Yes.  I was so focused on making sure I was copying unrecognized lines 
from the old .qmail file, that I didn't fully test the code on accounts 
without a .qmail file!

Here's the patch.  The block of 8 lines removed in the second section 
are actually just indented.  This will go into CVS shortly, and will be 
in the next release.  Thanks for catching it.

Others are interested in having this, and if you've built it as a 
compile-time option, I'd love to see it.  Does it preserve the fields 
as hidden for non-admins?

Yes, I'd be interested in that as well.

[qmailadmin-devel] Problem with qmailadmin 1.2.6 and Vacation messages

[John P. <jpe...@ro...>]

I downloaded 1.2.6 for testing (since I was formerly running 1.2.2).  If 
I log in as an ordinary user and attempt to set the Vacation message, I 
get an error in the Apache log:

	Premature end of script headers

but if I resubmit exactly the same page, it works.  What I've discovered 
is that if I check the virtual user directory after the failure but 
before the second submit, the .qmail file has been created, but it is 
empty.  After the second submit, the .qmail file is populated and the 
vacation directory exists.

This is 100% repeatable.

Any clues?

John

p.s. anyone want a couple of my local patches:

1) suppress Forward/Deleted status for non-admin users
2) enable to use of CRACKLIB for strong password support

[qmailadmin-devel] QmailAdmin 1.2.6 [devel] released

[Tom C. <to...@to...>]

http://qmailadmin.sf.net/

Release Notes:

As with the last release, this one should not be used on production
machines until it can be tested further.

We've made more updates to the code that manages a user's .qmail
file, fixing some long-standing problems in the process.  QmailAdmin
will now preserve any unrecognized program delivery lines in the
.qmail file when writing out changes.  Additionally, the vacation auto-
responder always appears last (to avoid losing messages) and is
now a checkbox option to any of the three account types (standard,
deleted, forwarded).

Please test this release by temporarily installing it, and using the
'Modify User' page to confirm that it is correctly interpreting existing
.qmail files, and is writing out changes correctly.

ChangeLog:

Tom Collins
- user.c: fix bug in handling .qmail files with blank lines.
- user.c: new catchall option, forward unknown users to remote
   domain (e.g., x -> x...@do..., y -> y...@do..., etc.)  To use,
   enter "@<domain>" for remote address catchall. [910410]
- util.c: fix check_email_addr() (previously accepted invalid
   punctuation in domain part of address).
- user.c: modusergo() function that writes out user's .qmail file
   now keeps unrecognized program delivery lines. [994319]
- Change 'Vacation' option to checkbox on 'Modify User' page.  Can
   now have vacation response with forward (and delete). [800254]

[qmailadmin-devel] Bug handling blank lines in .qmail files in 1.2.5

[Tom C. <to...@to...>]

If you're running the new 1.2.5 development release, please be aware 
that there's a bug in how it handles blank lines.  It has been fixed in 
CVS and will go into the 1.2.6 release.  Here's the patch for anyone 
who needs it.

[qmailadmin-devel] QmailAdmin 1.2.5 released (devel)

[Tom C. <to...@to...>]

http://qmailadmin.sf.net/

Release Notes:

This release is mainly code cleanup.  Function declarations were
moved into header files, and we now compile QmailAdmin with
all warnings on.

I made changes to the code to eliminate all compiler warnings
(fixing some problems in the process).  Due to the large number
of changes, this release will be classified as "devel" until it has had
more testing.

In addition to the main code cleanup, I rewrote the code that
parses a user's .qmail file and made a slight change in how .qmail
files with vacation responses are written.  This is the first step
toward fixing a number of known problems with .qmail files.

ChangeLog:

Tom Collins
- Remove unnecessary name attributes in SUBMIT buttons. [869292]
- When adding a mailing list, automatically subscribe the
   list owner and make them a moderator/remote admin. [892489]
- user.c: deliver mail to Maildir before sending vacation message
   in order to prevent autorespond from losing messages.
- Move .qmail parsing code from template.c to user.c.  Rewrite
   for more flexibility and to allow new format for vacation.
- configure.in: Compile with all warnings on.
- Add header files: alias.h auth.h autorespond.h cgi.h command.h
   dotqmail.h forward.h limits.h mailinglist.h show.h template.h
   user.h util.h.
- Modify .c files to use header files, fix function prototypes,
   definitions and calls for consistent parameter passing and
   return values.
- Modify code to eliminate all compiler warnings.

This is nice but i need to limit aliases and forwards for billing, i'll try 
to modify the source but i think it would be useful for other people to 
allow separate limits. What do you think about it?

During development of 1.2, we combined aliases and forwards into one.  
You can now have addresses that forward to multiple addresses, either 
local or remote.

[qmailadmin-devel] QmailAdmin 1.2.4 released (development)

[Tom C. <to...@to...>]

http://qmailadmin.sf.net/

Release Notes:

Due to the widespread changes, this release should not be used for
production systems until it has been more thoroughly tested.

The most significant change relates to how QmailAdmin inserts certain
strings into the pages it generates.  It will now properly escape 
strings
so it is impossible to embed HTML tags in user-supplied data.  This
prevents cross site scripting attacks.

It also properly encodes these strings when inserting them as "GET"
parameters to further qmailadmin calls.  This solves problems related
to working with email addresses containing characters such as "+"
and "&".

In the process of making the changes, some possible buffer overflows
were fixed, and we fixed a bug in the routine that extracts form values
from posted data.

ChangeLog:

Tom Collins
- Modify contrib/alias2forward.pl to work with '/Maildir' or
   '/.maildir' directory names.
- Add #define to qmailadmin.h for globally setting Maildir directory
   name (defaults to "/Maildir" but Gentoo can use ".maildir").
- Better detect .qmail-alias files that are tied to mailing lists.
   (Aliases that end in "-owner" but aren't tied to ezmlm lists
   will now display properly.)
- Add printh.c, new routines for generating HTML-safe and CGI-safe
   strings.
- Convert sprintf calls to snprintf to avoid buffer overflow.
- Changes to almost all .c and .html files to make use of printh
   routines.  QmailAdmin should now properly handle email addresses
   that contain special characters (like '+' and '&'), including
   domain admin addresses.  It now also escapes user-supplied text
   to avoid possible HTML-insertion and cross site scripting attacks.

Unfortunately no.  I've recently been looking through the vdelivermail 
source, and as far as I can tell, the only way that vpopmail supports 
extension addresses, is to just ignore the extension and accept the 
mail as if addressed to the primary user.

It would be nice if we could move to a situation where user bob could 
have a .qmail-default (to replace the .qmail) in his directory, and 
allow bob to manage additional .qmail-extension addresses in his 
directory through QmailAdmin, then match those addresses from 
vdelivermail (when selecting the .qmail file to process).

The interface for editing a user's .qmail file from QmailAdmin is quite 
limited for security reasons (you can't allow users to create their own 
.qmail files because they run as user vpopmail).

Thanks for the reply, Rick.  I was asking about qmail extensions
to one's email address.  When I had a standalone qmail system, I
could add .qmail-blah files to my home directory which would route
to jwh...@pf....  The contents of the file would determine
what happened to the message.  I had read up a lot on qmailadmin,
and thought that every user would get a postmaster-like interface to
control all possible sub-addresses.  But it looks more like to control
jwhite-blah, I have to create a jwhite-blah user from the postmaster
account, not the jwhite account.

Am I missing something?  With qmailadmin, can I give users control
over their extension addresses?

John- (this looks like it might be headed for an Apache httpd.conf type list)
Not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind, but you might try making the 
adjustments on your httpd.conf file under the <VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx> 
section. Assuming Apache 2.x installation.
Apache 1.x has a separate conf file for virtual hosts 
httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts.conf), but the basics are the same.
In Apache2, I include a ScriptAlias: /qmailadmin /var/cgi-bin/qmailadmin...for 
each virtul domain which uses qmailadmin.
So the user/admin needs only the http://hostname.com/qmailadmin (without the 
need for cgi-bin in the URL).

I have only a handful of virtual domains (qmail/vpopmail/qmailadmin/sqwebmail), 
so maintenance is minimal. If you have a large number of virtuals, YMMV.

Someone might have a more elegant way of doing what you're looking for.

Not sure precisely what you want in your question #2.
HTH,

I'm a new user of both vpopmail and qmailadmin, but not to qmail.
I've converted my site over to vpopmail and qmailadmin, but was
wondering a couple things:

1) Is there a slick way to set up a virtualhost directive to make
   qmailadmin appear at the document root of a domain?  For example,
   if my webmail host is mail.example.com, I was thinking it would
   be slick to set up qmailadmin to be accessed at the root of

I have done that for debugging, but nothing that couldn't be done by 
adding a fprintf() when needed.

Remember, if you send something to stderr it ends up in the Apache error 
log.  Hopefully other web servers do something similar.  It is very 
handy to tail -f the error log file when debugging.  Logging error 
conditions to stderr is probably a good thing even when you aren't 
debugging.

[qmailadmin-devel] Why use "fprintf(stdout," instead of "printf("

[Tom C. <to...@to...>]

Does anyone know why the QmailAdmin source uses fprintf instead of 
printf to output its page?

I'm planning to clean up the output to escape HTML entities and CGI 
strings to take care of a few bugs.  For example:

Quotes in names will break the INPUT fields.
Email addresses that contain "+" won't work (links to modify/delete end 
up with spaces in them).
It's possible to embed HTML in some fields -- we need to convert '<' 
and '>' to '&lt;' and '&gt;'.

This may also be a start on supporting punycode domain names...

Anyway, I'm wondering whether I can just replace all of those fprintf 
calls with my modified printf (which will do the escaping).  As best I 
can tell, printf (x, y) is no different then fprintf (stdout, x, y).

The only benefit I could see to using fprintf everywhere, is that it 
would be possible to dump output to a file, but I think that would be 
of limited use with an interactive CGI script.

It just takes time.  It's a feature that was requested back in  
February, but nothing has happened with it:

    
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php? 
func=detail&aid=894823&group_id=6691&atid=356691

At the moment, I don't have time available to do unpaid development.   
Most of the recent qmailadmin/vpopmail development has been targeted  
toward a vpopmail daemon that can be called from PHP pages (with the  
ultimate goal of a PHP-based qmailadmin, I believe).

Would the customer (or your company) be willing to sponsor development  
of the feature?  I was sponsored to add valias support to QmailAdmin,  
and I think Bill Shupp and Ken Jones may be available/capable as well.   
Rick Widmer has put a lot of work into a 1.3 development series -- he  
might be interested as well.

I asked this on the regular qmailadmin list in another thread where it
probably got burried.

Would it be terribly difficult to implement a search and 'alphabet'
capability on the alias/forwards page like we have on the POP3 account
page?

I've implemented netqmail+vpopmail+qmailadmin at the site of a
customer, but the e-mail for their mail domain has only a few
mailboxes that have to be POP3, the rest of them gets forwarded to the
internal mail system, GroupWise. This leaves me with a list of 3700+
forwards.

It's kind of a drag to have to page through 3700/25 pages in order to
get to a user on the last page that has to be changed or deleted.

We are implementing qmailadmin so we don't have to give shell-access
to the supportdesk personel doing user management.

[qmailadmin-devel] QmailAdmin 1.2.2 [devel] released

[Tom C. <to...@to...>]

http://qmailadmin.sf.net/

Just some minor fixes.  If you're not experiencing problems
related to the items listed in the ChangeLog, there's no need
to upgrade from 1.2.1.

Oden Eriksson
- Added "lazy snap to" javascripts to have the cursor jump to the
   most interesting input field. The idea was stolen from Mr. Sam's
   sqwebmail package. [897088]

Zhao Xin
- Add Traditional Chinese (zh-cn) translation.

Tom Collins
- Allow user to create a 'blackhole' address by entering "#" as
   the forwarding address when creating a new alias.
- Display forwards even if they're all blackholes. [941083]
- Fixed bug where unrecognized .qmail-alias entries could throw
   QmailAdmin into an infinite loop (Modify Alias). [941082]
- Display non-ezmlm aliases with "-owner" in the name.
- Display aliases with "-default" in the name.
- Use "# delete" instead of "|/bin/true delete" for blackholed
   accounts.
- Remove --enable-true-path from configure (no longer used).

[qmailadmin-devel] QmailAdmin 1.2.1 changed from devel to stable

[Tom C. <to...@to...>]

[Note, 1.2.1 was a "development" release over 4 months ago without any 
significant bug reports.  We've decided to release it as "stable" for 
users who have been waiting for valias support in QmailAdmin.]

http://qmailadmin.sf.net/

1.2.1 - 10-Feb-04

Release Notes:

This release adds valias support to QmailAdmin.  If you
compile vpopmail with --enable-valias and use a database
backend, it can store aliases in a table instead of .qmail-alias
files.  QmailAdmin can now manage those table entries.

*** Please use the dotqmail2valias program from vpopmail
5.4.1 (or later) if you need to convert aliases in the old
.qmail-alias format to valias table entries. ***

A special thanks to ACIS Pty Ltd in Australia for sponsoring
Tom Collins to add valias support to QmailAdmin.

ChangeLog:

Tom Collins
- Add note to INSTALL about requiring vpopmail 5.4.0 or later.
- Store aliases and autoresponders in valias table if vpopmail was
   compiled with --enable-valias.  Development of this feature was
   sponsored by ACIS Pty Ltd <http://www.acis.com.au/>. [774819]
* If you are upgrading from a previous version of QmailAdmin and
   used the --enable-valias option when building vpopmail, be sure
   to download vpopmail 5.4.1 or later and use the dotqmail2valias
   program to convert .qmail-alias files to valias table entries.

[qmailadmin-devel] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.
