Hi, 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 ownership as well. But even vpopmail utilities fail to recognize the

Restricting frequency of POP3 connects

multiple messages recieved

Hy all, All my virtual e-mail account clients are complainingabout 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. I by myself got this

Re: Restricting frequency of POP3 connects

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). Think of

Re: Restricting frequency of POP3 connects

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

vadduser question!

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. Using vpopmail I want to create a virtual domain domain2.com Everything works fine for any user in the virtual domain (domain2.com). I mean I am

Password field is empty (?)

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

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

Convert FreeBSD /etc/passwd users to CDB: vconvert fail, passwd, mail?

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 *

Re: Password field is empty (?)

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

Using system's crypt() ?

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
