Thats just Qpopper telling you that it couldn't do a reverse DNS lookup of
the clients IP address. If the IP address belongs to you, you probably want
to check out the reverse DNS setup of your ip ranges....
It's not a fatal error btw, provided that the DNS query times out quickly,
and doesn't take 30+ seconds to time out....

Subject: Re: Solaris5.4 and qpopper
Um, when Solaris came out, we didn't touch it until 5.5.
Before then it was mostly beta quality code.
"5.5.1," our salesman boasted, "is as fast as 4.1.3 was."
(gee, and only 2 years wasted).
Might I just generally suggest 5.7 or 5.8?
Or what I did with my IPX:
I put OpenBSD on it, kept SunOS libraries in /emul/svr4/lib/ and
run Solaris and SunOS binaries just fine, but with OpenBSD beneath
it. (my Sparc 10 still runs BSD just fine, and it runs FrameMaker
for SunOS 4 when I have the patience to put a head on it.
You're running dangerous code, my friend. An upgrade or replacement
with a Pentium 200 (free, often, and faster) could be considered.
Regarding POP, debug it first by hand, no fancy apps :)
telnet $MACHINE 110 # do you get a prompt? Then qpopper is listening.

PASS YourPassword # now you've logged in.

This would suggest that it's being kept open for a while.
With some DBs (berkeley/sleepycat DB 3.x and 4.x) I should
be able to use transactions and/or lock+open, write, close very
quickly. I know that, for example, sendmail will have many processes
writing to the statistics file, but it's done very very quickly
and let go, so concurrent access isn't such a notable problem.
Can the qpopper code be optimized?
Can GNU DBM be replaced with a better database?

It isn't. The Bulletin DB is only opened rw long enough to check the
last read message, add the latest bulletins to the end of the user's
mail spool and write the pointers back. The total time is normally only
3-4 seconds at most (usually 1 seconds or less)
> Can the qpopper code be optimized?
Probably. Opening in ro mode and reopening in rw for the pointer rewrite
would solve it.

Well, that's not entirely accurate, depending on the desired result. If you
use the config option, you stop getting lookups at all. What I (and many
other folks) want is to get lookups when INADDR exists for an address, but
NOT get an error message when the lookup doesn't find anything. To get the
desired effect, the config option is useless.

Subject: qpopper startup?

I've googled, RTFM, and tried the current (4.05) tarball and rpm, and I
still get the same error on a redhat 9 box.
popper[26820]: Unable to obtain socket and address of client: Socket
operation on non-socket (88)
No matter what arg I send via the command line, it still gives me the
same error. I've tried using xinetd again with no luck. I've ran
qpopper before with no problem, so I'm not sure what else to try then to
ask on this list. Anyone else run into this problem, and if so, how did
you fix it?

sounds like you've compiled it for standalone and tried using it under
xinetd, or compiled it for xinetd and tried using it as standalone. one or

Subject: Qpopper, postfix and Red Hat
Hello everyone.
Well, as my subject states, im in the process of setting up my mail server
with qpopper and postfix on Red Hat 9.0.
I wanted to ask a couple of questions as well as ask for some advice on
suggested setup schemes for my server.
I will lay a little ground work first, to provide better info.
We are settting up an internal mail server running postfix + spamassassin +
amavis-new + clamav. We have setup a mail gateway on our DMZ to forward all
email to your internal mail server. That works so far. What I need to do
now is install and cofigure POP.
Our internal network composes of about 50 users. Our mail server is going
to be used for both sending and receiving email.
First question is about the install. Im reading over the .pdf file right
now, and all of the options.
Since Postfix on this server was installed via RPM, should the install of
Postfix go any differently? Should I specify certain features, disable
certain features etc.
I guess one question I have is to make sure that qpopper starts in the
event our mail server reboots.
As for advice, anyone have any specific suggestions they have for me? I'm
open to suggestions and welcome them.
Thanks everyone.
Cheers,
Jason

if you're running qpopper in inetd mode:
make sure inetd/xinetd starts on boot
if you're running qpopper in standalone mode:
make a startup script in /etc/rc.d/init.d and make the proper
startup (S) and kill (K) symlinks in yoru rcX.d directories
or
add your qpopper start command to your rc.local script

Subject: Qpopper + SSL
Date: Sat, 26 Jul 2003 04:49:41 +0100
Would anyone have an idea what could be the problem/error with qpopper
setting the certificate PEM file. As far as I am aware? there should be
no
problem with the servers CA signed certificate, including it's private
key.
Is the problem with qpopper or openssl? Running qpopper without SSL on
port
995 works perfectly fine. Appreciate any help or pointers, have searched
high and low on the net with no real results.

A missing file would do it. :)

Your Qpopper indicates that "/etc/mail/certs/pop3scert.pem" does not exist.
Check your path (permissions?).

Mark,
Thanks, yes, that line did bug me when I originally saw it, I did indeed
check the path and permissions, indicates: "owner:root group:root" all the
way through to the file /etc/mail/certs/pop3scert.pem. The problem would
appear to obviously lay here, now would the root:root permissions be indeed
correct? or am I overseeing something else with the owner and/or group
permissions.

Probably, yes; depends on your OS. On my FreeBSD box it would be
"root:wheel". But I suspect on Linux the group is "root" too. Besides,
should make no difference, really, as long as UID is 0. Did you set it chmod
600? (or 400 even). And you did compile
using --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl (substitute your own path, of
course), right?
And do you have this in your config file?
set tls-support = stls
set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/certs/pop3scert.pem
(Your debug-info does indicate that "tls-server-cert-file" was indeed set,
as pop_tls_openssl.c, line 352 prints this variable). And did you use the -f
config-file-path command-line option to tell Qpopper to read the
configuration file?
I really suspect there is either something not right with your pem file, or
qpopper is unable to find (parts of) your OpenSSL environment (or, if you
did not specified your openssl path, finds an older version of OpenSSL,
perhaps?)

I submitted a bug report containing the following:
Any suggestions are welcome.
Bugs:
____________________________________
Once you enable tls/ssl using openssl every time a client negotiatites a
connection this is written to the log.
This can quickly consume resources. This should be lowered in the log
level or set as a option. This creates _a lot_ of I/O as well.
"popper[83103]: (v4.0.5) TLSv1/SSLv3 handshake with client at
67.3.171.145 (67.3.171.145); new session-id; cipher: DES-CBC3-SHA
(DES-CBC3-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=ES(168) Mac=SHA1), 168
bits"
Is A LOT of I/O for every mail check for every user, log files get huge
very quickly.
And this is with -R,, had the reverse lookup been on this line would
have been much longer.
____________________________________
Logging:
Big mess...
What I want to do is:
Specify a log file and each time a user actually retrieves mail have it
do a statistics line for that.
If the user does not retrieve mail ( ie nothing is transferred ) no
logging unless I have specified log-login.
This should be 1 line in a log that if tls/ssl was used also indicate
cipher and bits.
After using many combinations, no options seem to exist to do this.
I would settle for options that worked correctly. IE. -s -T xxxx should
produce 1 line in a separate log for each query. This is not possible
currently, see below.
_______________
Tracefile:
This command does not do what it says. If you -do not- specify
debugging, so no debugging, and then use -t xxxx then you get tons of
debug related log entries. If you use tracefile = xxx you get
different results but still way more logging then what you see in the
system log without this option..
- -t and tracefile do not produce the same results when debug is
disabled, just FYI
According to your manual "If used without --enable-debugging, redirects
all log messages to the specified file."
This it clearly does not do. It also logs more stuff increasing I/O and
making a log file that's 4 times bigger at a minimum.
_________________
No log_level option.
_________________
"TLS shutdown Error" when using tls/ssl with Outlook. This is also
logged at a high level generating lots of log entries and again
consuming resources. This needs to be reduced in log_level.
_________________
Currently using the tracefile in config and doing -s produces 8 log
entries for a pop check. For a TLS/SSL pop check it produces 12 !. I
could get this lower by using command line options rather then config
file options but still could not reduce it to below 6 lines.. This is
without setting debug or enabling debug. The "set" log entries only
occur if these options are set using the config file. These log entries
disappear when you use command line options.

Setting a option like servermode in the config file writes a log entry

options and others as well.

_________________
Tracefile generates lots of blank lines with just a date/time.
__________________________________________________
What is needed is a logfile command combined with a loglevel.
Also a good review of how tls/ssl is logged and in fact how every option
combo is logged.

There is actually a pretty easy way to control what is logged and what isn't.
The order in your config file is important:
Everything listed before the set-tracefile is not logged.
Everything listed after the set-tracefile command is.
so if set-tracefile is the last thing in your config file, the volume logged is much lower.
Still, there are 2 lines for each non-tls pop check (the timestamp of the start of check, and the timestamp of the stop check along with the username, process #, mail stats and IP (which is logged twice if DNS lookups are turned off).
As well, TLS/SSL information is also logged, resulting in an additional 2 lines (one for TLS startup, one for TLS shutdown error) in most cases.
At least all the "set" items are not logged.

Interesting. This is undocumented. Even not known that,, I was able to
reduce the logging to what you said.
Like you said however, its still like 6 lines when 1 would be sufficient
!
That’s a 5 or 6 times bigger log file. Its also more I/O.
I feel that better control of logging needs to be addressed.
I wish I could write the code, I would submit it.

It is the guide. See page 16 for the ./configure option. It does
seem to be missing from the table of run-time options on page 28.
This should be fixed, of course. (The sample configuration file
included in the distribution does list the 'old-style-uid' option.)
If you previously ran with Qpopper not writing X-UIDL headers, then
you have a few choices for how to migrate to 4.x. If you are sure
that you don't want to ever write X-UIDL headers, then set no-status
and old-style-uid. If you want to start using X-UIDL headers, then
only set old-style-uid; once all users have checked mail at least
once you can turn that off and start using new style UIDs.
There is a risk of multiple messages getting the same UID with the
old-style UIDs.

Hi all,
Please excuse me if this has been covered before but I'm new to
this list.
I'm trying to update qpopper on my home system. I use DRAC to
allow me to relay mail through and prevent anyone who hasn't
logged in from doing so. Every time I try to use the configure
script to build a new version of qpopper I end up hacking the
script not to do its DRAC tests just put in the flags for the
make. Then it compiles and works fine with DRAC. I was wondering
if anyone else has had this problem? What is the fix?
Command line:
./configure --enable-bulletins=/var/spool/bulls \
--enable-new-bulls=15 --enable-specialauth --enable-log-login \
--enable-shy --enable-log-facility=LOG_MAIL --enable-poppassd \

I have this problem, but it might not be for the same reason. I build on
Solaris, and the drac tests need to link against the network libraries
to succeed. This works fine if the drac tests are shifted elsewhere in
the configure.in, but they're in the wrong place as things stand.
I use this patch. Autoconf must be rerun after applying, then the normal
configure command will work.
This patch should be clean for application to the qualcomm source
distribution in 4.0.6, if Randall is interested.

Hi all,
Did anyone manage to make popper log *only* statistics in standalone mode through syslog (*not* via inetd nor with the -t option), if possible whith set debug = false ?
Thank you
Foudil
I did on my Linux 2.4.16 with qpopper4.0.5 :
./configure --enable-debugging --with-pam=pop3 --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl-0.9.7b --enable-standalone --enable-log-facility=LOG_LOCAL7
> cat /etc/popper.conf
set debug = true
set cache-dir = /var/spool/mail/popper_cache
set statistics = true
set timeout = 480
set server-mode = true
set fast-update = true
set downcase-user = true
As the log says, the 'statistics' option is actually recognized :
Aug 4 19:09:54 pop-serv popper-standalone[24719]: Set statistics to true [pop_config.c:1206]

Subject: Need help configuring bulletin support on Debian GNU
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 14:00:52 -0400
Hi,
I have a Debian GNU (2.4 I believe) system that we acquired when we bought
another ISP. This system was using pop3d as it's POP3 server. I really like
Qpopper, particularly for it's bulletin support. I am currently using
Qpopper on a FreeBSD system and on a Redhat system.
Up until today I have not tried to install anything on this Debian box.
Debian uses something called Dselect to 1) search for packages, 2) Update
packages, 3) Install packages, 4) Configure packages, etc. I managed to
fumble my way through using Dselect to find a Qpopper package for my system,
install it and uninstall the pop3d. What a learning experience that was!
Anyway, it worked. I can telnet to port 110 and it tells me that I'm running
Qpopper 4.0.4 and I can pop mail from the system. But, I never got the
chance to pass any configuration flags such as -- enable-bulletins.
Choosing the Configure option of dselect doesn't help, it just looks for
something that needs configuring, doesn't find anything then exits.
Has anyone ever run across this before? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Lisa Casey

Subject: Re: Need help configuring bulletin support on Debian GNU
In Debian you can use a command line package manager called dpkg to
install, uninstall and query the installed packages. Here's a few
examples; the man page tells all.
dpkg -L <qpopperPackageName> will give you a list of files in the
package. If not sure of the exact package name, use dpkg -l | grep
qpopper.
Two places where flags can be set are in the /etc/init.d/ startup script
for qpopper, and in /etc/defaults/. Haven't seen this particular package,
but the files are usually well commented with instructions.
Hope this is helpful.

--0-1712840751-1060634512=:16236
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
This patch to popper/drac.c was written by Justin Donnelly and edited by Khalid J Hosein to enable QPopper to send incoming mail users' IP addresses to mutiple DRAC-enabled SMTP servers. It takes a comma-separated list of values (IP addresses or FQDNs of
SMTP servers) in either the QPopper configuration file (drac-host option) or on the command line (using the -D option). Please note that there can not be any spaces. This appears to be a limitation of the parsing routines that already exist in QPopper. To
keep things simple, we've made no attempt to change any of those [parsing routines].

Subject: Error in 'make install' with qpopper4.0.5
--=====================_107369118==.ALT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
I have already read the documentation. I'm have a problem with
popauth. I'm running Redhat 9 which is fully updated with up2date.
Here is the configure command line I used:
./configure --enable-apop=/etc/pop.auth --enable-popuid=504
Here is the entry for the 'pop' account in my /etc/passwd:
pop:x:504:503:Qpopper Mail Service:/home/pop:/bin/false
Here is the entry for the 'pop' group in my /etc/group:
pop:x:503:
Here is popauth and popper binary in my /usr/local/sbin:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 pop root 34384 Aug 12 16:03 popauth
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 123348 Aug 12 16:03 popper
Here is popauth and popper biniary in my /usr/local/sbin showing uid number:
-rwsr-xr-x 1 504 0 34K Aug 12 16:06 popauth
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0 120K Aug 12 16:06 popper
It had no errors with 'configure' or 'make'.
Here is the end part of output from 'make install':
/usr/bin/install -c -s -m 0755 -o root popper /usr/local/sbin/popper
echo "Installed popper as /usr/local/sbin/popper"
Installed popper as /usr/local/sbin/popper
if [ "x" != "x" ]; then \
cd ../password && make install ;\
fi
if [ "xpopauth" != "x" ]; then \
/usr/bin/install -c -s -m 4755 -o 504 -g 0 popauth \
/usr/local/sbin/popauth; \
echo "Installed popauth as /usr/local/sbin/popauth " \
"with uid 504"; \
/usr/local/sbin/popauth -init -safe; \

make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/shares/public/qpopper4.0.5/popper'
make: *** [install] Error 2
As you can see the popuid 504 does exist. The first time I compiled
qpopper it worked fine. It quit compiling correctly the 2nd time I tried
compiling it. I even removed the previously installed files. The pop
account is not locked.
Here is the error I receive when I run 'popauth -init':
./popauth: "504": userid unknown
Like I said, the first time I compiled it everyone worked fine. I just
wanted to try out some different command line arguments with
configure. I've even tried the same exact installation procedures as I did
the first time when it was working. But that isn't helping this time
:( Any suggestions? I've even tried deleting the pop user and group and
then recreating them. That didn't help either. And yes, I had the pop
user created before I tried installing/configuring qpopper.

Subject: How messages should be organized in spool
Hi everybody
My MUA (Microsoft Outlook Express) connect
successfully to the Qpopper, pass the authentication
and come out without reading mail. It further displays
ìNo new messagesî!
Could somebody kindly explain to me how to organize
directories beyond the spool directory and any
permissions, etc. required for the Qpopper to
successfully read messages for MUAs?
I use Qpopper 4.0.5 on Intel Pentium III based server
running Red Hat Linux 8.0 and MySQL 3.23.52 and have
applied qpopper-mysql-0.12.patch to authenticate POP3
users via MySQL.
(1) My ./configure line is:
./configure --enable-servermode --enable-shy
--enable-specialauth \
--enable-temp-drop-dir=/var/spool/mail/.pop
--disable-check-pw-max \
--enable-fast-update --prefix=/usr
--disable-hash-dir-check \
--enable-standalone --enable-mysql \
--with-mysqlconfig=/etc/mysql-popper.conf \
--enable-debugging
(2) The email table entry:
mysql> select * from email where username='sagara';
| username | domain | uid | gid | status |
shell | password | spool
| loginhosts |
+---------------+--------+------+------+--------+-------+----------+------------
-------------------+------------+
| sagara | mydomain.com | NULL | NULL | 1 | NULL
| test123 | /var/sites/mydomain.com/mbox/sagara
(3) mysql-popper.conf
MysqlAuthHost localhost
MysqlAuthPort 3306
MysqlAuthDb pop3authdb
MysqlUsername root
MysqlPassword root password
MysqlAuthTable email
MysqlAuthPasswordMethod cleartext
MysqlAuthUsernameField username
MysqlAuthDomainField domain
MysqlAuthDefaultDomain mydomain.com
MysqlAuthPasswordField password
MysqlAuthUidName mail
MysqlAuthGidName mail
MysqlAuthAcctStatusField status
MysqlSpoolField spool
(4) Permissions for /var/spool/mail/.pop
drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 4096 Aug 14
14:53 .pop
(5) Permission for my spool directory: /var/sites/
mydomain.com/mbox/sagara
drwxrwxr-x 5 root mail 4096 Aug 14

Thank you
Sagara

the spool field points to a spool FILE where mail is stored..you have it
created as a directory. you don't create the sagara entry in
/var/sites/mydomain.com/mbox, your MTA (sendmail,postifx,exim,qmail) does.

Subject: make error on OS X 10.2.6 with GCC3.3
Date: Fri, 15 Aug 2003 12:43:24 -0400
I have built it many OS X systems in the past and its always been very
straightforward (./configure; make; etc) but for some reason now it fails..
The only thing that I can think that has changed is my updating of GCC to
3.3.
Can anyone suggest a possible solution to the following error?
% make
cd ./popper && make all
gcc -c -I.. -I.. -I. \
-I../mmangle -I../common \
-g -O2 -traditional-cpp -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DDARWIN -DUNIX

What does that file look like, and what does it contain in lines 98-101?
Mine is:
[10:06] macossex:~ % ls -l /usr/include/ppc/param.h
-r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 4528 Nov 22 2002 /usr/include/ppc/param.h
[10:06] macossex:~ % sed -n '98,101p' /usr/include/ppc/param.h
#define btodb(bytes) /* calculates (bytes / DEV_BSIZE) */ \
((unsigned)(bytes) >> DEV_BSHIFT)
#define dbtob(db) /* calculates (db * DEV_BSIZE) */ \
((unsigned)(db) << DEV_BSHIFT)
This file (<ppc/param.h>) is the same size/date on both my work Mac
(which has gcc 3.3 installed, from the Apple Developer Tools) and my
home PowerBook (which has the default 3.1ish gcc from 10.2.6), so I
don't think anything changed when gcc 3.3 was added.
Try running
gcc -E -I.. -I.. -I. \
-I../mmangle -I../common \
-g -O2 -traditional-cpp -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DDARWIN -DUNIX pop_dele.c
and see what you get for the pre-processor output from that param.h file.
(Then, use "gcc_select" to set your gcc back to 3.1 - or even 2.95.2 - via
either "gcc_select 3" or "gcc_select 2", and then run the same "gcc -E"
command and compare the output to what you get with 3.3.)

That warning should not stop the binary from being built. Show us all your
output from doing a 'make'

yes it's a bug. very annoying one at that. and it's still not fixed in
4.0.5. there was a patch which i've lost sadly which i didn't bother
installing, i just went back to the already installed wu pop server.
does anybody else on this list have the patch to fix the issue with outlook?
basically the problem is that the pop server responds too quickly for
outlook (less than 50ms) and outlook goes 'duh, a server shouldn't have been
that fast to respond'... crappy microsoft....
or every better, get a different mail client. :)

Iíve been trying to execute a script to run fetchmail whenever a client
press the receive button for a local account.
As qpopper is the daemon that attends this traffic.
Iíd like to know if someone knows a way of executing a script whenever
qpopper tells to.
There is no way to do this with fetchmail, as the ñd parameter only
specifies an interval in seconds.
I want to fetch outside mails only when local clients ask for it. Otherwise
fetchmail will be always downloading mail from outside servers.
Thanks a lot!!!

Subject: SSL problem
Hi all,
I've run into a problem that has been described before, but I can't seem to
find the solution. This problem is this:
When I try and download my email, the connection is disrupted. Qpopper
4.0.5 reports this in the logfile :
popper[9323]: (v4.0.5) TLSv1/SSLv3 handshake with client at
10-4-2-146.kotnet.org (10.4.2.146); new session-id; cipher: RC4-SHA
(RC4-SHA SSLv3 Kx=RSA Au=RSA Enc=RC4(128) Mac=SHA1), 128 bits
popper[9323]: apop "luc"
popper[9323]: POP login by user luc from (10-4-2-146.kotnet.org) 10.4.2.146
popper[9323]: I/O Error
popper[9323]: Error writing to client
popper[9323]: luc at 10-4-2-146.kotnet.org (10.4.2.146): -ERR SIGHUP or
SIGPIPE flagged
popper[9323]: luc at 10-4-2-146.kotnet.org (10.4.2.146): -ERR POP hangup
from arrhenius.chem.kuleuven.ac.be
popper[9323]: Stats: luc 0 0 8 956624 10-4-2-146.kotnet.org 10.4.2.146
I'm running this on a RedHat 9 system with all recent patches , Qpopper
4.0.5, and Eudora 5.2.1. In the mailclient I get the above error messages
below the mail as it was downloaded up to that point (usually just the
headers).
I have other problems with SSL-connections as well on other machines, but
these do not produce the above error messages, but rather simply abort the
connection early on during the POP handshake (SSL handshake is finished by
than, and the messages are decrypted properly as they are readable). I
assume the lack of the above error message is due to this error occuring
prior to the actual pop mail session.
Non-SSL transfer does not give problems (POP/APOP).
Anybody seen this before (and hopefully solved it) ?
Many thanks in advance,
Luc Vereecken
