Yes, this is a good solution. I don't think changing the shell in /etc/pass=
wd, as has been suggested in other mail, has any effect on a user's ability=
to pick up mail (but it will obviously stop them telnetting into your mach=
ine). You have to actually st=
op a user from being authenticated.
Check out CHECK_SHELL in the 3.0beta docs.

On more modern *nixes, passwd -l just puts a ! at the front of the crypt.
This has the same effect and is reversable.

Hi Caitlin,
I would have to agree with John Mihigo about the shell change. This does
*not* lock out the users password but still does not allow the user to log
in very far as the bogus shell when read by the system causes the system to
punt the user back out to the login without the user being able to do
anything to the system.
HTH ,
Phil
e.g. in /etc/passswd for the shell entry a simple /usr/bin/nosuchshell
should do the trick, Works good on my solaris platform

Hi All,
I am new to the list and have few questions.
1. is there amemory leak in qpopper 2.53. I compiled it in server mode with authpop on.
2. is there a way to limit the number of qpopper processes that are spawned? we get over 300 running at one time - just before the server dies.
Thanx,

If you are running qpopper via inetd you can limit the # of instances
"spawned within an interval of 60 seconds"
From the inetd man (on Linux, anyway):
The wait/nowait entry is applicable to datagram sockets only (other
sock‚
ets should have a ``nowait'' entry in this space). If a datagram
server
connects to its peer, freeing the socket so inetd can received further
messages on the socket, it is said to be a ``multi-threaded'' server,
and
should use the ``nowait'' entry. For datagram servers which process
all
incoming datagrams on a socket and eventually time out, the server is
said to be ``single-threaded'' and should use a ``wait'' entry. Com‚
sat(8) (biff(1)) and talkd(8) are both examples of the latter type of
datagram server. Tftpd(8) is an exception; it is a datagram server
that
establishes pseudo-connections. It must be listed as ``wait'' in order
to avoid a race; the server reads the first packet, creates a new
socket,
and then forks and exits to allow inetd to check for new service
requests
to spawn new servers. The optional ``max'' suffix (separated from
``wait'' or ``nowait'' by a dot) specifies the maximum number of server
instances that may be spawned from inetd within an interval of 60 sec‚
onds. When omitted, ``max'' defaults to 40.
If this doesn't help, maybe you'll want to take a look into tcpserver,
written by djb (the qmail guy), http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp.html . You can
limit the number of simultaneous connections using tcpserver.

Hi,
I have Qpopper 2.53 compiled in server_mode. I was thinking of
trying this with NO_STATUS. I'm not sure what the specific
purpose of the MD5 hash and if there are any disadvantages to
compiling Qpopper with no_status.
Thank you in advance for any help on this.

Hello all,
I am new to this list and I really need some help. I have qpopper installed
on my server, a cobalt RaQ2. This qpopper was delivered to me by a pkg file.
So far the qpopper program worked fine but today a customer of mine report
the following problem. He could do what he want, he could use any email
program, but he could not get te qpopper system to relay emails from him
that are not for a local address on the server.
Here's an excerpt from /var/log/maillog
Mar 6 23:07:50 ns1 in.qpopper[11859]: (v2.53) POP login for "radke-sieb" at

Please POP before sending.

relay=pc19f550b.dip.t-dialin.net [193.159.85.11]
As you can see the customter (user "radke-sieb") did login some times
successfully, but however, his mail going to "HRadke-Sieb@.." (he tried to
send an email via my smtp server to his email adress at this provier
@t-online.de) get rejected.
If anybody has any ideas, please help me! Any help would be appreciated.

Qpopper is for retrieving e-mail from a server.
Relaying policies are controlled by your sendmail server, and appropriate
configuration will result in the ability to relay e-mail. The configuration
varies based on the sendmail program you're using and version.
As you can see from your log below, sendmail is complaining about the
relaying, not qpopper.
Your e-mail relaying allow file may be in /etc/mail/relay_allow
or if it's a newer version of sendmail, it may be in /etc/mail/access.
Good luck!
Ed

If you set NO_STATUS, the UIDs of messages are recalculated for each
session. This introduces extra overhead if users leave mail on the
server. (The hash is used to generate the UID).

Are you going to send anything else to the announce list? If so, I
will stay subscribed to both lists, and grumble each time I have to
delete a duplicate list about lazy folks who can't subscribe to two
lists ... while they can grumble about lazy folks who can't hit 'd'.
;-)
If you are going to send the entire content of *-announce to this
mailing list as well, then why bother to subscribe to both?

Does everyone find this list through the web page? If so, I'd say put
the announce list info next to this list's info on the web page and
make it clear that announcements will only go to the announce list.

I would like to get the announcements and all the problems and questions
from the same list. I know other individuals who like to keep on top of
new versions and bugs does not want to receive everyone's problems.
There is a definite need for two lists, one that receives everything and
one that only receives announcements. This way no matter what you want you
can get it without having to subscribe to more than one list.
The solution posed by Mr. Porter is not a viable solution for
everyone. Personally I do not access this list through the web page, I
have it sent directly to my email account. Honestly I do not believe I
have visited the web page since I originally signed up for the listserv and
did a search for a problem we were experiencing.

I'm sure I've gotta be missing something here. What's the difficulty in
subscribing to an additional list? It only took a couple of seconds to
accomplish. And if it's because people aren't aware of the announcement
list that's easy to fix too - add mention of it into the list's welcome
message (if it's not already there).
Vince.

I don't "access" the list through the web page, either. I *signed up*
for it through the web page. Anyone who signs up for this list should
see the availability of the announce-only list at the same time, and
can sign up for both.
I'm just being a Devil's Advocate, though. I don't have strong feelings
either way. I'm just wondering how one would get on the discussion list
without knowing about the announcement list. If you know both lists
exist, why not sign up for both?

That's the suggestion that was made. It makes sense to me, so I'll
start sending all announcements to both lists. Discussion continues
to take place only on this list.

I can't offer you much in the way of advice, except to say that that
message indicates a programming error. The program tried to do
something on a file descriptor which supposedly pointed to a socket
(because of a socket() call), but in fact that is not true.
How it came to be in that state is another story. Perhaps your

I know for sure that I didn't sign up through a web page. I found
the information about this list in the readme included with qpopper,
and it didn't mention a web address for the list to sign up, nor did
it mention an announcements list. Just FYI, not everyone on this
list signed up via the list.

No difficulty, it's just that some people prefer to minimize the
number of lists they subscribe to, to make things easier when they
change email addresses. It also keeps filters simpler.

The same people that are subscribed to this list are also going to be
subscribing to the other list. What is the point? Why should ~200
(guessing the number of individuals subscribing to the list) make changes
to their email clients, and subscribe to a second list when a simple change
can be made by one person and accomplish the same thing?
Yes, it is a pain to subscribe to a second list. Though it may only take a
couple of seconds to subscribe to the list, it take a lot longer to make
sure all filters still work correctly.

I understand now. You wouldn't like my conclusions, but I understand.
You do realize that if you ever were to leave this list and still wanted
to keep up on qpopper announcements you'd still have to join the dreaded
announcement list and "make sure all filters still work correctly."

What web page???
[Does that answer your question?]
The world does NOT begin and end with Web. Most of the rest of it is
pretty silkless, too.
PS: if you mean the one at pensive.org, don't bother replying. I can
use all the tools. But Web is so clunky compared to text e-mail. Even
if the link at this end is relatively high speed.

You have to roll your own if these don't work for you. You should also

The code did emit these traces if -t was used (which it was in your
case). I've fixed it so that DEBUG has to be defined as well.
I am unable to reproduce the lack of a stats record, however.

case). I've fixed it so that DEBUG has to be defined as well.
I am unable to reproduce the lack of a stats record, however.

I think these are unsigned char vs char issues.

Subject: HP-UX + 3.0b35 + statistics
Solution to that problem was quite simple ...
correction of the inetd.conf entry for pop3 .
It was :
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/popper -s -R -T 120
instead of :
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/popper popper -s -R -T 120

Subject: 30b35 errors with wu-kludge
I've setup qpopper30b35 to replace ipop3d from the WU-IMAP package, now
that it should co-exists with wu-imap and it's "don't delete this
message" place holder message. However, some clients are getting errors
something like - "Message 3 does not exist" and logging the errors
gives:
"Thu Mar 9 14:51:36 2000 [28613] jcap at [209.222.74 dot 85]: -ERR Message 3
does not exist."
The funny thing is the worst effected is the latest Eudora Lite. Has
anyone else had this problem?
I've been looking at traces and logs, but I can't see where the client
finds out that there are 3 messages (including wu-imap message) instead
of 2. STAT returns 2, LIST returns a list with 2 items, etc...
I've tried quite a view test cases with mixing imap and qpopper, as soon
as the imap message is created, the client can't count right...
Any reports of this configuration working would be a help...

Hi all,
Is there such way to deny or allow a
certain host/network to access Qpopper?
I want to do just like Wietse Venema did
on /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny,
but those are for conections using TCD...
Thanks for any help,

Alright. I've tried that before, but when I
installed Qpopper it has put itself under
/usr/local/lib/, and as it is not in the path
I should have done:
... nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd usr/local/lib/popper -s
instead of:
... nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd popper -s
Thanks a million,

I am not sure what you mean. We do use Wietse's tcp wrappers with popper.
/etc/inetd.conf -
pop stream tcp nowait root /usr/libexec/tcpd popper -S
/etc/hosts.deny -
popper: ALL
/etc/hosts.allow -
popper: ALL
This will let everything in.
Read the manpages: hosts_access(5) hosts_options(5)
tcpd(8) tcpdchk(8) tcpdmatch(8)
You could set /etc/hosts.allow to
popper: 192.168.1.
to only allow that network.

Why not just use Venema's tcp_wrappers? Popper uses TCP!

Subject: Request for comments: POP server disk layout.
Date: Thu, 09 Mar 2000 23:00:07 PST
I have successfully installed qpopper as a POP-3 server a few times now, and
have gotten to the point that I want to optimize disk performance.
Now, this is easy if you have a RAID controller and a bunch of disks, but I
am dealing at this time with a client who can afford only a single disk.
Therefore, I have proposed the following disk layout to maximize
performance:
slice0, 100 megs, /
slice1, 128 megs, SWAP
slice2, 100 megs, /usr
slice3, 7000 megs, /var
(this is as opposed to just making one large / partition for everything)
Here is my reasoning: random access reads will occur in '/' and SWAP, so I
want these slices to be very thin, at the outside of the circular disk and
thus reducing disk head movement.
All mail will be stored in /var, so I want that partition large, and if
people get a fair amount of mail, these will be sequential reads of some
sort after the head seeks...
I realize this is not much of an improvement at all over just simply having
one large '/' partition, but every bit counts...
the only real question is (unless you have comments on my partitioning login
in general):
--> Will any actions on the part of qpopper cause data to build up on either
'/', or '/usr' and thus fill up these very small file systems I have made
for them ?
Any comments are appreciated.
-john

Sorry about that. There's a bug in the UIDL command in b35 with
--enable-uw-kludge; this is fixed in b36, which should be available
later today (Friday).

You need to upgrade to 3.0 -- I'd suggest 3.0b36 (available later
today), but any recent version will do. See the FAQ at
<http://www.eudora.com/qpopper/faq.html#from.lines>.
