I've just bought an RAQ4. We had a problem with Joydesk so the technician
removed it. I know that would have no effect on the email aliases but for
some reason aliases simply wont work. If you try to send email to them you
get the standard "(reason: addressee unknown)" and "user unknown"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

That is correct.

Look, I've never done this but I've been hanging out on
dozens of ISP mailing lists for years. I believe there's a GNU/GPL
(free) POPer out there that does this natively and when combined
with one of the sendmail replacements and linked to MySQL you end up
with a rocking system that will do everything you want. William L.
Walsh and others posted some hints on how to go about this during
what I recall as a sendmail discussion a few months back on the
isp-webhosting list. You can find the archives at:
http://www.isp-lists.com
If your budget can handle it you might consider hiring a
consultant. No, I haven't got time our hosting business keeps me
jumping. I'm now having to pay people to system admin for me. But,
as an old 'coder', I don't see where setting something like this up
is much of a problem considering the gizmos available today. Most of
what I'm guessing would be used though would probably break the
Cobalt GUI. You might want to chat with the William I mentioned
above. Jeremy Reed can be found on the isp-tech list. I know him to
be a consultant and I'm pretty sure I've seen some posts of his in
which he described how to set this up with off the shelf free
software.
Hope this helps.
Peace be with you,

Subject: [cobalt-users] Qube 3 and VPN
Reply-To: cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I've seen a few messages on here regarding problems with PPTP when using
the Qube 3. Since I've already solved that problem for myself, I
thought I'd share my findings with the list.
PPTP Masquerading
------------------------------
If you are using your Qube to do IP masquerading and you want to use a
client with a masquerading IP address to connect to a VPN server on the
Internet, you will need to install support for PPTP masquerading. This
requires installing a new kernel, but that's not as scary as it sounds.
If you're familiar with patching, compiling and installing a kernel, you
can download the patch from
http://www.impsec.org/linux/masquerade/ip_masq_vpn-2.2.15.patch.gz. If
you are using kernel version 2.2.16-C7, you will already have the Cobalt
kernel source in /usr/src/linux. If you upgraded your kernel, you can
download the source rpm from ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/rpms/. Apply the
patch, do a "make config" and accept all the defaults except when it
asks you about CONFIG_IP_MASQUERADE_PPTP. In that case, choose 'm' to
compile the option as a loadable module. The do "make dep", "make
modules", "make cobalt". Copy the appropriate kernel image from /boot
to the root (/) and reboot. Now issuing the command "modprobe
ip_masq_pptp" should install the module and allow you to masquerade a
PPTP connection.
If the above sounds really scary, don't worry: I've already done this
for you and put it in a nice package. Just log into the Qube's
administration UI, go to the BlueLinQ tab, choose New Software and
Install Manually, then enter this URL in the URL field:
ftp://ftp.mindspring.com/users/richshaffer/vpnmasq-2.2.16C24_III.pkg.
I've used this in a couple of places with no trouble, but I must warn
you that this is a "use at your own risk" type of deal.
Using the Qube as a PPTP Client
-------------------------------------------------
In some cases, like if you have a remote office or something, it may be
desirable to have the Qube run the PPTP client. The advantage is that
your desktop or laptop computer no longer has to worry about setting up
and configuring the remote VPN connection. The possible disadvantage is
that now everyone that has network access to the Qube 3 also has access
to the remote network.
Installing this feature doesn't require installing a new kernel, but it
does require having a configured kernel source tree. If you have kernel
version 2.2.16-C7, all you need to do is "cd /usr/src/linux" followed by
"make dep". If you have upgraded your kernel to something else, you
should download the source rpm from ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/rpms. Look
for the source version that matches your currently running kernel. (You
can find your kernel version by using the command "uname -r".) Download
that version to your Qube 3, then do an "rpm -i *rpm_filename_here*" to
install the rpm. Then do "cd /usr/src" and issue the command "tar xzvf
redhat/SOURCES/cobalt-linux-*.tar.gz" to unpack the kernel sources.
Next, cd to the linux-2.2 directory and copy the config-raq5-pacifica
file to .config. Now do "make dep".
Once you have the kernel thing done, grab a copy of the file
ftp://ftp.mindspring.com/users/richshaffer/pptp-install.tar.gz. Unpack
this file using "tar xzvf pptp-install.tar.gz" and you should find a
file called pptp-install.howto, which contains pretty specific
instructions for installing the ppp daemon and modules, and installing
the pptp client. The new pppd seems to work fine with Cobalt's
implementations of pppoe and dialup ppp.
Hope this info is helpful to someone. ;-)

Subject: [cobalt-users] RaQ3. 32 limit reached? FTP permission denied
Reply-To: cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi guys,
I have read a lot about this problem but haven't yet seen an answer for the
RaQ3 (the solution posted recently was for the RaQ2).
I recently went over 32 virtual domains, and it seems now most of my
accounts will not allow me to ftp in and upload files, whether I use the RaQ
admin username and password, or whichever user is set to be the site admin
(site1admin, site2admin e.g).
Here's what happened :
I had 30 domains, and deleted 3, leaving me with 27. Then I added 5 new
ones, giving me exactly 32.
I am wondering if it's the 32 problem, or if deleting virtual domains messed
my site numbering up? I used the GUI to remove the sites of course.
Any ideas?

SSH/Telnet into your box.
su
cd /home/spool/mail
ls -l
-- look for an account that is 0 bytes (i.e. someuser)
cat someuser > admin
That'll take care of it.

I think it is only people who replied to an email he sent. I have received
three and they are all emails I sent to the list.

Subject: [cobalt-users] mysqlconnect() not supported in php 4.0.6 ?????
Reply-To: cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hello,
I have upgraded to the new supplied php version from
http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/packages/raq/4/ Everything seemed working fine
however. One of my clients is using a mysql database for his guestbook.
Since I upgraded to php4.0.6 he is getting the following error when trying
to open his
guestbook:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_connect() in
/home/sites/site14/web/nl/guestbook_show.php on line 16
& Poll
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysql_pconnect() in
/home/sites/site14/web/poll/include/mysql.inc.php on line 8
Does this error ring a bell to some experienced mysql user(s). Is it
possible that the mysql_connect()/ mysql_pconnect() function is no longer
supported in php4.0.6
Is there a work around for it ? I have several other customers using mysql
but they haven't complaint (yet) about this issue.
Can somebody shine some light on this matter for me ? In this case we used a
raq4 server. Perhaps it is good to know that phpmyadmin is still running,
and as far as I know this app also uses the mysql_connect().
Suggestions are more than welcome. :)

Let's take your webmail software out of the equation. A RaQ should be able
to receive mail for over 2000 mail users through Sendmail. When you have
that many users requiring email services only, you don't create system
accounts for them. You use a modified version of Sendmail which use a DB
to lookup usernames. There are hacks for Sendmail which can use PostgreSQL
or MySQL.
Now that the mail is in a mailbox on the server, your users can retrieve
their mail through POP3 or IMAP. If you have a webmail software, it will
surely be using IMAP. I don't see IMAP handling such a load on a RAQ.
Getting back to your webmail software, it is difficult to suggest any
solution without knowning how the apps works. Brent suggested that you
identify the (webmail) apps that will suit your needs first, then choose
the hardware. There are a lot of free solutions out there. Do a web
search, test a few apps, then make a choice.

Maybe, but yuck. It's ugly, and just way too much work. Better idea:
SSH/Telnet into your box. (as the admin user, of course)
mail
d1-3500 (or however many mail tells you you have)
q
(Note that using mail instead of pine or elm avoids all the
directory/file
creation nonsense, and is frankly MUCH faster if you don't routinely read
your mail at the command line.)

DNS changes do not propagate like that. Do a nslookup to verify the
records.

Isn't this limited to acting on the To: header? What if the recipient's
address is specified in a Cc: header, or not at all, via BCC? Your
introduction to Procmail is appreciated, but I feel this problem is more
reliably handled with the 'aliases' file, as Dom suggested.
