By default Qpopper uses either local0 or mail, depending on your
system. You can override this by using the '--with-log-facility'
flag with ./configure.

Subject: How do I disable DNS lookup (ERRORS) at run-time?
I know I can disable reverse lookups liks so "pop3 tcp
/usr/local/lib/qpopper qpopper -sR" , but I want to keep the reverse
lookups, I just don't want an error message when it fails, simply don't
give me the reverse name of the ip number.
Is there a way to do this ?
Also when a reverse lookup is done, and 5 minutes later another reverse
is done does it do a full query again, or does it respond from cache so
to speak?
is this also true if it's not found?
In other words are we causing a ton of requests to get the same failure
100 times a day?
Thanks !!!

Subject: Logging
Before I ask my question, first I have to understand the proper source.
Is qpopper responsable for the information that gets logged in the
maillog, or is the logging program?
I ask because I want to change the format of the information put into
the log file in order to make it easier to read, and I'm not sure if
that's in a config file, code, logging program, or what..
Any help is greatly appreciated...

I just installed poppassd this past Friday on 2 of our mail servers.
Both use shadow passwords & are running RedHat Linux 6.x I used the
2.2.17 kernel headers when compiling this program.
It supports the shadow files, and even has builtin requirements for the
sumitted password (can't be dictionary based, and can't be too short).
Hope this helps

/*
* poppassd.c
*
* A Eudora and NUPOP change password server.
*
* John Norstad
* Academic Computing and Network Services
* Northwestern University
* j-norstad at nwu dot edu
*
* Based on earlier versions by Roy Smith <roy at nyu dot edu> and Daniel
* L. Leavitt <dll.mitre.org>.
*
* Doesn't actually change any passwords itself. It simply listens for
* incoming requests, gathers the required information (user name, old
* password, new password) and executes /bin/passwd, talking to it over
* a pseudo-terminal pair. The advantage of this is that we don't need
* to have any knowledge of either the password file format (which may
* include dbx files that need to be rebuilt) or of any file locking
* protocol /bin/passwd and cohorts may use (and which isn't documented).
*
* The current version has been tested at NU under SunOS release 4.1.2
* and 4.1.3, and under HP-UX 8.02 and 9.01. We have tested the server
* with both Eudora 1.3.1 and NUPOP 2.0.
*
* Other sites report that this version also works under AIX and NIS,
* and with PC Eudora.
*
* Note that unencrypted passwords are transmitted over the network. If
* this bothers you, think hard about whether you want to implement the
* password changing feature. On the other hand, it's no worse than what
* happens when you run /bin/passwd while connected via telnet or rlogin.
* Well, maybe it is, since the use of a dedicated port makes it slightly
* easier for a network snooper to snarf passwords off the wire.
*
* NOTE: In addition to the security issue outlined in the above paragraph,
* you should be aware that this program is going to be run as root by
* ordinary users and it mucks around with the password file. This should
* set alarms off in your head. I think I've devised a pretty foolproof
* way to ensure that security is maintained, but I'm no security expert and
* you would be a fool to install this without first reading the code and
* ensuring yourself that what I consider safe is good enough for you. If
* something goes wrong, it's your fault, not mine.
*
* The front-end code (which talks to the client) is directly
* descended from Leavitt's original version. The back-end pseudo-tty stuff
* (which talks to /bin/password) is directly descended from Smith's
* version, with changes for SunOS and HP-UX by Norstad (with help from
* sample code in "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment"
* by W. Richard Stevens). The code to report /bin/passwd error messages
* back to the client in the final 500 response, and a new version of the
* code to find the next free pty, is by Norstad.
*
* Should be owned by root, and executable only by root. It can be started
* with an entry in /etc/inetd.conf such as the following:
*
* poppassd stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/poppassd poppassd
*
* and in /etc/services:
*
* poppassd 106/tcp
*
* Logs to the local2 facility. Should have an entry in /etc/syslog.conf
* like the following:
*
* local2.err /var/adm/poppassd-log
*/
/* Modification history.
*
* 06/09/93. Version 1.0.
*
* 06/29/93. Version 1.1.
* Include program name 'poppassd' and version number in initial
* hello message.
* Case insensitive command keywords (user, pass, newpass, quit).
* Fixes problem reported by Raoul Schaffner with PC Eudora.
* Read 'quit' command from client instead of just terminating after
* password change.
* Add new code for NIS support (contributed by Max Caines).
*
* 08/31/93. Version 1.2.
* Generalized the expected string matching to solve several problems
* with NIS and AIX. The new "*" character in pattern strings
* matches any sequence of 0 or more characters.
* Fix an error in the "getemess" function which could cause the
* program to hang if more than one string was defined in the
* P2 array.
* 6/4/20000 version 1.6a
* Updated Code to use PIPES, and also added save passwd output to file.
*/
/* Steve Dorner's description of the simple protocol:
*
* The server's responses should be like an FTP server's responses;
* 1xx for in progress, 2xx for success, 3xx for more information
* needed, 4xx for temporary failure, and 5xx for permanent failure.
* Putting it all together, here's a sample conversation:
*
* S: 200 machine_name popassd v1.4 hello, who are you?\r\n
* E: user yourloginname\r\n
* S: 200 your password please.
* E: pass yourcurrentpassword\r\n
* S: 200 your new password please.\r\n
* E: newpass yournewpassword\r\n
* 200 Password changed, thank-you.\r\n
* E: quit\r\n
* S: 200 Bye-bye\r\n
* S: <closes connection>
* E: <closes connection>

Subject: Using APOP
Actually, I'm not even sure APOP is what I am looking for. I have
the latest version working (after that compile problem with nmdb - thanks
for the help). Now I want to ensure there is some form of encrypted
authentication happening. APOP seems to be what I am looking for, but
there doesn't seem to be any way to use that for Windows Netscape or
Outlook clients.
Am I mistaken? Is there a practical way to use APOP or something
similar with these clients?
Thanks.

Bind default is to cache negative hits (failures in real speak) for 5

Some of the content is handled by syslog, but most of it comes from
the application, Qpopper. Specifically, the addition of hyphens in
between some elements could be done by Qpopper code. There are
currently no configuration elements for this.
Why do the hyphens make it easier?

Subject: Re: Logging
While troubleshooting pop problems we tend to watch or tail the log files, and
in doing so the hyphans or brackets allow you to quickly see the fields per
say of data, this instead of a bunch of numbers where spaces kind of melt
together...
Current:
Nov 20 21:14:32 saturn qpopper[17438]: Stats: kennethb 0 0 2 1695
208.61.159.67 208.61.159.67
Enhanced:
Nov 20 21:14:32 saturn qpopper[17438]: Stats: kennethb 0 0 2 size=1695
[208.61.159.67] [208.61.159.67]
I have also seen apps to change colors of certain key words so you can lets
say have ERR be red etc.
Basically I beleive the brackets allow you to see what you want quicker and
easily....
Thanks

To a certain extent the true answer is both, but the bulk of what
gets written by syslog is designed by the program calling it...
I.e. Syslog prefixes the date and process number etc. -- up to
the colon after the PID.
The rest of the line is done by (in this case) qpopper.
Grep for calls to syslog. The code surrounding that should be what
you're looking for (without looking at the code). It may be that
the syslog call is made by a subroutine that gets called elswhere
(consistent with the way I remember qpopper doing things). In that
case, you'll be grepping for calls to the wapper subroutine(s).

Hello,
Currently, DRAC-1.10 normal working on the same machine no problem with

But I can't compile with Qpopper-3.1.2. It is interesting and only I

I have installed Solaris 7 with necessary libraries.
Any suggestion?

Attached is a poppassd.c I hacked together two years ago, but actually
never used it in production. It is based on the version 1.2 for solaris
and supports modification of APOP secrets. Use at you own risk.

Subject: Qpopper lock problems
I have Qpopper 3.1 installed on my system and for the most part it works
wonderfully. I have one user who is having problems. Each time she tries to
log in, she gets multiple warnings:
/home/myusername/myusername.pop lock busy. Is another session active?
Of course I've checked, and there isn't, the permissions on her home dir are
correct, and in every other respect, her account is just like other user
accounts. I'm at a loss as to what else to try.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Rather than modify qpopper, I'd recommend piping the tail output
through an awk or Perl script. You could use awk with a printf to put
the numbers in fixed-width fields, making them line up better in
columns.

Hello,
I'm using qpopper (V 3.0.2) and it runs like a champ...:-)
You must ensure to have a client that supports APOP authentication,
like Pegasus for WIN, and you have to enable it of course...
If you compiled qpopper with APOP support, you just need to set his pwd
with popauth .... and it works, but only with APOP if the users pwd is set
in
ex. /etc/pop.auth, normal POP3 pwd will not be recognized!
I don't know if Outlook/Netscape (WIN) supports it....NS-Mail that comes
with
Crashicator (Linux) does not support APOP...but fetchmail does...:-)

Welcome! You will find that almost all software includes some type of
documentation.
Your qpopper should come with an INSTALL document that has information on
configuring and using qpopper. It also includes a manual page -- type "man
popper".
Also, you should check out the FAQ at
http://www.eudora.com/freeware/qpop_faq.html.

Hello,
we are using qpopper for distributing mail within our lan. It works great, but there is one annoying detail I'd like to get rid off. Version is 3.1.2. Qpopper was compiled with configure --with-log-facility=LOG_LOCAL2, which will go into /var/log/qpopper.
log. This works fine for statistics logging (qpopper is called with -s by inetd), but for every connect there is also an entry in /var/log/messages (format: popper: connect from X.X.X.X (X.X.X.X), where X.X.X.X is the local ip of the machine connecting).
These entries do not show up in /var/log/popper.log, so there are not logged to local2. /var/log/messages is configured with local2.none. As statistics logging is done only to qpopper.log, this seems to work ok. As far as I understand the entries in /var/
log/messages may be used for the smtp after pop feature, that some isp use. But since we only use qpopper internally, the entries in /var/log/messages are very annoying (/var/log/messages mainly consists of these entries). Is there any way to turn this of
f?

What is the exact text of the message? I do not see anywhere in
Qpopper that logs "connect from" (or "Connect from"). Maybe inetd is
doing the logging?
If you compile Qpopper with debugging (use '--enable-debugging' with
./configure) then all log entries generated by Qpopper show the file
name and line number where generated.

This is probably logging from inetd, not qpopper. You can redirect
those logs using a suitable control line in /etc/hosts.allow. For
example:
qpopper : ALL : SEVERITY local2.info : ALLOW

This sounds a lot like the messages that tcpd (TCP Wrappers)
generates. Check your /etc/inetd.conf to see if your system is
using it. Other than that, it might be coming from inetd itself

No, unfortunately, such technology has been lost to the world forever,
leaving us with such mailing lists as already exist, which explains why
questions unrelated to the intent of the original mailing list keep
cropping up -- there simply aren't enough lists to cover the broad
range of topics. ;)
qpopper is a POP server, not a mail transfer agent or mailing list
manager. You may want to consider asking your question on a list that
caters to configuration and management of mailing lists, not POP. Or,
you could try majordomo, mailman, lyris, or any of the hundreds of
mailing list manager software packages.

My guess is that this is just server-side support for parsing X-Sender:
headers and passing them back to the client. They're not necessary but
might allow some cases to optimize. They can be safely ignored...we do

Since installing the new Qpopper 3.1.2, we have been seeing millisecond

to search them for our client. It is really inconvenient not to have the

(1) It's a book. A giant super computer was asked "What is the meaning of
life, the universe and everything". After several aeons, the computer
answered "42".
(2) Although Mac computers are very clever for some things, their brains
seem to have no end of problems with TCP/IP. For instance, you can only
connect to one interface at a time, so if they use a modem for web
browsing, they will not be able to use an ethernet interface to collect
their email from an internal mail server .
If there are no error messages in your server log file, the mac is probably
not making a TCP/IP connection to the server. Start at the mac and try to
telnet to port 110 on your server. Hopefully, that should give you some
clues.

Alternatively, how about giving some useful information. Try looking in your
log file - probably /var/log/messages and note any error messages.

Gian,
It appears that the OE for Mac only uses the protocol APOP for checking
mail (I can't figure out why) and therefore users can not check their mail
with the normal popassd.
You should see in your logs:
>>APOP username
The only solution we are working on is to allow for APOP authentication.

I don't know i did say it "appears",
I do not own a Mac so I can not look at the program to try and figure it
out, but all of our customers on Mac's (all handful of them) that recently
upgraded to the latest version of OE, now get an APOP error. I have gone
through with them on the phone to try and find out if OE is setting that
somewhere, but had no luck.
It is only the newest version of OE however, the older ones work fine.
If you have any suggestions other than enabling APOP, they would be much
appreciated. Are you running apop authentication or popassd or both?
Thanks
John

So why is it that my own Mac (using OE5) can pick up mail from any of my pop
servers (I run qpopper 3.1 and 3.1b10 (and previously various 2.x
versions)without any problems. I also have many customers using various
types of mac from pre power pc upwards.

Hi Folks,
I'm running Sendmail and qpopper 3.0fc1 on FreeBSD. I need to find out if
the version of qpopper I'm using supports etrn. It would probably help if I
even knew what etrn is.... A quick serch on the 'Net didn't turn up much
hard info on it.
Would someone from this list mind education me a wee bit on ertn and whether
or not I can support it with my version of qpopper (also whether or not I
need to do anything special in qpopper's configuration to support it).
Thanks, I appreciate any info I can get.

It's sendmail that you want to support ETRN, not qpopper and sendmail does
(if you have a recent enough version),

I had this problem a couple months ago on a redhat machine running qpopper
( i don't remember the version) upgrading to the latest rpm solved the
problem.
