Perhaps it would be a good idea to include the drac-patches to the
original qpopper distribution. This would prevent everybody from having
to apply the patch with every new qpopper beta...
The drac path is quite small, so it would not blow up the size of
qpopper very much.
Just my 2c.

I had the same problem when I switched from 3.0b28 to 3.0b29 last Sunday.
Everytime my users logged in, they got all the mails in their system
mailbox (on a Solaris 7 host) downloaded to their PC. So I had to go
back to 3.0b28 ...

I am having trouble with some users receiving duplicate emails. The size of

What should the timeout setting be in the config file?
Would this make a difference?

Subject: qpopper 2.53 again
I have a few questions...
1) How can I find out which options were used in configuring qpopper?
2) I have noticed a degrade of network performance which may have something
to do with qpopper 2.53, does enabling server mode increase server
performance or decrease it?
Some users save their messages on the server and some delete them from the
server after 30 days. The user base is 150 pop users. Can someone shed some
light on this please?
3) I set the timeout in the inetd.conf file for pop3 to be 60 seconds.

gives permission and a link), we'd be happy to take a look at
including it. Also, from a quick peek at it, I think it will need to
be extended to work with APOP and SCRAM as well as USER/PASS.

Yes, this is configurable using the '--enable-temp-drop-dir=path'
./configure option. Note that the default is to put the .user.pop
file in the same directory as the spool, which is the old behavior
when HOMEDIRMAIL and HASH_SPOOL are not used (which are also
defaults) So by default, nothing has changed.
If you do enable HOMEDIRMAIL or HASH_SPOOL, and want the .user.pop
files to go somewhere else, use '--enable-temp-drop-dir=path'. Note
that this may defeat the benefit of using HASH_SPOOL.

There is no sure method, I'm afraid. (It's something I'm thinking of
adding, but a better long-term goal is to replace compile-time
settings with run-time.)

Server mode may greatly increase performance, depending on user
behavior. Server mode helps a lot when a user sessions ends and all
messages are deleted, or none of them are (and no new ones have
arrived during the session). In other cases the performance is the
same as without it.

Sounds like server mode is a good idea for you.
>3) I set the timeout in the inetd.conf file for pop3 to be 60 seconds.
This may be too small, especially if users are dialed-up or otherwise
connected over slow links. You might try 180 or 300 seconds.

Subject: Futur of qpopper
Hi qpopper's users/devs,
Congratulation for your support and devlopement!!!!
I want to know what is futur devlopement for qpopper?
(new feature, doc, etc)
Do you plan to add LDAP or SQL authentification module in qpopper?
(to support large sites.)
Do you plan to use tcpserver instead of inetd (tcpwrapper)?
Tcpserver offers a concurrency limit to protect you from running out of
processes and memory. When you are handling 40 (by default) simultaneous
connections, tcpserver smoothly defers acceptance of new connections.
To know more about tcpserver (http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html)?
It's possible to configure qpopper to handle many mail users (multiple
email addresses) with separate POP3 accounts - without using system
accounts (is very usefull for virtual domain implementation)?
Thanks.

this is nice, in that we've been editing config.h manually to do
this for some time. this doesn't seem to be working as advertised in
v3.0b30. for example (solaris 5.6):
./configure --enable-temp-drop-dir=/var/spool/poptemp
and along the way it says, amongst other things:
Will NOT compile in debugging code
Temporary drop files are in: /var/spool/poptemp
System name: SunOS; System version: 5.6
and i get:
# diff config.h config.h.vanilla
119c119
< #define POP_DROP_DIR "/var/spool/poptemp"
---
> #define POP_DROP_DIR "/usr/mail"
which looks okay. but when i do a build and put the binary in place,
the temp files are NOT going to /var/spool/poptemp: i got files
created in /var/mail. running strings on the popper binary doesn't
show the string "poptemp", and it did show in previous 3.0 betas.
so: what do i have to do to relocate the temp files under beta30?

qpopper doesn't use inetd, inetd is just the most common way to make
qpopper available to the internet. If someone replaced inetd with another
daemon doing pretty much the same thing (eg tcpserver) I think qpopper
wouldn't even know the difference. It's up to users to switch to tcspserver
if they want to.

silently ignored. I suspect something similar happened here, or a module,
previously compiled without '--enable-temp-drop-dir=path' was not recompiled
once you added it. You may wish to start from scratch and try it again.
Also, QPopper Support had said:
>If you do enable HOMEDIRMAIL or HASH_SPOOL, and want the .user.pop
>files to go somewhere else, use '--enable-temp-drop-dir=path'. Note

I have found that with HASH_SPOOL set, the .pop temp files are still hashed,
rooted at the specified path.

this is nice, in that we've been editing config.h manually to do
this for some time. this doesn't seem to be working as advertised in
v3.0b30. for example (solaris 5.6):
./configure --enable-temp-drop-dir=/var/spool/poptemp
and along the way it says, amongst other things:
Will NOT compile in debugging code
Temporary drop files are in: /var/spool/poptemp
System name: SunOS; System version: 5.6
and i get:
# diff config.h config.h.vanilla
119c119
< #define POP_DROP_DIR "/var/spool/poptemp"
---
> #define POP_DROP_DIR "/usr/mail"
which looks okay. but when i do a build and put the binary in place,
the temp files are NOT going to /var/spool/poptemp: i got files
created in /var/mail. running strings on the popper binary doesn't
show the string "poptemp", and it did show in previous 3.0 betas.
so: what do i have to do to relocate the temp files under beta30?

Subject: Qpopper security bug
!Hispahack Research Team
http://hispahack.ccc.de
Program: Qpopper <= 3.0beta29 (2.53 and olders are not vulnerable)
Platform: *nix
Risk: Remote access
Author: Zhodiac <zhodiac at softhome dot net>
Date: 20/1/2000
- Problem:
===========
The, nowadays, so common qpop pop3 server is one of the best server
which implements some features added not in normal pop3d. Like almost all
software it has some security bugs. In this case, once you pass the
login process you can execute malicious code due to a buffer overflow.
With this buffer overflow (second argument of the LIST command) you
can execute malicious code with the uid of the user you logged in, and
with gid mail. Due to have gid mail, in some systems you can read all the
mail of other users and even change/delete it.
- Exploit:
==========
For proof of vulnerability we release the Linux x86 xploit. But be
aware, no public xploit for your system does not mean you can't be
hacked. Vulnerability exists, fix it!

If you are concerned about buffer overflows, why are you still using
2.53? ;-)
D'ya'think this could be one of the reasons that b30 was released so
quickly? ;-)

I'm running qpopper (the latest stable release) on a clustered system

now everytime I go to get my mail, I get all the messages, and it seems
to not notice if I've read the message or not.. the only solution thus

Why would this occur? What would be the best resolution?

yesterday's attempt was taken after a "make realclean", but today i
started from scratch: i unpacked the tar file and did (solaris 5.6,
gcc 2.8.1):
./configure --enable-temp-drop-dir=/var/spool/poptemp
make
config.h had the following in it:
/* Define for the temporary mail drop directory */
#define POP_DROP_DIR "/var/spool/poptemp"
/* Define for the temporary mail drop file name */
#define POP_DROP ".%s.pop"
so it _looked_ okay, but it did yesterday. i put the popper binary
in production, and within 5 minutes had 500 .user.pop files in
/var/mail. the last version i build (b28) i did this by
hand by editing config.h and it worked flawlessly. what's
happening here?

It appears that POP_DROP_DIR is *not* used in genpath() (common/genpath.c)
when there is no HASHing. My system uses HASH_SPOOL 2 so I had no problem.
This should be a simple fix.

yesterday's attempt was taken after a "make realclean", but today i
started from scratch: i unpacked the tar file and did (solaris 5.6,
gcc 2.8.1):
./configure --enable-temp-drop-dir=/var/spool/poptemp
make
config.h had the following in it:
/* Define for the temporary mail drop directory */
#define POP_DROP_DIR "/var/spool/poptemp"
/* Define for the temporary mail drop file name */
#define POP_DROP ".%s.pop"
so it _looked_ okay, but it did yesterday. i put the popper binary
in production, and within 5 minutes had 500 .user.pop files in
/var/mail. the last version i build (b28) i did this by
hand by editing config.h and it worked flawlessly. what's
happening here?

Hi,
we are currently running our qpopper for about 1000+ pop3 accounts on a
rather smallish
machine.
Now the question arises how far scalable qpopper is.
What do I have to do to serve several 10000 users. (I assume authorization
via
the unix-password isn¥t such a good idea).
Furhtermore access to the mailboxes in a single directory could become a
problem.
Is there external authorisation support (like a radius mechanism), which
could
be used for authorization?
Is there some kind of databaselike structuring vor Mailaccounts?
any help welcome
kind regards
C. Martin

Um, are there known buffer overflows in 2.53?
http://www.eudora.com/freeware/qpop.html says:
Some versions of Qpopper are prone to buffer overrun. Remote users can
exploit this bug and obtain root access. If you are using Qpopper 2.41
or older, or Qpopper 3.0 beta 21 or older, please upgrade to the
_latest_version_.
where _latest_version_ points to text that says:
The latest official release of qpopper is 2.53. Version 3.0 is
currently in public beta.
Seems to me it's the betas that are worrisome, with 2.53 being acknowledged
as having no known security holes.

have a look at http://www.netd.co.za/mysql-mail/
it is authentication via a mysql db. perfect if you're using exim.

There is supposedly qpopper support with MySql as the back end.. I don't
have the url
off the top of my head but if you search for qpopper and mysql I'm sure
you'll find it.

The best web-and-mail client we use is the Netscape family of products.
Navigator works fine for Web. Messenger works fine for POP3/IMAP/SMTP
e-mail.
Eudora is a good non-web-based e-mail client. It does have a graphical
user interface (GUI).
I hope I have interpreted your question correctly. Qpopper is itself a
mail server, so that it works with a mail client, not another server.

NAME
ippl - IP Protocols Logger
SYNOPSIS
ippl [-hn] [-c file-name] [--help] [--nodaemon] [--config file-name]
DESCRIPTION
ippl is an IP protocols logger. It logs incoming TCP connections,
UDP datagrams and ICMP
packets sent to a host.
ippl is based on the well-known iplogger written by Mike Edulla.
The main drawback of
iplogger is that it is not (easily) configurable. ippl has been
written keeping in mind
that it should be extremely configurable and it should be easy to
extend its logging capa<AD>
bilities.
You should be able to get the rpm from rpmfind.net

Phil

packaging the qpopper 3 betas, and I'm considering moving its few /etc

Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2000 00:18:28 -0500
I have been using QPopper faithfully since 2.53, and have now joined the
mailing list because I'm having some difficulty with 3.0b30+...
To start with, I run Slackware Linux 4.0, with QMail delivering mail into
/home/$USER/Mailbox. I have recently upgraded from QPopper 3.0b26 to b30.
I like what has been done with specifying --enable-home-dir-mail in the
configure script, however it doesn't work :) I pass the following:
./configure --enable-specialauth --enable-home-dir-mail=Mailbox
and get as a result in the config.h file:
#define HOMEDIRMAIL $homedirmail
which causes a compile-time error with genpath.c. After much rooting around
I replaced $homedirmail in config.h with "Mailbox" and got QPopper to
compile just fine with b30. I notice that this problem has probably not
been brought to anyone's attention for b31, because the above is still
placed in the config.h file. Now wth b31 the same trick (replacing
$homedirmail with "Mailbox") no longer works. I get compile time errors
with genpath.c yet again.
I aspire to be able to offer some higher level of insight into this problem
tomorow, however I'm quite tired right now and know for a fact that this
message is probably hard to read.. My most sincere apologies in advance :)
For now, I hope this helps clear up some bugs.
Thanks for any insight you can offer.

I just repackaged it as an RPM and uploaded it to incoming.redhat.com.
It should appear on the contrib site in a couple days. Watch
http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/qpopper.html, where it should be listed
shortly thereafter. (I uploaded b30 last night, so that may appear
slightly earlier.)

I got into the same trouble ! It seems that in b29 and b30 versions, the command 'last' always return 0 ! So, even if a mail is marked as Status:RO, it will be retrieved on every pop session.
I downgraded to version 3.0b28, which is correct. :-(
