Thanks Alan. I am not familiar with qpopper. The

It's been a while but I believe that it's compiled up when you build qpopper
from source.

I think you have to compile it separately if you want poppassd support,
but it does come with qpopper src.

Your reading of the POP3 RFC would show that none of the 15
or so POP commands cover that.
> No. You need to implement poppassd or similar.
And I'd vote for "similar". popppassd happens to be
supported by eudora (funny, eh?). Nothing else supports it.
It was just ok in 1992. It sends the passwords in the clear.
Over the wire. And that's not ok, if it ever was. Esp if it's
more than an "email password" (eg, you can log in with it).
People often use the same passwords in multiple places. If I get
your email password, I likely have the password you use in many
other places.
I'd use a web page (https) and a CGI to change the password that way.

No ,and it's difficult on several levels. if a mail server
is down, spool up the mail on your backup MX box and deliver them
when the mail server is back up.
If it's really important, your mail will reside on an external
RAID box. You can either implement HA ($$$$) or just move the
RAID box to another machine and run a script to make it the backup
server (spare interface becomes the POP server interface, etc).
I've done the latter at an ISP long ago. It was *never* used.
It was always easier to just fix the 'dead' machine (swap a power
supply, whatever). My experience is that machines rarely actually
die, hard.

Actually there are a bunch of packages which do, including
the squirrelmail web frontend.

Pop3 uses cleartext passwords. There are SSL extensions circulating for
it too.

If you use plaintext pop3, you're just as vulnerable anyway - and most
people still do.
Perspective is definitely needed on this - if unencrypted pop3 is in use
then there is little extra danger posed by unencrypted poppassd -
however I avoid running _any_ unencrypted services in this day and
age....
> I'd use a web page (https) and a CGI to change the password that way.
The CGI can be dangerous in itself.
My recent solution (remember I helped develop the linux port) was to
bind poppassd to the loopback port on the server, force users to use
https Squirrelmail from that server and get them to change password that
way.
We (manawatu.net.nz) developed a small poppassd cgi interface around 8
years ago, but that code was crufty and probably contained buffer
overflow vulnerbailities. Don't use it.

The Qpopper FAQ say that it doesn't support virtual hosting
(http://www.eudora.com/qpopper/faq.html#virt.dom). What's strange is
that my current hosting provider seems to be using Qpopper (according to
telnet) yet they definitely are virtual hosting me.
$telnet mydomain.com 110
Trying HIDDEN_IP ...
Connected to mydomain.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Qpopper (version 4.0.5) at mydomain.com starting.
They use .procmailrc to search for configured usernames and create files
in $HOME/mail/ that correspond to each username. For instance,
.procmailrc will look for bob at domain dot com and put all of the his email in
$HOME/mail/bob where $HOME is the virtual account's home directory.
If this is supported, please point me at instructions on settting it up.
Thanks,
Michael

Subject: maillog not logging pop3 checks
Hi all -
I'm running a redhat 7.3 system with qpopper 4.0.3. I cannot figure out
why the "maillog" log will not keep track of who is logging in and out
of the server to check their pop3 mail. I'm used to seeing lines like this:
Nov 10 11:54:57 server1 ipop3d[12614]: pop3 service init from xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Nov 10 11:54:57 server1 ipop3d[12614]: Login user=xxxxxx
host=somehost.com [xx.xxx.xxx.xxx] nmsgs=0/0
Nov 10 11:54:57 server1 ipop3d[12614]: Logout user=xxxxxx
host=somehost.com [xx.xxx.xxx.xxx] nmsgs=0 ndele=0
But for some reason the maillog for this server isn't catching the
logins or logouts. Is there a way that I can change this? I really need
to keep track of it for debugging purposes.
Thanks.

Subject: qpopper + ssl problems
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2003 03:20:48 +0100
hi there!
i tried to use qpopper with ssl but it don´t want to work.
i get always this error when i try to test qpopper with ssl:
root at Homer: openssl s_client -key ca dot key -cert cert dot pem -ssl2 -connect
homer:pop3s
Enter PEM pass phrase:
CONNECTED(00000003)
write:errno=104
in /var/log/maillog:
Homer popper[31320]: Config file /etc/mail/pop/qpopper.config line 3 too
long
this is the content of the /etc/mail/pop/qpopper.config file:
set tls-support = alternate-port
set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/certs/cert.pem
set tls-private-key-file = /etc/mail/certs/privatekey.pem
what i did:
compiled qpopper with ssl support
./configure --with-openssl=/usr/local/openssl
no errors
make & make install
i put this in the /etc/inetd.conf:
spop3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/local/sbin/popper -s -f
/etc/mail/pop/qpopper.config
instead of the normal pop3 section
/etc/services is also ok:
pop3s 995/tcp spop3 # pop3 protocol over TLS/SSL
pop3s 995/udp spop3 # pop3 protocol over TLS/SSL
now i made some dirs in /etc/mail :
mkdir /etc/mail/certs
mkdir /etc/mail/pop
chmod 600 /etc/mail/certs
chmod 600 /etc/mail/pop
i created an CA_Key:
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 1024
created an CA_Certificate:
openssl req -new -x509 -days 3650 -key ca.key -out ca.crt
created certificate for testing:
openssl req -new -nodes -key ca.key -out req.pem -keyout cert.pem
confirm the testcertificate:
openssl x509 -req -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -days 3650 -in req.pem -out
cert.pem -CAcreateserial
changed key:
openssl rsa -in ca.key -out privatekey.pem
when i check the sums it´s all the same:
openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in cert.pem | openssl md5
openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in ca.key | openssl md5
openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in privatekey.pem | openssl md5
now i copied the privatekey.pem and cert.pem:
cp privatekey.pem ../certs/
cp cert.pem ../certs/
cd ../certs
chmod 600 *
kill HUP -inetdid
when i test now the connection with this method from /etc/mail/pop/:
openssl s_client -key ca.key -cert cert.pem -ssl2 -connect homer:pop3s
i get the error from above
does anyone knows wheres my error?
my system is: slackware 8.1, 2.4.22, qpopper4.0.4, openssl-0.9.7
thanks for help!

Mine's running in 'server-mode', not out of inetd, but the line 3 error
above seems significant. Here's what I have in my config:
set tls-support = alternate-port
set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/certs/cert.pem
Both the private key and the cert are in the cert.pem file.

Subject: quota issues
Date: Fri, 14 Nov 2003 11:52:30 -0500
Hi there, I'm hoping that someone can help me out with issues that I'm
having here.
Our user mailboxes are sitting in a /var/mail filesystem. Users have a
hard
quota of 10MB.
When a user checks their email, qpopper appears to move /var/mail/user
to
/var/spool/poptemp/.user.pop
This frees up their available storage in /var/mail. Mail that has been
queued up for them in /var/spool/mqueue can now be put into
/var/mail/user
The problem lies in fact that many of our users access their mail using
a
web interface that does not download the messages to the local machine.
When the user is done looking at their email, qpopper attempts to move
/var/spool/poptemp/.user.pop back to /var/mail/user. This file in the
mean
time has had mail added to it and now the user ends up with quota
problems.
Also they end up with 10MB at /var/spool/poptemp/.user.pop and whatever
back
at /var/mail/user
I'm guessing that if /var was the only filesystem in play here this
might
help, however I didn't have the disk space for that. (Remember that
/var/mail is it's own filesystem.)
I've tried moving poptemp to /var/mail/poptemp, but that made things
worse.
The 10MB /var/mail quota did not allow a 10MB file to be moved from
/var/mail/user to /var/mail/poptemp/.user.pop For at least a brief
period
of time both files exist and that 20MB can't be held in their 10MB
quota.
I've been dealing with this by temporarily increasing individuals quotas
and
mailbox cleanup.
Any suggestions?
I hope this isn't "clear as mud."

Mine's running in 'server-mode', not out of inetd, but the line 3 error
above seems significant. Here's what I have in my config:
set tls-support = alternate-port
set tls-server-cert-file = /etc/mail/certs/cert.pem
Both the private key and the cert are in the cert.pem file.

Subject: problem with .qpopper-options
Date: Sun, 16 Nov 2003 03:18:15 -0600
Hi All,
This is my first post to this mailing list, so my apologies if this has been
asked before. I'm having a hard time setting the home-dir-mail variable in
the user .qpopper-options file and would like some assistance. I have a one
line file:
set home-dir-mail = /home/<USER>/Mail/mbox
I'm running qpopper out of inetd with the -u flag. Everything works like a
champ, except for the fact that I need qpopper to read mail out of a
different mail dir on a per user basis. In this case, I've tried to change
the user's mail dir to a file in their own directory to no avail.
This is the error message I get in the logs, username removed:
qpopper[44480]: Unable to process user options file for user <USER>
[pop_config.c:1547]
Any ideas? I've read the FAQ and everything else I can find, but nothing
seems to work.
[ ... ]
Can Qpopper use $HOME/Mailbox as the mail spool?
Add --enable-home-dir-mail=Mailbox to the ./configure command or add set
home-dir-mail = Mailbox to a configuration file.
[ ... ]
I would greatly appreciate any helpful tips!
Cheers,
-- steve

as I understand it, you can't set this to an absolute path. It takes a
relative path, just like the --enable-home-dir-mail option does. They both
do the same thing. (See the qpopper admin guide)

set home-dir-mail = Mailbox
SHOULD work..if not, then maybe you can't use it in a user config file,
only the global one. if it's going to be global, then i'd just use the
./configure option and not put this option in any config file.
i don't claim to be an expert though, so..

Okay... I went ahead and set the --enable option and it seems to work if I
set it globally on the system. However, I need to be able to set this on a
per user basis instead. Is this possibly a bug in FreeBSD or are others
able to set this parameter properly in their user .qpopper-options files?
Thanks muchly,

This is SO weird.
If I set an option that qpopper doesn't recognize in .qpopper-options I get
a different error message:

If I set the command to what it should look like (one line only), I always
get this:

Could it be a permissions problem? I've tried changing the permissions to

I know my syntax is right, but for some reason Qpopper always complains
about my user configuration file.

Subject: Qpopper + PAM/libldap
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2003 18:05:32 +1100
G'day,
I've setup the PAM module pam_ldap (written by PADL) and it correctly authenticates users with UNIX accounts setup on the server (Debian 3).
The issue been that I don't want UNIX accounts on the server, I want the username/password to be validated on the LDAP directory and accepted.
I the problem would have been that the directory lookup doesn't supply a UID or GID, but according to the mail logs, when qpopper is running in debug mode, the PAM database is never looked up.
I'm not sure if this can be remedied, any assistance would be appreciated.

Helo,
I download openssl package from

package into my Sun Sparc Solaris 9 server.
After configuring the Qpopper 4.0.5 with --with-openssl option
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/pop --enable-shy --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl
and following the procedures of 'How do I use TLS/SSL with Qpopper'
However, when I type:

no not,
I get the:

I check the existence of libssl.so.0.9.7 and find it is under
/usr/local/ssl/lib directory.
Any help on this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Is this in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH path when inetd starts popper? If not,
you'll need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH before starting inetd...
See /etc/init.d/inetsvc...

Use crle and add /usr/local/ssl/lib to the path. For instance,
crle -l /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/opt/sfw/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib

It doesn't sound like a qpopper issue then.
But you don't WANT to LDAP servers. You want one name space.
An ldap server can send you off to another server if that part
of the namespace tree is served there.
(host1 serves dc=example,dc=com
and everything else for it.
host2 serves dc=dmz,dc=example,dc=com
so host1 needs a reference to that to point you to host2 for dmz
queries.
You migth take it to a solaris or LDAP list...

Most PAM-application like telnet, ftp, IMAP is workable but Qpoper will

(don't cc me, I'm on the list).
QPopper queries PAM. PAM uses the LDAP config.
The issue you are having has to do with Solaris and PAM,
not qpopper.

The only configurable option in qpopper configure is only with-pam-enable.
It don't have options to enable ldap authentication. My queries is that why
qpopper will look up the entries directly at /var/ldap/ldap_client_file if
it is just pam enable.
Other application like telnet, ftp,imap with pam-enable will not have this
problem. So, I think the problem is from qpopper.

This is a definite bug. LDAP clients are supposed to support multiple

Subject: SSL Cerificate expired, qpopper not using new one
Date: Sat, 6 Dec 2003 10:56:46 -0600
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Using FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE and qpopper 4.0.3_1.
I have been using qpopper ssl over port 995 for some time. Actually
its been exactly 1 year. The problem is that my certificate has
expired, but I can't figure out how to get qpopper and Outlook to use
the new certificate I've made.
I've followed the instructions in the qpopper faq regarding the
creaton of a self signed certificate. I've put all the new files in
the location where my previously working certificates where working.
I've also installed ca.crt into my copy of Outlook via a right click
and Install Certificate. When I restart Outlook or my PC, I get this
error:
"The server you are connected to is using
a security certificate warning that could not be verified.
A required certificate is not within its validity period
when verifying against the current system clock or the
time stamp in the signed file.
Do you want to continue using this server?"
I click Ok and things work fine, but some of my users are getting
annoyed at having to deal with that dialog box all the time.
I'm sure this is just an issue of a misconfigured config file, but I
can't find which one.
I'm starting qopper via /etc/inetd.conf:

I have experienced the same issue on Solaris 9 with LDAP auth and Qpopper.
If we push an LDAP client configuration which contains multiple LDAP
servers, the system can authenticate IMAP, SMTP and SSH clients, but Qpopper
doesn't authenticate until we return the LDAP configuration to a single
host.

Probably user's mail client or AV software choking on a message, possibly
the one downloaded 10+ times but more likely the one AFTER it. Or if user
is on a dialup link, possibly disconnecting from Internet before finishing
download of large message.
Session times out without QUIT from mail client, so popper leaves deleted
messages in mailspool because it has no way to be sure they were really
downloaded successfully.
If you have webmail, delete all messages up to the one downloaded 10+ times
plus the one after it. Most webmail SW will show which messages have
already been "opened" by POP3 client, usually the problem message is the
first unopened. You can also telnet to port 110 and delete messages 1 and 2
assuming the one downloaded 10+ times is sitting at #1. I would probably
do:
telnet <address of pop3 server> 110
user <username>
pass <password>
top 1 1 (verify which message is at #1)
dele 1
dele 2
quit

I've seen it happen to a user with _one_ message in the inbox and 1%
quota.
The quickest fix is to zero the mailbox or go into it with Pine or a
similar local spool reader and kill the offending message there.

In this case there is no quota and the user has 40 msg in the inbox but
this is the only one that is being downloaded time after time. And there
have been messages received after this one was and those do not get
downloaded again. Very weird if you ask me.
Also I'm running Qpopper (version 4.0.5) on a RH Linux 9.0 server. The
client is running on a Sony Notebook XP and Outlook 2003
Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.

Which messages to download, which to leave on server, and which to delete
from server, is under control of the mail client. It issues RETR and DELE
commands and the mailserver does as told. If you are saying that messages
before and after have been downloaded and do not get downloaded again, but
this one gets downloaded repeatedly, then Outlook is confused thinking this
message is new. Maybe it using UIDL and the ID is corrupted.
If it is a one-time rather than recurring problem, why not just delete the
offending message from the mailspool and be done with it?

I havn't been following this thread closely, but are they using Outlook
Express and/or a virus scanner which intercepts their email client (pop3
proxy) ?
If so there's your problem. Both Outlook Express and some email virus
scanning software are buggy and hang on downloading *some* particular
messages. I've never quite been able to determine *what* it is about the
messages that they don't like, but I have been able to reproduce it
reliably - it will always stop on the same message.
Apart from telling them to change to better email software and/or different
virus scanning software the only "solution" is to delete the offending
message via a webmail interface.
IMHO it's not a qpopper bug or problem at all...

Simon

Norton's is certainly *one* of the culprits :) I didn't say any names
because I'm not sure which virus scanners *don't* cause the problem,
rather than which ones do. For example we've seen the same problem with
McAffee, so it's not just Nortons.

Subject: RE: Messages downloading multiple times
Another culprit is sendmail
When a user sends a message to multiple addresses in the same domain and
one of those addresses has a "Full" mailbox, (Over Quota) sendmail delivers
the message to all but the full mailbox.
It then returns an error to the sender saying that a mailbox is full and it
will retry sending for 4 days.
sendmail then sends the message to all addressees and continues to do so
until it is successfully delivered to all addressees.

When I encountered the problem it was a Eudora bug. Updating to the
then-current version fixed it, but early versions were prone to this
problem.

Uh..... That should NEVER happen.
Sendmail keeps track of sucessful and unsucessful deliveries. If you're
seeing this behaviour then something is really badly broken.
