Subject: ERR in my maillog script when trying to connect
All,
I get the following error when I try to connect to my pop server.
-ERR You must use stronger authentication such as AUTH SCRAM-MD5 or APOP
to connect to this server
This is from the syslog facility I have set up for mail.
I am running Solaris 8
I used the following options on the configure script
--enable-apop=/usr/local/etc/pop.auth --enable-shy --enable-log-login
--enable-specialauth --with-popuid=pop --with-log-facility=LOG_MAIL
I have also compiled it without the apop enabled and it works
beautifully. The problem of course is that the password are sent in
clear text and I need to have those maksed.
Any help or advice that you can give me would be great.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Subject: Re: ERR in my maillog script when trying to connect
Sounds to me like your pop server is working fine in APOP mode but
your pop client is working in POP mode. If you set your pop client
to use APOP, that should clear up the problem. Alternatively, don't
use popauth to control access for those users that want to use POP;
only use popauth to control access for those wanting to use APOP
authentication. In this way, you can have a mix of POP and APOP
users. The passwords for the POP users would then be whatever the
password is for their Unix logins (i.e. whatever's in the /etc/passwd
file).

Subject: Re: ERR in my maillog script when trying to connect
That is what I came up with as well. The problem is that I am using Netscape 4.75
and according to Netscape support their product supports apop and has for a while.
They said that there is no specific function that needs to be turned on to make
this work.
Thanks for all the help though, any other ideas I would be willing to try.

Subject: Overquota error
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2000 19:05:58 -0700
From: "Nathan Martinez" <nathanm at aaesys dot com>
I was getting errors when a user tried to pick up their mail and they were
over their quota. I figured out that this was due to Qpopper needing to
make a copy of the spool file and there not being enough room within the
users limits. So I enabled server mode so that it would not make this copy.
Unfortunately I was not thinking about how it still has to write a lock file
before it checks the spool file. So, basically, when one of my users
completely fills up their quota, they can not check their mail. These are
POP only accounts. How do people deal with this situation. There must be a
common fix as disk quotas are not uncommon. Any help or reference links
would be more than appreciated. Thanks a lot.

I'd configure qpopper to make the copy in another directory
outside the quota'd partition.
Better than fighting with the quota system head on.

I'm having the same problem. According to the docs it is not suppose to
copy the files over in server mode, but it still does.

Are you running the portmapper service? I'd guess not. You don't say
what OS/distro you're on, so I can't really give you specific help,
but there should be a startup script in /etc/rc.d/init.d or similar,
linked from scripts in the appropriate /etc/rc.d/rc*.d directories for
the runlevels in which you want to use sendmail/drac/portmap. I don't
think there's anything more to it than that. dracd will attempt to
connect to the portmapper and register itself, and it should work if
portmap is running.

Hi Steven,
You right! I don't have installed portmap. Now everything is work ok.
1. Other problem that I discovered is that dracd can't "register" my IP if I
use SSL on POP3 (995). I'm using for a log time STunnel to make SSL
conections over POP3. Do you know why can it works if I activate SSL on
Outlook Express?
2. Other question: A few years ago I work in a Solaris Server with qpopper
configured with DRAC or somtehing like it. In that time I used Webmin and
with it I can see the IPs of the registered users in webmin sendmail spam

Even in server mode it still has to copy the spool if there are
changes. If the user leaves some, but not all, mail on the server,
for example.

3.1 allows the lock to proceed even if the attempt to write into
the lock file fails due to the user being over quota. Otherwise
there is a catch-22 in that the user can't get in to delete mail
because the user is over quota.

It works fine, although to be safe you should make a copy of the old

Read the INSTALL file from qpopper3.1...
<SNIP>
-p 0|1|2|3 Set clear text handling options when APOP is
available: 0 is default (clear text passwords only
permitted for users not in the APOP database); 1 means
that clear text passwords are never permitted for any
user (users not in the APOP database cannot login); 2
means clear text passwords are always permitted (even
if an APOP entry exists), which allows them to be used
as a fallback; 3 means they are permitted on the local
interface (127.*.*.*) only.
</SNIP>
...and then of course, read the APOP section as well.

Date: Thu, 12 Oct 2000 11:57:26 -1000
Hey all,
I have qpopper v3.0 running on a production machine on Solaris 8. It works
just fine and never do we have a problem.
However, I am building a test mail server off the main network. I have
sendmail 8.11 installed and working and I also have Interscan VirusWall
working. I can compile and install popper just fine. However, when I try
to connect to port 110 I get the following message in my log file.
Unable to obtain socket and address of client: socket operation on
non-socket (95) [pop_init:376]
Does anyone know what this message means? We are pretty stumped here. Yes,
I have added pop3 to services and inetd.conf. No, there are no duplicate
port 110 entries. Yes, the entries are identical on how they are defined
both are in lowercase. Yes, I have done a kill -HUP on inetd and I have even
done a reboot -- -r. No matter what I do I can not connect to port 110.
I would appreciate any help I can get.

Try 3.1, which has been released.
What do you mean by 'having troubles'?
If you still have problems with 3.1, try enabling tracing.
To enable tracing in Qpopper:
1. Do a 'make clean'
2. Re-run ./configure, adding '--enable-debugging'.
3. Edit the inetd.conf line for Qpopper, adding '-d' or '-t tracefile'.
4. Send inetd a HUP signal.
This causes detailed tracing to be written to the syslog (if you used
'-d') or to the file specified as 'tracefile'.

Subject: Mailboxes doubling (rather lengthy)
Hi all,
We are running qpopper 2.53 on Solaris 7. Two disksuited (4.5) 8 gig
drives. The users are on Eudora Pro 3.0 but are in the loop for an upgrade
to 4.3.2. Some are beta testing the new distribution.
Up to a few months ago I would keep on top of the folks here regarding
their mailbox size. If it got too large or if the number of rewritten
bytes got too large (over 100,000,000 bytes) I'd send the service manager
up and try to get their mailboxes reduced.
Normally we'd catch some flack but we'd also catch a few folks saving
mail on the server and get them fixed.
A few months ago there was a blow up between two of the customers
regarding saving mail on the server. The two camps were:
1. I want mail delivered as quickly as possible. Keep mail on the server
to a minimum.
2. As long as mail is delivered within 15 or 20 minutes or even a few
hours, users normally don't notice.
Contractor management didn't want to get between the two camps so I
stopped chasing down the abusers figuring they'd hoist themselves by their
own petard.
Sure enough, a few weeks ago we hit 10 gigs of rewritten
e-mail. Everybody's hair was on fire and even the folks in camp two
started chasing down the abusers.
Even though I was smug about the problems, I noticed that some of the
larger mailboxes were doubling in size. I first noticed that one guy went
from 79 megs to 158 megs. This looked odd since he had been about 79 megs
for several days.
Now I have someone at over 680 megs. I'm sure that I'll find that their
mailbox has doubled several times.
I've also found is that several people don't show up in the logs as
downloading mail even though they are.
I expect to see dlmsgs dlsize svrmsgs svrsize in the logs but even
though I see the server info change, the dl stats stay at zero.
Something strange that has been going on for a while is that there are
times that a user will turn off saving mail on the server and mail will
stop being saved but the old messages will stick around. Having them set
save mail for 1 day, check settings, and turn it off again will usually
clear out the old mail but not lately with the doubled mailboxes.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

This is a race condition somewhere in the tidy up.
This happens to us too. Usually with webmail by Endymion
(it sucks)
It might be related to -DNOUPDATEONABORT
it is one of those things I have never had the time or
energy to chase down. Now that 3.1 is released, I will patch
it for LDAP and start using that.
Possible solutions,
1 update to 3.blah
2 quotas
3 housekeeping code.
4 write your own webmail that has "delete duplicates"
We took option 3.

There were some failure modes in the old code base that could lead to
this. It was fixed a while back in the 3.x code stream.

Not sure what is going on, but certainly upgrade to 3.1 without
delay, then see if there are still any problems. Most likely the
spools have duplicate messages (including the UID) which confuses
both Qpopper and Eudora.

If you have any affected spools that the user wants to be empty, just
delete them. If the user wants to keep some messages on the server
but not others, do a 'check mail special' in Eudora (hold down shift
on Windows or option on Macs while doing a 'check mail') and select
'download all message headers to inbox'. Then the user select
unwanted messages and choose 'delete from server' in the server
status column.

Easy to say. Not easy to do. There are several hoops that have to be jumped
through to get approval to upgrade. As you can see with the next answer, it
can take some time for all the testing is completed before we can perform
the upgrade.

I knew it wasn't clear when I said it. Some of the users are testing our
distribution of Eudora 4.3.2 via SMS. The current push, after engineering
tests, QA tests, contractors test, selected customers test, has again been
put on hold. By the time it gets to the users, we're a version or so
behind. At my workstation I can just download what I need and see how it
works. It takes a bit more before that can be done at the user desktop.

Now with this information I might be able to force a faster turnaround on
the upgrade process.

Definitely duplicate Message IDs. That and the message dates were starting
over. That was how I confirmed it.

Well, it's just me dealing with 1800 accounts and about 500 people in the
office. If I can come up with a process to give the customer support guys,
it's one less thing I have to do. And the users don't always know if they
want to delete them all so I'd have to talk to them to work it out.

Subject: strerror code
I was looking through the 3.1 code, specifically at the strerror stuff,
and was wondering why there is a STRERROR() and strerror() definitions.
It seems STRERROR is a macro based on if HAVE_STRERROR is defined and
strerror is a func. declaration based on the same case, both returning
basically the same thing. Are they each used is special cases, or will one
be phased out? and can someone tell me which is most portable across
platforms?
Thanx,

Subject: qpopper: only allow POP from a special IP adress range !!!
Hello,
perhaps anybody can help me!
I want to patch qpopper, so that he only allows POP from a special IP range, for example
192.168.*.*, from anybody else he should only allow APOP.
the qpopper feature -p 3 is waht i want, put this feature only allows POP from localhost.
Now i want to ahve a patch which changes localhost in an IP Address range such sa
192.168.*.*
I have looked up the source code, but i could not find it, where I have to make these
changes!
Anybody an idea?
Would be very very nice!
Thanks a lot,

run qpopper as 2 different services/2 differe ports (1 for apop, 1 for
pop) and use tcpwrappers against both services?
maybe not the best way, but an option

Subject: Re: qpopper: only allow POP from a special IP adress range !!!
I've been mucking with the same problem. The best I've come up with is
similar. I run two poppers, one on an alternate port that only accepts
apop. Then at the firewall, we block all traffic to 110, except to port
forward 110 requests to an alternate port on specific pop hosts. This
makes it nice and easy for users, they do not have to configure their
mail clients to pop from an alternate port. As an aside, I also tried
running standalone poppers bound to different interfaces (ip addresses
actually) on the same machine (still port 110). This worked until
simultaneous requests came in and then standalone daemon that was trying
to run would die (duh). - no good - So what I did then, was run one
popper one 110 and one on an alternate port, then used the rdr directive
in ipnat to forward 110 requests on a specific interface (hme1)to 109.
This did work, but not all my servers have dual NICs. I tried using
Solaris's virtual interface option to ifconfig, but the syntax (hme0:1)
blew chunks in the ipnat configuration... etc... Much easier to do at
the firewall.

They are essentially identical, and one will probably be phased out
in favor of the other.
These days most systems have an strerror(3C) function anyway.

I'd suggest setting up sendmail (or whichever MTA you choose) first,
then when that is working set up Qpopper. Qpopper is fairly easy to
set up. The INSTALL file in the distribution explains it
step-by-step.

First, make sure you are using Qpopper 3.1.
My guess is that you are using shadow passwords. You need to run
./configure --enable-specialauth. Check the INSTALL file for
information about shadow passwords.
Try:
make realclean
./configure --enable-specialauth
make

It would be nice to expand '-p' to allow specification of address
ranges in a future release.

You can patch popper/pop_user.c -- look for "127."

On a related note, is anyone using tcp wrappers (tcpd) or for that
matter Dan Berenstein's tcpserver with qpopper?
We have always done so with other pop servers but I can't find any
mention of this and when I modified my inetd.conf it doesn't run popper
at all (when we try a test connection).
Existing inetd.conf line (not using tcp wrappers):
pop3 stream tcp nowait.100 root /usr/local/bin/popper qpopper -sR -c
Line with tcpd (doesn't work):
pop3 stream tcp nowait.100 root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/bin/popper qpopper -s
-c
Line with another pop server (does work):
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/gnu-pop3d
I am probably doing something stupid but I am stumped right now...
Any ideas?

The last two entries of the inetd.conf lines are the server program and
the server program argument(s). The server program arguments start with
argv[0] which is the name of the program. In your case, "tcpd" is the
server program. Then you have the arguments of tcpd as
"/usr/local/bin/popper qpopper -s -c". As you can see "qpopper" is not an
argument for /usr/local/bin/popper; get rid of the "qpopper" argument, so
it says
"/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/bin/popper -s -c".
Hope this helps,

We run qpopper 3.1 with a combination of imp/uwimap and outlook. I've
configured qpopper to run in server mode and users that use a combination of
imp and outlook receive the "DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL

Users that only use imp do not receive the "DON'T DELETE" message.
What should our qpopper configuration be in this case?

*** My Sendmail is working, but POP is not, thus if anyone responds to this

I have just installed RedHat 6.2 and compiled and installed qpopper 3.1.
I'm not the most graceful person in LINUX so excuse any ignorance that seems
obvious. After compiling and following the instructions in the INSTALL
document, I am unable to retrieve email using my MS Outlook clients. It
would appear that things installed correctly because at first my Outlook was
reporting that it could not find a POP3 server, but that error disappeared
after compiling and installing qpopper. However, the server seems to be
avoiding Outlooks request to log on as it is not even asking me for a user
ID and password. I purposefully put an incorrect ID in Outlook and when I
do a send and receive mail I am not getting any errors. I am using wrapper
on the Linux machine and have my hosts.allow configured. Sendmail is
working just fine, else you wouldn't be reading this email. I suspect that
email is coming in because if I send email from my Yahoo account, it does
not get bounced back. At first this was not the case I was getting errors,
and I figured out I needed to configure etc/mail/*allow files (I believe
that's a send mail function?).
Where else can I check for configuration problems?
All help appreciated! And remember to CC to bravedave2 at yahoo dot com. Thanks
