My setup (qmail, vpopmail and courier-imap) was just alright until I decided to update my version of courier-imap to 4.0.1 today (haven't changed my config at all ever since!). I have emerged courier-imap and have restarted all the necessary services but when I now try to send an email my server says "Domain isn't in my list of allowed rcpthosts" which means in qmail-speak that I am not allowed to relay. The directory that should hold the database of allowed IP addresses /var/spool/relay-ctrl/allow is empty as well and there is no file being created there. My /etc/courier/authlib/authdaemonrc file looks as follows (digest): authmodulelist="authvchkpw" authmodulelistorig="authvchkpw" My config files /etc/courier-imap/{imapd,imapd-ssl,pop3d,pop3d-ssl) all include these lines: MAILDIR=.maildir MAILDIRPATH=.maildir PRERUN="envdir /etc/relay-ctrl relay-ctrl-chdir" LOGINRUN="relay-ctrl-allow" Finally my /var/qmail/control/conf-smtpd looks like this: # Configuration file for qmail-smtpd # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/mail-mta/qmail/files/1.03-r13/conf-smtpd,v 1.2 2004/07/18 03:29:51 dragonheart Exp $ # Stuff to run before tcpserver #QMAIL_TCPSERVER_PRE="" # Stuff to run qmail-smtpd #QMAIL_SMTP_PRE="" # Stuff to after qmail-smtpd #QMAIL_SMTP_POST="" # this turns off the IDENT grab attempt on connecting TCPSERVER_OPTS="${TCPSERVER_OPTS} -R" # You might want to use rblsmtpd with this, but you need to fill in a RBL server here first # see http://cr.yp.to/ucspi-tcp/rblsmtpd.html for more details QMAIL_SMTP_PRE="${QMAIL_SMTP_PRE} rblsmtpd -rsbl-xbl.spamhaus.org -rrelays.ordb.org -rsbl.spamhaus.org -rbl.spamcop.net -rdnsbl.njabl.org" # If you are interested in providing POP or IMAP before SMTP type relaying, # emerge relay-ctrl, then uncomment the next 2 lines QMAIL_TCPSERVER_PRE="${QMAIL_TCPSERVER_PRE} envdir /etc/relay-ctrl relay-ctrl-chdir" QMAIL_SMTP_PRE="${QMAIL_SMTP_PRE} relay-ctrl-check" # In /etc/courier-imap/authdaemonrc add the next line to the end: #authmodulelist="${authmodulelist} relay-ctrl-allow" # Then in /etc/courier-imap/{imapd,imapd-ssl,pop3d,pop3d-ssl} # Add this at the end #PRERUN="${PRERUN} envdir /etc/relay-ctrl relay-ctrl-chdir" # This next block is for SMTP-AUTH # This provides the LOGIN, PLAIN and CRAM-MD5 types # the 'cmd5checkpw' used in $QMAIL_SMTP_AUTHCHECKPASSWORD supports CRAM-MD5 # and reads it's data from /etc/poppasswd # see the manpage for cmd5checkpw for details on the passwords # uncomment the next four lines to enable SMTP-AUTH #QMAIL_SMTP_AUTHHOST=$(<${QMAIL_CONTROLDIR}/me) #[ -z "${QMAIL_SMTP_POST}" ] && QMAIL_SMTP_POST=/bin/true #QMAIL_SMTP_CHECKPASSWORD="/bin/cmd5checkpw" #QMAIL_SMTP_POST="${QMAIL_SMTP_AUTHHOST} ${QMAIL_SMTP_CHECKPASSWORD} ${QMAIL_SMTP_POST}" Does anyone know this problem? How can I solve this? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge courier-imap 4.0.1 with qmail and vpopmail 2. Configure SMTP-after-POP with relay-ctrl 3.

Hi, my permissions are as follows: # cd /var/spool/ # ls -la total 36 drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jul 12 00:39 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Apr 10 15:08 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jul 11 08:58 .keep drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Jan 15 2005 calendar drwxr-x--- 4 root cron 4096 Jan 15 2005 cron drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 4096 Jan 15 2005 mail drwxr-xr-x 10 qscand qscand 4096 Jul 19 16:56 qmailscan drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Feb 12 13:06 relay-ctrl drwxrwxrwt 2 root root 4096 Feb 28 17:26 samba
Ok, it's definitely relay-ctrl again because I created a file as root (file name = my IP address) and now I am able to relay without any problems: # touch 84.161.X.Y # pwd /var/spool/relay-ctrl/allow So for some bizarre reason courier-imap is ignoring relay-ctrl.
I seem to recall something about the permissions, I am unable to find bug reference to this at the moment. As soon as I do locate which bug in which we were discussing permissions I will post ya a link back to it.
Well the solution is easy: net-mail/courier-imap-4.0.1-r1 fixes the problem (whatever it was) - DON'T USE courier-imap-4.0.1 it's broken (should be masked)!
Please see bug 98745
Current stable is 4.0.4, closing a stale bug.
