[vchkpw] Strange Problems with Relay Table in vpopmail/mysql

[Jeff Butts]

Hi list,

I've scoured the archives over and over again, and I simply can't find an
answer to my problem...

I've installed vpopmail with --enable-mysql=y and --enable-roaming-users=y,
among other option.  I've patched tcpserver with Matt Simerson's patch.  I'm
running tcpserver from my /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-stmpd/run script with
the -S option to have it use the MySQL database for looking up IP addresses
to allow relaying.  Here's the problem!

When I log into the POP server, there are absolutely NO changes made to the
relay table of the vpopmail database.  I'm at a complete loss here, as there
are absolutely no error messages given.  I know that vpopmail works fine
with the database for other functions, as I can add new users, and
authenticate to the POP server without any problems.  But...the relay table
never gets updated.

As a side note, the lastauth table doesn't reflect the IP address I'm
POPping in from...it just shows a blank field for users who have logged in,
and 0.0.0.0 for all other users.

Does anyone have any suggestions for where to start?

Thanks in advance!

which version are you running? I was faceing this problem with version 
5.2 as well. I'm currently running 5.3.6 witch works very well with 
smtpAuth and the roaming users option as well as with Matts tcpserver 
patch. I don't know how the recent version works, but I will give it a 
try within the next days.
