Okay So I got pop3 to auth against system account password with a lightly

my $username = shift;
my $password = shift;
if($username =~/(.+)[EMAIL PROTECTED]/) {

ref($pamh = new Authen::PAM($service, $username, \my_conv_func)) ||
die Error code $pamh during PAM init!;
$res = $pamh-pam_authenticate;
exit($res);
[/Code]
And in my MailRoot/userauth/pop3 i created a '.tab' and put this inside it :
userauth[TAB]/var/MailRoot/bin/Authpam.pl[TAB]@@USER[TAB]@@PASSWD
No big deal pop3 work great. Now my problem is how could I go about getting
smtp to basicly work the same way ? (part of my problem is i don't find the
XMail docs (ReadMe) to be all that help full when it comes to this.)
XMail exmaples looks like this :
external auth-name secretprog-path arg-or-macro
So when i break down the columns I see this:
external: Write external here so that xmail knows to run a external program
/ script
auth-name : replace this with the smtp auth type cram-md5,login,plain
secret : No clue ???
prog-path : Path to the script or program
arg-or-macro : this can be @@CHALL,@@SECRT, and or @@RFILE
Basicly I've tryed everything I can think of to get this to work like the
pop3 auth. But i just can seem to grasp Somthing ?

[xmail] Threads
I know this is pretty far off topic, but why does the thread view (both in Thunderbird and the mail archive) confuse threads? At first I thought it was a Thunderbird problem, but then I noticed that the thread view on the mail archive was identical. For example, the first message in the CPU use with 1.21 is organized under the Xmail + Imap (Non-Courier) Setup message which is under the A question of deliverythread. What is up with that?

[xmail] Re: Abemus Papam ...
Portage is not specific about what you name your ebuilds, so it would be feasible to create two ebuilds, ie xmail-1.21.ebuild and xmail_chroot-1.21.ebuild. The only foreseeable problem with this is if you don't unmerge the original chrooted version before installing the new chrooted version would be that you would have two ebuilds merged onto your system. This would be a simple problem to correct, using portage's package blocker detection. ie, emerge -p xmail_chroot with xmail previously installed would return # emerge --pretend xmail_chroot These are the packages I would merge, in order Calculating dependencies ...done! [blocks B ] mail-mta/xmail (from pkg mail-mta/xmail_chroot-1.21) [ebuild N] mail-mta/xmail_chroot-1.21 Would this be a good solution? I think it can be done, then Sergey can maintain the chroot, and Kevin or whoever wants to can maintain the standard. I do, however like the Gentoo file structure, which doesn't veer too far from the documentation, merely replacing $MAIL_ROOT = /var/MailRoot with $MAIL_ROOT = /etc/xmail. I did remove the symlink into /home/xmail as that merely confused me :D Dustin C. Hatch http://www.dchweb.com Kevin Williams wrote: When I introduced the XMail Server ebuild to Gentoo, I tried to achieve the same resulting install that one would have if following the Readme.html document. This way, the documentation would match one's file system. Also, since it was new to Gentoo, I thought following the documentation would be a Good Idea. I don't prefer non-chroot over chroot. I think a chroot-ed server that doesn't match the distributed documentation is a poor choice for an audience of users who likely have never used the server before. Davide specifically addresses his choice of permissions and file locations in the documentation, and I don't believe his setup is any less secure than he claims. I also don't agree that the ebuild should do the chroot for you. Most other servers in Gentoo don't do that. That is a server setup left to the skills of dedicated administrators. I wouldn't mind having two ebuilds in Gentoo, as long as it's clear which is which. The documentation would have to be changed or appended for the chroot-ed version, too.

http://www.xmailserver.org
* Sun Jan 9 2005 Davide Libenzi davidel@xmailserver.org
Added a fix for 64 bits porting compatibility.
Added the ability to exclude filters from execution in case of
authenticated user.
By pre-pending the filter command token with a token containing !aex,
the filters
won't be run if the user authenticated himself.
Added @@USERAUTH macro even to standard in/out filters (before it was only
defined
for SMTP ones).
Added a new NoSenderBounce variable inside the SERVER.TAB file, to enable
XMail generated bounce messages to have the empty SMTP sender ('MAIL
FROM:').
Added a new SMTP-MaxErrors variable inside the SERVER.TAB file to set
the maximum
errors allowed in a single SMTP session (default zero, unlimited).
Added a LastLoginTimeDate variable to the userstat CTRL command.
Added external aliases support in the CTRL protocol.
The MESSAGE.ID file is now automatically created, if missing.
Changed the logic used to treat domain and user MAILPROC.TAB files.
Before, a user's
MAILPROC.TAB was overriding the domain one, while now the rules are merged
together,
with domain's ones first, followed by user's ones.
The maximum mailbox size of zero is now interpreted as unlimited.
Fixed XMail's sendmail to detect non-RFC822 data and handle it correctly.
The IP:PORT addresses emission in spool files (and Received: lines) has
been changed
to the form [IP]:PORT.
Added filter logging, that is enabled with the new -Qg command line option.
Fixed an error message in the SMTP server, that was triggered by the
remote client
not using the proper syntax for the MAIL FROM: and RCPT TO: commands.
Fixed explicit routing through SMTPGW.TAB file.
Fixed a possible problem with file locking that might be triggered from
CTRL commands
cfgfileget/cfgfileset.
Added a check to avoid the CTRL server to give an error when a domain
created with
older versions of XMail does not have the domain directory inside
cmdaliases.
The SMTP server FQDN variable should be set to the value of
SmtpServerDomain, when
this is used inside the SERVER.TAB file.

[xmail] SMTP External Authentication
I know, I am probably getting extremely annoying asking all these questions, but I still don't understand SMTP external authentication. I have successfully set up POP3 external authentication using PAM, but I don't know what to put in the /etc/xmail/userauth/smtp/dchweb.com.tab file. Someone said they got it working for an NT Domain Controller. Could whoever that was paste me their .tab?

[xmail] Re: SMTP External Authentication
I have one quick question, and then I think I have got it. When is the useredit called from $XMAIL_ROOT/userauth/pop3/domain.tab? What I am planning is to write a script that takes the place of the passwd program that calls CtrlClnt to change the password in xmail, which calls said file and also changes the system password. What I need to know is what invokes the useredit command in that file. Will CtrlClnt -s server -u user -p password userpass domain username password call it? If so, I think I have figured out this whole external auth thing! Thanks for all your help, Dustin C. Hatch Dustin C. Hatch wrote: I guess I never thought of that. That would work great.

[xmail] Re: PAM Authentication Perl Script
Well, I finally figured out how to make the script correctly authenticate users, but it doesn't appear to be returning the correct value to xmail. In my /etc/xmail/userauth/pop3/dchweb.com.tab file I call the script. I know the script runs, because I modified it to echo the value pam returns into a file in /tmp. If I try to log in, the file gets created and either 0 or 7 is echoed into it. Either way, xmail says access denied. I don't know much about perl, and I don't know how to control scripts' exit values, so I am not sure if the script is actually returning 0 to xmail. Anyone else use the script yet? Have you gotten it to work? Please help me out a bit here if you can. Dustin C. Hatch Kevin Williams wrote: Dustin, This script is certainly something I slapped together from the Authen::PAM docs. My Perl skills are anything but. ;) The script should return the return code from PAM, but your shell may translate that return code to another number.

I am having a problem with the Xmail server. When the server is started, I cannot login to pop3 smtp or ctrl, and I know it is running, because the top command shows it.

It causes my hard drive to be active all the time, and it is hard to use the system because of the drastic slow-down.

Yes, and there should be activity to log, I have sent messages through the server, and used XMail Administrator to access ctrl, but still no logs.
