I think you'd be better served by using actual mailing list software such
as
Majordomo or Listserv, especially as QPopper isn't generally intended for
sending mail, only receiving mail.

Addresses are really the responsibility of an MTA like sendmail, not a
POP3 server.
The usual way to do this is to list the addresses in a text file and
add the alias to /etc/aliases like this:
mailing-list :include: /etc/mail/mailing-list-users
Then issue newaliases to recompile the aliases file.

Subject: pam_mysql qpopper & no home directory
--------------CD449E97E63E9A63C61E7114
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
I'm trying to setup qpopper to authenticate all my users through
pam_mysql. This is on a 4.3 freebsd machine. I have the following in
my pam.conf
pop3 auth required pam_mysql.so user=root
pop3 account required pam_mysql.so user=root
pop3 password required pam_mysql.so user=root
pop3 session required pam_mysql.so user=root
I left off the rest of the information since its not relative to this
question. I watch my mysql logs looking for queries to come from
qpopper. It seems that even with these lines in place in pam.conf it
still wants the user to be a local user before it will even query the
database. However, it will make a successful query to the database if
the user is a local user with a home directory.
Is there something I can do in pam.conf or do I need to look at the
source?
Thanks for any help that you can give.

Deleting (or renaming) the bulletin database is worth a try.

It does by default, but it can be turned off to speed things up if
the directories already exist.
Try enabling debug tracing to see what exactly is going on.

You can enable to disable most options at run time by using a
configuration file. You may find that easier to use.

It should be fine, as long as you enable 'tls' instead of
alternate-port. For the latter, you'll need to run two instances of
Qpopper.

Currently Qpopper requires that the user information exist in a pwnam
structure (it doesn't actually care if the home directory exists or
not). You can modify the source if you like, look for the call on
getpwnam().

I don't have such a script, but newer versions of Qpopper include a
popauth that allows batch input, so your CGI can use it to change
passwords.

Clarification: Qpopper needs to be able to read/write/delete/create
the file when running as the user, but with group 'mail'. So one way
to permit this is to make the directory group 'mail' and give group
rwx permissions.

Qpopper does this by default, but if you've precreated the
directories, you can tell Qpopper not to check if they exist, which
speeds things up.

Can you verify that procmail uses dot-locking and/or flock()? I
don't use procmail, but I thought it was a configuration option which
form(s) of locking to use.

Subject: Constantly Getting EOF Errors
After months of flawless activity I have started to get the following
errors from qpopper (v4.01) when users try to download their mail.

(216.136.173.101): -ERR POP EOF or I/O Error
(I changed the user name to 'user' in the error message above)
In this case the user was trying to retrieve their mail from Yahoo's web
mail. I've also had users fail from Hotmail too. When I use POP3 to get
my mail via my LAN I have no problems. To try to combat this problem I
created a configuration file with the following:
set chunky-writes = tls
As suggested in the FAQ at Qualcomm's site. However, this did not fix the
problem. Again, this just started 1.5-2 weeks ago, prior to then I've
been running qpopper with no problems at all since day 1. The same server
hosts all my other services (http, ftp, telnet, ssh) and I'm having no
problems with those services. This server is a very low traffic
server. Is there anything else I can do to try to fix this problem?

I had a similar problem, although it increased from a few users to many over
a period of 3-4 days. The problem was a corrupt mail spool. I immediately
replaced qpopper with ipop3d and everything starting working fine (after the
mail spools were manually corrected - delete down to the From line) although
the performance with ipop3d was much poorer.

I imagine the problem was caused by inconsistent file locking and writing,
although I didn't understand enough or do enough testing at the time to
verify. Tests with a dozen or so users over a period of about a month
indicated no problems beforehand. I'd like to get back to using qpopper,
and tests again have been impressive, but I am still wary as the exact
problem is not understood...

Hello all,
I asked a question last week as to what steps were necessary to enable
poppassd to work properly with npassword (2.05). The suggested changes,
though appreciated, didn't seem to do the trick. So I've modified the source
for poppassd.c. I've included the diff file here as an attachment. It should
work with the version of poppassd.c included with Qpopper 4.0.3. I'm looking
for any feedback on this. Thanks in advance.

Qpopper uses both dot-locking and either flock() or fcntl()
(whichever is available). Make sure you are using Qpopper 4.0.3,
just to be sure.
Your delivery agent (and any other processes you run which access the
spool directly) must use the same locking methods.

It seems I have found the problem. My gateway is connected to the Internet
via ADSL. I was playing with the MTU value for the WAN card on the gateway
and forgot to change it back to the required value. It seems the MTU being
too large is what was causing people to timeout with the POP server. I
can't be certain this is the solution, but since I changed the MTU back
about 4-5 hours ago it seems any users trying to pick up their mail outside
of the LAN are succeeding.
To answer Jeff's question below, it was all users who were failing.
Your help has been appreciated,

I know this topic has come up many time before, but my situation seems to be
unique and one that I can find no info on. So here's the deal:
I'm running qpopper 4.03 inside NAT (with all the proper policies) on a
redhat 7.1 system. It is a dev mail server that appears to be working fine
with one exception (here's the tricky part.) When logging into port 110 of
the machine via its outside NAT IP from anywhere on the *trusted* side
(inside) of the firewall there is a 35 second delay before the Qpopper
banner appears. When logging into port 110 of the machine via inside IP from
anywhere on the *trusted* side (inside) there is no delay. From anywhere
else outside the firewall, there is no delay. Telnetting in to any other
port (like 21) has no delays from *anywhere*!
I'm using our main DNS machines, and everything appears to be working
correctly there as well. Everything resolves correctly (both internal and
external IPs and host names.)
It seems like it could be timing out on a reverse lookup, but the lookup
works fine from the console. I added several IPs to /etc/hosts and although
Qpopper did correctly log them with the actual IPs, it made no difference
with the slow login. I disabled Qpopper's reverse lookup with the -R
argument and it makes no difference with the slow login (although the logs
did indicate Qpopper was no longer doing a reverse lookup.)
Could this have something to do with xinetd (which starts popper), or some
other wrapper watching over port 110 and *it* doing the reverse lookup which
is timing out for some unknown reason? Why does it only timeout when
internal machines access the mail server via external IP? Why can external
machines access the mail server via the external IP fine?
Any thoughts or help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks!
Mike

it's possible that xinetd is trying to reverse lookup, yes.
you said telnetting to port 21 i.e. ftp daemon, is fine, is the ftp daemon
run under xinetd? if so, are both the ftp daemon and qpopper bound to the
same interface, or to all interfaces?
i would take xinetd out of the equation firstly, by compiling and
running qpopper in standlone mode, and see if that fixes it.

Thanks for all your help! It seems that when I run qpopper in stand alone
mode the problem is cleared up. Though I'm curious as to why there were
complications running under xinetd. If xinetd was actually timing out on a
reverse lookup, why does it not do it for ftp -which I also have starting
under xinetd? Why can qpopper running in standalone mode (under otherwise
similar conditions) log reverse lookups just fine?
Bottom line though, it's working now. Thanks again!

Yes, sadly, as an anti-spam measure only subscribers can post.
However, you can subscribe all addresses that you may ever use, and
'set nomail' for all but one of them. That way you can post from
any address, but only get one copy of list traffic.

Subject: RE: QPopper 4.0.3 slow login
maybe for the FTP config block in xinetd.conf you don't have:
log_on_success = HOST PID
where-as in the pop3 block you do? that could be why xinetd would do a
reverse lookup on the ip for pop3 and not for ftp.
if that's not the case, show us your xinetd config blocks for both pop3
and ftp.

If it's only for a few weeks you can remain subscribed, but 'set
nomail'. Don't forget to do a 'set mail' when you return!
If you use Eudora, you can send the 'set nomail' request, then
compose the 'set mail' request, and hit shift and send (option and
send on Macs). In the dialog box that comes up, you can say to
send the mail on a certain date (after your return).
To 'set nomail': <mailto:qpopper-request at lists.pensive dot org?body=set%20nomail>

My guess is ident lookup. Is the POP3 config for xinetd doing an ident
check but for FTP it's not? (This may be an interaction with
tcp_wrappers, which does the ident check.)

Subject: redirecting mail to a perl script
Does any one know how can I add a command to make qpopper direct all
incoming mail threw a perl script to filter out spam. I got the idea from
http://perl.plover.com/lp/Spam.html
and in his second article http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2000/02/spamfilter.html
he said that if you run the command,
exit 0;
the mail is delivered as normal, but if you end with
exit 100;
then qmail, the MTA he is using will respond with delivery failed to the
sender. I was wondering if qpopper does this and where I could add the
command to re-direct the mail to the program. thanks alot.

You can't. Qpopper isn't a mail server, it's a pop server.

Subject: Re: redirecting mail to a perl script
qpopper doesn't do this. qpopper takes what is in the spool file and
sends whatever is there to the mail user agent (aka reader)...
sendmail is the one that handles the mail.
I think that the return code is 77 (at least that's what my users claim)
that causes sendmail to return the mail as "user unknown" ...

Subject: tcp wrapper & qpopper 4.0.3
Qpopper config file is not being read when qpopper 4.0.3
is started by tcp wrapper.
Using the following line in /etc/inet/inetd.conf file the
qpopper.config file is not read. qpopper runs but
without the options set in the config file.
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/tcpd /usr/local/lib/popper qpopper -f /etc/mail/qpop/qpopper.config
If I don't use tcpd the qpopper.config file is read and
qpopper runs with the expected options.
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/lib/popper qpopper -f /etc/mail/qpop/qpopper.config
I'm running Solaris 8 and tcp_wrapper_ipv6-7.6 .

Syntax is wrong. See the man page for tcpd. You want this instead:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/bin/tcpd /usr/local/lib/popper
-f /etc/mail/qpop/qpopper.config
Note how you don't double the real server command name like you
normally do without tcpd.

Please show us the line from inetd.conf or equivalent where you start
qpopper, and the contents of any config file referenced by that command.

An: Subscribers of Qpopper
Betreff: how do configure two users belonging to two differnet domains?
Hi
I am trying to configure qpopper so that remote users can retrieve
their mail . how can I configure it so that two users with the same name but
different domains can access their mail. Do I need user accounts under two
different names and map them to correct domains ( if yes how do I do it) or
can I just use the alias file for this
Thanks
Joginder

The command line syntax does not let you just take an option in the
option file format and add a "-" to the front of it; each option has a
specific syntax on the command line. In this case the "-t" is being
interpreted as the "trace" option and the entire rest of the option,
starting with "ls"... is being taken as the filename parameter to that
option.
The "Administrators Guide" (the PDF file) lists this option as having
no command-line equivalent, so you must use the separate configuration
file as seen below.

This alternative should work, I think; at least this one looks correct
to me. What message if any do you get with this configuration?

or a qmail question :-)
i usually prepend some sort of virtual domain identifier to hosted domains
(ie: hhd-mike, dor-john, etc)
the 'real' name (ie: mike at handheartdomain dot com for hhd-mike) pops his mail
with the user name 'hhd-mike'
it's also an easy way to keep them easily separated and readable in your
aliases directory

It actually was covered on the list in a few messages.
I have a patch against 3.1.2 and 4.0.3 at my software page,
http://www.asteroid-b612.org/software
NOTE: These patches do NOT have support for virtual domains.

Subject: Server mode in 4.0.3
Hi,
I tried upgrading to qpopper4.0.3 and I cannot get server mode to
work properly. Qpopper still moves the spool into the .pop file. It
works properly under 3.1.2. Here is the configuration I used:
./configure --enable-server-mode --enable-
bulletins=/var/spool/mail/bulletins --enable-specialauth --enable-shy --
enable-log-login --enable-uw-kludge --with-log-facility=LOG_LOCAL0 --
enable-new-bulls=4
Sorry if it wraps funny. Anyone have an idea? This is on Redhat 5.2.

i BELIEVE it will still do this if you have 'keep messages on server'

This happens if TLS is enabled but the client never issues STLS to use
it. It's debug tracing, and doesn't indicate a problem.

I can't recall if "enable-server-mode" in the configuration makes it a
default, or simply enables you to turn it on at runtime. It might be
the latter.
Try putting the "-s" flag on the command line when you run it.

I should have mentioned in my first email: I do have -s. Here is the
line in the inetd.conf:
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd popper -s
The very same line worked for 3.1.2, and I noticed that all users were
having their email moved to their .pop file and not just webmail users.

Subject: Qpopper Compile Problem
Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2001 13:26:25 -0700
Hi, all...
Although I've used a POP server for a long time, this is the first time I've
built one and I've run into a problem I hope someone can help me with.
I'm using qpopper4.0.3. When I configure it with the following options,
everything works fine.
# ./configure --enable-apop=/etc/pop.auth --enable-popuid=pop
--enable-server-mode
Folloing the ./configure, I get a good compile and installation, and
everything works like I'd expect it to.
However, with I add the --enable-poppassd option, I start having problems.
The configure line I use is the following:
# ./configure --enable-apop=/etc/pop.auth --enable-popuid=pop
--enable-server-mode --enable-poppassd
followed by
# make
The make command produces the following error:
----lines removed for brevity----
gcc -c -I.. -I. -I.. \
-I../popper -I../common \
-g -O2 -fpcc-struct-return -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSOLARIS2 -DGNU_PASS
-DNO_GETLINE -DCONTENT_LENGTH=1 -DUNIX poppassd.c -o poppassd.o
gcc -o poppassd auth_user.o poppassd.o -lnsl -lsocket -lresolv -lmail
-lposix4 -lcrypt \
../common/libcommon.a
Undefined first referenced

make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `poppassd'
Current working directory /usr/local/pkg/qpopper4.0.3/popper
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `popper_server'
Sure enough, I can't find *any* library or .o file that contains the
hstrerror symbol, so I'm not surprised that it fails.
I can include the entire compilation sequence if it would be helpful, but I
hate to clutter up this mailing list if someone has the answer with the
information I've given. If someone can give me some pointers so that I can
get this working, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks for your help!!

Subject: Re: Qpopper Compile Problem
hstrerror is usually in netdb.h
configure probably didn't find it.
qpopper uses it's own in the one place popper/pop_init.c
but it doesn't seem to have this in password/poppassd.c (it should though)
You should take the #ifndef HAVE_HSTRERROR block from
popper/pop_init.c and put it in password/poppassd.c too.
then do make clean ; make
