Are the passwords not encrypted (doesn't look like it based on the examples)? I'm not Kam ;-) but I'll try to help nonetheless. The POP3 protocol has two authentication methods: standard and APOP. The standard authentication (USER/PASS) sends the password through the wire in cleartext. No encryption is done. This is how most programs use it. The APOP authentication sends (in cleartext) the user name and an MD5 hash of a string consisting of the server greetings (includes time of the greetings, so is partially random), user name and his password. The server does the same calculations and can tell whether or not the client uses the same password. Three issues with APOP: 1) it's vulnerable to dictionary attacks (all data except the password is sent in the clear), 2) it requires that the server has access to cleartext passwords (rather uncommon in UNIX/Linux), 3) some mail clients do not understand this protocol. Don't know of any other method of POP3 authentication. The two described above are the only ones mentioned in RFCs. In short: forget it. > 2. How do you specify what domain the user belongs to for /non/ IP-based domains? For non-IP-based domains, every user must be unique _throughout_the_whole_server_. It means you can only have one admin, one webmaster, etc. (This can be solved to a degree on SMTP level with address rewriting or mail aliasing.) The POP3 protocol simply does not provide a way for the client to request the specific virtual host in a way HTTP/1.1 does. IP-based virtual domains do not have that limitation. In both cases, there is a file which lists user<->virtual domain mappings. Don't recall it's name, but it's described in the docs. I don't recall having any problems with setting it up; however, I don't recall any details, either. Peter Sulecki.

Yup, that's what we do around here, also, but you are NOT contradicting Piotr, the username, taken as a whole "joe.d.user@example.com" IS unique _throughout_the_whole_server_ as Piotr says. You should be seriously tempted to inform your users to use the "#" instead of "@" since many clients (most notable Netscape) try to be clever than you and when you say "joe.d.user@example.com" as "username" in POP configuration, help you by translating it to "joe.d.user" :-( It is possible to change (at least in Nestcape), but only by means of editing a config file by hand... > > cya > Andrew > > > > -- > No one ever says "It's only a game," when their team is winning. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: solidpop3d-list-unsubscribe@lists.pld.org.pl > For additional commands, e-mail: solidpop3d-list-help@lists.pld.org.pl > -- Mariano Absatz - El Baby mailto:baby@baby.com.ar http://www.baby.com.ar/ PGP KEYS: http://www.baby.com.ar/datos/personales.html#claves_pgp |\ _ _\\/'> Powered by Pegasus Mail /|__) http://www.pmail.com ) )\ ----------------------------------------------------------- Pentiums melt in your PC, not in your hand.

Maybe a longer story will help: Right now I have several virtually hosted email domains already set up on one of my servers, using postfix and gnu-pop3d (with the virtual user patch applied). Gnu-POP3d is not performing good enough, and I understand it's not fully pop3 protocol compliant, some userland mail apps complain about it, and since it doesn't support the UIDL command, Kmail and Athera can't properly deal with interval don't-delete-from-server mail checking. So it was suggested that I either use SolidPOP, teapop or vpopd. Solid pop looks like the best so far. So what I"m trying to do here is replace gun-pop3d with solid pop WITHOUT disturbing my current system (I can't, it would upset our clients) The way it's set up is as follows: First note, in case it makes any difference (I don't think so, but maybe) the servers are all SuSE 7.1 For system users, gnu-pop3d uses PAM (as I see SolidPOP does), and gets their mail out of /var/mail/, which is of course where postfix delivers as per the FHS. Now, for virtual users, we have postfix set to deliver to local spool files as follows: /var/spool/virtual// For Example: /var/spool/virtual/centexit.com/jw /var/spool/virtual/centexit.com/fred /var/spool/virtual/myotherdomain.com/jw /var/spool/virtual/myotherdomain.com/fred Note that there can be a user with the exact same name in each domain. The reason we're using this particular spool set up is that that's how gnu-pop3d wants it, i.e. when I my mail application logs in as jw:centexit.com it's going to look in /var/spool/virtual/centexit.com/ for a spool files named "jw". So question #1 is, will solid pop also look in /var/spool/virtual/domain.tld, or do I need to use a different setup? Please keep in mind that I really must not disturb the mail system! How for the second questions: the username/password files. For gnu-pop3d we put a file named passwd, one per domain, in /etc/virtual/. For example: /etc/virtual/centexit.com/passwd /etc/virtual/myotherdomain.net/passwd The contents of the passwd files are simple username:encrypted_password like so: # cat /etc/virtual/centexit.com/passwd jw:0PI7zfzU8I9cU henry:Od5ODZaK1XGHI fred:K13KJ9x21KEj6 I use Apache's htpasswd to make do the encryption (I guess that's "Standard UNIX crypt()", right? This is the thing I'm most unclear about. For NON-IP based domains, how do I set up the passwords for SolidPOP to use, and can I still use htpasswd to encrypt them (are they encrypted at all for SolidPOP)? Answers to these Qs would be most appreciated :-) Again, it's very important that I not wreak up our current system Thanks! [1] there is one of these directories for every domain name that we "virtually" host. in our case we currently run virtual hosting about 10 domains [2] the files are simply named user_name, just like system spool are. ---------------------------------------------------- Jonathan Wilson System Administrator Cedar Creek Software http://www.cedarcreeksoftware.com Central Texas IT http://www.centraltexasit.com From wilson at claborn.net Tue Jul 10 22:55:08 2001 From: wilson at claborn.net (Jonathan Wilson) Date: Tue Dec 20 11:33:47 2005 Subject: Setting up (WAS Re: Test, is this list active?)

Maybe it's a bit clearer for the rest if you forward it ;) K, well I"m forwarding only the relevant parts, so that I won't get flamed for postings that are full of extras :-) I'm still not clear what I need in my config file, or how to make the data base. Right now the config file looks like this: ChangeGID yes AutoLogoutTime 10m DoMapping yes PreAuthMap f1-%s MailDropName /var/spool/virtual/mail2.servicemail123.com/%s MailDropType mailbox DpUIDEnable yes DpUIDUser spop3d DpUIDDBFile /etc/virtual/mail3.servicemail123.com DoMapping yes PreAuthMap f1-%s MailDropName /var/spool/virtual/mail3.servicemail123.com/%s MailDropType mailbox Now, it looks like I make one db per virtual domain, am I correct? The following confuses me (from the spdbm man page): ...are read from standard input in following format: username:password:apop_secret:sasl_secret:mail? drop_name:maildrop_type if spdbm works in domain-per-uid mode or: username:mapname if spdbm works in mapping mode. Each entry should be in separate line. ..... I don't understand how the modes are set? Also I'm apparently doing the wrong thing with spdbm. I tried the following command:spdbm -cf /etc/virtual/mail2.servicemail123.com/mail2.servicemail123.com But It just echos "Solid POP3 database management utility" to the console and sits there. I perceive it wants me to type something in (maybe the pasword?) but when I do I get this response: test missing separator in line: test So I tried adding a username: spdbm -cf /etc/virtual/mail2.servicemail123.com/mail2.servicemail123.com jw And it I get "command line error: mapname not specified".

In the meantime, you can make it work just like this, I guess.
