At least in QPOPPER2.53 I made a change that would do this. I'm sure it
could be done in 3.0. Keep in mind that this does open a potential
security hole as passwords will be printing in your syslog that someone
could spy on and allow them to guess what it is. So make sure your syslog
is only available to people who need to see it.
You must edit the pop_pass.c source code and change the declaration of the
*pwerrmsg string.
char *pwerrmsg = "Password supplied \"%s\" for \"%s\" is incorrect.";
Then you must change the actual call to the function that prints this
message into the system log file to contain the extra variable that is the
incorrect password that was entered
return (pop_msg(p,POP_FAILURE, pwerrmsg, p->pop_parm[1], p->user));
This "return" statement appears many times in pop_pass.c souce code and
only a few of them will actually apply to your system depending on if you
use shadow passwords or NIS for authentication. I think I changed about
four or five of them.
This will allow you to see what a user is entering which is handy because
so many times they will swear up and down to you they are doing it right,
but in fact might have CAPS or something else going on they just don't
know about.

Client bounced on "check mail" too many times, inetd decided that the
service was being called too often and shut it down.

Original pop3 session finally timed out or completed.
Most likely pgutana is runnign Eudora 2.x or earlier, is on a dialup and
has his message collect timeout set to 60 seconds - if each message
takes longer than that to download, eudora will abort the pop3 session.

I had a funny thing happen. A malformed mail header (I'm guessing)
caused a failured with 3.0b18 qpopper so that the .glenn.pop (my
account's temp file) turned into an exactly 1 gig file. It wasn't
actually 1 gig (df showed normal file usage). Deleting it and
retrying generated the same bug.
I went into pine, deleted the first message, and tried again - and no
problems. I wish I'd saved that message...

100,000 users at 1 MB each is 100 GB. You are going to use disk arrays
in some form. 1MB is not much disk space.
100,000 users on a single machine is under 1 cpu second per user per day.
I have 300 users.
I just did a 14 day traffic count:
For those 14 days, I had about 65 MB both in and out.
That works out to 5 MB each way per day.
Scaling that up to 100,000 users you should expect 1.5 GB each way.
Total message count was 20,000, or about 1500/day. Scaling that
you should expect 450,000/day
Set up name resolving to use the local host file before using dns.
This way, pop.whatever can be an alias for a local machine that
is in the same cluster as your modem servers.
Users have their
pop account on that server. Each local pop server cross mounts via NFS
the other pop directories. This allows someone who is connecting from
an oddball location to retrieve his mail, but it's slower.
But seriously, for that many uses, look at AFS for file distribution.

Subject: Re: Multiple Domains with the same User
It is possible to do what you are asking by running in.virtuald which
runs chrooted copies of deamons. I personally have never tried it, but
I did look at it and decide it was too bloated to have directories with
all the neccesary files in them to handle each domain (of course I host
100's, with only 2 it may be better). The easiest thing to do is to use
the virtusertable feature of sendmail to rewrite like this
pepe at domain1 dot com = domain1pepe at localdomain dot com
pepe at domain2 dot com = domain2pepe at localdomain dot com
then when you check your mail, you set your pop user name to
be either domain1pepe or domain2pepe, and set your return
address to pepe@domain1 or pepe@domain2 respectively.

I sent a patch for qpopper3.0b18 that support PAM.
Also I made an qpopper3.0b18 rpm package with PAM support.
If there is someone interested in this package I would upload

You can try sslwrap, is a wrapper. Support SPOP, SIMAP,
STELNET, SFTP, SNNTP, etc.
You need SSL support. Works fine with netscape.
You can find it on ftp.replay.com.
BTW, I updated the rpm package to sslwrap2.0.3

Subject: time-out on large email

Occasionally, users time out POPping large (~1.8M) email. What can cause
this?

Subject: Re: time-out on large email
Jerry,
there is a parameter called "pop time out" that sets the time in seconds
that takes a menssage transfer. I believe that for large messages this
restriction is been violated by your users. You can alter this option with
line argument -Txxx, where xxx is the time in seconds, or alter the source
code, see the popper.h file.
In inetd.conf, try this:
pop3 stream tcp nowait.100 root /usr/sbin/popper
popper -T1200 -s -d
Note that We set this parameter to 1200 seconds because our menssages are
limited to 3 Mbytes. With an old modem (14.400) it takes about 20 minutes
to download a 3Mbytes menssage.
I hope that this helps you.
Best Regards,

Most MTAs also have a download timeout per message.
For Eudora, the default is 60 seconds. This is nowhere near enough for
anything over about 120kB.
Eudora 2.x clients don't abort the session cleanly, leading to qpopper
still running and eventually timing out at whatever the -Txxx setting
is.

You can try:

Note that sources files includes qpopper3.0b18.tar.Z (compressed with
gunzip) of 1700kb instead 2400kb (original from Qualcomm), because
the qualcomm file include popauth compiled for sparc (not needed

Subject: [qpopper 2.53] KEEP_TEMP_DROP not working on solaris 2.5.1 ?
Hi,
I compiled a qpopper 2.53 on solaris 2.5.1 and
wanted to use the KEEP_TEMP_DROP feature to know
the last time a user has accessed his mail.
So I changed the Makefile :
CFLAGS = -DDEBUG -DKEEP_TEMP_DROP -fstrength-reduce -fpcc-struct-return
and recompiled popper.
The problem I have is that the /usr/mail/.login.pop (login = any POP login)
file gets created and always have the same dates (atime,mtime,ctime) :
it does not reflect the last time a user got his mail through POP.
Is a known bug ? How do you track for unused accounts (parsing a pop log
daily is not that "smart") ?
Any tip is welcome !
Regards,
Stephane
PS : I used gcc : 2.7.2.3 and /usr/mail is a soft link to /var/mail/ :

Assuming you haven't yet downloaded qpopper source, go to
http://www.eudora.com/free/servers.html and download the source. When you
unpack it, there's a file called INSTALL in the source directory. In it
you will find all the instructions necessary for compiling and instaling
the qpopper.

I'd never try with Solaris, because I haven't any Solaris box.
But you can can try compiling with --with-pam and define
LINUX.
It Probably works, but you must test it.

May you are using RedHat. You need install development packages
(*-devel-*). At moment I'm in slackware, but you can query your
packages whithout install. Find out about development, then
install it.

I have installed qpopper 3.0b18, and i always keep on having time to

I have a user who for several days receives his messages without
problems.
And suddenly a morning the USER cant get anymore the messages.
The pop server returns him the error "-ERR [IN-USE]
/var/spool/mail/.xxxxx.pop lock busy! Is another session active? (11)"
I delete the .xxxx.pop file, and try myself to login to the server (with
the username and the password of the specific user) and this is what
happens:
Trying xxx.xxx.xx.xx...
Connected to xxxxxxxxxx.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version 3.0b18) at xxxxxxxxx starting.
USER xxxxxxxx
+OK Password required for xxxxxxx.
PASS xxxxxxxx
And it just hangs there...occasionaly i've been lucky by replacing the
binary of qpopper, and getting it back in normal operation...
The problem cant be located in the authentication method, since the user
is able to get his messages somedays and some other days he cant...
I also noticed that this starts happening when the user enters wrong
password, or he is suddenly disconnected from the server...
Please if someoone could help i would appreciate it.

Subject: Can send but not receive...
Hi there,
I downloaded this morning Qpopper 2.53 from Qualcomm and tryed to compile
it for AIX...
First question I have for all the audience is: is it imperative to compile
the qpopper on the same machine where it is supposed to run?
The problem is that the machine where I want to use the popper doesn't
compile properly...
Anyway, I compiled the popper file on a different machine and then I ftp-ed
the popper executable (just that one) on the second machine and configured
a user with my name for test purposes...
Well what happen now is that I can send mail to outside addresses (I used
my private e-mail address) but I can't receive anything...
What I wonder is whether I need to transfer something more the just the
popper executable on my pop machine...
Has someone any hints for me?
Thanks in advance,
Fabio

Subject: Unknown command: "xsender"
Hello,
I am running qpopper 2.53 on an SGI with Mac clients running Netscape
4.5.1. My SYSLOG is flooded with the messages below. The "xsender"
message seems to appear when the client logs on for the first time (and
enters password) of the day. The "auth command" messages seems to appear
each time the users checks their mail.
Jun 8 08:01:39 5Q:oneserv popper[3356877]: mgeimer@[USERNAME]: -ERR
Unknown command: "xsender".
Jun 8 08:07:12 5Q:oneserv popper[3350320]: @[USERNAME]: -ERR Too few
arguments for the auth command.
Thanks for your thoughts...

XSENDER is non-standard Netscape extension (and command) that asks for
authenticated sender name.
AUTH is standardized extension for SASL authentication (Kerberos 4 & 5,
CRAM-MD5, etc.)

Subject: Re: Unknown command: "xsender", AUTH
Alex, Thanks for the tip. With some info from the Netscape site
(http://help.netscape.com/products/server/messaging/3x/info/smtpauth.html) I
found the fix for the AUTH and "xsender" error message.
Fix the client: on a Mac:
- Quit Netscape,
- Open the "Netscape Preferences" with a text editor (bb edit). At the end
of the file and add the line
user_pref("mail.auth_login", false);
Launch Netscape.
The preferences file will be re-sorted after Netscape runs.
The netscape document refers to the "prefs.js" file, which Mac's don't have.

60 seconds is not time to download whole message. This is "unactivity timeout"
(Eudora doesn't receive any chunk of data from server during 60 seconds).

Does anybody knows how to deny incoming mails larger than xxx Mb, but
accepts
any mail outgoing using sendmail??

I have a problem with Qpopper or sendmail.
I installed Qpopper into my /usr/local/lib directory like it says to
I put the appropriate line into my inetd.conf file and I can check the =
mail, but it asks me for my username and password.
That account works. If I send mail from my home to that account and I =
goto the office and log into the server with that account it says you =
have new mail.
But it if I go home and put the mail.hostname.com into my outlook =
express and I put the username and password it just keeps asking me for =
the password.
Is this a Qpopper problem, a sendmail problem, or a DNS problem? If =
anyone has the answer could you please respond
Thanks in advance
Ken

I disagree. I've seen Eudora time out when modem activity has been flat
out downloading a large message.
If only it _was_ an inactivity timeout. The problem wouldn't occur if
this was the case.

in sendmail.cf:
Set a maximum message size in Mlocal (or whatever delivery agent you
use).
You can duplicate existing Mxxxxx agents, set varying message sizes and
then redirect mail for specific domains through them. I do this for some
of my uucp clients to restrict inbound mail to 100kb (their request),
when the default maximum here is 10Mb
