Correct. OK, that's not it either.
Have you tried running strace -f (or its equivalent) on inetd as the
pop3 session is run? That should show where the process is being
delayed. (DNS lookups?)

The "dele" command, used to delete messages, has the following syntax:
dele<SPACE><messagenumber> (where <SPACE> is the SPACE key)
Probably, Eudora is sending this wrong command to "qpopper", without <SPACE>.

Subject: Qpopper and PAM revisited
I am going nuts trying to get qpopper to work on a linux system. Details are:
Redhat 6.0 Sparc linux on an Ultra-Enterprise 1 server, qpopper3.0b18. I
found and applied the patch for qpopper-pam mentioned on this list a while
ago, and it didn't seem to make any difference. Every time I try to access
the pop server, it returns an error of "PAM failed to authenticate <user>"
(it used to just give the "wrong password" error before I applied the patch
so at least something is different).
I've tried everything I can think of twice. Can anyone give me a clue? I
seem to be all out.

Subject: Qpopper Hangs...
Greetings...
Allow me to explain my problem.
Our system is Solaris7 on a Sparc Ultra 5.
We are able to compile qpoper correctly.
When we telnet to it, we use a tast account "testpop"
we enter login name and password and then qpopper hangs.
Then we realize that the size of `.testpop.pop' is 0
Why could popper be unable to generate the file?
There are actually e-mail messages on the queue.
Relebant information:
- gcc is our compiler.
- NFS is being used.
Seems that the use of NFS is strictly necessary, if NFS is the cause,
could you recomend another popper that will work with NFS?

One (or more ?) of our users have received "Unable to process from lines"

The first line has strange characters like this:

Date: Fri, 25 Jun 1999 19:04:14 +0100
Hi!
When compiling qpopper2.53 under HP-UX B.10.20, I got the following error in
the configure script:
checking for POSIXized ISC... no
Will NOT compile in debugging code
./configure[991]: test: Specify a parameter with this command.
checking size of unsigned long int... 4
Editing line 991 and putting double quotes round $AUTH (so that it becomes
"$AUTH") fixed it. Perhaps this change should be included in the standard
distribution?
For what it's worth, here's a diff if you want to apply the changes that
way:
991c991
< if test $AUTH = "yes"; then
---
> if test "$AUTH" = "yes"; then
Hope that helped somebody, at least..!

Hello,
I just recently install the qpopper 3.0b server on my Redhat 6.0 sistem.
I must switch from ipop3d to qualcomm, because I have several problems
with my Win98 clients. They "hanged-up" and the middle of the message when
they try to download it (one or more...).
So, another problem with Netscape : after modifying the prefs.js file, the
problems are still the same with the Comunicator 4.x.
Also , I don't understand why I receive the following error message :
user......-ERR POP hangup
it depends on the sistem, or by the client ?????
Plese help...

Subject: Pop Password Changer.
I'm sorry if this is off topic, but I was wondering if anyone out there had
any experience with any of the pop password changers under Solaris 7 for
X86? I have set up poppassd many times, and never had this problem. I
have installed it properly, but when I give it the proper info, it fails to
change the password. It appears to be related to not recognizing the
/bin/passwd strings. I have set them up properly, and they appear to be
correct.
Anyone else seen this or have trouble with Solaris or Solaris x86? If you
have working source code, I'd appreciate having a look at it.
Thanks,
Chris

Subject: Re: timeout-problem
It's just a guess, but the problem may be that fetchmail keeps the
POP connection open while it sends the message using SMTP. This
additional delay (the SMTP transaction) causes the POP session to
time out. Try increasing the POP timeout by using the -t command
line option in your inetd.conf file.

Subject: problem with popauth/APOP on HPUX
(I found gperf, so please ignore my last message. But...)
I'm having trouble getting popauth to work. I've tried qpopper 2.3,
2.53, and now 3.0b18, all with essentially the same problem: I
initialize the database (/etc/pop.auth) using "popauth -init" (as
root), and then add myself as a user using "popauth -user windt". I'm
prompted for a password and it seems to complete without error. But
then "popauth -list" (as root) claims there is no user windt
authorized. Needless to say, trying to check for mail with Eudora
using APOP results in an error about not being authorized. (Using POP
works ok.)
Does anyone have any good suggestions?
Thanks,
David Windt

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a way to remotely change your
password on a mail server using QPopper without having to telnet to the
mailserver. I'm looking for something similar to the feature that Eudora
supports in that you can change your password from your email client via
port 106/tcp.
What I am trying to find a way for my company to allow users to change
their password in a GUI without having to try to explain to them how to use
a commandline and without rewriting a telnet application that converts
telnet input into a GUI output.
Thankyou for your help,

There is a password changer program on www.merula.net. This uses the
same mechanism that Eudora uses, and works on Win95/987/NT

Isn't it a question everyone must answer themselve? After all, Win95 isn't
officially beta, but was it ever useable (I don't know, don't have it).

Just a little nit in the INSTALL file in 3.0b18, it should read
"--enable-debugging" and not "--enable_debugging".
-d Enables debug logging if compiled (pass
--enable-debugging to ./configure).

Subject: POP Password Changing Enabling
Date: Fri, 2 Jul 1999 10:21:23 -0800
I recently got a hold of a program from Merula called POP3 Password Changer
which does the same sort of thing that Eudora does in that it allows users
to change their password via the tcp port 106. I was wondering if anyone
knows if QPopper supports this form of password changing and if so how do I
enable it. I tried to use it to change my password and I got an error
returned saying that the attempt to connect to my mail server (running
QPopper 3) was forcefully rejected. I am assuming that this is because the
port required to use this program is closed.
Thankyou for your help,

You can use the poppassd server (see

Check out ftp://ftp.newwave.net/pub/perl/scripts/ for PopPass:
PopPass - a CGI script in Perl to allow users to changes their password
using their Web Browser. PopPass uses poppassd version 1.2 to actually make
the password change. It can therefore run as an unprivileged user on any
Web server (not necessarily the server where the password file exists).

Date: Tue, 6 Jul 1999 11:57:56 -0400
Hi All,
I'm working on getting Qpopper set up on my RedHat 6 installation, for
service as our company's email server.
I guess the problem that I'm having is a conceptual one; Using Linuxconf,
there's an option to create a "POP [User] Account (mail only)". Using this
option creates a "regular" user account under /home/, but with no telnet
shell (/bin/false)(you immediately get "Connection Closed by Remote Host!").
I'm sure I read somewhere though, that you can create a POP account without
using a system login account, which sounds more secure to me. I'm really not
seeing any howtos, though, on how to "use" Qpopper, or POP3 in general in a
serving environment.
If anybody has any suggestions and/or URLs for more documentation, I'd
really appreciate it!
TIA,
Jon S. Jaques

Subject: qpopper and user accounts
A long time ago (perhaps in a galaxy far, far away) I
recall seeing a posting that claimed to enable sendmail
and qpopper to work together in such a way that the
recipient didn't need to have an entry in /etc/passwd
(a real account).
I can think of many situations where that would be useful,
and I wonder if that couldn't be incorporated into the mainstream
qpopper, somehow?
Does anyone have a pointer to these patches -- and I wonder
if they would work correctly with the current release.

Subject: qpopper and smtp authentication
This issue was tossed around a while ago, and I think
some standards were set. However, our internal
solution was to create a database that qpopper would
store the incoming POP user's IP address into upon
valid authentication. In turn, a couple of rules were placed
in the sendmail config that refer to this database before
it permits relaying.
It's a hack, but it works (and has for a long time). I wonder
if someone else has come up with this, or what the new standards
might dictate this should be. This functionality would be
very useful to have in the mainstream popper dist.

Have a look at http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/drac/
Sendmail 8.9.3 has supplementary rulesets which allow for a separate
authenticated access tables, which makes life a _lot_ easier.
DRAC takes multiple authentication methods (all require source code
hacks as a rule) and scales across server clusters as well as workingo n
single machines.

Subject: Bug in qpopper 3.0 BETA 18
From: Juergen Nickelsen <ni at tellique dot de>
Hello all:
Yesterday I seem to have found a bug in qpopper 3.0b18:
+OK QPOP (version 3.0b18) at gogh.tellique.de starting.
user test
+OK Password required for test.
pass XXXXXXXX
+OK test has 400 messages (197892 octets).
uidl 107
+OK 107 W!!,Y(!!Tj!!!SU'!!
uidl 107
-ERR Unknown command: "uidl".
quit
+OK Pop server at gogh.tellique.de signing off.
Popper does no longer know the command UIDL after fetching the UIDL of
message 107. It does, however, still know (at least some) other
commands. Fetching a UIDL of a message other than 107 seems to do no
harm (I did not check all). (The password is X'ed out, of course, but
it is normal in the way that it contains only printable characters.)
The mailbox file contains 400 generated test message of the same
format; message 107 is given below.

The platform is Solaris 7/x86; MTA is postfix-19990601. I built
qpopper with "./configure ; make" and copied the popper binary to
/usr/local/sbin/. The popper is called by inetd like this:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/popper -s
This also happened on a client's machine with Solaris 7/x86 and the
Sun-supplied sendmail, but I don't have access to that machine now. In
that case the offending message was number 29, so the problem seems
not to be tied to the message number.
I'd be happy to supply more details, if necessary, or even the mailbox
file (which is ~16 KB gzipped).
I don't have the time to hunt down the problem myself, and it is not
critical for me (as I can use the 2.53 version fine). I would be
interested to know if the problem has already been seen by someone
else or has even been solved.
Greetings, Juergen.

Subject: 2.52 upgrade to 3.0b18?
Hello... I'm currently using qpopper 2.52 but was interested in upgrading
to 3.0 beta 18 in order to get the "canonical" error "fixed". Any gotchas
with this upgrade, or will it be fairly painless? Any major known issues
in b18 that would cause me to hold off? What are the other differences
with 3.0? (I looked around for this last one but couldn't find anything of
substance)
Thanks in advance.

Date: Wed, 7 Jul 1999 16:28:28 -0400
Hi All,
I just determined, I think, that QPopper doesn't by default tell you to set
it up with tcp wrappers-- why not? Will it work with them?
Also, might anybody by any chance have any idea how QPopper compares to
ipop3d, the POP services which comes with RedHat?
TIA!

it will.
in inetd.conf:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/in.pop3d -s -R -T 120
in hosts.allow:
in.pop3d : ALL : ALLOW
or some permutation

Never used the RH stuff.

Hmmm, I'm thinking that "ipop3d" is actually "in.pop3d"; Or did you just
name the QPopper binary that? And if so, what are the switches? I've only
got "-s" in use, and the binary compiled with "--server".

I called it just that. It is qpopper-3b18.
-s == log stats (afair)
-R == don't do reverse DNS lookups of connects
-T 120 == set timeout to 120 seconds (violates RFC)
