followed by coherent changes in other packages, before it may be used in an integrated environment. Ciao, Tonino I agree. For one, it doesn't take into account the overhead with directories, control files, and lots more. None of the overhead space is accounted for. As stated in the courier distribution, only soft quotas are implemented, meaning that the overhead space is ignored. Read the README.maildirquotas in the courier distribution. Anything in the Trash folder, as well as any messages Marked for deletion but not yet deleted do not count in the quota. Things in a shared folder also don't count (but if courier had a concept of domain quotas, that could come into play). The readme file doesn't mention the Sent folder, however from examining the contents, it doesn't appear to keep track of the size of that folder, nor impose quota constraints on that. I only did the domain quotas due to popular demand. I did the best I could with the available documentation and coding conventions out there implementing the maildir++ quotas. I personally recommend using system quotas, but that appears to be very difficult for some users. I tested the user/domain quotas using maildir++ quotas and it works fine, however if you have system quotas as well, they will kick in before the domain maildir++ quotas since system quotas take into account the overhead, Trash'd, and deleted but not expunged space. Even the courier readme recommends using system quotas. Brian

Re: [vchkpw] Domain quotas
Even the courier readme recommends using system quotas. But since all email files are owned by the vpopmail user that doesn't give you much flexibility if you want to implement quotas on a per-domain or per-user basis. When you create the account, use vadddomain -u username to specify the system username that you want the domain to be owned by. It will create a domains directory in the home directory of that user. You set the system quota for the username supplied. This would require one system account per domain. You could then impose domain quotas with system accounts and use the regular user quota for per user constraints. Brian

With courier and sqwebmail all folders are included except trash, unless you include it with --with-trashquota configure option. On my courier IMAP, when I see the total quota for a single user, it's included of all folders. About the rest, I agree totally with you. Ciao, Tonino
[vchkpw] *.domain
how do you like add in vpopmail? *.domain??? if i want to get the mail for all the subdomains of a domain
Re: [vchkpw] *.domain
i got lost the point here ?? is your point to make all subdomain email under 1 mail server ?? i think this is just setting up your mx in ns server and mail server configure for virtual for all subdomain and i dont think there is *.domain under vpopmail but if you change some code you may add them just with *.domain On Tue, 18 Mar 2003 00:24:34 +0100 Raboo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: how do you like add in vpopmail? *.domain??? if i want to get the mail for all the subdomains of a domain -- thx onOs

User quota works. But when I try to set domain quota on .qmailadmin-limits (default_quota X) in the ~vpopmail/domains/somedomain.com directory, it doesn't work. I set the default_quota to 100, but I did not changed the quota of the user which is 10MB. I assumed that the system looks first on the domain quota. It seems my assumption was wrong. Is there something I need to do to make it work? I just installed the programs as described on the README/INSTALL files. By the way, I'm running qmail-1.03 + vpopmail-5.2.1 + qmailadmin 1.0.11. Anybody? TIA
[vchkpw] domain problem
I installed vpopmail on a server, then moved to a new box and moved data over. 1 thing i missed was the user account, the vpopmail user was 97 on one box and is 89 on the other. I have a domain that I cannot add or delete. I changed the file permissions on the domain's folder but that didn't help. When I do a vdominfo it shows that domain as owned by the old user acount, #97. Even if I mv the folder for that domain out of the domains directory, it still shows up in vdominfo. If I use vdomdel it says that domain doesn't exist, if I try to create is, it says it's already there. Where else is virtual domain info kept? -- jake
RE: [vchkpw] domain problem
In /var/qmail/users/assign. You'll notice that the uid/gid of vpopmail is in that file, change it to the new uid/gid of the vpopmail user then run /var/qmail/bin/qmail-newu -Clayton -Original Message- From: jake [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2003 1:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [vchkpw] domain problem I installed vpopmail on a server, then moved to a new box and moved data over. 1 thing i missed was the user account, the vpopmail user was 97 on one box and is 89 on the other.
