Subject: qpopper 2.53 and Red Hat 6.0
Hello,
I've been running qpopper 2.53 on a Red Hat 6.0 system for a couple of months now and recently it began suddenly spawning many qpoppers until the
server came to a halt. It only seems to happen during relatively busy times. I can reboot the server and things return to normal. I've put the latest
version of inetd for Red Hat on there but that hasn't helped. I've also upped the number of connections inetd can spawn and that hasn't helped either.
Has anyone else experienced and/or solved this problem or maybe have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Kendall Lloyd

It hands it off to the MTA, which should bounce the non-existant user

I have been using qpopper version 2.52 up until now, and am in the process
of switching to version 3, although I seem to have a problem getting
version 3 to accept the HOMEDIR define which I have placed in config.h this
worked in 2.52, also when using Suns Solaris 7 ANSI compatible compiler it
complains about parameters being returned as void when they are originally
defined as type integer, it complains about various other bits and pieces
as well, I prefer using a Sun compiler on my machine as it results in
binaries half the size of that generated by gcc2.8.1
Any comments help etc appreciated.

First of all, thanks for the responses so far... I'm looking into them...
I also wanted to state that when the POP server is being unresponsive, I
also experience an inability to connect via telnet to the box... I will try
and open the telnet session, and my client will just sit there... eventually
(30-45 seconds or so) I will get connected and be able to login.
Is there a setting that limits the total number of TCP connections to
Solaris 2.5.1 irrelevant of what port they come in on?
additional thoughts welcome as always..
P.S. I'm running this box on a 100Mbps switched port. neither the switch
(Cisco 5500) nor the box itself (via netstat) report any errors/collisions

Subject: Preventing "Internal Folder" message from popping
Date: Wed, 21 Jul 1999 11:17:31 -0400 (EDT)
Hi,
I recently upgraded our pop server from the one distributed with PINE
to Qualcomm's. I did this because of the APOP feature. There is one
side-effect, however. It always downloads the subject:
"DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA".
Our users will frequently switch between popping e-mail and logging
into their shell account and using PINE (or whatever other client uses
IMAP such as IMP). Everytime one uses IMAP, the IMAP server will
automatically add the "DON'T DELETE..." message to their inbox. As
soon as one switches to POP, it redownloads the message, and the cycle
continues.
Are there any future plans to fix this, or better yet, has anyone
written a patch to get around this? Thanks a lot!

It's a Pine 4.x issue.
The fast workaround is to set "quell-folder-internal-msg" in
/usr/local/lib/pine-conf-fixed.

Subject: writing the pop-drop to tmpfs
Since I cannot guarantee popper will be the only program accessing the
mailbox in a user's home dir (we have shell users and we also support
imap) I cannot run in server-mode (or is there a trick?).
Since my biggest concern is with the pop-drops being written to /var/mail
and causing an average of 30% to 50% of busy time on the disks making up
the /var stripe, I was wondering if it would be totally insane (if at all
possible) to mount /var/mail as tmpfs (essentially a RAM disk) and thus
relieving the disks from the mostly needless writes? Since the pop-drop
is a copy of an existing mailbox (from the user's home directory) then
a system crash or reboot would make the drop dissapear, but that should
not matter, since the master copy of the mailbox is preserved on a real
disk anyhow. Worst case scenario I see is duplicate messages after a
crash.
If the idea of making /var/mail dissapear after a reboot is bad, perhaps
making popper write the pop-drops to some other directory which would be
tmpfs (ie. /tmp :) would be more reasonable? Or not?
I would like to hear some comments about this people might have - any and
all input would be of tremedous vaule to me. If it's insane, tell me,
and tell me why. If it could work, tell me. If you think it will work,
great, let me know.

Subject: Qpopper Unresponsiveness Update II
Date: Thu, 22 Jul 1999 10:17:43 -0400
There are several TCP parameters that regulate connections to a SUN Solaris
box. All of the parameters I tuned (so far) can be done with the ndd
command.
I highly recommend the book "Sun Performance and Tuning" by Adrian Cockcroft
and Richard Pettit. I had heard previously from several sources that this
book is great, and that Adrian is the SUN performance god (not my words or
opinion, yet)
any ways... here are the parameters I tuned and their descriptions:
1) tcp_conn_req_max_q
The maximum number of completed connections waiting to return from an accept
call as soon as the right process gets some CPU time. # of conn reqs in
SYN_RCVD - "fully-established" connections - those which have finished the
3-way
handshake and are waiting to be picked up by an "accept()" call.
(default value 128) changed to 512
to modify: /usr/sbin/ndd -set /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q 512
to check current setting: /usr/sbin/ndd -get /dev/tcp tcp_conn_req_max_q
2) tcp_conn_req_max_q0
The maximum number of connections with handshake incomplete. A SYN flood
attack could only affect this queue, and a special algorithm makes sure that
valid connections can still get through. "half-open" connections - those
which have responded to a SYN request and are waiting for the final ack to
come back to finish the 3-way handshake
(default value 1024) changed to 1536
3) tcp_close_wait_interval
Despite the misleading name, this variable actually sets the time wait
interval (the 2MSL value).
(default value is 240000 ms (4 minutes)). changed to
60000 ms (1 minute)
my own description for this value... AFTER both client and server agree that
the TCP connection is finished and should be closed, this value states how
long that connection remains active, waiting for any remaining packets
relating to this connection to be delivered. 4 minutes seems like an
exceedingly long time to me. The minimum recommended value for this
parameter is 60000
so far so good... (fingers crossed and kneeling while I pray... )
thanks again for all response so far, I've tried to reply to everyone, but I
did get flood with suggestions, and may have missed some. If this solves
the problem, I will post a final update.

2 Weeks of messing around - but now I have the solution !!!!!!!
I have installed RH 6.0 for SPARC using shadow password AND md5 password. It
seems, that the encryption of crypt() creates not the same password like
passwd does (perhaps a problem in my pam.d directory in the 'login' and
'other' file - anyone an idea ???).
I disabled the MD5 password encryption in the setup tool, (IMPORTANT: ) set
up the same passwords again with passwd (because otherwise the password
stays the same in /etc/shadow !!!) AND IT WORKED !!!!
Cyrus IMAP is working fine, and now I check qpopper again.....

I'm getting these on a new server that's running Qpopper 3.0b18
under Freebsd 3.2-STABLE.
The log shows:

This only seems to be affecting Mac users, who are using Outlook
as the mail client. Our PC users using Pegasus don't seem to be
having any problems.
I see from the archives that this has been mentioned already, but I
didn't find a cure mentioned ? Is there a fix for this ?

Yeah, I did all that. I understand what needs to be done but I've never
had much luck with qpopper for some reason. I re-did everything and have it
working from inetd now (don't know what I differently) but I get the same
error message when I start it from the command line. When I try to start it
in server mode I simply type the same thing I have in the inetd.conf file.
Is that not correct? That is "/usr/local/src/qpopper3.0/popper/popper -s -R
-T 120 -d". I have tried putting an "&" at the end but it does the same
thing. Am I missing something? It seems like it doesn't know to start in
server mode even though I compiled it with the proper option.

I must be confusing qpopper with another pop3 server. I thought it had the
ability to run standalone without requiring inetd. It works fine so far but
not standalone.

Subject: qpopper and attachments weirdnesses
Greetings,
I've been running qpopper 2.53 on an IBM RS/6000 under AIX 4.3.2.
Once in a while, users who have attachments that they're downloading to
their machines will be fine for a while, but then their incoming mail in
/usr/spool/mail gets goofy. They will call and tell me that they can't
download their email, with errors that might say "improper envelope" or
even "inbox is not in mail format". When I look at their mail, rather
than the first message starting with the regular mail header, it is
usually somewhere in the middle of an attachment. I usually have to
delete this portion of the message in order to get their mail working
again. Have any of you experienced similar problems?

joe,
i've had the same problem (qpopper 2.53 on linux), although mine only
manifested with clients running mdeamon receiving large attachments. i
eventually had a cron job that cleaned up these broken spools. i noticed
that when it was happening to me, the lock file wasn't being deleted so it
was pretty quick to scan all the stale lock files and check for problems in
the appropiate spool. unfortunately i believe that this results in lost
attachments.
the problems went away when i upgraded to the latest version of qpopper
(3.0b18) and compiled it in server mode. while i was initially
apprehensive about running beta code for something as mission critial as
pop, i have had zero problems since upgrading.
regards,
byron

Subject: poppassd
I found a message in the archives of the qpopper list regarding a password
changing utility that runs along side of qpopper.
We have been using a VMS system running Multinet as our POP server for many
years. The VMS system is being retired in another month and we are
migrating POP users to a Compaq Tru64 Unix server (a.k.a. a DEC Alpha
running Digital Unix) running qpopper.
Everything seems to be working fine with qpopper on the Unix server except
that our users miss the ability to change passwords via Eudora. Could
someone point me to the poppassd utility for Compaq's Tru64 Unix (with
shadow passwords)?
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

We're running qpopper3.0b16 in server mode on linux and we've seen it
once or twice, so I think it's still in 3.0 whatever it is,

Hello,
do anyone successfully use Netscape and APOP? I have installed QPopper
v3.018b and configured with APOP and some users to /etc/pop.auth.
Additionally I have installed sslwrap v2.02-1 and run it with inetd on
port 995. sslwrap will encrypt incoming POP requests and send it to
localhost:110, i.e. to QPopper. But every time I try to get mail with
Netscape (mailhost:995) nothing happens. In the logfile of QPopper
(debugging enabled) is an error message: "-ERR POP EOF received".
Any suggestions?

About the Netscape : check the qpopper doc about the Netscape support;
you must check the prefs.js file to insert a new option.

Look in config.h for:
#define POP_MAILDIR
That should be what you're looking for.

RTFM, he just told you how to do it.
Alternatively, hack the pathname into popper/pop_dropcopy.c

I've just installed qpopper 2.53 on my linux server... kinda easy...
a little problem with the shadow passwords but now it's ok. =]
Now the tricky part: When i try to send an e-mail to any of the
server users i get a "relaying denied" message followed by a "user
unknown" (???) message.

I've tried with more than one smtp server and i always get this
messages.
PS: The "lhgm" account was created *before* qpopper instalation.
Thanks in advance.

Sendmail (or another SMTP-server) is troubling you. try to put your
IP-range in /etc/mail/relay-domains (or another file that defines your
relaying domains).

Make sure you define that by IP range only. Putting in a domain name
usually opens up a spammer access hole.

Hello!
This is the first time that I need to add kerberos support to qpopper3.0b18,
usually typing ./configure and make were enough to have the binaries, but
not now that I have kerberos v5-1.0.6 running and need the kpop service.
Anyone who has had this experience and tell me what to add to the Makefile
built by configure or modifications to other files in order to add kerberos
support to qpopper.
Comments are appreciated.
Thank you.

You don't create Qpopper accounts you create an account for that box.
Best way to do this is, under shell(while creating the account), put
/bin/noshell. It won't let them telnet in.
