[vchkpw] IMAP before SMTP
I'm having a hard time getting IMAP before SMTP to work. It seems like the remote ip address is not visible to get_remote_ip() in vpopmail. I'm using qmail, vpopmail with a mysql backend and Courier-IMAP (v3.0.8). Problem: The remote ip is not inserted into the relay table. If I check the lastauth table i only get imap in the remote_ip field. Any ideas? Thanks, Nicklas B

( http://www.pipeline.com.au/staff/mbowe/isp/webmail-server.htm#ROAMING_USERS ) IMAP-before-SMTP is possible when using Courier-IMAP v3.x. However it only works when configured --with-authvchkpw --without-authdaemon. When running --without-authdaemon, Courier-IMAP's authvchkpw code is able to make use of vpopmail's roaming user functions to allow IMAP-before-SMTP functionality. IMAP-before-SMTP is not possible when Courier-IMAP has been complied --with-authdaemon, because in this mode the user's IP address is not made available to the authvchkpw code (via the TCPREMOTEIP env var). Also note that in Courier-IMAP v4.x and later, --without-authdaemon functionality is no longer available thus preventing IMAP-before-SMTP from working. Michael.

Subject: Re: [vchkpw] imap before smtp
The preauthvchkpw.c module needs to be modified.
The problem is, when a user attempts to authenticate,
if their user name exists on the system then it will
open up relay. However, at that point in the code the
user has not been authenticated. I attempted to fix
this before but became confused on which function
is called from what file. It's a bit obtuse for me.
an quick hack could be to verify the password at
that point, then open up relay on a valid password.
The real fix would be to trace the fucntions and
open up relay after password verification.
Perhaps someone could figure it out.

Bill's suggestion might not work, as he #undefs the

Go ahead and change that #undef to #define and it will work

What Ken says is correct. Simply by turning HAVE_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY on will
allow IPs to be added to open-smtp REGARDLESS of whether authentication is
successful.

Hi Tim Your updates to parse_email() that were included with vpopmail-5.3.5 is definitely the solution to the courier problem As you say, prior to your fix, the username string was not getting null terminated correctly. The incorrect null termination resulted in problems for courier-imap when running --with-authdaemon. This is because authdaemon runs persistently, rather than running once per auth request. Typically the vpopmail code isnt run in a persistent fashion. The vpopmail tools such as vchkpw (or courier-imap --without-authdaemon) only run once per auth request, so the incorrect termination issue never really caused a problem because the string buffers would always be created/initialised from scratch for each auth. But when you ran courier --with-authdaemon, the same string buffers being used over and over again, and the incorrectly terminated username field would result in auth failure as soon as a shorter username came through than the previous username.

It would be nice to let him know that the current dev version of vpopmail addresses both of his concerns. As of vpopmail 5.3.8, the buffers are cleared properly and the authdaemon has worked just fine. A beta 5.2.2 release is on SourceForge with the same fix in place. As of vpopmail 5.3.27, mysql login information is stored in an external file and libvpopmail has 644 permissions, making it possible to link it into courier-imap without having to run as root. If there are any further problems that prevent courier-imap from working with vpopmail, we'd love to hear about them (either here or via bug reports to the SourceForge project). -- 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/

Charles, I'd make your suggested change, but am concerned about Ken's further input on the topic. I don't suppose an older version of Courier-IMAP is the answer? I'm curious.. if you have clients capable of IMAP, are they not capable of SMTP-AUTH? IMO, this is a better solution than roaming users. Regards, Bill

Bill, I took a crack at your roaming users problem last night and I came
up with a solution that I'm happy with.
The basic problem is that the newer version of courierIMAP has seperated
the authentication process from the couriertcp process by using
authdaemond. So when vpopmail's open_smtp_relay function get's called it's
unable to retreive the remote user's IP address from the environment
variables. To fix this I've written a program that can be dropped in
between imaplogin and imapd. This program will only be called if the user
has been authenticated. It will call open_smtp_relay with the proper
environment variables set, then it will call whatever program is passed
into it's argv[1] parameter.
Run sh ./build to build open_relay, if the compile fails with complaints
about crypt add -lcrypt to your ~vpopmail/etc/lib_deps. Install open_relay
whereever you like, I put mine in /usr/local/bin. Modify imapd.rc, or use
the one I attached. The important line is this one:
$PORT ${exec_prefix}/sbin/imaplogin $LIBAUTHMODULES \
${exec_prefix}/bin/open_relay \ #This will setup open_relay for roaming users
${exec_prefix}/bin/imapd Maildir
Don't forget to put ~vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp into your cron!
Enjoy,
Chris

Chris,
Thanks for your efforts. This works for me. However, this workaround has a
few drawbacks that you may already be aware of:
1. If imap access is turned off (via vmoduser -i), then imap access is not
granted, but open_relay still tries to run and just leaves the open_smtp
file owned by root.root, making roaming break until permissions are changed
back.
2. If roaming is disabled for that user (via vmoduser -r), open_relay has no
way of knowing since it's separate from authvchkpw now. So they get to roam
anyway.
3. For people using multiple authentication modules (not me), anyone who is
authenticated will get roaming access.
Since we are now forced to use authdaemon (as far as I can tell, anyway),
seems like the best solution would be for imaplogin to pass the environment
to authdaemond. This would fix everything mentioned above, I think, and
perhaps similar issues for other authentication modules.
Thanks again, Chris!

Bill Shupp

This is a problem with the vpopmail.c code, IMHO it doesn't recover from hiccups as well as it should. 2,3. The real problem here is that a side effect (SMTP relay authentication) is being piggy-backed onto authentication. authdaemond is soley concerned with checking the validity of username/passwd pairs against various sources. In this sense smtp_open_relay is a bit of a hack. And I've just whipped together a hack to fix a broken hack. I'm currently looking into patching/adding SMTP AUTH over TLS/SSL with an authdaemon backend into qmail-smtp. This would be a more pragmatic solution that could fall back on smtp_open_relay for roaming users who can't do SMTP AUTH over SSL. Of course falling back on smtp_open_relay entails the weaknesses that you've described above. For imaplogin to pass all of the environment information to authdaemond would break the abstraction, and force specialized code into both imaplogin and parts of authdaemond. Now that I think about the problem some more, it would be possible to fix problems 1-3 from open_relay.c, since imaplogin sets an environment variable with the user's username/email address. I'm pretty sure this could be used to check and see if the user should have roaming access. Chris

I have said many times before that my opinion is that POP-before-SMTP and IMAP-before-SMTP approach is a hack, nothing more. This approach might have made sense 2-3 years ago, but not any more. Pretty much every mail client out there supports authenticated SMTP, and that's the right solution for this particular problem. That's what people should be doing. Authenticated SMTP is a much more reliable, and a technically sane approach. FWIW, you can still get the old authentication configuration by specifying --without-authdaemon to Courier-IMAP's configuration script. It's just that the default setting now builds authdaemon, because it's simply easier for me with everyone on the same playing field, and everyone using authdaemon. -- Sam

So, I DO in fact have the open_smtp_relay functions in the vpopmail lib. Courier's authlib/configure scripts does not detect it correctly. I fixed it by, after running configure, editing the authlib/preauthvchkpw.c and commenting out the if HAVE_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY so that it will update the relay table after any successful authentication.
