It's a debug record written during session clean-up to indicate
that SSL/TLS was not in force, and so isn't being cleaned up.

Using '--enable-server-mode' makes it the default for all
executions of Qpopper. Using '-s' on the command line makes it the
default for that execution. So either works; using both won't hurt.
In server mode the .user.pop file is always created, as it serves
the additional purpose of a mutual-exclusion lock on multiple
simultaneous sessions for the same user. The spool is not copied
to it unless the spool is 'dirty' at the session end. If all
messages are deleted, the spool i snot 'dirty'. If all messages
are left on the server and none of them were new to this session or
downloaded for the first time in this session, the spool is also
not 'dirty'. (This can be overridden by the
'update-status-headers' option in a configuration file -- see the
Administrator's Guide for more information.)
For more information on Server Mode, see the Administrator's Guide.

Subject: probs with Horde IMP & Qpopper 4.0.3
Hi there,
checking my POP Account with Horde IMP Client (www.horde.org) produces
the following error in /var/log/mail:
Aug 23 02:03:54 julia popper[6652]: (null) at localhost (127.0.0.1):
-ERR POP EOF or I/O Error
Aug 23 02:03:54 julia popper[6652]: I/O error flushing output to client
at localhost [127.0.0.1]: Operation not permitted (1)
Setting "chunky-writes = tls" in all configuration files as discribed in
the FAQ does not help.
Changin "localhost" to the Server Domain does not help either.
I'm using:
Qpopper 4.0.3 on Linux
IMP, Version 2.2.6 and Horde, Version 1.2.6 as Client.
Checking POP with Netscape or fetchmail (also ssl) works fine.
Checking other POP3 Servers with the same Horde IMP client works also
fine too.
So I think it's a problem of my Qpopper.
Any help would be great!!!
THANK YOU
Marcus

It sounds like that one client does not issue QUIT before closing the
connection. That's a violation of RFC 1939, and Qpopper reports it
as an error (unexpected EOF). If so, you can ignore it or try and
get the client fixed.

Hi Randall,
thank you for answering.
Ihe problem is that I don't get any messages back by qpopper. So I have
to do something.
My old Qpopper 2.5.? did not do this error.
Is there a way to suppress this error message?
Bye

Are you sure that using _disable_ special auth was right ? I.e. that you
are definitely not using shadow passwords. I would have thought it more
likely that you should try *enable* special auth so as to cope with
shadowed passwords...

If the client isn't receiving messages, then something else is going
on. Try enabling debug tracing in Qpopper. Also enable it in the
client if you can.
To enable tracing in Qpopper:
1. Do a 'make clean'
2. Re-run ./configure, adding '--enable-debugging'.
3. Edit the inetd.conf line for Qpopper, adding '-d' or '-t tracefile'.
4. Send inetd a HUP signal.
This causes detailed tracing to be written to the syslog (if you used
'-d') or to the file specified as 'tracefile'.

Usually, Qpopper 4.0.3 ./configure correctly figures out which way
to go, so generally the best way to proceed is to not specify it
either way.

What's your local delivery agent (MDA), used by sendmail to put mail in
mailbox files? That's the suspect.

That error means the first line in the file is not a proper From line,
and generally means that the delivery agent corrupted the file. This
may be due to improper locking. Procmail is commonly used for a
delivery agent. Make sure you're using the latest version.

Subject: qpopper-mysql 4.03 does not read mail and mot receive mail
From: Jean-Francois.Aubin/Externe at alcan dot com
Date: Fri, 24 Aug 2001 15:12:18 -0400
I have installed sendmail 8.10.1 with patch from Paul Khavine and procmail
3.13 with patch. Sendmail is up and running with mysql. I have compiled
qpopper-mysql with:
./configure --enable-servermode --enable-shy --enable-specialauth
--enable-temp-drop-dir=/var/spool/mail/.pop --disable-check-pw-max
--enable-fast-update --prefix=/usr --disable-hash-dir-check
--enable-standalone --enable-mysql --enable-log-login-mysql
--with-mysqllibpath=/usr/lib/mysql
--with-mysqlincludepath=/usr/include/mysql
--with-mysqlconbfig=/etc/mysql-popper.conf
I have mail in /var/spool/mail/jfaubin with permission 1777 for the tests
I have a symbolic link /var/mail /var/spool/mail
I telnet localhost 110
Connected to localhost.localdomain.
Escape...
+OK ready
user jfaubin
pass password
The System must return:
+ok jfaubin has 0 visible messages (0 hidden) in 0 octets.
I include message from my syslog:

I receive the following message when the Logon Using Secure Password

server that is configured for using APOP:
Unable to logon to the server using Distibuted Password Authentication.

When I turn this checkbox off, my /var/log/maillog contains a message that

Does Outlook 2000 support APOP ???
I'd like to provide a more secure way to authenticate my users besides clear

I might venture into SSL or something, but I've never used SSL or TLS with
email before.
Any advice on these questions would very much be appreciated!!

OE doesn't do APOP. You might find this page useful (it's for Sendmail,
but
it's still helpful):

The message says it's a warning -- are you sure it's an error? Do
you have a popper executable (usually in the popper subdirectory,
that is, popper/popper)?

hi all
i've been having some incredible performance problems on my box
recently. i have been reading around a bit and have come to the
conclusion that the high level of access on my machine would be better
suited using maildir. i'm getting so many lock errors! at the moment i'm
using cucipop, but am quite interested in moving to qpopper. is there
anyway that i can configure qpopper to collect mail from both the mbox
and maildir locations?
the system manages around 30 000 mails a day - all of which are mission
critical and so i'm a little hesitant to do a complete cut-off and
switch over in case i lose mails.
if not, can anyone recommend any tools that can migrate mbox mails ->
maildir. i am using exim as my MTA.
cheers

Does /usr/local/sbin/popper exist?

Don't put qpopper in the argument list unless you've added a line with
"flags = NAMEINARGS". Your server_args list is putting an unexpected
"qpopper" in the list.

there are several tools around and all of the are working quite well.
take a tool witch takes care of the "Status: " header.
also some "maildir-popper" are fetching all mails from disk on a "LIST-command"
which isnt really good for performance.
make some performance-tests to find a suitable popper...

Subject: Re: Envelopes trouble
Are you running popper in server mode? Server mode assumes that no other
agent other than the local delivery agent will modify the spool file.
If, for instance, a client logs onto the server and uses pine to read
their mail while at the same time qpopper in server mode is accessing
their spool, corrupt spools may result. This was true at least under
3.x. Not sure how it behaves with 4.x... or imap.

Subject: Unexpected performance result
Through an oversight in a server configuration file, about a week ago
a different partition was unintentionally mounted as the pop temp
directory on our main popper server.
In the past after reading all the available performance info, I had
deliberately set this server up so the POP temp directory would be the
same partition as the mail spool, to enable the "fast update"
optimizations when running in server mode. When a different partition
was mounted for that directory, I was expecting we would take a big
performance hit.
Instead the performance seems to have significantly increased on the
server, average load decreased, and the peak 5-minute load over the
past week has been 1/3 of what it was the week before. I don't
understand why this should be; it seems like there should be equal or
higher disk I/O load on the mail spool partition because the user mail
file has to be both copied off and copied back whenever there are
updates to it relating to a POP session.
Now I'm thinking of leaving it this way. Anybody have an idea why it
should have worked this way?

NOTE: This is a personal email, do NOT reply to the list.
1) does qpopper work with this user WITHOUT the mysql patch?
2) why not use the real spool and not the symlink..i.e the configure
option --enable-spool-dir=/var/spool/mail

I think you just put the finger on it for me. I was thinking about
total volume of disk I/O and ignoring the issue of disk seeks due to
concurrently reading/writing files on the same disk set if the spool
and temp file are on the same partition - in this case a different RAID
set.
I'll attach the configuration lines, but "reduce disk seeks" probably
explains it all.
From the build script:
...
patch -b -p0 < qpopper4.0.3-shell-server-mode.patch
cd $DESTDIR
# [insert instructions on building here]
./configure --enable-uw-kludge --with-warnings --enable-log-login \
--enable-keep-temp-drop --enable-shy \
--enable-temp-drop-dir=/var/mail/.poptemp \
--enable-nonauth-file=/usr/local/etc/pop.disable \
--enable-server-mode-shell-include=/usr/bin/false:/sbin/nologin:nologin:/usr/lo
cal/bin/no_shell \
--enable-timing
...
The directory /var/mail/.poptemp itself is on the same partition with
/var/mail, but due to a symlink elsewhere in the file system + an
accidentally uncommented line in /etc/fstab, the partition formerly on
/var/poptemp got mounted on top of the /var/mail/.poptemp directory
with these surprisingly beneficial results. I think their being on
physically distinct sets of disks, eliminating a lot of seeks, probably
explains it.

I have the same problem. But I would like to take a different solution
tactic. I have a relatively small number of problem pop users. The have mail

Why is he unable to send mail because of this? Qpopper isn't
responsible for delivering mail. That's the MTA's job. At worst this
should just generate noise in your logs.

It's a completely benign error message in my experience; it simply
gets logged.

I'm somewhat doubtful that it's the real problem; there seems to me a
strong possibility that they have some independent problem in their
configuration (e.g. pointing to the wrong smtp server.)
We have thousands of POP users and I am pretty sure we have at least
hundreds who are using Netscape and getting this message logged. None
of them have had any related problems using POP with the current
qpopper.

Procmail.
You don't actually offer what problems you are seeing?
"performance problems" is very vague. I've dealt with Qpopper
on machines with several thousand users on it, running the monolithic
mailbox format. It can work. (don't use cheap slow IDE disks)..

Hi, all...
I checked the archives, but was unable to find the answer to this question
-- although I suspect it's been answered before :-)
I'm running qpopper 4.0.3. I'm running APOP on some of my e-mail clients,
but have some that are not running APOP (for a variety of reasons I won't
bore you with). I'm also running poppassd to allow users to update their
UNIX password on the POP server via their e-mail client.
My question is this: How can I coordinate password changes via poppassd so
that the APOP passwords are updated at the same time? I have this uneasy
feeling that I'm missing something, because this seems to be a normal thing
to want to do, but I simply haven't been able to find any information to
help me figure it out!
I really appreciate the help! This list is great -- simply lurking has
taught me so much, and it's nice to know that there are so many people with
so much experience in this area.
Thanks in advance for your help!!

Currently, poppassd doesn't update APOP passwords. Since poppassd
runs over a cleartext protocol, users would be transmitting their new
passwords in the clear. There have been some proposals to run the
poppassd protocol under TLS (SSL). I think what a lot of sites do
now is set up a web page (encrypted with TLS/SSL) that lets users
change their passwords.

One such package is brink. This is a simple Perl-based CGI script, so
you could add a call to update the APOP database without much effort.

Date: Fri, 31 Aug 2001 18:58:49 +1000 (EST)
Dear All,
wondering whether you can help ...
I'm administering a Cobalt Qube, which runs linux, sendmail/
procmail for MTA/MDA, and "in.qpopper" thru tcpd for POP
downloads.
It was recently moved behind a firewall, changed IP address
(to 10.0...) and a few other changes, and the POP server has
stopped working.
Logs:
Aug 31 17:41:44 mail in.qpopper[8600]: userX at 10.0.0.56 (10.0.0.56): -ERR [SYS/TEMP] maillock error 4: '/var/spool/mail/userX'
It appears (from telnet localhost 110) that the POP server
accepts the user and pass then immediately dies, leaving
behind userX.lock and .userX.pop, which then stop procmail
from delivering locally of course :(
A session:
# telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK QPOP (version ?) at mail.our.domain starting.
user userX
+OK Password required for userX.
pass mypasswordX
Connection closed by foreign host.
#
Can anyone suggest WHY qpopper may have suddenly started
dying at this point?
Thanks in advance

You don't say what Qpopper version. You should be running the latest,
4.0.3.

This indicates you're running an older version (with --enable-shy).
Try upgrading to 4.0.3 and see if that helps.

You don't need IMAP. You need to determine why the connection is
refused. Could be ipchains or netfilter (ie. your firewall) or
tcp_wrappers. Check your system logs.

Thanks for the help, now the firewall is open, but this is the issue, I
can connect via telnet to the port 110 on the same server and qpopper
will respond, but when I try to connect to the server via telnet in

be???, ok, the format of it is like this:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1 smtptb1212 localhost.localdomain
192.168.40.54 ssmx mailhost domain.com loghost
When I connect via Telnet to the port 110 via the same machine the
smtpb1212 responds, not the ssmx, but when I connect via telnet to the
same port from another machine is says "connected" but qpopper is not
responding, like if it's not listening to that ip, or something. Let me
know any help you can give me, thanks.

You don't need IMAP. You need to determine why the connection is
refused. Could be ipchains or netfilter (ie. your firewall) or
tcp_wrappers. Check your system logs.

The hosts file is only used to convert names to addresses. You can
eliminate it as an issue by using the address, not the hostname, in
your telnet command:
telnet 192.168.40.54 110
It may be that qpopper has not bound to the NIC, only the loopback
interface. That's an xinetd issue. Are you getting any log messages on
the server from xinetd? How is xinetd configured for pop3?

Found the solution thanks to the list, I don't know why the hosts.allow file
inside the etc didn't liked my typping:
popper: ALL: ALLOW
separated by tabs and not by spaces, I re wrote it to:
popper: ALL: ALLOW
and it worked.., so thanks to all.
