[vchkpw] Greetings, some help please?
I got it working, sort of. Went through the whole thing, fired up the new smtpd and find that while chkuser IS functioning, it's just not WORKING. I'm just running a basic qmail 1.03 install. No vpopmail, no fancy stuff. In the following text, the rcpt to [EMAIL PROTECTED] should bounce. But it doesn't. my .qmail-default for the general mail server (affecting all domains) has nothing but the string # bounce-no-mailbox' in it but it just doesn't catch. ltaica:/var/qmail.new/bin# ./qmail-smtpd 220 altaica.tigerknight.org ESMTP mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 250 ok rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote <:unknown:unknown> rcpt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : found existing recipient 250 ok rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CHKUSER rejected relaying: from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]::> remote <:unknown:unknown> rcpt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : client not allowed to relay 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts (#5.5.3 - chkuser) quit 221 altaica.tigerknight.org

No vpopmail, no fancy stuff. This is a very common problem, but you posted to the vchkpw list, which is FOR VPOPMAIL. You need to post to the qmail list for qmail-specific questions that are unrelated to vpopmail. A hint though: you probably need selective relaying. Read about tcp.smtp, SMTP-Auth, and possibly the older method of roaming users support with POP3 (check-before-send). -Bill * Waveform Technology UNIX Systems Administrator
Re: [vchkpw] Greetings, some help please?
The website listed this list as being the support location for both qmail and netqmail/vpopmail etc. so I posted here. Could you tell me where the proper list is if they are incorrect? As for relaying, I'm using pop-before-smtp and it's worked great - but how does that affect chkuser? Tib On Sat, 15 Jan 2005, Bill Wichers wrote: > > I got it working, sort of.

What do you mean by the .qmail-default for the "general mail server"? There really isn't a .qmail-default that affects all domains. Is the .qmail-default for tigerknight.org set to bounce-no-mailbox? Is tigerknight.org in /var/qmail/control/locals? If so, it isn't handled by vpopmail, and I don't know whether chkuser will identify it. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/

I don't run vpopmail, so there isn't a 'tigerknight.org' directory. Therefore any alias under /var/qmail/alias affects all domains that are accepted by the server (and there are about 4). So the .qmail-default that exists under /var/qmail/alias has been put in place and the only line is: # bounce-no-mailbox Exactly as directed in the instructions, yet it has no effect and a message gets accepted as deliverable to an address whether an account exists or not. > Is tigerknight.org in /var/qmail/control/locals?

And since this is a list for vpopmail, I'd suggest that you email Tonio directly with questions about the chkuser patch to qmail. Because many vpopmail users also use the chkuser patch, we sometimes discuss it (and its interaction with vpopmail) on the list. If you're not using vpopmail thought, I doubt any of us can be of much assistance. -- Tom Collins - [EMAIL PROTECTED] QmailAdmin: http://qmailadmin.sf.net/ Vpopmail: http://vpopmail.sf.net/ Info on the Sniffter hand-held Network Tester: http://sniffter.com/
