Subject: Re: .pop file
If all you want to know is when someone has popped their mail, check the
logfile. In my case, try /var/log/messages. If you want a .pop file
created *while* someone is checking their mail, that is something else
entirely. Unless you run qpopper in server mode, all mail is copied from
the mail spool folder to a poptemp location with filenames of the form
.user.pop -- *while* you're downloading mail. On my system spool files are
in /var/spool/mail, .user.pop files are in /var/spool/poptemp.
Cheers,
Darin

I would do this as root to locate the .pop files... use a USERNAME that you
know has checked mail.
find / -name .USERNAME.pop -print
if that does not find anything try:
find / -name USERNAME.pop -print
Let me know if that doesn't work.
Thanks,
John.

My problem is, when user check his/her email, qpopper did not create .pop

Probably this is SERVER MODE, I installed the compiled version QPOPPER

I think I need to download the source code , and compile it by myself, and
do not use SERVER MODE

Try this near the end of pop_user.c:
if(strlen(p->user) > 8) p->user[8] = '\0';
It'll 'snip' the pointer to 8 chars, meaning if your users can still login
using long usernames, but they are authenticated with the system using 8
char usernames.

Qpopper writes log entries when users check their mail. You can use
this if you like.
If you run Qpopper in Server Mode, then it normally won't create the
.user.pop files. If you run in Normal Mode it does, but it deletes
them at the end of the session. However, you can add
-DKEEP_TEMP_DROP to your Makefiles and then Qpopper won't delete the
file.

Howdy. Been a month or so since I last asked, and I got no response last
time, so one more time: Is that qpopper-announce list that was previously
confirmed as being in the works any closer to reality?
I'd like to slow the flow into my mailbox -- I don't need to get mail from
people asking about MRTG, etc. I just want to be informed when new versions
of Qpopper are released and when security holes are found.

Subject: Compiling Challenge
--=====================_73715527==_.ALT
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed
Hello Everyone,
I have a compiling problem.
But first let me say that I CAN compile 2.53 without problems.
I can also compile the latest Beta as long as I don't use --enable-specialauth.
Unfortunately I have to use it. 2.5.3 compiles fine with the option but the
last six betas will not.
I use Tru64 4.0f, gcc 2.95 and I've tried this on several servers and two
compilers, all with very similar error messages.
I know this has something to do with the rpc header files but because 2.5.3
works it leads me to believe there is a problem in the qpopper coding.
This is what I see. I appreciate any help you can give us.

Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
I have a compiling problem.<br>
But first let me say that I CAN compile 2.53 without problems.<br>
I can also compile the latest Beta as long as I don't use
<font size=3>--enable-specialauth.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I have to use it. 2.5.3 compiles fine with the option but
the last six betas will not.<br>
I use Tru64 4.0f, gcc 2.95 and I've tried this on several servers and two
compilers, all with very similar error messages.<br>
<br>
I know this has something to do with the rpc header files but because
2.5.3 works it leads me to believe there is a problem in the qpopper
coding.<br>
<br>
This is what I see. I appreciate any help you can give us.<br>

Subject: Changing Passwords using Eudora Client
Greetings,
Is it possible to change a users password on a system running NIS using the Eudora Client? I see the feature in the pulldown menu but I don't know what the server needs to do this.
I am running qpopper 2.5.2.
Thank you,
Mike Grawet

About a month ago I upgraded O.S. to Solaris 2.7 and installed Qpopper
2.5.3, I am still unable to get users to authenticate with user/pass from
Eudora. I used the previous version of Qpopper and poppassd on Solaris 2.4
before the upgrade and this worked fine. I'm not sure if I configured
everything right this go around and I'm uncertain on how to configure
popauth or if I should even be using this for authentication
purposes. Please advise.
Thanks in advance,

there's a pop password daemon on the qualcomm ftp site. you'll probably need
to edit the source if you're using a newish solaris: the passwd dialogue
has changed a bit.

Subject: Error With Qpopper
I'm running Version 3.0 Beta 32 and the popper randomly dies and logs
this:
Feb 8 15:12:40 mail01 inetd[353]: pop3/tcp server failing (looping),
service terminated
I'm running the daemon from inetd, and the only way I can get the popper
working again is by kill -1 inetd. I had this same probblem with Beta 32.
It's very random, seemingly. Any ideas?

popauth is a utility to manipulate the APOP database. Any user which
has an entry in this database will be unable to check mail using
USER/PASS -- only APOP can be used.
If you want your users to use USER/PASS, don't put them in the APOP database.
If you want your users to login using APOP (and thus not send their
passwords in the clear over the network) put them in the APOP
database and tell them to set their clients to use APOP.

I have been trying to get qpopper to work, but it seems that I am only
about to retrive my messages and not send them.
I have attached 2 files, debug-qp.txt is the debug from qpopper while
trying to send messages by both netscape, and internet exporer.
debug-ie.txt is the output from trying to send from Internet Exporer.
The following is the error message from Netscape:
Status: Connect: Contacting host: mail.807-city.on.ca...
There was no response. The server could be down or is not responding.
Which is strange, because before I tried to send a message, I retreived 3
messages from to server. So it was connected.
I hope this is enough info. Thanx in advance...

Qpopper is a mail retrieval daemon. It does nothing to send
messages. Your problem is not a qpopper issue. Consult the

You are not running qpopper, but POP3D. This is highlighted by the fact that
your error message contains "does'nt get his mail here" and also:
ns# telnet mail.807-city.on.ca 110

Read your POP3D docs or consult the POP3D mailing list. Incidentally, it's

This is simply Netscape probing for features that your POP3 server does not

about.

Hi all. First time on the list.
I was having a problem that I thought was related to my older version

There's a serious bug in qpopper3.0b33, in pop_lower.c
for ( mp = buf; *mp; mp++ )
was changed to
for ( mp = buf; *mp != '0'; mp++ )
Since this function is called during pop_get_command, this prevents
any uppercase in anything, most importantly passwords.

Subject: Fw: IMAP4 Server Data-DO NOT DELETE
Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2000 16:30:42 -0500
Hi!
I'm brand new to qpopper and I am simply amazed at how easy it is to get
running! I do have one (probably newbie) problem...
I currently run Solaris 2.51. and 2.7 on two Sun servers, and they both run
the crappy ipop3d software that comes with Solaris. On our one server (the
2.5.1 server) we have over 5000 pop3 accounts, and performance is terrible.
The Sun support guys suggested I install qpopper, as it is what most ISP's
use. SOOO... the problem is that when I installed it and ran it on my 2.7
box (just a test/backup box) I got the following message delivered to my
inbox. I know this is just the IMAP4 data, and we don't even allow IMAP4
usage.
I know that this message is in most of my 2.5.1 mail boxes. 5000 people all
downloading a message that says "Server Data-DO NOT DELETE" is obviously
going to generate support calls. Is there any way around this? Is there a
way to make qpopper work similar to ipop3d (that's my current pop3 daemon,
and it appears to leave this message on the server).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Definitely a bug, but not that which you think.
Instead of '0', the character should be '\0' - the NUL character. This
does not change the meaning of the code in C, but rather is a change to
"say what you mean" - which should have been a change for the better.
[Which makes more sense: "If letter 'a' then do this" or "If letter 'a'
is not the NUL character then do this"?]
The way it is written, changing bytes would have ended at the first '0'
["character zero"] instead of the first NUL byte. That might have
caused transformation to end early, but more likely would have caused
the byte transformation to continue well off the end of the buffer -
possibly causing all sorts of other problems, including stack corruption
and a crash.
Hmmm! Now I am going to go examine all of the changes again myself.

I just saw a message about this recently in comp.mail.imap and it was
suggested that this message speeds startup of the ipop3d and imap
servers.
As you have to take down the server's POP3 capability to install
qpopper, you can at the same time run a script against all your spool
files that finds and removes this message from each file.

Hmmm! Sun changed the message. Or that's a very old version.
Ipop3d is the University of Washington POP daemon, that is part of the
IMAPD package. That's the only reason that it silently leaves that
message in there. I think I even read somewhere that ipop3d uses imapd
to do its mail operations. ;-]
When we moved to Q 'popper', we just told all of our users that they
should delete that message. At one point I was going to go through
and yank them out ... or write a program that would lock the mail file,
search for that message, and surgically excise it ... but we still
don't have a perfectly stable POP daemon, so we haven't made our
absolutely final decision which way we're going. UofW's current version
is OK - Sun probably included an old one - but qpopper is still better,
even though all the warts haven't yet been filed off. On SPARC Linux,
ipop3d was installed by default, and worked fine. But we needed a more
powerful mail server, and Linux for this hardware is still in the alpha
testing stages. ;-)

I'd like to put in a kluge to have Qpopper ignore this message. Is
the Subject invariate among the versions? Is it always the first
message, or are there any other invariant conditions?

Of course, then you're doing IP-based authentication, which can be very
risky if you really have very sensitive data on your POP server.

let's see Mark's answer: (Mark, I hope you don't mind)
The second possible explanation is that the author of the UW IMAP
software had to store overhead information -- most notably the unique
identifier validity and last assigned unique identifier -- which are
necessary in order to properly implement IMAP but don't logically fit in
any
message. That this information is important, since if it is lost the
software has to assign a new UID validity and reassign new UIDs for
every
message in the mailbox, which in turn necessitates a rewrite of the
entire mailbox. That this information must be kept with the mailbox, and
rather than risk it being separated from the mailbox the best place to
keep it is in the mailbox.
Focus in the words "which in turn necessitates a rewrite of the entire
mailbox".

From all the code I have seen in C, I think that using the original coding of

the original coding of the test condition.

There is a lot of C code that violates "say what you mean", as the
original code did. Saying:
*cp != '\0'
also makes sure that only the NUL character can terminate the loop.
But this phrasing of it does it clearly and explicitly.
Go brush up your C! ;-)
OBTW: this is verging on a pure opinion war, and I will not respond to
any more messages on the subject. Rather, I will try not to let myself

Interesting. I hadn't realized that other programs wrote those, but I
guess Pine is using the same spool file handling code used by the UofW
ipop3d and imapd servers. That suggests that perhaps qpopper should
become aware of the same magic message, in order to cooperate with
other spool readers. Note that preserving this message is only
necessary if a user uses both qpopper and some UofW agent such as imapd
or Pine to access his spool file.

Hello everyone -
I have had some odd problems with QPopper, running on Redhat 6.1. After
compiling and installing, using only the 'specialauth' directive, I was able
to telnet to the pop3 port get the '+OK QPOP (version 3.0b33) at
mail.cymbic.com starting.' banner, but closes the connection as soon as I
give any command (even hitting 'enter')
I saw a past email with a similar problem, and a resolution for compiling
with the enable-tracefile directive and adding '-t tracefile' to the
command line in /etc/inetd.conf. When I did this, the server worked fine,
accepted my user name, but not my password...
Any thoughts? I left the enable-specialauth option on when I recompiled,
and I'm positive my password is right...

Which given that:
- UW-imapd is pretty much the only one free for all
- pine is used by many people (for some obscene reason ;-)

I'd recommend temporarily back-rev'ing to b32, as a nasty typo-induced
bug, reported by Rick Morris, was introduced in the command parser in
b33. I haven't bothered to release an RPM package for b33 because of
this, and will wait for b34. (I'd recommend that b33 be pulled from the
FTP site.) I haven't had any problems with b32.

Subject: APOP Question.
Hi.
I'm configuring Qpopper 3.0b34 with apop authentication.
Is there any tools that users can use to change their own password via
Eudora? Like poppassd wich we use to offer this service.
Thanx
