if you have shadow passwords installed (I think yes), try to add
a -DAUTH parameter to Makefile. In my system ( RH 6, shadow + MD5 ) it
looks like ( part of Makefile ) :

This comes from pop_exit() in popper.c, and appears to be a result of a
read() on the socket (in myfgets()) returning 0 or -1 (ie. client close
or socket error). It would be useful if the code logged strerror(errno)
if there was actually an error, to help in diagnosis. I expect this
would be done in pop_msg.c, in the "stat != POP_SUCCESS" path near the
end of the file.

Subject: Error Message: -ERR POP EOF received
Hello,
I hope somebody can help me, because the problem results in frequently
manual edits of user mailboxes. It seems that the reason, is the
transfer encoding 8bit for MIME-attachments.
While people are accessing their mailboxes, the qpopper 2.52 often
generates error messages like this:
popper[14711]: name at host dot dom -ERR POP EOF received.
The users can not access their mailboxes, if that error occures.
Thanks in advance for any help or tips.

Hello All,
The Setup :
Our company has got a registered domain(www.realdomain.com ) with e mail ids
for all employees. The server provides POP facility too. We d/l & distribute
all the mails to the respective mailboxes in our local mail server running
sendmail 8.8.7 & qpopper on RH5.2 Linux using fetchmail-sendmail-procmail
combination.
The Problem:
I want to force every one in the organization to send and receive mails only
through our local mail server . That is prevent anyone from connecting
directly to the realdomain.com pop server through their mail client ( like
MS Outlook). We have a leased line internet connection.
How do i go about it ? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Manoj

Best way would be to use a firewall, but TCP wrapper can also be used to
restrict access.
BTW Why dont you upgrade your sendmail as well? there are rpm's out there
which can make your life easier if you find it difficult to update by
compiling.

One way to force them to log into the local mail server is to set up an
access list on your router.
You can either block everyone in your network from connecting to the IP
address of the realdomain mail server or preferably just block the TCP POP
port on the router.
Let me know what type of router you have and I'll send you instructions

Do you have shadow passwords? If you do you will need to run configure

Go ahead and find yourself some superior software.
While you are at it, find an email list that cares to hear your broad
complaints that offer no technical backing at all then send trash like
this to them instead.
Better yet-- write this superior software yourself while you still

Hello,
Yes, you can use dbs other than gdbm and (ancient) dbm. However, your
DB must have backwards compatiblity with either of the to listed above. I.E.
Ndbm includes in it's header files, support for dbm.
This, in my option, is a flaw is qpopper, that it will not support
other DBs natively, such as Berkeley DB2. However, I lack both the time and
experience to write the inclusions my self.

Hi...
I'm quite new to this whole stuff and have the following question. I have
compiled compiled qpopper2.53 without the apop authentication and I am not
able to atheticated to the server. I have created a user test with password
test. Even when telnet"ing" to port 110 locally and trying to log in I get
these lines in my syslog.
popper: Unable to get canonical name of client, err = 111
popper: test at [192.168.116 dot 240]: -ERR Password supplied for "test is
incorrect"
What am I doing wrong. How do I have to set up a user being able to fetch
mail? Is there anything I have to take care of when building qpop?
Btw. I have a linux box using RedHat 6.0 (2.2.5-15 Kernel).
Thanks for any hints...

Subject: Install question
Date: Fri, 12 Nov 1999 12:10:00 -0500
Hello everyone...
I am fairly new to UNIX in general and have just installed RedHat linux 6.1.
I am having difficulty getting qpopper to install. I have extracted the
files into a directory I made called qpopper, and everything seemed fine to
that point. In the INSTALL directions, I am supposed to run ./configure and
make. When I run configure it tells me:
creating cache ./config.cache
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... no
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH
When I try and run make it says command not found. I have my inetd.conf and
services ports setup correctly, I believe.... but maybe not the location of
the qpopper file. When I try to telnet to the pop3 port, it says connection
closed by foreign host, which supposedly means my program cannot be located
or is failing on startup...
Has anyone encountered this, or can anyone help me...please!!!!
E.H.

Sounds to me like you don't have a c compiler, which is what cc refers to
(or Gnu C Compiler -> gcc).
If you install a c compiler you probably won't get the error message again.
Gnu C compiler can be downloaded from
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html.
Hope this helps!

You probably did not install the compiler from the RPM's...Check your

1) make sure your clients have canonical names. :)
2) if you have a lot of clients whose reverse IP isn't setup properly,
or you don't care about whether it is or not, hack the offending
error message out of qpopper.
Look in pop_init.c, around line 280 or so.

Forgive my ignorance, I don't know much about DNS. I have an NT
server(172.16.1.2) running DNS, qpopper is running on a FreeBSD
server(172.16.1.3) with no DNS. The FreeBSD server has the NT server as its
primary DNS server. Most of my clients are assigned an IP from the DHCP
running on the NT server (range is from 172.16.11.1 through 172.16.11.254.
Users that are not on DCHP have static IPs within the range 172.16.10.1

Hi, I have some problem with the email.
1) Sometime, I could not log on to POP3 server via Eudora or Netscape, it
says my passwords doesn't right, but actaully, my passwd IS right, the
problem is that there is a username.lock file under /var/spool/locks
directory on mail server, everything will be OK if that file gets manually
deleted.
2) Another problems is that sometimes, I got concatenated mails, that means
I received one mail, but that mail includes several mails in there.
3) I usually left my mails on server, the 3rd problem is that Eudora light
3.05 could not retrieve any new emails, despite that there ARE several new
emails, everything will be OK if I delete the first new email which can not
be downloaded, and the rest of them can be downloaded afterwards.
I think it it the problem of POP3 server. Any suggestion will be
appreicated.

The easiest way is to read the following manpages:

- inetd.conf(8)
- hosts_access(5)
- tcpd(8)
It is not qpopper that does ident lookups, but inetd and/or tcpd.

Do you use procmail v3.10 as the delivery agent? If so, upgrade to
the current version.
If not, please answer the following questions, as I am trying to
determine if there is a bug in qpopper, and if so, to fix it. This
will really help us out.
(1) What type of spool file corruption you see (open the spool file
in an editor and see what looks to be the problem, for example, is
the first character "f" instead of "F"? If you want, you can
compress the spool file and send it in to me (not to the list).
(2) How often the corruption occurs
(3) Can you reproduce it?
(4) Hardware type
(5) OS name and version
(6) System library name and version
(7) Version of qpopper being used
(8) ./configure options used
(9) Compile-time macros and settings used
(10) inetd.conf line used to run qpopper
(11) Version of sendmail used
(12) Name and version of local delivery agent (the "Mlocal" line from
your sendmail.cf file would be very helpful as well).
Thank you very much for your help.

Subject: ERR POP EOF received (possible solution)
I noticed in my log files that the above error occurred 1-3 times a day
for 2 users, and was always immediately preceded by a kernel message
that the source address was being rewritten from my external public
address to my internal private address. My clients are configured to
use the external address, in case the machine is taken off-site.
(I'll also note that on further inspection, I'm also seeing a "socket
error" in my own PMMail that coincides with the Qpopper POP EOF error.
I hadn't noticed it previously as I leave my client running and the
error was always getting silently logged before I got into the office.)
I chased the kernel message down into the 2.0.36 kernel source code
(/usr/src/linux/net/ipv4/ip_output.c, look for "shifting saddr from
%s") and found that the rewriting is occuring as a result of a non-zero
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr, which is normally used to allow dynamic
address rewriting for systems without a static IP address. I had used
the value 7 to get verbose rewriting with RST packets sent when the
external address changed. (See
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip_dynaddr.txt.)
I recently changed my ISP from a dial-up to a DSL account, and now have
a static IP for my external interface, so I changed my startup scripts
to restore the ip_dynaddr value to zero. I'll report back if this
appears to cure the EOF errors.

Hmm,
Those two should negotiate without difficulty. Are you compiling

edit config.h, change the definition of POP_MAILDIR.
(perhaps this is another for the faq?)

You need to run ./configure --enable-specialauth. Check the INSTALL
file for information about shadow passwords.
Try:
make realclean
./configure --enable-specialauth
make

I finally got qpopper to compile.... when I try to telnet to port 110, it
tells me connection closed by foreign host. what is the correct line I
should have in my inetd.conf file? Now, I have :
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /root/qpopper3.0b20/popper
popper -s
Thanks alot.....
