ezmlm + chk_usr

[dorianfm]

Hi,

I'm having a somewhat perplexing problem. I've installed toaster 4.08 and all is working beautifully, except one little problem:

When I set up an ezmlm list mail, on a vpopmail managed domain, called mailto:announce@example.com" target="_blank">announce@example.com, which chkuser ignores the .qmail-announce-default for. In my standard setup a mail to  mailto:announce-subscribe@example.com" target="_blank">announce-subscribe@example.com or mailto:announce-unsubscribe@example.com" target="_blank">announce-unsubscribe@example.com is rejected, with the message:

Remote host said: 511 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1 - chkuser)

but if .qmail-default is removed  the messages to those admin address's are delivered.

.qmail-default contains:

| /usr/local/vpopmail/bin/vdelivermail '' bounce-no-mailbox

A message to announce@ is processed by ezmlm as expected, suggesting that there isn't a problem with the basic list setup.

I've checked the settings for chkuser in /usr/local/src/mail/netqmail-1.05-toaster-3.0.patch, assuing this is what's used, and it's got CHKUSER_ENABLE_EZMLM_LISTS set and CHKUSER_EZMLM_DASH set to "-" as, I believe, it should be. I've toggled these and rebuilt qmail with toaster_setup.pl -s qmail to no avail.

I haven't changed the patch(es) in any other way from the original distribution.

This problem is occuring on (at least) two different systems that I have toaster installed on.

Is there any other places I should be looking to test settings, or other information I should post?

Obviously I can remove .qmail-default to get the lists working, but I like how chk_user works and would rather not ditch it's functionality.

Any help/ideas/suggestions you can provide are much appreciated

And it's the worlds quickest response to someones own post for him...

In case you have the same problem, edit /usr/local/src/mail/netqmail-1.05-toaster-3.0.patch change

+ /* #define CHKUSER_ENABLE_ALIAS_DEFAULT */

to

+ #define CHKUSER_ENABLE_ALIAS_DEFAULT

(IE uncomment it, but don't remove the patch +)

then

toster_setup.pl -s qmail

To rebuild qmail.

OK, I've just upgraded to Toaster 5.05 (Hmmmm, is this even released Matt? - I just grabbed the latest .tar.gz I could see.) on FreeBSD and I've encountered the same problem. Well, it's slightly different.

Ezmlm list exists (from previous install) users@example.com

standard .qmail aliases are there, .qmail-users, .qmail-users-default etc.

mail to users-subscribe (which should be handled by .qmail-users-default) is stopped by vchckuser:

sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1 - chkuser)

I've applied the changes I did above to /usr/local/src/mail/netqmail-1.05-toaster-3.1.patch

If I remove .qmail-default from /usr/local/vpopmail/domain/example.com/ then the mail no longer get's bounced, it just gets accepted then >/dev/null (as far as I can tell). This happens for any mail to example.com, even to valid aliases and accounts on example.com.

I'm a bit stumped, as I'd have assumed my previous changes would have worked. Any suggestions?

what version of ezmlm?  You might have to revert to 0.4? because the chkuser patches doesn't work with the newest versions of ezmlm.

[dorianfm]

ahh... it's ezmlml-0.53+ezmlm-idx-0.40 ... is that 0.53 or 0.4 then? I get a bit confused as I see people refer to the idx version as definitive in one place and the pre-idx patch ezmlm version as definitive in another.

Thanks.
