Subject: making patches to qpopper
i was just wondering how legal it is to release patches to qpopper. it's
not like i'm asking for money, i'm just giving out a couple things that i
did to my server, but that legal document in the distro looks kinda
restrictive about that kinda thing.

Subject: FreeBSD 2.2.5 and QPopper's Popauth dumps core
I am having trouble getting APOP to work. The problem is that popauth
works fine for initaialiing the database, but any other command causes a
core dump.
the pop user is 'pop' (UID=110, GID=110)
The mode of pop.auth database is 600, the database is in /etc owned by pop
The mode of popauth is 4755, owned by pop
The proper options was used during the configure (the error is 'not
configured for APOP' if it wasn't configured.
popauth is in /usr/local/bin
Same problem occures with the latest beta release and 2.3
I have tried playing with the modes, ownership and uid/gid numbers of the
pop user, same results.

There is no problem with making patches available. You might want to
post a URL for them to this list, and if you think they should be
included in future releases of Qpopper, also send them to
<qpopper at qualcomm dot com>.

Yeh. libc5 don't got getsupopt. i commented out that entire block and
got it to compile fine. i'm going to write a getsubopt replacement next,
i guess... not that i intend to use that function much, but i hate having
cheap hacks like that on my machine.

Subject: Re: making patches to qpopper
Cool. I put together a patch for 2.53 and 3.0b12 that allows you to store
all your usernames/passwords/uid/gid/maildrop in a mysql database. it's
at http://www.riverstyx.net/qpopmysql/
i'm going to patch qpop for pam once i put together a mysql module for pam
and get pam running on my slackware box (looks like it's going to be a
nightmare).

*nod* i just commented it out and now it works fine. Do you know of any
problems it has with kernel 2.2.0pre7..specifically with quotas. I've run
the 2.1.x kernels with quotas enabled on my other machines, web server,
etc.. with no problem, but on the mail server the dquot-nr (under
/proc/sys/fs/) is exceeding the default dquot-max of 256 and wreaking
havoc.

I haven't done much with 2.2.0. I'm pretty sure that you can set a higher
dquot-max in /proc/sys/kernel/dquot-max though. That should fix any kind
of problems you have.

Subject: Can't find HTONL() code
Attempting to compile Qpopper3.0Beta12 on HP-UX 10.20 results in a linker
error trying to find the code to htonl(). Anyone know what library that
code might be contained in? Here is the man page for htonl if that
helps. It appears like HP-UX might not need htonl() call and should be
omitted by the sounds of the man page.
byteorder(3N)
NAME
htonl(), htons(), ntohl(), ntohs() - convert values between host and
network byte order
SYNOPSIS
#include <netinet/in.h>
_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED only
#include <arpa/inet.h>
unsigned long htonl(unsigned long hostlong);
unsigned short htons(unsigned short hostshort);
unsigned long ntohl(unsigned long netlong);
unsigned short ntohs(unsigned short netshort);
DESCRIPTION
These routines convert 16- and 32-bit quantities between networkbyte
order and host byte order. On HP-UX systems, network and host byte
orders are identical, so these routines are defined as null macros in
the include file <netinet/in.h>. If _XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED is defined
then these routines are defined in the include file <arpa/inet.h>.
These routines are most often used in conjunction with Internet
addresses and ports as returned by gethostent() and getservent() (see
gethostent(3N) and getservent(3N)). Use these routines to write
portable programs.
AUTHOR
byteorder() was developed by the University of California, Berkeley.
SEE ALSO
gethostent(3N), getservent(3N).

Subject: Re: Can't find HTONL() code
afaik, htonl is standard c library. and, i think hp is bigendian, so you
can write a dummy htonl that takes in a unsigned long and returns that
same unsigned long.
if that does something truly weird, then it's a simple enough matter to
swap the order of the bytes in the longint and return that instead.
don't take my word for it though, i'm primarily a linux user, i only
venture out into foreign territory when absolutely necessary.

Subject: ERR Unable to process From ...
I am in the process of converting Netscape's mail server to qpopper for the pop
side and using Sendmail 8.9.1 for the SMTP mailer.
Everything is working fine except for transition of Netscape's user mail to the
standard Unix single file mail.
Netscape uses the format:
/netmail/username/mail1
mail2
mail3
...
In other words, every piece of mail is a separate file. In Unix, Solaris
specifically, all email is simply in one file.
The answer seemed obvious, append or cat all the files together into one large
file. The problem is a get the following error message when I try to pop to the
server:
ERR Unable to process From lines (envelopes) change recognition modes ..
If I manually edit my newly made file and manually add From lines before each
email entry it works. Obviously I do not want to do this to several gigabytes of
email.
Has anyone run into this one before.
Thanks and a summary will follow

haha, oh my gawd, it's john! when you hear from patti (she's still in
bermuda i think), tell her cyggie said hi!
anyway..i have this same problem with qpopper every so often (even 3.0b).
I'm not converting files or anything, but it still happens in user's mail
files. When i get this error and look in the user's mailfile, the first
line in the file will be a From line, but the F will be missing, like:
rom Anthony J. Biacco <admin at intergrafix dot net>
If i stick an F in there, save the file, bang! i can retrieve the mail
again
I dont know if this a problem with qpopper rewriting the mailfile or with
sendmail writing to the user's mailfile (we use sendmail 8.8.8)
ideas from the qualcomm people?

Well, I've seen that problem happen with ipop3d before... I couldn't
really say. In answer to the first, one (nasty) way to fix the problem
would be to use fetchmail to pull down all the netscape mail into a normal
spool format. Heh. Ergh...

You need the "From " lines. (On some systems you need Content-Length
headers instead, but on most Unix systems you need lines that start
with "From ", and usually contain timestamp and other information as
well.
You have several options. You could use your your favorite editor to
add "From " lines at the start of each file, then cat them all
together. You could whip up a quick script in C, Perl, your favorite
shell, whatever, to cat each file into a new spool file, adding a
"From " line. You could have the script invoke sendmail to ressend
the message, but you'd need to be careful it only got sent to the
spool owner, not any addresses in the headers. You could have a
trivial program read each file and send it via SMTP to the user.

3.0 fixed some locking problems, so if it is still happening it may
be something else. It is always the "F" that is missing? What
elements to the incidents have in common? For example, very large
spool files, lots of attachments, lots of activity at the same time,
etc.?

Pretty damn near always the 'F'. I personally only see it on mail spools
containing about 300+ messages, but that could just be a probability thing
'coz those spools get accessed more than the smaller ones.

it's always the F, always the first message. doesn't follow any other
pattern really. does it when it's busy, not busy, large spool files,
1-message spool files, attachment or non-attachment.
I've also had a problem with people's lock files sticking around.
Like, if they have a 3 meg spool file, start downloading it, then click to
cancel, it'll keep their lock file and the popper process open until i go
in and kill it. I'm running in server mode

I hope this is the write place to email qpopper questions like this.
I have a user who is using Netscape 3.0 for his mail client. He is having
problems downloading 'large' files which contain things like excell spreadsheets
or rtf documents.
It seems that either qpopper or netscape have a timeout and neither
ever tries to send again.
Any ideas?
I'm using the latest non-beta qpopper on freebsd.

Subject: Multiple emails in one message
I experienced a strange problem sometime.
In my mail client Netscape, I received several emails, but they are seen
by Netscape as a single one.
I use qpopper 2.53, sendmail 8.8 and Solaris 2.5
When I look at the mail file in the Netscape folder, the mixed emails
have a '>' at the beginning of the FROM line.
If I delete this bad character, Netscape separate well all the messages.
Where does this bad character come from ? Is it a qpopper problem or a
sendmail problem ?
Thanks for any help,

Subject: Re: Multiple emails in one message
we have seen this EXACT problem after upgrading to qpopper 2.53 (we are
running sendmail 8.9.1 and solaris 2.5.1) I don't think it's a sendmail
problem, we are running Uwash ipop3d on a different system that has not
seen this problem (same OS + sendmail version).
It's hard to debug as the problem is very intermittant - ie: it doesn't
seem to happen very often - of course there may be many users that are
just not noticing that they have the problem.
One thing we noticed (may be a fluke) is all the concatonated messages
(ie; the one that was attached - and thus began with the ">" ) were from
listserv's ???
looking through sendmail logs, I can see the messages coming in
independantly - we haven't been able to see a mailbox before the error
is reported (and thus qpopper has hit it)...
we have rolled back to 2.52 but are getting REALLY bad performance from
it (a lot of time-out's reported), we are considering moving these
systems to ipop3d, but users will get duplicate messages (those with
"leave-on-server").

a) install qpopper-2.53, older ones have a security problem;
b) show us the output of:
`ls -l /usr/local/lib/popper`

Are you sure you have your popper in _lib_ not bin or sbin?

of another qpopper in an other machine and We have a surprise. Both of

Subject: Qpopper 3.0b13 available
This version includes fixes for compilation problems involving
getsubopt() not found on some platforms, popauth failures on some
platforms, and the "possible probe of account" message is now logged
as WARNING instead of CRITICAL (stupid typo).
Also, there is now a UK mirror.
See <http://eudora.qualcomm.com/freeware/qpop.html>.

I'd appreciate it if someone who is having problems related to
getsubopt() not defined when trying to make 3.0b13 could please add
"#define __USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED" to popper/pop_init.c and let me know
if this fixes it. Also what platform you are using.
Thanks!

Using the Slackware release of Linux and I will need to check the
version. That did not work but it may be I am running an older version. I
did try to compile on Redhat before the fix and that did work.

Not FIXED!
I'm using Linux debian 1.3.1 (kernel 2.0.36, libc 5)
I check all my libs.
AND i do not have getsubopt() in my libs.
I know that glibc 2 have getsubopt()

Subject: QPOP 2.53 Bug??
I'm finding users with locked mailboxes frequently lately.
Investigation of the mail file reveals a fragment of a message
present, such as shown below. It seems that Popper must be the cause,
anyone see this or have some clue as to what is wrong???
It's a Solaris 2.51 box, and I'd guess this is a problem about once
every 400 (or more) accesses for all users. It rarely strikes the
same user twice.

When you say "interspersed" I assume that you mean concatenated?
I am getting this (abeit rarely) on Solaris 2.6 with qpopper 2.53
too. It has happened to other clients, not just Eudora.
As far as I can tell a character get deleted (or added) to the spool
or the Content-Length is simply off by one. We are running Sendmail,
if that factors in.
I have found at least one other person on Usenet with this problem,
but they were running Solaris 2.5.1.

When you say "interspersed" I assume that you mean concatenated?
It really appears to be a fragment of a preceeding message left, as if
a small buffer had not been properly discarded. I mentioned this on the
list last night with a different example. I'd guess the problem
appears when there is new incoming email while the pop server is
actively serving the old.

Subject: STAT log message containing IP?
We hacked our old qpopper to stamp the IP of each user STATing, in order
to allow other software to detect it and open a short-lived smtp access
window for offsite email clients.
Has anyone else done this? I thought that the patch had been submitted
to Qualcomm a while back, but it's not in the 3.0 source.
The patch against 2.4 is pretty straightforward, and I can't see that it
needs to be any different for 3.0. It also patched into 2.53 easily when
I updated our qpopper to that version.

Something else which may be worth considering is a module to allow
qpopper to talk to DRAC (http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/drac/), as that has
greater promise than just watching syslog output.

Subject: qpopper configuration help
OK, this is my first attempt at trying to get a pop3 server running. I'm
using Redhat Linux 5.2 with 2.21 kernel. I downloaded the 2.53 qpopper
version and the configure (used ./configure --enable-specialauth since
I'm using shadowed passwd's) an make to go smoothly.
I added the following to my /etc/inetd.conf
# Qpop pop3 daemon
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/lib/popper popper -s
I also verified that the /etc/services was configured properly:
pop-3 110/tcp # PostOffice V.3
I then copied popper to /usr/local/lib/
-rwxrwxr-x 1 root root 162454 Feb 14 11:07 popper
Then I restarted inetd (I even rebooted) and when I use netscape as my
mail client to access my server as a pop3 to retrieve mail it tells me
that a POP3 error has occured and to contact the sysadmin.
I'm seeing this in my messages file:
Feb 14 11:07:41 cx611883-d /usr/local/lib/popper[2364]: Unable to obtain
socket and address of client, err = 88
I didn't find anything else while searching through the documentation
and the FAQ on the website. Can anyone shed light on what I'm missing or
some steps to use to troubleshoot the problem?
Much thanks,

Yes, actually pter Belt from the mail list just helped me with this
(about 10 mins ago). The problem was that I was using pop3 as the name
in the inetd and pop-3 in the services file (which was what was there by
default of course due to the pop-3 entry in the inetd.conf).
That did the trick. I should have paid a bit closer attention to detail
:)

I did this and it would just close the connection (No connection
refused). I read the README and it said to use the -d to debug . I
tailed my messages and didn't see anything but what I gave below. I
couldn't find much else on this subject (or at least I had another one
of those attention to detail problems :)
Thanks for all of your help though. I'm very happy to get this running.

read the README ;) which tells you to do the following:
$ telnet localhost 110
and await a prompt like:
$ telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.

Search better :) Do the telnet, if that doesn't work, it would mean you
might need something like:
popper : ALLOW : ALL
in /etc/hosts.allow; although it may be many different things.

Hi,
Ive only just subscribed to this list, so Im not sure of the etiquette with
regarding asking questions... so here goes.
I compiled 2.53 yesterday with the DEBUG and HOMEDIRMAIL options.
everything works fine, but with this new build I have been asked to provide
my bosses with statistics and logging for pop connections.
This should include hostname or ip of incomming connection, username, errors
when usernames/password are incorrect and general stats (that are created by
default with the -s switch.)
I looked at the debugging option, but this generates too much information.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or does anyone else require these sort of
stats/logging, and how do you go about generating it.
Thanks for reading... any help much apprecited!

It's not a qpopper fault, it's inetd.
Inetd's default is to shut down a service called 40 times or more in 60
seconds on the basis that it's looping.
To change that number, change "nowait" to "nowait.XX".
My pop servers sit at nowait.400

This does sound useful, but long-term I think SMTP AUTH is the way to go.

Long-term, yes.
However authenticated SMTP is quite a way off yet, and we have to be
able to provide smtp access to roaming users without them having to
reconfigure their clients all the time for the local mailserver.
Leaving SMTP servers open to relay for anyone who uses a local domain
name is a surefire way to end up in various relay blacklists. It's a
common spammer trick to forge domains local to the server they're
relaying through. Sendmail's documentation now warns specifically
against doing it (relay_local_from) for this reason.

Adjusting the service shutdown threshold should be approached with
caution - having a heavily loaded server starting up lots of qpoppers
from inetd can easily lead to a denial of service attack scenario if
nowait.xxx is set too high for the machine's capabilities.
It gets into a nasty positive feedback state when frustrated users start
pounding on "check mail" because of slowness, leaving a bunch of
half-open connections, etc.
It would probably be a "really good idea" to look into having a master
qpopper started from inetd, which then spawns off child processes for
new connects - as can be done with processes like tacacsd/radiusd.
Given an appropriate idle period, the master server can shut itself
down. In general it's lower load in both cpu and process memory to fork
off child processes than to keep starting a service from inetd - inetd's
not really designed to be hammered on.
Btw, the same looping problem is often seen on identd, especially on
busy servers with lots of outgoing smtp traffic. If you're running
pidentd (the most commonly used one), the best solution is to start it
this way:
auth stream tcp wait root /usr/sbin/in.identd in.identd -w -t120 -l
That's in the pidentd man pages, but not in its INSTALL file. It can
significantly reduce loads when things get hectic.

Subject: NFS with qpopper?
Ok, I know that #5 in the INSTALL file states that qpopper shouldn't be
used over NFS in 2.53. Is that still going to be case with the 3.0 series?
Also I've seen it mentioned that people do use qpopper over NFS (at least
in the Dejanews search I did yesterday I saw a few references). How
successful/dangerous is this?
We're in the process of moving local accounts to a pair of failover NFS'd
systems served off of a fibre channel array and I need to find a way to
handle POP3 support with mail which is delivered to $HOME/.mail. We tried
the switch from qpopper to cucipop once upon a time, but our userbase
nearly lynched us due to weird problems with some mail clients downloading
the mail repeatedly, etc. I'd love to stay with qpopper if it isn't going
to be mutually exclusive with the architecture outlined above.
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide,

Subject: Re: getsubopt() again
I obtained the 3.0b14 and compiled it. The getsubopt() problem went away,
but now I'm seeing a new problem.
I sent myself an email message and verified it's arrival on my Linux box. I
then went to my Microsoft box and fired up Eudora. The POP3 conversation
(according to the packets I sniffed off the network) went something like this:
S: OK QPOP (version 3.0b14) at gandalf.network starting.
<21741.919277421 at gandalf dot network>
C: APOP rkidder [encrypted password]
S: +OK rkidder has 1 message(s) (339 octets).
Both boxes do some dancing around with changing port numbers for this
session before the
MS box changes back to 110 and sends the STAT command.
At some point during this exchange, Eudora complains of the following
error: "Closing
the connection, [02:14:27 PM] Error writing to network. Cause: connection
aborted due
to timeout or other failure (10053)"
The log output generated by popper looks something like this:
Wed Feb 17 14:15:09 1999 [25703] apop "rkidder"
Wed Feb 17 14:15:09 1999
Wed Feb 17 14:15:09 1999 [25703] Found top of first message
Wed Feb 17 14:15:09 1999
The email message was never transferred to the client.

Subject: Popper exec size seems too large
Hi all:
New to this list, so please excuse if this has been addressed b4
I've had a peek at a mailing list archive and did not see any mention.
I've just built popper 3.0B14 on a UltrasparcII with Solaris 2.7
using gcc Version 2.8.1 and GHU make 3.76.1
Previous versions of popper were had a filesize of something in the
125K range. The one I have just built is in the 775k range.
Should this be? any suggestions as to what I might have done wrong?
Pretty basic build, no options. Just ran configure and make
then copied the popper file from the /popper dir to /usr/lib

Subject: Re: getsubopt() again
It happens every time. And every time it follows the same pattern. My
Eudora client thinks there was some sort of failure and the Linux server
doesn't report a problem.
You're right about the port numbers. The client was binding to a different
random port number, but the server was on 110.
I did a "rm popper/popauth.o; make realclean; ./configure --
enable-apop=/etc/pop.auth --with-popuid=pop --enable-debugging; make" so=
I
might take advantage of any debugging info I might be able to generate.
Below is the log. It is interesting to note that all I did was add the
--enable-debugging and my authentication failed.
It's also interesting to note that I have to manually remove the
popper/popauth.o file. A "make clean" or "make realclean" doesn't do that.
I assume that's simply an oversight when the Makefile is created.

Hi,
We've got about 12000 email accounts on a single machine running BSDI,
and the disk i/o due to qpopper copying the mail spool back and forth
is starting to choke the machine.
We're not running qpopper in SERVER_MODE currently, but are using the
HASH_SPOOL=2 feature that assumes user's email is in /var/mail/u/s/user.
Can anyone explain exactly the issues of running qpopper in SERVER_MODE
while also running elm,pine,mail,Mail as mail reader programs plus
mail.local (the BSDI mail delivery agent) ? I find the qpopper
documentation weak on this point.

Hi all
Where I work, we're using Qpopper, nice product, but at some point, the logs
started to get flooded with errors like :
(v2.53) Unable to get canonical name of client, err = 0
or the other one
(v2.53) Unable to get canonical name of client, err = 60
Not very informative in my opinion, yes, you see that the error is either 60
or 0 (whatever that means), and that it's related to DNS. Strolling through
the code I notice this in pop_init.c, and yes, it's the reverse lookup that
fails. Now, I've included a patch that shows what IP the culprit is coming
from, but it's also available from http://www.mud.dk/~sps/qpopper for
versions 2.53, 3.0B13 and 3.0B14. The patch has also been sent to

One will be a temporary DNS lookup failure, the other permanent. :-)

Subject: Time Out - Help needed
I am running qpopper 2.5.3 and the timeout does not seem to work. For
example at Thu Feb 18 13:02:19 EST 1999 the following process was
running...
bintou41 11127 0.0 0.4 940 624 1 S 12:33 0:00
/usr/sbin/popper.2.5.3 -s -T 45 -b /var/spool/mail/popbulletins
As you can see from the following login record the customer had already
been logged out for 20 minutes!
bintou41 000:pm1.WM 204.141.216.150 Thu Feb 18 12:33 - 12:42 (00:08)
Am I correct in assuming from the docs that -T 45 is supposed to timeout
after 45 seconds or is it minutes?
Is this a known bug or am I doing something wrong? Willing to try 3.0betas
if this issue may already be fixed in the beta series.

45 seconds, but get rid of the space (-T45)
45 seconds is way too short, even for LAN use. For general ISP dialup,
you need to stick to the RFC-defined 600 seconds.

But why is the session I described still running after 20 minutes?
What is the default timeout in qpopper since it appears I had the -T
wrong?
