The assign file has all the domains that have been added via vaddaliasdomain
I only have one set of users and the other domains are aliases to domain.com
Here's what that file looks like:
+domain.com-:domain.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com:-::
+domain.eu-:domain.com:89:89:/home/vpopmail/domains/domain.com:-::
..
Removing ",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/simscan"" from tcp.smtp and doing
qmailctl cdb gives this error when sending to a legitimate user:
Remote host said: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts
(#5.5.3 - chkuser)

I have removed the mail.domain.tld from every file I could find.
Now mail is not received at all. At least now it's consistent, which
is good. No more flapping. (have to keep my sense of humor while
users can't receive any mail)
I think chkuser can be ruled out as the problem. Sending to
legitimateu...@domain.tld produces a bounce with the error listed
below (#5.1.1), while sending to nonexistentu...@domain.tld makes
chkuser kick in and reject the message as it should as soon as I type
rcpt to: badu...@domain.tld
511 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1 - chkuser)
So my conclusion is that qmail accepts the message but when it wants
to deliver it locally to the vpopmail user, something causes it to
bounce.
Can you give me any advice on how to test the path traversed by the
message once it is accepted by qmail-smtpd ?

I seem to have broken things really bad. I tried to make

Now authentication only works from time to time.
The bounce says:
<u...@domain.tld>:
Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)
Of course, that account exists.
Where are domain aliases stored? Can I manually delete a domain alias?
I'm using vpopmail 5.4.17 with users stored in a cdb file.

This most probably is not a vpopmail problem, but a chkuser one.
The support page of chkuser
(http://www.interazioni.it/opensource/chkuser/support/mailing_lists.html)
points to this mailing list, so that's why I'm posting this here.
chkuser is simply using basic qmail checks, giving a better log.
It is giving back what qmail would give back.
Check carefully qmail configuration and files availability.
nothing changed between the two events (rejecting a legitimate
message and allowing a similar one)
all files are world-readable, except the .lock files
The mail server in question runs:
netqmail 1.05
vpopmail 5.4.17
chkuser 2.0.8b
simscan 1.1
install chkuser 2.09, has more checks, new features and solves
minor bugs (not related to your question).
hard to do on a production server. I've set this one up more than
two years ago, and I remember there was a rigid order in which
patches were supposed to be applied to qmail, and some of them had
to be manually added (thinking of simscan, smtp-auth, chkuser)
It should be easy. Copy new chkuser files over old files, check
chkuser_settings.h (some have changed) and recompile.
In the meantime, I've googled a bit and found an alternative. I'll
post a "what's your experience with ... ?" message later about it.
Messages sent to existing and not overquota users on this server
randomly (as far as I can tell) are rejected with this message:
Remote host said: 553 sorry, that domain isn't in my list of
allowed rcpthosts (#5.5.3 - chkuser)
I've checked and double checked that the user exists and there
was no typo when entering the destination email address.
Sending again after a while to the same user ends up with the
message into his mailbox without any issues.
The server's /var/log/qmail/smtpd/current log file shows this
about the rejected message:
2009-07-24 12:28:19.035629500 CHKUSER rejected relaying: from
<sender's_email_address::> remote
<remote_mail_server:unknown:remote_ip> rcpt
<valid_u...@mail.domain.tld> : client not allowed to relay
The mailboxes on this machine are all respecting this pattern:
u...@domain.tld
You say general pattern is u...@domain.tld, while log says
u...@mail.domain.tld.
Are you sure 100% domain names do not include blank, DEL, strange
not visible chars? It could happen when spaces or strange
invisible characters are inside mail addresses.
Yes, the recipient mail address I've typed correctly (I
double-checked it, having faced stupid users before who think that
spaces in email adresses can't hurt that much, can they?)
Basically, i replied to a user on that server and got the bounce
back imidiately. Cursed at the binary gods for allowing
functions to return different results when fed the same input, had
to leave the office, and when i got back replied again to the same
message, checked and it arrived in the users's mailbox. The log
shows this:
2009-07-24 18:09:48.389030500 CHKUSER accepted rcpt: from
<my_email_address::> remote <my_email_server:unknown:my_ip> rcpt
<u...@domain.tld> : found existing recipient
Check if any limit is reached. Like max open files or max MySQL
connections. It could happen in a peaik moment you reach some limits.
chkuser version you have does not handle mysql refused connections,
while 2.0.9 does.
What i don't understand is why vpopmail is sometimes being asked
to authenticate /u...@domain.tld/ and sometimes
/u...@mail.domain.tld/ ?
probably some users put the wrong username in Outlook... missing
the domain part, so automatically you have the "me" file added to
address... or?
Ciao,
Tonino
Of course, possible solutions to my problem are:
1. getting rid of "mail." part completely
2. making mail.domain.tld an alias of domain.tld, so both would work
Thanks a lot for any ideeas you might have.
Regards,
Tonino
The /var/qmail/control/me file lists this: mail.domain.tld,
which is also the MX for domain.tld
/var/qmail/control/rcpthosts lists both domain.tld and
mail.domain.tld
/var/qmail/control/virtualdomains shows domain.tld
/var/qmail/control/locals shows only mail.domain.tld
/var/qmail/control/defaultdomain only shows domain.tld
What could be wrong, but most of all, why is the error occurring
only rarely (but often enough to be annoying)?
Thanks in advance for any answers you might be able to provide.
