vpopmail postfix devel mailing list / calling all experts

Howdy folks,

Due to recent displays of interest for vpopmail/postfix integration on this 
and other mailing lists, I have decided to take on the task of figuring out 
exactly how one might do it.  Unfortunately, I am not completely up to par on 
my postfix knowledge (read: noob), so I've decided to set up a mailing list 
for discussion of postfix/vpopmail integration.

The mailing list address is vchkpw-pf-dev <at> inter7.com, and you can subscribe by 
sending an email to vchkpw-pf-dev-subscribe <at> inter7.com

I have a few ideas of how it might be done, however they all seem rather 
'hackish' and I'd like to get input from people who are more knowledgable 
about the subect than I.  If you're interested in helping with the 
development of vpopmail postfix support, please join :)  I will probably wait 
until monday after I have read some more documentation and thrown some 
designs together before I post any of my own ideas  to the list, however, 
feel free to break the ice and start discussing how you think it should be 
done :)

In the end, I'm sure there will be a lot of new code written... certain things 
that will need to change (however, backward compatibility and MTA portability 
are my #1 concern) .. and a lot of time spent, however, I believe this will 
be very positive for the community and help to spread the use of vpopmail 
around the internet community.

Thanks, and I hope to see some people on the list :)

I wrote a postfix wrapper for vdelivermail 1.5 years ago. With the
wrapper you can use either qmail or postfix with vpopmail. Also the
wrapper does not require qmail to be installed.

Some postfix error code from sys_exits.h could have changed. If any
one wants to hack the code below, they are free do do. Also like any
other free software, my code comes
without warranty or obligations. I also claim no copyrights, etc. You
are free to do anything with the code (except to involve me). If you
do something useful with the code, let me know :)

1. Edit main.cf and master.cf (assuming you have installed and
configured postfix)

Have the following in main.cf

local_transport = vdel
vdel_destination_recipient_limit = 1

Have the following line in master.cf (mind the line wrap)
vdel     unix  -       n       n       -       100       pipe 
 flags=Fq. user=vpopmail argv=/var/vpopmail/bin/postdel -u $user -d
$recipient -r $sender

2. Compile postdel.c
   gcc postdel.c -s -O -o postdel
   cp postdel /var/vpopmail/bin

HELP! Upgrading to Mysql 4.1 problem

I've just upgraded to mysql 4.1. Now vpopmail can't find the
libmysqlclient.so.12 library. When accessing the db I get the error:

"error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.12: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory"

I reconfigured and re-compiled vpopmail with original config etc. with no
luck.

Please help!

migration from 4.9 to 5.4+mysql

Hi all,
I want to migrate some domains from vpopmail 4.9.10 (with cdb) to latest 5.4 
with mysql. On 5.2 versions, crypt passwords from 4.9 are valid on new 
installations with md5, but on mysql it seems to fail (I has replaced 
pw_passwd field with the encrypted password from vpasswd file and it fail to 
auth), how can I migrate passwords from 4.9 to mysql? All passwords are  
encrypted, any solution?
Regards,
Eduardo

Re: migration from 4.9 to 5.4+mysql

vconvert is the solution, sorry

Ron,

You need to install the shared compatibility libraries.

For example, on my Fedora Core 2 box:

[root <at> dude opt]# rpm -qi MySQL-shared-compat
