updated IPv6 patches for perdition and vanessa socket lib

by Antonio Querubin

The original IPv6 patches I submitted earlier didn't build on Linux systems. Attached are updated IPv6 patches which have been tested successfully in inetd mode on CentOS 5. However, in daemon mode under CentOS, sometimes the spawned process will segfault. I'm still trying to determine whether this is due to a problem with the patch itself or the way I've built the RPM. Both daemon mode and inetd mode under FreeBSD seems to work reliably though so I suspect this problem is something peculiar to Linux which I've overlooked. In any case, I'm putting these updated patches out in the hope of getting additional data back from anyone running perdition in daemon mode on Linux systems. Antonio Querubin whois: AQ7-ARIN

by Winnie

Dear all, hi..i want to setup perdition server before 2 sendmail with openwebmail servers. But there are 200 users divided into 2 different sendmail servers A & B.. ...so..i made 2 text files /etc/sendmailA.txt and /etc/sendmailB.txt which are marked down which users are mapped to certain servers... but...in your "popmap.re" example, there are only divided character starting from A to F will map to server A and others will map to server B...but..I can't divide the user in this way...I must map those user from /etc/sendmailA.txt & /etc/sendmailB.txt ...then how to check user login name from both "/etc/sendmailA.txt & sendmailB.txt" in popmap.re .... thx for your attention and patience... regards, winnie

string parsing fun with pop_capability and imap_capability

by bill-perdition＠carpenter.ORG

In the Debian/Ubuntu setup for perdition, there is /etc/perdition/perdition.conf and there is also /etc/default/perdition which gets dotted into /etc/init.d/perdition. I'm running all of pop3, pop3s, imap4, and imap4s modes. Most of the config info is the same, so I did that in perdition.conf. That leaves me with pretty short command line options to set separately in /etc/default/perdition. So far, so good. I'm trying to set imap_capability for imap4/imap4s and pop_capability for pop3/pop3s. By trial and error, I have figured out that those two names are just synonyms in perdition.conf, so I can't set them both there. Fine, I'll just set them differently in /etc/default/perdition. Alas, the embedded spaces are driving me a little crazy. Has anyone worked out the combination of quote marks, backslashes, and other shell magic to get things interpreted correctly by the time it gets interpreted by the init script? (I know I can just use different config files for the different protocols, which is what I will do if I don't find some other solution. I'd just rather avoid the redundancy if there is some other answer.)

Script Maps

by Matt Richards

Hello, Is there a map module for perdition that gets the necessary information it needs by using a script ? I was thinking something like the script runs in a constant while loop reading each line from STDIN and returns the remote server information to STDOUT. This is basically how authentication programs are used with the squid web proxy. I'm asking this because I am looking into a setup that runs multiple dovecot servers which all point back to the same location by use of networked file systems. Everything is working fine apart from a small problem that is related to users logging into two different servers at the same time. So although I need to make sure users are always connected to the same server this doesn't have to always be the same server but just the same server within a set amount of time from when the users logs in and I could quite easily set this up if perdition supported scripts as its backend. I'm sure this will open up other possibilities such as using database backends that perdition doesn't have a module for. Cheers, Matt.

We have a proxy in front of our email servers the mailboxes for each domain are spread across the email servers. Presently a users email client sends their complete email address as their username. Thanks In Advance, Jimmy
