[xmail] Re: -ERR Invalid Syntax on PASS command (POP)
Hi there! Well, if I have voice for it, I agree with many of the issues here.=20 First of all, I am the only guilt of the "-ERR Invalid Syntax on PASS command (POP)" for this case, as I didn't thoroughly read the docs..=20 Anyways, I think as a good benefit for all the logging of "I was not able to find 'the_file.tab', so quitting. RTFM XDDD!!" Personaly, I am not too keen to autocreate missing files. Or if it has to be someday that way, please, make this functionability suitable to be activated through a flag a startup (and not to be the option by default). Kind of 'system tuning up'.. Anyways I have to mention that for me it has been the easiest to setup I ever used. It is just great!!=20 Just the issue about logging, but anyways the code is so clear and clean..=20 Thanks!!! J.

[xmail] Re: -ERR Invalid Syntax on PASS command (POP)
I believe that, at startup, if xmail does not find ALL the folders it
requires, then it should do one of two things.
1. create the missing folders
Or
2. terminate after logging to the log_files/ screen/ event_log, depending on
platform and or debug mode.
Currently it.
3. continues without error and throws up seemingly un related errors that
cause you to look elsewhere for the fault.
*** I'm sending this as a feature request. ***
Thank you Davide,
Thanks,
Rob :-)

Thanks for the advice Davide!=20
So I inquired the next issue with the '-ERR Invalid auth or access
denied' error. I have inserted/edit many debug points in the source
code. I found where the problem was:
* In POP3Utils.cpp:
POP3_HANDLE UPopBuildSession(const char *pszDomain, const char
*pszUsrName,
const char *pszUsrPass, SYS_INET_ADDR const
*pPeerInfo)
{
[...]
if (pszUsrPass !=3D NULL && strcmp(pszUsrPass, pUI->pszPassword)
!=3D 0) {
ErrSetErrorCode(ERR_INVALID_PASSWORD);
UsrFreeUserInfo(pUI);
return INVALID_POP3_HANDLE;
}
printf("[POP3Utils.cpp] UPopBuildSession[1]:\n"); // I reach
this checkpoint
if (UsrPOP3Lock(pUI) < 0) {
UsrFreeUserInfo(pUI);
return INVALID_POP3_HANDLE;
}
printf("[POP3Utils.cpp] UPopBuildSession[2]:\n"); // Checkpoint
not reached [!]
[...]
}
Here clearly saw that the password validation was ok after issuing 'PASS
the_passwd' to the server. After it, was necessary to add the next
checkpoint:
* In UsrUtils.cpp:
int UsrPOP3Lock(UserInfo *pUI)
{
char szLockPath[SYS_MAX_PATH] =3D "";
UsrGetPop3LocksPath(pUI, szLockPath, sizeof(szLockPath));
=09
printf("[UsrUtils.cpp] UsrPOP3Lock[1]: szLockPath =3D %s\n",
szLockPath);
if (SysLockFile(szLockPath) < 0)
return ErrGetErrorCode();
return 0;
}
That threw straight to my eyes:
[UsrUtils.cpp] UsrPOP3Lock[1]: szLockPath =3D
/var/lib/xmail/pop3locks/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
And not, the directory 'pop3locks' didn't exist! After reviewing the
documentation, paying special attention to the "MailRoot structure"
section, I realized that still many directories were not yet created...
So, I crated the as appointed by the doc, and problem fixed! xDD
So, again, the most valuable advice once again was: read the docs
carefully! x
Only one proposal for the xmail developers: maybe to be more specific
with the '-ERR Invalid auth or access denied' message, to differentiate
whether the fail is owed to authentication or to file
creation/manipulation... ;)
Thanks!
