I'm using an md5-based crypt() (default Slack 7.0, without des1 package),
but vpopmail (4.9.6-1) appears to be using DES encryption for its
passwords. Basically, unless Slack puts it somewhere on my system without
telling me, des-based crypt() doesn't exist on my system (before vpopmail,
at leas
The good news is that I've found cases where it works and where it
doesn't, and the only real difference is distribution versions.
The servers I was trying to install it on are Slackware 7.1, and it would
not work. That is, it would not add a password in vpasswd when creating a
user or changing
I have a site which I've just installed vpopmail on -- very very cool.
Now of course I want to move all these "system" users in /etc/passwd
out of the system and into a default virtual domain. I'll need to
* Create vpopmail users for each passwd user
* Deal with the actual crypt() passwd

That's right. You need to use 'test%domain.com'. See question 1 in the
vpopmail FAQ.

Hello,
I'm finally getting the go-ahead from up above to migrate our mail from NT
to un*x, and am using vpopmail. It works great for the ~25 domains I have
currently running on it, but now that I'm migrating rather than starting
fresh, a few of our users have "&"'s in their usernames, and vaddus
Greetings,
I am completely baffled. I am trying to set up vpopmail such that users
need only type 'username' instead of 'username%domain.com' when POPping in
to get their mail. Just like the FAQ says, I don't want any user accounts
in /etc/passwd.
I have gotten to the point where I can create
Hi guys! I am new to qmail & vpopmail. I have a computer running FreeBSD
4.2, configured as a dns & mail server. This serves the domain domain1.com.

Everything works fine for any user in the virtual domain (domain2.com). I mean

The only thing I can think of is to write a wrapper that makes/checks a
timestamp and allows/disallows access to pop.
Honestly for what its worth though this is a headache to implement, a waste
of disk/cpu resources, and is pointless as long as you can ask them to stop
and deny access if they con
dear edward,
i understand what u mean. however, pls note that its not always about
taking action and blocking access. at times, its better to restrict users
from doing something that we wud rather avoid. mine is such a case where
the users are employees and i cant simply block one of them coz he

I'm not sure why this went out to the list three times, but my
apologies. My logs show I only sent a single copy and the headers of my
copy of the outbound message only show two recipients.
Sorry 'bout that, anyway...

Hello,
I've setup user .qmail files to forward mail but it doesn't work. Wondering
what I'm doing wrong. Here is my setup:
/home/vpopmail/domains/mpingo.com
At the mpingo.com level I create a .qmail-andres.corrada file with
the single line:
&[EMAIL PROTECTED]
This has no effect on the mail
Why is easy: It keeps users from dominating all resources on a mail server
with excessive POP traffic (lets face it, POPing in every 1 or 2 minutes is
rather silly and a waste of resources. Every 5 minutes (minimum) is what I
tell my users - but I would like a way to enforce that rule).

Hi,
I would like to do this since the mail server is in my office and we have too many
users checking mail off it. Now, the users dont
really need frequent checking of emails. Unless I restrict the frequency, any kind of
anyalysis of the logs is difficult, apart from
the fact that the mail serve
Title: Re: Strage problem with VPOPMAIL
Did you install qmail from an rpm? If so, check for a cron job that rebuilds the the /var/qmail/users/assign fiie from /etc/passwd users. If you find this in cron, remove it.

Hy all,
All my virtual e-mail account clients are
complaining about recieving multiple messages sometimes. They don't recieve
the same amount of multiple messages, and not all the time. It seems to happen
"randomly". I use vpopmail to administrate my virtual
accounts.

Thanks for the reply. Regarding ownership, the VPOPMAIL entire directory is
still owned by VPOPMAIL user i checked the domains directory and individual
files in that all of them are owned by vpopmail. I will check on QMAIL
