Since there's not such thing as "linux 6.2" you might want to provide a

First of all, you mean Redhat 6.2 and not linux 6.2 (at a guess - most people
who run Redhat seem to think *it* is Linux).
Secondly, if the customer is receiving a bounce message it's a problem with
the configuration of the MTA (i.e., sendmail, exim, qmail, postfix), and
nothing to do with qpopper. Qpopper is to *RECEIVE* e-mail, not to send it.
Therefore the question is not one relevant to this list.
Thirdly, if (s)he is the only customer who can't send mail to that address,
no matter what they are telling you, it's 99.99999999% chance of being a user
error on their end - a mis-spelling, or configuration error in their mail
client. If other people can't send mail to that address as well, then it's
going to be a configuration issue with the MTA, not with qpopper.
Lastly, I'd really like to know how you got your job when you don't already
know the above. :-)

Subject: standalone
Hi all,
I've compiled qpopper3.1b11 with the following configure options:
--standalone
--enable-apop=/etc/pop.auth
--enable-pop-uid=pop
The system is: SunOS 5.5.1 Generic_103640-31 sun4d sparc
SUNW,SPARCserver-1000
When I try to fire up the daemon, it immediately exits. Here's the end
of a truss:
open("/usr/openwin/lib/libw.so.1", O_RDONLY) Err#2 ENOENT
open("/usr/lib/libw.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat(3, 0xDFFFF82C) = 0

lseek(0, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 113123
lseek(3, 0, SEEK_CUR) = 0
_exit(0)
I've compiled with both gcc and SUNWspro-5.0 cc... To the same ends.
It worked fine on a SunOS 5.7 Generic_106541-04 sun4u sparc
SUNW,Ultra-1.
Seems that the problem is not finding libc_psr.so.1. Is this because my
SPARCserver-1000 is mis-configured? Or is it because the standalone
option does not support such old gear? The same version of qpopper
compiles and runs fine on both systems if I do not try to use
standalone.
Thanks,
Joel

Stupid question, but I have to ask: Are you sure there isn't a popper
process still running? When I run in stand alone on SunOS 5.5.1, a
'ps -ef' shows the actual daemon still there, after the one I run has
exited.

Subject: looking for info as to where..
Hi,
I've been starting to write a log parser for the popper log for our tech
support people. Putting certain things from the log into HTML tables per
day, etc.. so far i'm picking out bad logins, good logins (but only after
a bad login), pop timeouts, pop hangups, and pop lock busies.
Anyway, i was pulling out the good logins by the lines containing "Stats:"
but i dont know if this is correct? Does this take place at login or after
all interaction is done with the user? If it's at login i guess it's stats
of msgs that WILL be deleted/WILL be kept, and if it's AFTER, it's msgs
that WERE deleted/WERE kept. It sounds more plausible that it would be
after interaction, but the timestamps just dont seem right..maybe i'm
reading it wrong.
Lastly, any debug lines you think would be helpful to my people that
i should include in the logfile? I really dont want to enable ALL
debugging, because the logfile gets REALLY huge and 1/2 of the stuff i
dont need. So if i could just select a choice few entries, that would be
fine. i dont care if i have to change the specific DEBUG_LOG's to
pop_msg's
Definately lastly, what exactly does the pop timeout and pop hangup
messages represent. I was hoping when the user cancelled the message
download, that's when the hangup messages came up
I'm running 3.0.1 on linux with:
--enable-servermode --enable-specialauth --enable-hash-spool=2 --ena

This is 2.53-ldap.
2.53 has a cute race condition somewhere that will double the size
of the mail box ^^; endymion mailman (webmail crud) is very good at triggering it.
When 3.1 stops developing feeping creaturism (and hopefully has a -DNOMIMEMANGLINGATALL)
then I'll port in my little ldap hacks. ^_^; It's pretty simple code stolen
from my pop-proxy program.

Subject: email messages are concatenated together
Date: Mon, 2 Oct 2000 17:43:00 +0200 (MET DST)
Hello,
Here are the results of some tests I made on my system about concatenated=
mails problem.
For what I can see qpopper is using the Content-Length header to find =
the different messages in the spool.
If no Content-Length header exists, qpopper assume that a blank line
followed by "From " on the next line is the beginning of the next message=
=2E
On my Solaris system both /bin/mail and /usr/lib/mail.local are creating =
or
replacing that Content-Length header when delivering messages localy.
That's where the problem is. Some times that Content-Length value is 1 by=
te
more then what should be expected (if not counting the newline between th=
e
header and the body).
I was able to keep a copy of the messages in the spool which led to conca=
tenated
mails after retrieving.
The first message had a wrong (by 1 byte) Content-Length value.
After editing the spool and correct the Content-Length value, I then
retrieved separated messages.
Obviously neither /bin/mail or /usr/lib/mail.local are suited for the job=
=2E
I replaced the local mailer in sendmail.cf and I use procmail.
(/usr/local/bin/procmail v3.14 1999/11/22).
I also added a "b" flag to be sure to have 1 blank line at the end of the=
appended
messages (F=blsDFMAw5:/|@qSnE9,).
I hope this can help other Solaris users.

Subject: Qpopper 3.1b12 available
Qpopper 3.1b12 is available at
<ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper/>.
A somewhat abbreviated change list is on the Qpopper web site at
<http://www.qpopper.org/changelist.html>
The full list of changes from one release to the next is on the FTP
site, at
<ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper/beta/Changes>.
The 3.1 release notes are at:
<ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com/eudora/servers/unix/popper/beta/Release.Notes>.
Changes from 3.1b11 to 3.1b12
-----------------------------
1. --enable-auto-delete now requires expire=0 (and sets it
that way by default).
2. Fixed link error for 'strip_domain' when --enable-scram
used.
3. Fixed compilation problems with SCRAM.
4. Add '-idirafter /usr/local/include' since some systems
(often BSD) don't search there by default, yet gdbm install
puts files there.
5. Fixed standalone mode to avoid looping before quit, and to
handle differences in wait3(3C) return values.
6. Issue error 4 instead of crashing if PAM appdata pointer is
null (known bug in Solaris PAM fixed in Solaris 7 and patch
106257-05).
7. Added '--disable-update-abort' to set NOUPDATEONABORT.
8. Moved UnixWare case before default in configure.
9. Fixed authentication in stand-alone mode on BSDI.
10. Fixed tracing in stand-alone mode.

Would it make sense to add a qpopper configure switch like
"--content-length-fudge=-1" to compensate for broken delivery agents?
(BTW, I see that 3.1b12 includes a workaround for a Solaris PAM bug, so
there's precedent for dealing with others' broken software.)

The 'stats' line is written at the end of the session. If you want
to log th start of a session, use '--enable-log-login', which causes
Qpopper to write a log entry when a user authenticates.

Timeout means no input was received from the client within the
timeout period, while hangup means the connection closed without the
client sending QUIT, which could mean the user cancelled the
download, or the connection was dropped, or the client machine
crashed, or there was a network problem somewhere, or....

Subject: New QPOP user
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi all,
I am a new qpopper user. I have download and installed qpopper 3.1b11 using
RPM on RedHat 6.2.
Since installing via RPM is too simple, I am confuse on how to configure
qpopper daemons and APOP database.
My first try results: (in Eudora style)
There has been an error transferring your mail. I said: APOP <shhhh! Don't
tell anyone.> and then POP server (dapidc at mail.hargagrosir dot com) said: ERR
[SYS/TEMP] POP authentication DB not available (user dapidc): No such file
or directory(2).
While I am browsing through the mailing-list archive, can anyone give me
advice about the error?
I am planning to configure the mail server as secure as possible, probably
using APOP or tunneling via SSL. Which method is most secure? I don't care
about the client's software, they have to do as I say or they may not use
my mail server.
Thanks for your kind attention.

I was wondering what I could do to eliminate the

The actual messages are sent out with no problem. 99% of my

Also every now and then, a "DO NOT DELETE THIS MESSAGE" from folder

Most likely you didn't add the user to the APOP database. Make sure you
compiled qpopper with APOP support. Then use the "popauth" command to add
users to the APOP database.

APOP only protects username and password. SSL would protect username,
password, and mail contents.

1) get your users to stop using Netscape Communicator
or
2) comment out the offending error message in the source, recompile.
or
3) add 'user_pref("mail.auth_login", false);' to prefs.js or
Netscape Preferences for each user.

Only users who are in the APOP database use APOP. The rest use cleartext

I may be wrong, but seems that enable-home-dir-mail and
enable-hash-spool would conflict. Where is the local delivery agent
putting the mail? A default RedHat install delivers to /var/spool/mail.

Check the INSTALL file. The capability is there on the command line. -p2
I believe will allow both. The problem is, what do you win if you allow
both? It only takes one sniffed passwd to compromise your network. I'm
setting things up to allow both types of authentication on site (we're
switched and basically trust our users)and only apop from off site. (or
ssh etc... but apop is easier for the users)
On a side note, does anybody know if Netscape has plans to support apop
in their mail tool? How about Eudora for linux/unix?

Additionally, QPopper can be compiled to let APOP users authenticate with or
without APOP. This is useful for me when I'm not at a computer with an APOP
mail client. I can still pop my mail without taking myself out of the APOP
database.

Subject: Qpopper / Postfix / MySQL Help Wanted!
I am looking to setup Qpopper on RedHat, and use MySQL users instead of linux
users. I would like to be able to support multiple bob pop accounts per say, so
probably will use maildir. I would like to use Postfix as the MTA.
I also want to have a configuration file that allows me to easily modify things
like minimum pop times, and have it notify users who are poping to check email
every 30 seconds instead of lets say every 4 minutes.
I am of course open to suggestions.
I am looking for someone who has set this up before in this manner and has it
working perfectly with a decent amount of domains, and users, of course am willing
to pay for your services.
Besides what is described, the ability to setup & config postfix, procmail, some
mailing list manager like ezmlm or major domo, and any other mail features you can
think of will be very helpful.
Finally a small amount of training to ensure I understand how the whole thing
works.
Please contact me off list...
Thanks...
PS if this is not you, but you know someone who can do this I would appreciate you
forwarding them this information.

The link in the Eudora FAQ to Netscape is now broken. A bit of
searching on Google turned
this:
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/messaging/msdk_j/JavaRef/POP3
/netscape.messaging.pop3.POP3Client.html#xSender(int)
If I interpret this correctly, it probably wouldn't be much work to
have qpopper simply return the sender address for the requested
message. What does Netscape use this for?

This sounds like you didn't create the APOP database (using popauth),
or the configuration is inconsistent.

Depends what you mean by "most secure". APOP avoids sending the
password (instead sending proof that the user knows it), but does not
encrypt the actual mail. SSL encrypts everything, but (assuming
USER/PASS is used with it, as is usual) does send the actual password
to the server, so if the client is talking to an untrustworthy
server, that server now knows the user name and password.

This is normally a problem with the delivery agent. I believe the

Using qpopper 3.0, on Linux 6.0 with sendmail 8.10.1...
Had to swap in a different Linux server (it had a different IP address, we
simply updated DNS with the revised IP so as to minimize impact to clients).
I had tar-ed the /var/spool/mail queue files, and untarred, taking care to
preserve the file dates & owners on the queue files. Problem was, after we
put in the new servers, all the mail in each queue got re-read by our
clients who primarily use Outlook. This was not user-friendly, resulting in
duplicate message appearing for the mail users... Short of telling clients
to clean out their queues, any suggestions on how to avoid the issue?

Yo Qpopper gang,
The addition of the following lines in configure.in:
dnl
dnl ---------- Make sure /usr/local/include gets searched ----------
dnl
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -idirafter /usr/local/include"
CPPFLAGS="$CPPFLAGS -idirafter /usr/local/include"
has broken configuration for non-gcc compilers in a big way. When I
just do "./configure" (let it use gcc), the configure step works fine.
If I specify another compiler (eg, CC=cc ./configure) then the configure
step basically doesn't find any of the necessary include files, computes
the size of an unsigned long int as zero, etc, etc. Then the compile
bombs right away. When I comment out the two lines above and autoconf,
things start working.

Subject: Installing Qpopper 3.0.2 On Red Hat Linux 7.0
Date: Fri, 6 Oct 2000 08:45:46 -0400
Can anyone help me out installing Qpopper 3.0.2 on Red Hat Linux 7.0. I've
installed on other versions of Red Hat Linux with no problems. The problem
now is that with 7.0, inetd has changed to xinetd and the system of
configuration has changed as well. What I tried (and it doesn't seem to
work) is to create a file in /etc/xinetd.d called pop3 with the following:
# default: on
# Pop3 Service
service pop3
{
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/lib/popper qpopper -s
}
this corresponds to the line which was previously in inetd.conf:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/lib/popper qpopper -s
This looks like it should work. Does anyone have more knowledge on the
subject?

This is what you want:
# default: on
# Pop3 Service
service pop3
{
flags = NAMEINARGS REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/lib/popper
server_args = qpopper -s
disable = no
}
This is all clearly spelled out in the thorough man page for
xinetd.conf(5).
Note that chkconfig(8) knows how to handle the files in /etc/xinetd.d,
so once you've created the entry, you should use chkconfig to
enable/disable qpopper, instead of editing /etc/xinetd.conf/pop3
directly.

Hi,
You should see lines in your syslog that something like:
Oct 6 00:04:25 onyx popper[3332]: (v3.2fc1-DCE) Timing for sklee at colby dot edu \
(normal) auth=2 init=0 clean=0 [popper.c:311]
This get written out at the end of the POP session for the person.

Hi,
So I don't see them. I am logging as follows from /etc/syslog.conf:
# POP3 service (qpopper)
local0.notice /var/log/POPlog
Do I need to log at a different level to see the timing output? I don't see
the timing in either syslog or in the /var/log/POPlog I have set up.
Hmmm. Any ideas?

Hello to all,
I have Sendmail 8.9.3 installed and this version does not have the new SMTP

or should I install DRAC and activated QPopper 3.1 DRAC feature?

IMHO, Both.
SMTP AUTH will take care of most new mail clients and DRAC will handle
the older ones, which means you should be able to keep security high
while still allowing 98% of your current users to relay while roaming.
The only users who would have trouble given SMTP AUTH _and_ DRAC (or ny
other pop-before-smtp solution) are those which don't support SMTP AUTH
and which try SMTP delivery before POP3 collection.

SMTP AUTH is the standards-based approach and does not rely on IP
addresses, which makes it harder to spoof, and more flexible for
your users. While most of the popular current email clients
support it, not all clients do. Therefore, you might want to do
both.

I need web-based interface for changing user password in unix environment.
Or is there any way a user can change password if he/she can not log in to

All users is assigned as popusers with /bin/false shell, except a few user
that has administrative tasks.
do you know where to find that kind of utility?
