Subject: question about qpopper v4.0.3
Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2001 08:30:43 -0400
Hello all
I running the following php script for connecting to my pop3 server runnig
qpopper v3.1.2 and display the number of messages stored in my mailbox :
<?php
$mbox = imap_open ("{correo.highway.com.py:110/pop3}", "damian",
"secret66");
$d = imap_num_msg ($mbox);
echo "$d";
?>
And work fine.
But running the same php script to my pop3 server with qpopper v4.0.3 , its
not work and the log of qpopper says the following:
Jun 22 08:19:22 hwns1 popper[88890]: (null) at 208.209.45.1

My pop3 server with qpopper v4.0.3 work fine for mail clients programs.
I install qpopper v4.0.3 with the following options:
su-2.03#
./configure --disable-check-pw-max --enable-log-login --enable-server-mode -
-
enable-shy --enable-timing --enable-chunky-writes=2
And running from inetd with the following options:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/popper popper -T
120 -R -s
Some ideas?
Thanks!

Not being terribly familiar with php, I assume that "imap_open" really
has some facility for connecting to POP ports as well?
My guess is that whatever is in that imap_open routine is broken.
Maybe it is looking for some specific string in the banner.

The "(null)" in place of the username means it never got a login, and
"-ERR POP EOF or I/O Error" means the remote side disconnected without
sending a "quit" command.

Try configuring it and making it again without the "shy" option; maybe
that PHP routine is expecting to see the string "pop" in the banner,
though it shouldn't.

I think these messages relate to the POP connection closing without an
explicit QUIT command sent... someone please correct me if I am wrong!

Hmmm. You want to improve mailbox speed by implementing a database,
spread across a cluster of servers, which efficiently handles records
varying in size from a few hundred bytes to many megabytes, in a
collection indexed on a single key, with multiple collections organized
for lookup by an ASCII string.
Sounds kind of like a hierarchical UNIX directory structure over NFS
to me! (NFS+maildir format)
Beyond that, I just don't see any benefit of storing the mail in a
database - are you ever going to try to do operations like "Look up the
3rd message in every user's mailbox" or "retrieve all messages with a
subject of 'Announcement' sent to every user whose name begins with
'z'"? Probably not, in which case a database will provide no benefit
and only degrade your performance. Unless of course you're doing it
for pure hack value (entertainment purposes) - in which case anything
goes.
If availability and scalability of performance is really critical to
you (e.g. supporting >25K users with > 99.99% uptime is a requirement)
consider implementing a cluster of servers accessing a shared mailspool
on a redundantly configured NFS server, running something like the
Cyrus mail system or another system which supports a maildir type
format, and using the POP server that comes with that,if qpopper isn't
enhanced to support maildir by then. I know this works because some
very large ISPs (Earthlink, PacBell) have used this general style of
architecture for their mail service; I've had some casual chats with
system designers at both of those.

That log doesn't say much. Try enabling debug tracing and see what
Qpopper says is going on.
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'.

Hello,
I have just downloded qpopper4.0.3 which requires TLS/SSL (OpenSSL)
OpenSSL have been installed. I have done create and install certificates
for TLS/SSL and got to a point where it says "Send the certificate signing
request (file req.pem) to your Certificate Authority for signing. You will
receive
back a signed request."
Please advise the e-mail address of the Certificate Authority.
Kind regards

Hi all
I don't know how to answer your question, Ken.
I also tried to compile using krb-5_1.1.2_beta2 and the undefined symbols

Subject: QPopper 4.0.3 hanging? Or inetd? Help, please!
Hi all,
I'm a newbie in charge of a production server. I have Caldera eServer
2.3.1 installed with a new 2.2.16 kernel. Everything has been working like
a charm. Today is the first day of the switchover, and it is getting
toward the afternoon. Pop clients have begun to report "connection refused
(10061)". I have QPopper 4.0.3. I restart inetd and all is well for 15
minutes when it begins again. Am I running out of threads? I have
debugging turned on, but nothing shows up. Syslog just stops writing
messages to the logs when the service, whichever it is, hangs. ps aux
shows the thread numbers climbing like crazy -- I'm up to 16,000 now, yet
the number of processes is around 130. Is this a clue? Don't these thread
numbers recycle themselves? They seemed to when we were running Digital
Unix (yeah, I was a newbie there, too. Still am.).
Help me, please!

I guess the first question would be, when you said switchover, what are
you switching from/to?? It's not really clear, from what i read anyway.
What does your inetd line for qpopper look like? are you using nowait.400
in it? Have you tried running in standalone mode? Running low/empty on
disk space?

I have the same problem with Red Hat 7.0 and xinetd, I tried with almast all

The only solution that I found is qpopper in standalone mode, is very fast!
but the result is low securitty.

The client disconnected after seeing the results of CAPA. Odd.

You can use any CA you choose. You can also self-sign. However,
the point of the CA is that it is a third-party trusted by the
client to certify that you are who you say you are. So you may
want to pick a CA that is by default trusted by the email clients
that will access your system. Otherwise your users will have to
manually approve the certificate.

Hi all,
I am just installing Qpopper 4.0.3 on Linux RedHat 6.2 (kernel 2.2.16).
When configuring I used --enable-APOP.
Then make and make install.
After all successfull, I tried to connect using APOP, but the server

Mail server does not support APOP.:
But if I use just POP, there were no problems.

Subject: Trouble Compiling Qpopper

I'm having trouble compiling QPopper with Mandrake Linux 8.0. I've checked
through the archive for the list and found another person having this
problem, but no solution.
The problem is that maillock.c uses tempnam, which gcc doesn't seem to like.
It says it's dangerous and would prefer the use of mkstemp instead. I have
modified the code to use mkstemp, but I would prefer a simpler and possibly
more tested solution. A way of making gcc ignore the tempnam "error" and
compile the code anyhow would be handy.
Any suggestions/solutions are quite welcome.
Thanks in advance,

The option is case-sensitive: --enable-apop. configure will probably

I am experiencing a similar (although perhaps unrelated) problem. On a HP-UX
10.20 box upgrading from 2.5.3 is causing grief. I compiled 4.0.3 with
server mode enabled, log-login,enable-temp-drop (nothing special so far) and
am running with inetd using popper4.0.3_inetd -c -C -F -R as the command.
Here's what happens:
Under normal connection load using top the box shows ~90 processes with ~88
sleeping and very low load averages. (1.2 - 1.7). When I swap to 4.0.3
things fall apart. The number of processes slowly climbs from 90 to around
300 with 29X sleeping. Load averages skyrocket into never, never land and
the box grinds to a halt. There appears to be an increase in zombie
processes. When I tried the same in standalone mode the box kept creating
new processes until it filled the proc table - then the parent died. This
cycle takes about 15 minutes under nominal load. Before attempting this
under any real traffic I soaked 4.0.3 overnight for about 9 hours under
fairly low connection volume without any problems at all.
I have tried the nowait. solution with no luck - I didn't think I was
getting THAT many connections.
Can anyone shed some light on this? BTW-> There was nothing useful in the
logs...

turn on --enable-debugging and run with -T /path/to/tracelog
see, if you can find any useful info in the log files for the children

if you're C function savvy, you could also try stracing (truss?) the
qpopper parent, making sure to follow forks, etc..
strace -o strace.log -f -p qpopper_parent_pid

You may want to take a look at thinmailer

I can't say how well it works with APOP, as I only use it
with POP. It is fairly customizable as well.

Many, many thanks to all who responded!!
It looks like this was the winner. In this kernel, at least, inetd
defaults to 40 if no number is specified with the nowait parameter. I
upped it and so far so good. We'll see how it looks at the end of the week.
We were running Digital Unix 4.0G on a Dec Alpha 2100. Way too much money
in licensing and hardware annual fees, so linux on an Intel platform seemed
a feasible and economical option.

PMMail, http://www.pmmail2000.com/, available for both Win32 and OS/2.
Handles multiple accounts simultaneously and has PGP support. Does NOT
do IMAP or TLS. Crude HTML display (but who wants HTML in email
anyway?). Pretty good filtering capability with a good filter pattern
and action language. If you have both the OS/2 and Win32 version in the
same directory, they'll use the same data.

Hi,
Doing stupid experiments with my server (Mandrake 7.0, qpopper 4.0.3) I
found an easy way to shut it down from any client, sending a bunch of

it's Mozilla). inetd terminates qpopper with the message:

How can I prevent a malicious user from clicking so fast? :-)

Ilya,
You can increase the 'tolerance' (number of requests it will handle)
for inetd with the 'nowait.(number)' parameter in the popper line of
inetd.conf. I think the default is 40 - you could try making it 200
or 400...
Apart from that, in my (limited) testing I can't cause this sort of
problem on our system - perhaps it has something to do with your
qpopper config since, in theory you shouldn't be able to make multiple
pop connections for the same user at the same time...
(Do you get multiple poppers for the same user in your process list?).

Dont use inetd, or tune your inetd service to allow for a lot
more pop sessions being started.
xinetd is good, as is DJB's tcpserver.
I used to use tcpserver, because it was quite happy spawning
200+ / second which was close to our peak load, but the next
version of the GOL.COM mail system uses exim/pop-proxy/qpopper
and xinetd because its run by a linux drooly who refuses to
use anything by DJB on principle.
Whatever cranks your tractor ...

Just found another, Ximian Evolution for Gnome

Subject: How do clients keep status of maildrop
Hi, this is perhaps slightly off topic, if so I apologize.
I am moving/migrating maildrops from NT Mail to Unix, I have all the
details hammered out except that some clients will redownload all
the messages in the maildrop if the user has selected to leave mail
on the server... Outlook and Netscape at least but Eudora seems to
retain the status between servers... Fetchmail also seems to realise
that the messages have been read and should not be redownloaded.
So my question is how do clients determine the status of the maildrop?
Do they use TOP, UIDL, scan the Status header or X-UID[L] header or
some esoteric thing?
Thanks for any pointers.

I used to use qpopper w/xinetd, but after a while (few weeks) xinetd RSS
would get up to like 50 meg. I guess it (xinetd) has a snowballing
memory leak somewhere.
So now i just run qpopper standalone and the system is happier memory

I am having problems getting the right message format (in think).
In /etc/inetd.conf i have this:

popper -b /var/spool/bulls
I have created /var/spool/bulls

I then created a message using eudora and sent a copy to myself.
then I copied the message from /var/mail/myacct to /var/spool/bulls/1.test
then I killed and restarted popper.
the .popbull file is in my directory but the message did not go
through to the users.
any hints.
what is the proper way of getting the bulletin into the bulls directory?

Subject: Re: Bulletins * need clarification PLEASE *
It is the first line of every mail message in the mbox file format. Use
the vi editor and look at the file /var/mail/jdonovan and you will see a
"From " line before each message.

Generally speaking, I believe they *should* be using the output of the
UIDL command and comparing it to the UIDL headers on what they've
downloaded.
I don't have any info on what the different clients actually are doing.

Subject: I/O error flushing output to client ???
OK I have looked at past posts, and looked on the web with no answer to
this problem.
I noticed the few times I get this, there are literaly hundreds of
entries in the logfile.
Can someone from Qualcomm please help out and really define the
importance of this message?
Thanks !
Jack

Subject: .user.pop files in RAM disk, how faster?
We run qpopper 3.0.2 on an AIX unix box. As most users choose
to keep mails on server, hence it becomes quite slow when plenty
users are reading their mail at the same time (though i've
placed the .pop files directory separate from their /var/spool/mail
mailboxes).
Now since the newest version of AIX OS has this feature of
using part of the RAM as disk (using a command called mkramdisk)
, i wonder will it improve things much ( i did a simple test
on a test machine for 1 mailbox, but the difference is not significant)
for qpopper. Could it be that the reading of the mail from /var/spool/mail
to create the .pop files is also the bottleneck.
Any comments?

Subject: Tools/methods for deleting old email?
I'd like to find some tools to go through mailboxes (mbox format, in
/var/spool/mail) and delete anything that's been read, and which is more
than 30 days old. I've got some users who just won't set the "delete from
server" switch, and it's time to take action. I really don't want to do
quotas enforcement at this point, though.
Anyone know of tools to do this? I'd love it if Qpopper had an option for
this and would just perform the trim while it was doing its processing, but
the only switch I find there is auto-delete.
An alternative would be to add auto-delete on a per-user basis, targetting
the abusive users only.
Any thoughts or pointers to tools would be greatly appreciated.
Dan
