Still using and maintaining it. The problem is that Red Hat stopped
making the Contrib system easy to contribute to, so now I distribute the
RPM's on my own server. (Anyone know another way to get listed in
rpmfind?)
I just Googled for "qpopper rpm" and the proper directory shows up about
a dozen results down the list. Here's where you want to go:
http://www.sewingwitch.com/ken/SRPMS/
I use qpopper with DRAC on RH7.2, so you'll want to either grab that RPM
as well or change the spec file in the source RPM to disable DRAC and
rebuild a binary RPM.

No reason to give up on RH 7.3. It's working great for me. Have you
applied all the various updates?

Subject: enable-home-dir-mail=Mailbox command
From: Jeff <jeff at maclink dot com>
I have qpopper running on FreeBSD 4.2 and I am able to get qpopper to work
with sendmail style mailboxes. I would like to have the mailboxes in the
$home directory. I have used the configure option,
--enable-home-dir-mail=Mailbox and conpile but it doesnt work unless I use a
symbolic link to the $home directory (e.g.,ln -s /home/jeff/Mailbox
/var/mail/jeff ). Is there any trick to getting Qpopper to work without
doing a symbolic link?

uhh, if you have to make that symlink then your MTA (sendmail, postfix,
qmail, whatever) is wanting to put the mail in /var/mail instead of your
home directories..you have to reconfigure your MTA to put it in the right
place first, before qpopper can pick it up from there.

Is possible that you use the same config file for both instances of
popper server? That would explain that only one of the instances
is working properly.
The pop3s is working because you are receiving the pop-up
window saying that your cert is not trusted....
My config file looks like this:
set tls-support = stls
set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/certs/cert.pem
set tls-support = alternate-port
set clear-text-password = tls
set chunky-writes = tls
Perhaps you can try to add to your config file
set debug
and look to log files for more info.

Subject: SSL on port 995
Hi all...
I'm using Qpopper 4.0.4 on FreeBSD. Everything is OK except this :
I have pop3+SSL on port 110 and it works fine.
But i want Qpopper to work on port 995. I have this on a conf file :
set tls-version = SSLv23
set tls-private-key-file
/usr/local/etc/qpopper/certs/qpopper-private-key
set tls-server-cert-file
/usr/local/etc/qpopper/certs/qpopper-certificate
set tls-support = alternate-port
set clear-text-password = tls
set home-dir-mail = Mailbox
Wans't this suposse to be do the job? I mean the alternate-port should
make qpopper work on 995 instead of 110, right?
I'm missing something ?
TIA

How are you starting qpopper? You need to tell that process to run an
instance on port 995. If standalone mode, you need to specify the port
on the command line.

I'm starting Qpopper as standalone. I thought that alternate-port was
enought to start the process on 995.
I've put the port number on the command line and it's OK now...

Subject: TLS/SSL for HA servers
Hi:
I try setting up qpopper 4.0 using TLS/SSL. Everything works.
But there is one problem, we are using HA(High Availability).
So Let assume there are two servers machineA and machineB.
When both machineA and machineB work, Popper servers are fine.
But for some reason machineA fails and machineB takes over
machineA role. Now, when Eudora connects to machineA, it actually
goes to machineB. But the cert.pem is only for machineB and
the users on machineA get certificate errors saying the machine
name is not matching. Eudora refuses to download the mails.
Does anyone figure out a way to work around this problem in HA
enviroment?
Thanks in advance

Yes, it's very simple. In this configuration the certificate belongs
to the logical function, not to an individual machine. It should be
assigned to a symbolic name (and IP address) like "popmachine" shared
by both servers, and they should then share the same certificate.
That's how something like https://www.amazon.com/ has to work, when
you think about it.

QPopper has a limit on how fast it can copy the mailbox...
Had a user (to my very slow machine) with large mail. I used
"mutt" to break the mailbox into two (save the first half into
another box and delete). She pulled down the first part (and
deleted) and I moved the second part into place.

Subject: Outlook and SSL
Hi all,
having studied the archives of the list I have found a number of similar
questions, yet never a complete answer to solve my problem. So please
forgive me if this might be a newbie question or a repost...
I have set up qpopper4.0.4 and want to use it with Outlook and SSL
encryption.
First question: Do I need to configure the alternative-port or can Outlook
use the TSL on port 110? I have encountered problems when using Norton
Antivirus' email protection that seems to act as a proxy on port 110...
Second question: Why does it not work... ;-) Outlook tries to connect and
gets back an error code 0x800ccc0f - regardless of the port number. My
server log says the following (after all the initialisation of the ssl
stuff...)

Microsoft does not seem to understand STARTTLS on port 110. So you need to
set up a second instance of qpopper on port 995 in "alternate-port mode" in
which TLS starts before the POP protocol, rather than as a result of
negotiation.

Norton Antivirus doesn't understand STARTTLS, and won't work with alternate
port either. It's a bad match for Outlook. It uses a proxy setup. I believe
McAfee uses a plug-in to Outlook, which makes a lot more sense.
Short answer: find a different antivirus package if you need to use Outlook.
Norton works fine in conjunction with Eudora, with Norton's email
protection stuff turned off. This works, because Eudora saves off
attachments into separate files, and Norton will notice the virus-laden
file(s) being written to disk.

Check the spool directory and the temp drop directory for files with
multiple hard links. I'd guess you had a system crash at some point that
left an extra link around that hasn't been cleaned up. You might need to
fsck the filesystem.

Subject: poppassd TLS/SSL option "-l"
poppassd v4.0.4 was installed as part of my recent installation of
Qpopper v4.0.4. I've been able to successfully retrieve mail via
POP-over-SSL. I'd like to give Eudora users the option of changing
passwords with the "Change Password..." option. The man pages
for poppassd notes that "-l 0|1|2" is a command line option.
-l tls-usage
Sets TLS/SSL handling. Must have compiled with OpenSSL
or SSL Plus.
0 is the default. TLS/SSL is not supported.
1 enables the STLS command. This permits a client to attempt
TLS/SSL negotiation after connecting.
2 Causes Qpopper to attempt TLS negotiation when a client
first connects. This is for alternate-port
support.
Should "-l 1" result in Eudora clients building SSL connections over
which passwords would be changed? I'm not sure that I'm invoking
poppassd properly with xinetd [though I do get an initial exchange
between a client and a server...as detected with a packet sniffer].
The problem is that despite the use of "-l 1" in my xinetd script
the client-server exchange is in clear-text.

You need to have each service use a different configuration file; one
that sets tls to 'stls' and the other to 'alternate-port'. You can
put all other options in a third configuration file, and have each of
the first two include the third.
BTW, with this setup, port 110 is not "non-secure". Port 110 is the
standard POP port, and 995 is the kludgy alternate port that some
unfortunate mail clients insist on.

I recently posted a message to the list with details of a problem i am
experiencing with Qpopper ver 4.04 with SSL/TLS enabled using Openssl
version 0.9.6e It seems like this probelm has been ongoing for the past 2
years but there has been no fix. From my investigations it appears that the
the problem may exist in the qpopper implementation of the SSL libraries,
hence my posting to both lists, Im kinda desperate now so any help would be
apreciated!
details as follows.
When downloading files with SSL enabled, we get this error in the logs
This is not a chunky write problem as my qpopper configuration file is made
up of the following
set tls-support = alternate-port
set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/certs/cert.pem
set chunky-writes = always

When SSL_write is called again after another function, SSL_ERROR_WANT_...,
it must get exactly the same buffer because parts of the buffer contents may
already have been encrypted and wait in interal buffers while others may not
yet have been looked at. What's really important is that buffer *contents*
stay the same, but as a sanity check to avoid application bugs the OpenSSL
library checks whether the buffer *address* is not changed. This check can
be disabled by setting SSL_MODE_ACCEPT_MOVING_WRITE_BUFFER for that SSL
object, using SSL_set_mode (or SSL_CTX_set_mode
on the SSL_CTX before SSL_new is called).
Not being a programmer of any kind i am unable to implement this fix help

Subject: Bug in rejection of STLS ?
Hi There,
I hope this hasn't been covered in the archives before, I looked back a
fair way and couldn't see anyone with a similar problem.
We run QPopper 4.0.4 in a pretty much default installation. (No ./configure
options except prefix) We don't have (or want) STLS enabled.
One of our POP3 clients is actually a 3rd party service which allows
customers to check POP3 accounts from their WAP enabled phone. We have no
control over that 3rd party service or how it operates.
Problem: When that 3rd party attempts a POP3 connection to our server, it
first tries issuing the 'STLS' command. Despite the fact that STLS support
is not even compiled into QPopper, it recognises the command and responds
with "ERR - command not enabled", (which is fine) and then closes the
connection. (Which is not fine)
Closing the connection when a command which support of is not compiled in
seems wrong to me. This makes it impossible for the client to probe for
STLS and then fall back to a normal connection. In order to prove this I
commented the stls line out of the state table in pop_get_command.c thus:
{ auth1, "epop", 0, 0, pop_epop, {auth1, auth1} },
// { auth1, "stls", 0, 0, pop_stls, {halt, auth1} },
{ auth1, "user", 1, 1, pop_user, {auth1, auth2} },
{ auth1, "capa", 0, 0, pop_capa, {auth1, auth1} },
and found that the 3rd party that is probing the STLS command gets an ERR
message, and then continues to use normal POP3 methods and succeeds.
Without my change, the connection always gets dumped. (Obviously my change
is a hack, but it was just a way of testing my theory)
The question is, is QPopper in the wrong ? Or is the client trying to probe
STLS in the wrong ? Or is this just one of those ill defined grey areas of
interoperability that crops up from time to time.
It seems to me that if STLS support is not compiled in at all, then the
STLS command shouldn't be recognised at all, and just return an ERR command
not recognised, which could probably be done by putting an ifdef around the
line I commented out, similar to the ones for RPOP and APOP.
But if STLS support is compiled in, but it is DISABLED, then it should
report that the command is disabled, as it does now, but IMO it should
*NOT* then drop the connection. I'm guessing, but it looks like that could
be done by changing the halt to auth1 in the line I commented out, but
without understanding the code a lot better I wouldn't like to do that.
Comments anyone ?
Regards,
Simon

Subject: Re: Very frequent and very annoying error notice
You don't say what OS you're running or how you are running it.
tcpd will do paranoia checks - forward/reverse DNS.
Also qpopper will do a reverse lookup.
My view is that if you don't have reverse DNS set up, then
you shouldn't be on the Internet. Much of that comes from
dealing with MTAs a lot. Machines with IP addresses MUST
have forward and reverse DNS entries.
Failing to do that under the poor excuse of "it adds security"
just further indicates that they don't know how the Internet
works.
If this (xx.xx.xx.xx) is a machine under your control, fix
DNS. If not, well, grep is a lovely option.
Most people do, I presume, periodically cull the log files
and run reports on them.

hi --
im a qpopper newbie running it on a sun/os workstation.
problem: for mass mailings, when the inbound mail reaches a limit of 2000
or so, qpopper goes into a lock state and makes the whole workstation in
operable (w state goes to 20, numerous mail.locs raid the process list, mail
cannot be retrieved).
tried using one of the suggested fixes to increase nowait: to 600, but did
not make a difference.
ok, want to try some configuration options (as in the eudora admin guide, p
11) but don't quite understand what they mean between the different
categories:
"Type this option..." --- where? at startup? after the inetd? where?
"configuration file option" -- ok, what configuration file? where is
it?
checking my inetd.conf settings, i see that the log file is activated...but
where is the log file? how does qpopper log?

Hello all,
I have installed qpopper from the ports collection on freebsd 4.5. I'm
trying to test it locally from the machine itself and if I telnet to
localhost on port 110 everything works perfectly. If I telnet to the machine
name or the IP address this is what I get:
vanessa# telnet vanessa 110
Trying 192.168.0.50...
Connected to vanessa.
Escape character is '^]'.
Connection closed by foreign host.
vanessa#
The connection immediately gets closed. I'm sure this isn't a qpopper
problem but I've been scratching my head form a while trying to figure out
why this is failing.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help.

Looks like tcp wrappers. Edit your /etc/hosts.allow to allow connections
for the pop3 service.

check your /etc/hosts.allow file and make sure you have permissions from
the outside world to use qpopper on that port... such as:
qpopper : ALL : allow
I ran into this problem when I ran qpopper and /etc/hosts.allow was set up
to recognize "popper" instead.

deciding that running qpopper in standalone mode is not prudent, i added the
following flags to
the popper executable started in inetd.
used the -S server mode flag and the --enable-hash-spool=2. great...seemed
to make a big difference in the ability of my qpopper to handle inbound
traffic. however, the application that normally extracts mail into a
database suddenly cannot log on to qpopper! i can log on, normally and do
a mailq -v.
how could either of these settings affect an external application that
'harvests' mail from the qpopper?

well, if it extracts it by connecting to qpopper via TCP and executing
commands, i.e. USER, PASS, STAT, RETR..i can't see how it would affect it
(off the top of my head)
BUT, if it extracts it directly from the spool, then it would affect it,
since now your spools have a different path, i.e. SPOOL_DIR/u/s/user
instead of just SPOOL_DIR/user

by a user-specific configure file to adjust the option per-user.

Any help on this is much appreciated, I've just begun using qpopper on
my freebsd 4.5 postfix 1.1.11 server, For the most part I've been very
happy with the results except for one quirk, Qpopper seems to be running
a reverse DNS query for every connction, most of the time this hasn't
caused a problem but some of my users are connecting from IP's that for
some reason don't have a Reverse DNS entry The result is that these
users do get connected but there's a 20 to 30 second delay before they
do, is there any way to either eliminate the Reverse DNS lookup or just
shorten the timeout so that instead of waiting 20 or 30 seconds it only
waits 3 or 4.
I've kind of come to this conclusion by elimination, The only thing I
can find in common with the hosts that are having this problem is that
there is no Reverse DNS for them.
THanks

Did you install qpopper from the ports collection?
I did, and it installed a manual at the same time ;)
>is there any way to either eliminate the Reverse DNS lookup
-R Disables reverse lookups on client IP addresses.

The only use I have ever had of this command, is what the computer told me
to
do. We have two Hard drives (c0t0d0s3 & c0t2d0s3). Should I be running fsck
on both?
We tried this morning (the fsck on both disks).
It says that both drives are mounted do you want to
continue? and we said Yes. The second hard drive runs
fine, but when it tries do do the fsck on the original
hard drive (the c0t0), it says I can't do part of hard
drive because it's mounted. Should I unmount it, and
if so, how would I go about doing that??
Thank You

Subject: 4.0.4 on SunOS 5.8/sparc - strange problem unlinking cache file
Hello poppers,
I am suddenly having a strange problem. No one can fetch mail.
I rebuilt with debugging enabled, but saw nothing surprising. A truss
shows this: the forked popper always crashes after unlinking the .lock
file and I cannot figure out why. Any clues?

Yes. I had to on Solaris 7, 8, and 9. (using gcc as the compiler and bash as
the shell). Drac was compiled in /usr/local/src/drac, btw.
I did this:
export LDFLAGS="-lnsl"
Cd /usr/local/src/qpopper-4.0.4
./configure --enable-drac=/usr/local/src/drac

I haven't used config include files. Does this point at itself?
Might you have a config file in a user home directory that's
self-referential?
