Subject: virtual user
I am running qpopper 2.53 on FreeBSD 3.2-Stable.
Question:
I have several domains hosted on this machine. www.domain-1.com,
www.domain-2.com, www.domain-3.com.
I have 3 users, they happens to request the same EMAIL ID (pop ID) and
that is: bill
i.e, all 3 users want their email to be:
bill at domain-1 dot com
bill at domain-2 dot com
bill at domain-3 dot com
I can only create ONE user with ID bill on my unix box. I was thinking if
qpopper allows me to make a virtual table, and sends bill at domain dot com as
the ID, and once the id is verified, it allows it to retrieve emails from
another ID.
example:
# virtual email host real ID that has the mails
bill at domain-1 dot com bill1
bill at domain-2 dot com bill2
bill at domain-3 dot co bill3
......
and so on.
Can qpoper be setup and do that??
Thanks very much for your help.

Subject: Re: virtual user
I take it that Qpopper does not support name based virtual users, only the
IP based ones? I was wondering if you required the user to use their whole
e-mail address for the "USER" command, it might be able to treat them
seperately in that cas? Perhaps this would be a good feature request?

Subject: unable to open POP authorization DB

I have problems making APOP work on my Red Hat Linux 6 Intel server.
The error message is:

I suspect that it has to do with the permissions or owner of in.qpopper, =

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Try using the latest 3.0 beta -- it fixes a number of problems with APOP.

Subject: Qpopper compile problems (& PAM question)
I'm new to the mailing list but have done my best to check the archives
before posting this so any/all help would be most appreciated.
First up I'm using a RedHat 6.0 system that is fully patched (as far as
RedHat errata) and 3.0b18 of qpopper.
This works:
./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --enable-servermode
--enable-bulletins=/var/spool/bulls --enable-specialauth
make
But if I try editing the makefile in between to enable DB support for
bulletins:
DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBULLDB
Then I get this error:
gcc -c -I.. -I.. -I. -I../mmangle -g -O2 -fstrength-reduce
-fpcc-struct-return -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBULLDB -DLINUX -DUNIX pop_bull.c
-o pop_bull.o
pop_bull.c: In function `pop_bull':
pop_bull.c:172: `LOCK_EX' undeclared (first use in this function)
pop_bull.c:172: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
pop_bull.c:172: for each function it appears in.)
pop_bull.c:179: `LOCK_UN' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [pop_bull.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/qpopper3.0/popper'
make: *** [popper_server] Error 2
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?
Also is there anyone out there who's patched the source to support PAM
as I'd ideally like to use a PAM module to authenticate users against
our RADIUS database rather then keeping multiple copies of
username/password info all over the place.
Thanks
Jon

This is not possible with the POP protocol, but the Internet Message
Access Protocol (IMAP) is designed exactly for this kind of access. See
RFC 2060 and <http://www.imap.org/> for details.

Subject: APOP, DRAC, sane policies, coexistence, etc.
Hello, all.
I've been browsing the archives trying to find info about which user
agents support APOP (I know Eudora does, but I have several users with
Outlook and Netscape, among other clients.) All I can find are suggestions
related to ssh tunneling, which is an option, but we have several POP-only
users and they are not known to be the savviest bunch in the world, so I'm
hesitant to make that recommendation. :)
My biggest concern right now is making sure that my users with shell
accounts aren't sending their plaintext password over the wire. POP-only
accounts are less of a concern. I'm also considering ftp/pop-only accounts
for users with shell accounts, and restricting telnet access completely
and forcing shell users to use ssh. (I already use TCPWrappers, etc. but
have several roamers on ISP dialups.) In any case, I'm aware that APOP is
just part of a complete security solution.
Currently, I'm running a hacked version of 2.52 (with DRAC POP-before-SMTP
and a few other hacks to reduce the amount of unnecessary log noise, and
some to add to the log noise, e.g., print the IP address of users with bad
inverse resolution, etc.) I'm happy to see that some of the things I did
to my own version are now listed as part of the 3.0 distribution. :)
I want to upgrade to 3.0, and have successfully compiled the server and
popauth, but haven't yet tested the DRAC patch. I have a few questions
first.
Is anyone here running qp3.0b18/apop on a different port, and if so, are
you also running with the DRAC patch? Does it affect the dracd server or
db? IOW, is there any interference between calling dracd from 3.0
vs. 2.52, on different ports? I don't believe there /should/ be, as
everything goes through the portmapper, but was curious to hear any
feedback from others who have successfully done the same thing.
I've read the RFC (1460) which discusses APOP, but I'm curious as to exactly
how it works. Is the "shared secret" referred to in the RFC just the user's
password?
I'm running RedHat 4.2/libc5/kernel 2.2.3, are there any known issues with
this platform and the current beta of qpopper?
Any and all feedback (including pointers to any FAQ docs) is appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

You sort of have a choice between:
1) The password going in the clear over the wire
2) The password being in the clear on the server (APOP)
3) Public key crypto like SSL or SSH
CRAM-MD5 is somewhat of an upgrade to APOP, but probably less widely
deployed. The password is not in the clear on the server like APOP, but
if you get the form of the password that's on the server and know what to
do with it you can authenticate yourself.
SCRAM-MD5 is an even better version CRAM-MD5 but I don't think anyone's
deployed it.
The big problem with APOP, CRAM and SCRAM is that you can use the
password in /etc/passwd. You have to have a separate database.
The best solution is really SSL. That encrypts all the mail transfered as
well as the password, and you can stay compatible with /etc/passwd. The
problem is not many clients or servers implement it yet. "stunnel" is a good
front end to SSL secure a server. SSL secured POP is usually on port 995.
SSH is pretty much the same security-wise as SSL, though when SSL gets
put into POP clients and servers it will be much easier to configure than
SSH. Hopefully SSL will become more common soon when the RSA algorithm
patent expires (just one more year).

Date: Mon, 16 Aug 1999 19:26:43 -0700
Hi,
I was wondering how does qpopper handle virtual hosts? For instance, here is
the ideal setup I would like to have.
I would like to have mnany virtual hosts (seperate domain names), each host
has about 100 pop users. Now say if I want to be able to have a user login
into mail.username.com and then be able to give their simple username like
JOE (which is for joe at username dot com) to login. Is this possible? That way my
users will be able to use simple usernames and won't have to worry about
another user on the mailserver taking it. I also don't want to use unix user
accounts. Is there anyway this layout could be configured? I did this with
ftp using proftpd. Each VHOST has a seperate authuserfile which is formatted
exactly like a unux etc/passwd file but it's just for the vhost logins. That
way I can let them have whatever login name they want and as many accounts
as they want. I would like to do the same thing for my mail accounts. Have
each vhost have a seperate authenticating file for all the pop users at that
domain. Is this possible? Is there anywhere that documents this? Thanks for
all your help and please email me if you don't understand.

Regarding trying to compile Qpopper 3.0b18 with G/DBM support for the

I posted a little while back saying I couldn't get this to work.
I've since found a rather simple solution.
The problem again in brief (on a RedHat 6.0 system anyway):
When attempting to compile qpopper with:
./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --enable-servermode
--enable-bulletins=/var/spool/bulls --enable-specialauth
And editing the $SRCDIR/popper/Makefile to enable G/DBM support for
bulletins:
DEFS = -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DBULLDB
An error is produced when attempting to perform a make:
pop_bull.c: In function `pop_bull':
pop_bull.c:172: `LOCK_EX' undeclared (first use in this function)
pop_bull.c:172: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
The solution:
1. Edit $SRCDIR/popper/pop_bull.c to include:
#ifdef BULLDB
#include <sys/file.h>
#endif

Sure. Just download the source and write your own spec file. :)
Ta-da! An RPM format qpopper.
Seriously, what sort of RPM? SRPM? For what architecture? What version
of RedHat? Compiled? For what C library (libc5 or libc6)? With or without
APOP and DRAC hacked into it?
I could probably get you an i386.libc5.rh42 RPM, later tonight, hacked to
support DRAC and APOP. But you'd be better off just looking in the usual
places:
http://www.rpmfind.net
http://www.freshmeat.net
RedHat's ftp site isn't down, just busy. You may also want to try to use
a mirror, of which there are dozens:

Hello,
I have just configured my pop server with qpopper and apop
support. I have checked the configuration with fetchmail and it
works, but I can't read mail from a mail client like Netscape
Messenger, because I have an error message that says thas has ocurred
problem while sending the user command to the pop server.
Does anybody know wich mail clients support apop

Subject: Getting qpopper to start sessions
Hello,
I installed qpopper like it says but when I telnet to pop3 it connects and
then disconnects real quick. Checked /var/log/messages and it says
permission denied when inetd tries to start it.

What permissions should the directories and the popper file have to
automatically run
when called by users
When I 'telnet mail pop3' this is what happens :

first thing to check is the actual mail box file. See if there are 24
copies of the mail in there before you pop it, if so then it's not your
popper that's at fault but your local mail delivery agent or soething
further up the chain,

Auuuuugggg! :)
I've been trying for a week to get a qpopper installed and running to no
success. I cant find any good Install directions? Anyone know where I
might find some. I am using (mandrake) Red Hat Linux 6.0. I also dont know
what RPM I should download. I understand I should get it from
contrib\libc6\ i386? or SRPMS? Whats the diference between RPMS and SRPMS?
Every time I download an RPM it doesnt have the same file size at the
source?
I was able to get my sendmail working just fine, that was supposed to be the
hard part! I can send and recieve mail but I cant connect using port 110
for my POP3. the error is that it cant find /usr/sbin/ipop3d. That file
does not exisit.
Also, when I install the qpopper using rpm -i file I get no errors that the
install didn't work but if I use the -e option to uninstall it says that it
is not installed?
Im usually not this slow? lol, any help appreciated...

1) try the FAQ
http://www.eudora.com/freeware/qpop_faq.html
2) try the documentation that comes with qpopper - start with 'INSTALL':
ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper/
3) try 'man inetd'

It depends on your system. I assume that since you're running Mandrake, a
system comprised of RedHat binaries optimized for i686, that you'll want to
either use a qpopper optimized for i686 as well, or build it from source.
> Whats the diference between RPMS and SRPMS?
RPM is RedHat Package Manager. An RPM file is usually a binary package
(already compiled). If you want someone else's idea of the best executable
for your system, just use .rpm. If you want the Source, get the _S_RPM.

That's because it contains a binary, not the source.

1) compile qpopper.
2) cp qpopper /usr/sbin/in.qpopper
3) change the line in /etc/inetd.conf from 'ipop3d' to 'in.qpopper'
4) restart inetd
5) try checking POP mail
If that doesn't work, try reading the INSTALL document, the README, and the
FAQ, in that order :)

Sounds like the install failed - try using -v or -vv next time, to see what
it's doing.

Hi David !
If you are using sendmail 8.9.X, the default behavior is deny relay all
e-mails from domains that are not listed in /etc/mail/realy-domains. You
must configure the sendmail to look some file that lists the domains that
you desire sendmail relays.
