Subject: Re: few problems with popper 4.0.3
Well I tried it with no SSL and I can retrieve all my mail no probs.
I compiled with
./configure --enable-debugging --with-pam=/etc/pam.d/pop3 --enable-specialauth --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl --enable-log-login
I tried without SSL and popper works a charm.
I modified my xinitd pop3 file:
service pop3
{
flags = REUSE NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = no
user = root
server = /usr/local/sbin/popper
server_args = popper -d -s -t /etc/mail/mail-output
port = 110
}
and my qpopper.config file:
set tls-support = tls
set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/certs/cert.pem
set timeout = 10
set chunky-writes = tls
now I get these errors using kmail (kde 3.0.3 source. Kmail says:could not connect to host

Subject: OS X POP client weird?
FreeBSD port of qpopper version 4.0.4 (non-standalone) on FreeBSD 4.6.2
Release.
All is working fine, except we note that two users show these errors:
Oct 8 19:54:28 boxname qpopper[88744]: xxx at
12-233-2-114.client.attbi.com (12.233.2.114): -ERR [SYS/TEMP] POP
authentication DB not available (user xxx): No such file or directory (2)
Only these two users are running the Apple Mail App under OS X as POP clients.
The 2 users have no apparent trouble accessing their mailboxes through
qpopper. The admin just noticed in the syslog file when looking for
something else.

Hallo Sean,
Very good, interesting as I saw your previous mail with
the service pop3 entry I thought this might be the reason.
Good you found yourself and posted here for information.

Hallo Len,
Have you configured with --enable-scram=xxxx
The error message means that during the client challenge popper
tries to open the APOP database file and cannot open it.
Does it exist?
Which Auth. method does the Apple Mail Client use?
CRAM-MD5, LOGIN or APOP

Hi Husri,
the linker doesn't find libresolv.so/libresolv.so.2
libresolv.a
and libresolv.so -> libresolv.so.2
Should be in /usr/lib or /lib
Make a find on your machine if you cannot find install them

Hallo Laurent,
As I remember I had the same problem but under MDK8.2
What I did was using not db4 (db-4.0.14) instead using db3 (db3-3.3.11-6)
and making cd /usr/lib ln -s libdb-3.3.so libdb.so
And also using not the latest Ldap Version instead using the latest stable
release which is openldap-2.0.25.
make ldd from all involved libraries to see which they are using.

libnsl(3LIB) should be linked with libdrac on Solaris 8/9, IRIX
and so on.
solution:
1. install a shared library libdrac.so linked with libnsl
2. modify configure.in/configure

Subject: How to get QPopper work with OpenSSL 0.9.6g
Hi,
after updating OpenSSL on a GNU/Linux system to the current version
0.9.6g, I didn't get QPopper work again using TSL. I compiled the
original sources of OpenSSL. 'openssl version -a' results in
OpenSSL 0.9.6g 9 Aug 2002
built on: Sun Oct 13 08:04:38 EDT 2002
platform: linux-elf
options: bn(64,32) md2(int) rc4(idx,int) des(ptr,risc1,16,long) blowfish(idx)
compiler: gcc -fPIC -DTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DNO_IDEA -DNO_RC5 -DNO_MDC2 -DL_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -m486 -Wall -DSHA1_ASM -DMD5_ASM -DRMD160_ASM
Then, I recompiled the original source of QPopper 4.0.4 as well as
4.0.5b1 without success. I used
./configure --enable-standalone --enable-specialauth --enable-with-pam \
--with-openssl=/usr \
--enable-bulldb --enable-log-login --enable-debugging --enable-warnings

nothing is blocking the connection and the mail client is TSL/SSL
aware. Everything worked before the update to OpenSSL 0.9.6g. The
error of v4.0.5b1 below corresponds to v4.0.4's error
SSL_get_error says SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL (5) [pop_tls_openssl.c:587]
I/O Error [pop_tls_openssl.c:635]
(...)
SSL_get_error says SSL_ERROR_SYSCALL (5) [pop_tls_openssl.c:767]
The first 2 errors are called from pop_tls_openssl.c's openssl_read
function. The latter is described as follows in the C source:
/* Some I/O error occurred. The OpenSSL error queue may contain
more information on the error. If the error queue is empty
(i.e., ERR_get_error() returns 0), ret can be used to find out
more about the error: If ret == 0, an EOF was observed that
violates the protocol. If ret == -1, the underlying BIO
reported an I/O error (for socket I/O on Unix systems, consult
errno for details). */
Hm, which could have caused this error?

the only command line option I use is -f to point to the configuration
file. IMO, it's much friendlier handling directives in a conf file
rather than specifying "cryptic shortcuts" to the command.
Anyway, I could now solve the problem using v4.0.5b1 and its new
'tls-options' configuration file directive:
set tls-options = 0x800
which sets the OpenSSL option 'SSL_OP_DONT_INSERT_EMPTY_FRAGMENTS',
existing as of OpenSSL 0.9.6e. Therefore, I guess everybody trying to
use QPopper with OpenSSL >= 0.9.6e should set that option! Thanks
Randall for this new version which solves the problems smoothly (if

Hi List,
I've been digging through the archives and haven't found a solution/answer as
to some things I've found in our logfile, at least an answer I'm comfortable
with.
Here's a snippet of what I've found on a few occasions now. These are logs
from 2 pop attempts for a user:

What concerns me is that after the "spool older than cache file" message, this
user's mail spool seemed to just vanish. The pop attempts after that message
all show 0 messages in the spool where there were 44 messages before.
Can anyone offer a possible scenario as to what might have caused this and
what part of this sequence might have caused the spool to be deleted or
overwritten? Is there any slim chance that the mail spool is lurking around
buried somewhere on the server?
This user is using Outlook Express as a client and we have already adjusted
their Timeout setting, but we are seeing an increasing number of timeout
related messages in general in our logfiles. I'm not looking for any magical
answer, just hoping someone out there as seen something similar and can offer
some feedback so I can learn more from this situation and what needs to happen
to prevent further mail loss.
Thanks,

Subject: Qpopper Hanging?
Suddenly got a new development on one of my qpopper servers, have 5 machines, all running RH 7.0 with Qpopper 4.03, 4 of them are still fine, the 5th machine now has a "hanging" problem.
Symptoms appear to be that ever 3-4 hours the machine gets an error in the logs that looks like the following:
Oct 18 08:02:16 qpop5 popper[27438]: I/O error flushing output to client eagleloc at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: Operation not permitted (1) [pop_send.c:689]
Then multiple entries in the log that are like:
Oct 18 09:52:37 ns5 popper[13502]: (null) at xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx): -ERR POP EOF or I/O Error [popper.c:820]
Once this starts, the only way to get qpopper back to running to restart xinetd. If you telnet to port 110 during this period you successfully connect but never get the initial ok message.
I have recompiled and re-installed the binary, rebooted the server, checked the file systems, checked memory and disk space, anyone have any ideas?
Yesterday I upgraded the Daemon to 4.04, but that didn't have any effect, I am running the Daemon in server mode via xinetd. Thanks in advance!
/etc/xinetd.d/pop3 entry as follows:

You could disable caching for those users, which would turn off the
log messages (since Qpopper wouldn't attempt to create a cache file).

The cache file speeds up subsequent mail checks, so it is a good
thing, but doing without it doesn't cause problems.

Do these daemons generate the error for all users, or only some?

Are the spools in MMDF format or not? That's the main question.

You could always disable caching globally, possibly enabling it for
any users who don't have MMDF spools.

Well, the code is working as intended. MMDF spools are excluded from
caching, so there's no need for a script to check if some users
aren't getting the error.
It would be nice to support caching with MMDF spools, but my
impression is that very few sites use them, and it adds a lot of
complexity and potential bugs. However, contributions of code to
support them are always welcome.

None of the above. Cache files are new to Qpopper 4.x. No cache

You probably want to ask this on the comp.mail.imap newsgroup.
I'm using UW-IMAP, as it comes with Red Hat. Others include Cyrus and
Courier. The author of the IMAP RFC is less than satisfied with COurier due
to some shortcuts that Courier takes with the standard.
As important as choice of server is choice of client. I've tried a few and
so far my favorite is Mulberry (http://www.cyrusoft.com/), a commercial
product. Versions are available for Win32, Linux/Solaris, and Mac OSX.
Development is very active. Features are often hard to find because the
program is so configurable. An archive of its discussion list is available
as an anonymous IMAP mail store.
Eudora's IMAP handling isn't very advanced. (See my recent posts on
comp.mail.eudora.ms-windows.) Ximian Evolution is pretty good but it's only
available for Linux. Mozilla's IMAP is still a bit primitive, for instance
lacking the ability to see deep server mailbox hierarchies.

The UW imapd (the one that "comes with Pine") works well, it's free, and
is very popular. My main objection is that it (actually IMAP in general,
not just the UW imapd)) uses much more processor time per user than
qpopper (or POP3 in general). That may be an issue on a heavily-loaded
mail server.

My impression was that it was more efficient, as it uses a constant
connection. That means that a mail check is just a couple of packets on an
existing connection, instead of a full connection setup/takedown sequence.
The speed of processing mailboxes depends on the storage type used. mbox is
notoriously inefficient. maildir works pretty well if the underlying
filesystem handles large numbers of files in a directory well, but requires
more per-message overhead (ie. an inode and the "slack" at the end of the
file storage block). The UW-IMAP server can optionally use an alternate
many-messages-per-file storage format that allows fast random access, and
supplies matching utilities to store new mail in these formats, for use as
an MDA.
Other IMAP servers can use custom DB-like formats to hold messages.

"it depends".
Ask a better question, including what you want it for,
and you'll get better answers.
"I need a car. What kind should I get?"
UW uses Version 7 mbox spools (as does qpopper). Not very
efficient. At least *most* of the time, pop servers send
and delete all the mail; IMAP users don't. This gives you
a bigger penalty (removing message 135 from a 2000 message file
means a LOT of copies). It also doesn't scale very well, for
some definition of scale. While you can exceed 20k users,
it gets painful.
CYRUS imap scales much larger and doesn't require IMAP users
be Unix users.
Sendmail, Inc's and, IIRC, iPlanet's IMAP servers are based on Cyrus.
I *know* Sendmail's IMAP server (commercial) can scale to several
hundred thousand on a machine, depending on usage models (IP stacks
being what they are, more than 15k concurrent users become problematic).
1 file/message. Deliver a message to 50 people, you have 1 file
and 49 hard links. Nice when you have sales guys mailing PowerPoint
to 200 people.
Courier is young. It may turn out to be fine. It implements some of
it's own alterations to the IMAP RFC.
Exchange and Notes can serve IMAP with up to 10s, maybe 100's of
concurrent users, if you're lucky. All for (gartner est)
$30/month/user. "IMAP aware" is how one client described it.
Not to be confused with IMAP compliant.

Heh. I had a professor at Ga Tech who claimed that the only valid answer

UW also has various forms of support for Kerberos, PAM, and AFS. So, if
you're doing anything involving those, you may want or need to look toward
UW.
Communigate Pro is another IMAP flavor. It runs on tons of platforms,
scales to clusters of servers, and has lots of other features. It does
a modified mbox format for storage (the envelope "from " contains extra,
non-standard, information), but it doesn't directly use the file for most
transactions (from what I can tell, it relies heavily upon cached information
and then periodically sync's that information back to disk).
It claims to scale well to gobs of users, and also does mailing list support
and personal web page space. They're at www.stalker.com.

I had to read the web page to believe it. built-in web server for personal
web space? in a mail server? come on, now..even microsoft isn't that dumb.
Sure it's scalable to xxxK of users, if you'll willing to pay 30 grand

When I asked about it, they said it was sort of a logical after-thought for
the rest of what they do. It's already a web server, for the administration
interface and the personal interface for reading mail and managing your
settings and mailing lists. They already store user stuff in a "home
directory" (where your spools go, your settings files are, etc.). From there
it was sort of small logical jump to give users an exportable web space
within that home directory. (and, I believe it was also requested by some
of their customers)
They've also had requests to make the spools available via FTP, and to add
support for WebDAV. With WebDAV, you could pretty much use their product
as a .mac clone/replacement. And, it's probably more appropriate to think
of their product in that light (a comprehensive package that an ISP would
use for the parts of their service that aren't physical link related) than
merely as a POP or IMAP daemon.

Yeah, not cheap. But, you can also get smaller licenses for smaller
userbases, or you can use the non-clustered version for free. The only
catch there is that when run unlicensed it puts a line of text at the
start of every message saying "This message was sent via an unlicensed
copy of communigate pro".
Other downsides: no kerberos support, no ability for users to create their
own mailing lists (though, they do have a CLI and Perl module interface
to controlling the system, so you could craft your own add on to the web
interface which would allow authenticated users to create mailing lists
which they own, and then they would use their regular interface for doing
the mailing list management).
But, it is another way of attacking the POP and IMAP problem, which is what
the poster asked for.

Add "-C" to your entry in inetd/xinetd.
On my Solaris 8/IA machine, my inetd.conf entry looks like this:
pop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/local/sbin/popper popper -s -C
(I say "looks like" but that really IS it) If you're using TCP wrappers, it
may look different.

The information is in the message headers of every post.
However, it may be that you subscribed with an address that is now

Subject: debian bug #160494 / qpopper logs wrong error messages "I/O error flushing output to client ... Operation not permitted"
From: Joern Heissler <joern at heissler dot de>
Hi
I posted this one on 2002-09-11 on the debian bts but got no reaction
from anyone.
qpopper generates log messages like this one:
Sep 11 12:16:47 mail2 popper[7396]: I/O error flushing output to client joe at somehost.sld.tld [1.2.3.4]: Operation not permitted (1)
the error message (Operation not permitted) is wrong afaics:
the relevant code from qpopper, pop_send.c is:
void
pop_write_flush ( POP *p )
{
int rslt = 0;
[...]
rslt = fflush ( p->output );
[...]
if ( rslt == EOF ) {
[...]
int e = ferror ( p->output );
pop_log ( p, POP_NOTICE, HERE,
"I/O error flushing output to client %s at %s [%s]: "
"%s (%d)",
p->user, p->client, p->ipaddr, STRERROR(e), e );
[...]
}
[...]
}
from fflush(3):
Upon successful completion 0 is returned. Otherwise, EOF is returned
and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
from ferror(3):
The function ferror tests the error indicator for the stream pointed to
by stream, returning non-zero if it is set.
ok, this is what happens:
1. fflush fails for some reason, sets errno to the error number and
returns EOF.
2. qpopper checks the error state of p->output, ferror returns 1
(non-zero!) since there's some error.
3. qpopper uses e (1) instead of errno -> a wrong error message is
generated.
I suggest this patch:
--- pop_send.c.orig 2002-09-11 12:48:38.000000000 +0200

Is there any way to disable caching for everyone, without having to
re-configure and re-compile? Especially, is there a command line
option? We get enough pop processes on our server that having config
files creates a resource contention problem on the disk where the
config file lives, so config files == bad.
And that brings me a to another question ... can you make more of your
config file options available on the command line? For example, there
appears to be no default location for the ssl cert AND there appears to
be no way to set it on the command line (according to the pdf file).
(not that I really want there to be a default location, since it would
probably be somewhere hanging off of the root disk, and that just leads
back to the resource contention issue ... as opposed to the cert file
itself which I can put on a disk that wont be used for much else,
reducing IO contention)
Ideally, every config file option would have a CLI equivalent.

I trimmed my part of the above down because the answer to your question
was in my message. To explain it a little more, if a popper starts up and
then immediately tries to open a config file, it's going to hang while
waiting for IO. If you've got 15000 users, that can build up. For example,
in the last two days, when I forgot about this issue, I accidently enabled
config files for the poppers, and I had, at some points, 6000 popper processes
all sleeping on waiting to open their config files. (limiting the number of
processes only trades symptoms of "painfully slow pop processes that
ultimately timeout" for "refusing connections" ... either way it's a problem,
and neither one happens if you aren't using config files ... and in that
case, the turn over is usually fast enough that the number of pop processes
doesn't tend to grow past 1000 any way)
Part of it is "where does the config file live"? The default location is
in /etc/mail/pop ... on the root disk, along with the sendmail config file,
things like the nsswitch.conf, hosts.allow and hosts.deny, etc. Oh, and
the password file. Things that get used A LOT. To a certain extent, the
problem can be solved by putting lots of things on different disks ... but in
the most extreme case, that starts to look like a disk for just /etc/mail/pop.
That doesn't scale much better than having everything in /etc.
In contrast, if the config files don't exist, the IO process is much faster,
and the poppers barely hang. But, in order for that to happen, you have to be
able to specify everything on the command line (or in the configure script, but
that can be a little too static for my tastes, I don't want to have to
recompile just to change every little decision).
As for user specific config files ... users don't directly use this machine.
It's a pop server only (it even only runs smtp for receiving messages from
our SMTP servers ... and the hosts.allow / hosts.deny keep other machines
using it as an SMTP server). So, that would mean I'd have to maintain
~15k config files in order to have central config options for everyone?
That doesn't scale very well.
I'ts not an immediate concern because SPOP is the only thing I've got that
_requires_ a config file, and SPOP isn't a production service yet (it would be
if eudora worked with stunnel, but eudora is the ONE pop client that supports
ssl and yet wont work with a non-ssl popper sitting behind stunnel ... and
unfortunately, eudora is our one officially supported mail client). Our kpop,
pop3, and pop2 daemons don't need one. But, considering what happens to
performance if I add a config file for those daemons, I'm not going to make
SPOP a production service until I can specify everything it needs upon the
command line.

Subject: Re: MMDF bug, and lack of CLI options
In most cases, on a dedicated machine, the read-only files
will be cached by the file system. You don't necessarily
spin up disk every time you read a file.
If it's REALLY an issue, you could mount it as an MFS on
startup and rsync over from an /etc/mail/pop.PROTO/ directory.
Naturally, you'd rsync it before starting the network processes.
But why use a config/user when you can just use one default
config for all?
I'm also curious why is "sees" an MMDF file, rather than a
proper mail spool...

ok. Then you must tell us about the network topology where you and you se

a INETD/XINETD or it works as a standalone server ? Is your server heavily
loaded ?
