Gentlemen,
Here's a thought, and a possible solution ...I quote from Qualcomm's site
for the new Qpopper 3.0 Public Beta at
http://www.eudora.com/freeware/qpop.html#BETA
"New features and bug fixes include: ...
A failure at some point in a transaction now releases all locks
explicitly...."
Although it is beta, you might want to give it a shot?

OE5's server time-out is set to 1 min. by default. That's only enough for a
couple hundred Kb mailbox on a typical modem connection.
Increase the time-out or tell the pop-up you want to continue to wait for
the server.

OK!
Do you know another POP3 server with support hash spool ?? The mail
spool of the user is located in /var/spool/mail/u/s/user.
Example: User peter -- /var/spool/mail/p/e/peter
We used CUCIPOP. But it seems does not have support hash spool mail.
Very Thanks!

I'm surprised by how many people believe this way. Why would the author of
a mail program set a limit on the amount of time you spend actively
downloading a batch of mail?
The "Server timeouts" refers to inactivity. If Outlook Express, when
attempting to connect to or is connected to a server to send or receive
mail, doesn't receive a response from the server within the time specified
in "Server timeouts", the Outlook Express pops up an error.

It does check to see if the lockfile is held by an active process and
will delete it with a warning about stale lockfiles if the process which
made the lockfile no longer exists.

Various reasons.
Eudora (v3 upwards) has "connect" and "collect" timeouts to allow a
short time to actually connect to the server vs longer periods to
collect each message.
They default to 60 seconds though. About 40% of _all_ our helpdesk calls
are people on dialins who keep timing out because their settings are at
defaults while they have a 1MB+ message to collect.

No, because it had loosen a 14 MB mailbox :-) and would like it more
stable.

Subject: Antivirus mail configuration
Hello all
I am facing some problem while installing the antivirus in our RH 5.0 mail
server. The mail software is qpopper 2.5. Hope I get some help becoz I got
information from here about the software and procedure.
My requirements are as follows:
1) I want to send an automatic reply to the sender about his infected mail
from where it has come.
2) An automatic message to my local Email user that the infected mail has
come and is sent back giving the senders email address to him.
3) Automatically clean the virus otherwise and inform my local email user
who receives it that it was infected and is cleaned.
I have made a beginning and this is what I have done.
I installed sophos eval antivirus software. Thanks to the people who posted
the information here. While compiling it gave a warning that
"CCLIENT.TAR or iclient .tar does not exist in your install directory .
Files for Intercheck clients will not be installed"
But still I was able to scan using sweep the particular directories i
mentioned(ofcourse in mailserver). The command used is
" sweep -c directoryname"
I then Installed AMaVis. It got compiled and I feel it has installed. But
for testing when I read the help it is written to make " eicar.com"
file,which is a test pattern that triggers the alert. So, I created in
windows this file and sent it as an email attachment to my email address. I
could download the mail without any problems. Can you please tell me how I
can check or is there any wrong thing I have done.
And when I downloaded sophos eval software the archive did not contain
CClient.TAR nor iclient.tar.
Where can I find the file and how I can configure the above?
All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance

Hello,
This is my first time to ever install Qpopper 2.53.
I am installing it on FreeBSD ( latest stable )
I am kinda puzzled to how to setup individual mail boxes.
I have several domains on the webserver and want 2 or 3 email addresses
webmaster & support ) for each domain( domain1.com and domain2.com)
Could someone point me to the right place to get this info. I have been
searching all weekend and I finally came across the mailing list. The
install notes didnt hit up on this topic and the search thru the engines
just throws me in circles.
All Help Is Appreciated

Try procmail as your local delivery agent. You need to re-compile
procmail with (I think) just a minor change to a header file. I've done
this and it works very well. I also hacked qpopper to merge mailboxes
in the old spool with boxes in the new layout, on the fly.
More recently, I switched to having procmail (vanilla, unmodified) deliver
into home directories (e.g., /home/f/r/fred/.mail). This makes it easy
to add disks and move directories (e.g., /home1/s/t/stan) without having
to alter qpopper or fetchmail.
Either way, be careful that procmail and qpopper use the same locking
convention ...

This should be the same on most UNIX, but this works on FreeBSD
This makes webmaster at primarydomain dot com, webmaster at domain1 dot com,
webmaster at domain2.com, support@primarydomain dot com, support at domain1 dot com,
support at domain2 dot com all equal to realname at primarydomain dot com
In
sendmail.cw file in /etc
primarydomain.com
domain1.com
domain2.com
then restart sendmail
then in aliases file /etc
webmaster: realmailname
support: realmailname
then run newaliases
all works for me.

The way we do this has nothing to do with qpopper at all...
For example, lets say you have a domain called bristolnews.com, and one
called ci.danville.va.us and you want the same mail server to accept e-mail
to webmaster at bristolnews dot com and stick it in an e-mail box, and
webmaster at ci.danville.va dot us and stick it in a different e-mail box.
We modified /etc/sendmail.cf in rule: SParse0
And added the following lines to the beginning of the rule BEFORE the
default rules that are there:
Rwebmaster < @ bristolnews . com . > $#local $: bristol
Rpostmaster < @ bristolnews . com . > $#local $: bristol
R$* < @ bristolnews . com . > $#local $: $1
Rwebmaster < @ ci . danville . va . us . > $#local $: $1
R$* < @ ci . danville . va . us . > $#local $: $1
As you can see from the rules above, messages to webmaster at bristolnews dot com,
or postmaster at bristolnews dot com actually get put into the mail box "bristol",
which is the user name of the person responsible for e-mail for these
accounts. Then anything else that gets sent to * at bristolnews dot com gets
delivered into the appropriate corresponding local mail box. This rule may
be redundant but, we like it there so that we know what is going on.
(Please note you can't simply cut and paste those rules above... there
should be a tab between the > chracter and the $... The rest are separated
with spaces.)
I don't think aliases can help you with this situation because you can't
have webmaster at anydomain dot com going to one mail box while
webmaster at someotherdomain dot com goes to some other mail box on the same server
using just the aliases feature (hence our changes to the sendmail
configuration).
Of course, sendmail is complicated, and our solution to the problem may not
be the best, or necessarily correct, but it does seem to work.

Re the statement.
I don't think aliases can help you with this situation because you can't
have webmaster at anydomain dot com going to one mail box while
webmaster at someotherdomain dot com goes to some other mail box on the same server
using just the aliases feature (hence our changes to the sendmail

I have this working on FreeBSD 2.2.8 using the sendmail.cw file and aliases
as per my previous email.
If you look in the sendmail.cf file for the sendmail.cw rule you will see
Cwlocalhost
# file containing names of hosts for which we receive email
Fw-o /etc/sendmail.cw
then the aliases just works on the username part of the email.
As I said I have it working.

You can use the new CAPA response tags and error response codes to do
more than just lie about this,
You can cause qpopper to report the minimum poll frequency through
the CAPA tag LOGIN-DELAY by using the -e login_delay=nn command-line
option.
If you patch qpopper to reject more frequent login attempts, you can
use the [LOGIN_DELAY] error response code to let them know why. Or,
to rub it in, don't use any response code but use an -ERR response to
the login. That usually causes the client to put up a dialog asking
for the password.

hosts.allow is just for accepting connections..relaying is a part of mail
after the connection is already established to port 25.
most likely you have to include your client's ips, line by line, in the
relaying allow file. On redhat i think it's /etc/mail/allow (I run
caldera)
Then rebuild the allow db and restart sendmail.
See http://www.sendmail.org for specific instructions as I dont use the
default method for doing these things.

Subject: Re: Relaying
You probably have a recent release of Sendmail, which has stronger default
anti-relay capabilities.
For more information, see:
http://www.sendmail.org/tips/relaying.html
The simplest (not always best) solution is to enable key domains to relay
through your host by adding domain names to /etc/mail/relay-domains.
You *don't* want to enable the whole Internet to relay through your
machine. That enables spammers to use your machine (CPU cycles &
bandwidth), and gets you a bad reputation -- which gets you added to
various black lists.

Okay. I am running RedHat 6.0, and am trying to install QPopper3.0
without any luck. From the README and INSTALL files, I assume that all I
have to do is:
./configure [options]
make
and everything will work like a dream. You know. Everything will be in
it's place, then I configure inetd.conf and services, and off we go.
Right?
Wrong.
I do the above, then, out of curiousity why it wasn't working, tried:
ls -la /usr/local/lib
the directory is empty. Am I supposed to move things to where they are
supposed to be? I -am- running this as root, so there shouldn't be any
permission issues.
I need help. Somebody? Probably something simple, but I am too
frustrated after nuking things a few times and trying it over and over. I
even tried using [./configure --prefix=/usr/local]. No go.

Just go to /etc/mail. If the file ip_allow is there put all your mail Ips
in it. One IP in one line. If the file is not there create it manually. The
same you can do for relay_allow in the same directory. This should solve
your problem. Dont forget to reboot the system or restart sendmail again.

1) Relaying has nothing to do with TCP wrappers.
2) Sendmail is a stand alone daemon (well it didn't used to be...but
that was a time long far away..in a galaxy far far away), so
tcp-wrappers are useless with it.
3) Relaying is all part of the files:
/etc/sendmail.cw or any other relay file that you might have included.

That depends whether you start it out of inetd (it's still capable of
this mode of operation) or compile with -DTCPWRAP flags.

I run my sendmail standalone and still use hosts.allow/deny for real

Subject: APOP problem
I recently installed qpopper 3.0b18 on a linux machine, slackware kernel
2.0. I am using Eudora (various versions) as a client. Regular user/pass
authorization works fine however APOP has problems. It appears that APOP
authorization is occuring correctly, just that the connection hangs or is
killed before mail is transferred. Below is an example of an exchange;
+OK QPOP (version 3.0b18) at machine.domain.com starting
<crypticnumbers at machine.domain dot com
APOP user crypticPW
+OK user has 1 message(s) (666 octets)
STAT
a few small packets are passed back and forth here, the new freeware
version of Eudora will hang and time out, Eudora Pro 3.02 will send a QUIT
and give "Error reading from network Cause:connection reset by remote
side (10054).
During this time the temp mailbox .user.pop is created but mail is not
transferred and so the temp mailbox remains.
As far as I can tell all permissions are properly set.
Any ideas?

OK, go here:

Grab the source RPM (SRPMS).
Install it.
Apply the patches.
Use:
./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-servermode --with-pam
(obviously servermode is optional)
Then copy the binary to /usr/sbin and configure inetd.conf.
Then do:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/inet reload
Worked for me.

Subject: limitation on the nbre of users ??
Hello,
I have a SUN Sparc server running Solaris 2.5.1 and QPOPPER version 2.53
The entry for QPOPPER on /etc/inetd.conf is the following:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/lib/popper popper -s
-d -t /var/log/pop3.log -T 240
Lately, many customers have been complaining of timeouts when popping their
mail, The email client would stay "connecting to the POP server: or logging
into POP server" . cancelling the POP session and logging again usually
solves the problem.
I have today 28000 users on the POP server. Could this problem be caused by
a limitation on the number of
users that can be handled by QPOPPER ??
In the QPOPPER log file there are many errors like follows:
Thu Sep 23 17:14:34 1999 [3974] (v2.53) Unable to get canonical name of
client, err = 0
Also in the system log (/var/adm/messages), errors that look like:
Sep 23 14:40:58 nethopper inetd[157]: accept: Protocol error
anyone has ever faced this problem ? Any other idea of what could be
causing it ???
Thank you for your feedback
Clara Hatem.

Up front, I really have no idea what Im talking about, Im a Linux and
Qpopper newbie. I did however have this exact error logging also. I
believe it is a result of qpoppers unsuccessful attempt to obtain a the
clients name doing a DNS reverse look up of thier IP address. because my
server was not on the Net and was for a small office, I solved it by adding
the IP address of my POP users in the /etc/hosts file. Your problem may
have something to do with your DNS server.
I hope this babble has made you any dumber? :)

I have around 80,000 users on a machine running Solaris 2.6 x86 and it's
not an issue.
For the resolving canonical hostnames, check to make sure that there is an
/etc/resolv.conf file with the domain name and DNS servers, and that there
is an entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf that looks up hostnames via dns or
something like this:
hosts: dns [NOTFOUND=return] files
I've found that qpopper runs much nicer when I've recompiled using
--enable servermode - but could just be my perception :)

I set the correct permissions on /etc/pop.auth as instructed.
I also changed the owner of popauth and set the SUID bit as instructed.
However, when I try to set up a user I get the following error:

The problem was in your question!
Use a test user who has a larger UID. Usually these low UIDs are for
daemons, root etc.
(My linux adds normal users starting with UIDs of 1000.)

Well, I'm thinking about something different. I'd like to have several

Hello Gavin,
I had exactly the same problem with Red Hat 5.2, and tried everything I
could think of, without any success. Then I decided to give Qpopper
3.0b18 a chance, and, to my surprise, it worked! I could add users to
the popauth database, and APOP worked flawlessly (at least with Eudora
Light 3.0.5 clients).
My only concern is that once you add a pop user to the popauth database,
you _have_ to use APOP from any mail client accessing that mailbox.
E-mail clients without APOP capabilities can no longer be used to read
the mail.

Have a look at http://www.esatclear.ie/~fergal/qpopper/ for a patch that
allows you to do this sort of thing. Basically it calls a program before it
tries to deliver a bulletin if the program exits with return code 0 then
the bulletin is delivered otherwise it's not. You just have to apply the
patch and configure with
--enable-wantsbull=/where/is/the/program
The way I use the patch is that I name the bulletins according to their
type eg 0001.newsletter.1-Sep or
0002.announce.2-Sep the program is passed the username and the name of the
bulletin (in that order). It uses these to decide what to do (it actually
checks for a file in the homedir of the user but you can have it make it's
decision any way you want),

Subject: Proper Popper Performance
Say THAT three times fast ...
We seem to be getting bogged down by the popper process. We have a fair
number of pop3 clients configured to grab email and leave a copy on our
HPUX server (D3xx, HPUX 10.20), thus creating fair sized (5 - 30+ Mb)
mail directories. It seems that when a client is retrieving its email
and it kicks-off the popper process, popper seems to take a long time and
a good chunk of CPU to go through the mail on the server to figure out
what to send to the client. Worse than that, it also creates a lock file
while it's working to prevent new emails from slipping in while it's working.
The combination of lock files and length of time popper(s) is/are running
then causes email to bounce back with a directory locked message.
Any ideas/experience ?

while it's working to prevent new emails from slipping in while it's working.
The combination of lock files and length of time popper(s) is/are running
then causes email to bounce back with a directory locked message.
Any ideas/experience ?
TIA

Subject: Resent: Qpopper3.0 Question
I'm new to the mail-list. I suspect the mail I've just sent did not get through,
so here is the re-send.
===========================
Hi,
I've downloaded the lastest release of qpopper, I created the Makefile and
compiled successfully by following the instructions included in the distribution
directories.
However, there is nowhere in the documentation mentioned how to intall the
executable and man-pages. I inspect the
Makefile in all directories, there is no target for me to do a "make install" or
similar.
1. Can you point me some directions on how to do a INSTALL after configure and
compile successfully.
2. We are using NIS on a Sun environment, how will I be able to integrate
(passwd map) in NIS instead of /etc/passwd file for pop3 user authetication.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raymond Lau

Subject: Qpopper 2.53 and RH 6.0
Hi!
Qpopper 2.53 can not run in RH6.0 ?
When I telnet localhost 110
user test1
pass test1234
qpopper told me the passwd was not correct! But test1234 is user
test1(uid 501)'s login passwd. And I did not use apop mode.
Why?
In my system, the passwd use shadow file, can it be the reason?
Thanks in advance.
