Basicly it is the same "structure" as /etc/passwd entries,
except the uid is not really used and the gid field uses
the following bit flags.

from vpopmail.h
/* gid flags */
#define NO_PASSWD_CHNG 0x01
#define NO_POP 0x02
#define NO_WEBMAIL 0x04
#define NO_IMAP 0x08
#define BOUNCE_MAIL 0x10
#define NO_RELAY 0x20
#define NO_DIALUP 0x40
#define V_USER0 0x080
#define V_USER1 0x100
#define V_USER2 0x200
#define V_USER3 0x400
#define NO_SMTP 0x800
#define QA_ADMIN 0x1000

In addition the pw_shell field contains the quota
and if you have enabled clear passwords, it follows the pw_shell field

It's all in the source code

quotas exceeded problem

Hi, I am noticing a problem with quota's. For instance, vqadmin shows that I have 10000000 for quota. However, there are only about 200 messages from lists such as this one. On another email account I have, I deleted all mesgs, waited for about 20 to show up from email lists, tried to mv the messages into folders and get the '[ALERT] You exceeded your mail quota'. The setup for vpopmail was: --enable-defaultquota=2000000 I had thought that meant a 'default' which could be overridden on a per-user basis. How can I fix this up. Thanks for your help. Paul

SqWebmail, Qmailadmin not authenticating

Hello, Last week I setup Qmail + Vpopmail + Courier-IMAP + Sqwebmail + Qmailadmin (and ucspi-tcp, of course!) for a Customer (using vchkpw to authenticate). Initially installed everything using Qinstall, but had some problems with Vpopmail not authenticating. On someone's advice, I recompiled/installed Vpopmail and Courier-IMAP with the following options: Vpopmail: ./configure --enable-roaming-users=y --enable-clear-passwd=y --enable-logging=e Courier-IMAP: ./configure --disable-auto-rename-sent --without-authpwd --without-autoshadow --without-authpam --without-auth-userdb -- without-authmysql --without-authpgsql --without-ldap Everything was authenticating properly afterwards. However, when I go to Sqwebmail (still compiled from the Qinstall), I am unable to log in as any of the virtual users: I get authentication failure. I am using the full email address as the username. It's the same thing with Qmailadmin: I try to log in as the postmaster for any of the virtual domains, and get authentication failure. On the same person's advice, I tried recompiling Qmailadmin with almost the same options as Courier-IMAP (i.e., turning off all authentication methods except vchkpw), but that did not help. I also did add the '--htmldir', '--html-libdir', and '--cgibindir' options to point to the directories I was installing them to (I setup a virtual host in my websites directory) I am not sure what I have done wrong here, or why it is not authenticating. Maybe someone here does, or has some suggestions?

vpasswd format

Hi, I would like to understand the format of vpasswd file, specially regarding those codes used to allow and deny the access to some services like pop, disable account and so on. Is there some documentation about it? I didn't find anything in vpopmail docs. Ciao Giorgio
