[SPAM] Problem with authentication


Hello!

I just set up a new instance of vpopmail, but it's not going as well as it usually does. I've set up about 10 or so
servers over the past years, and usually the installation goes very smoothly.

The problem is with authentication.

When I run my test:

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup blah /home/vpopmail/bin/vhckpw pwd
+OK <17922.1333842429 <at> blah>
user test <at> test.com
+OK 
pass asdf
-ERR authorization failed

Usually that test works just fine...

Has something changed?

Thanks!

So look at /var/log/maillog and what does it say about your test as
the reason for the failure?

Re: [SPAM] Problem with authentication


Hi Chris,

Thanks for your very quick reply.

Message is: password fail

I tried vmkpasswd, and also tried creating a brand new test domain and user, but get the same problem.

Cheers,

Ok, now I am very embarrassed. :-(

Turns out that the problem was so simple, I was just too blind to see it!

Thank you VERY MUCH for all the comments. Probably I would have never found the typo.

Best,

bounce mail destined to non-existant accounts & keep a copy locally

I would like to ( bounce the email AND keep a copy ) that was destined 
to a non-existent vpop user.

I see than I can bounce
-OR-
deliver a copy

But it does not seem that I can easily do both at the same time.

Re: bounce mail destined to non-existant accounts & keep a copy locally

Why not use procmail for that?
Should be quite straightforward.

I think you're right (keyword: easily).

You could tap the whole domain to some other domain's account, then use 
a filter on the tap account to delete all emails addressed to existing 
vpop users. Keeping the filter in sync with user accounts may or may not 
be troublesome.

Re: Re: bounce mail destined to non-existant accounts & keep a copy locally

I found it was easier to edit the vdelivermail.c program to do both.

[SPAM] Cannot Authenticate When "popping" mail

I have searched my problem extensively on the web and even in the
archives on this list without success.  I say without success because
there were many similar problems with different configurations going
back to about 2003 but in many cases, the question I am about to ask 
was ignored on the lists.

I have installed netqmail + vpopmail + ezmlm dozens of times without any
problems following "Life With Qmail" explicitly and the instruction with
vpopmail.  I have had 3 failed attempts using 64bit CentOS 6.0, 6.1 and
now 6.2.  Everything functions - qmailadmin works and authenticates,
mail is received on the server and mail can be sent BUT popping the mail
 from the server fails with the error "Unable to connect to server 
'servername' Cannot send password".

My mailer configuration is exactly the same as I use on working setups.
I have wasted days on a solution - even trying older and the development
versions of vpopmail.  The version I am currently using is 5.4.33.

The following is my /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-pop3d/run script.

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/softlimit -m 10000000 \
    /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -v -R -H -l 0 0 110 /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup \
        FQDN_disguised /home/vpopmail/bin/vchkpw /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1

vchkpw indeed resides where it should be as outlined above.  The mail arrives in a Maildir folder exactly as
it should.  There are several domains, each being set up from scratch using vadddomain and then users were
added with qmailadmin which functions normally.

My bad experiences have only been with CentOS 6.X and I manage several other servers running CentOS 5.X
