Getmail mail retriever with support for POP3, IMAP4 and SDPS. Getmail is intended as a simple replacement for fetchmail. It retrieves mail (either all messages, or only unread messages) from one or more POP3/IMAP4/SDPS servers for one or more email accounts, and reliably delivers into a qmail-style Maildir, mbox file or to a command (pipe delivery) like maildrop or procmail, specified on a per.

Vpopmail is one of the major components of this installation. Vpopmail allows us to do virtual domain mail hosting. It's got a lot of built in tools and features that make it a dream to work with. Even if you don't want to host mail for multiple domains, I would still recommend installing Vpopmail. It just makes the whole mail game easier. Plus, this installation centers around it, so if you don't install it you're going to have a headache.
Create the needed Database.
The used MySQL_root_password should be the password chosen on pre-step 3. It's should not be the same as the password for vpopmailuser (VPOPMAIL_PASSWORD).
It's not a typo, the MySQL_root_password should really be just aside the -p
CREATE DATABASE vpopmail;
GRANT select,insert,update,delete,create,drop ON vpopmail.* TO vpopmailuser@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'VPOPMAIL_PASSWORD';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
quit;
Test your the account you have just created
You should have such response

Prepare the installation
chown -R vpopmail:vchkpw /home/vpopmail
chmod 770 /home/vpopmail
cd /home/vpopmail/etc
Do not forget to put your OWN chosen MySQL password for vpopmailuser (refered as VPOPMAIL_PASSWORD in this guide)
chown vpopmail:vchkpw ~vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
chmod 640 ~vpopmail/etc/vpopmail.mysql
Install Vpopmail
cd /downloads/tar zxvf vpopmail-5.4.33.tar.gz
cd /downloads/vpopmail-5.4.33
./configure
make && make install-strip
You can find HERE all compilation options.
Note that vpopmail is not configured here with spamassassin option. This is is due to the fact spamassassin will be used during the SMTP conversation thanks to Simscan.Nevertheless, if you want spamassasisn to be used during local delivery to Maildir (=to mailbox), just add the configuration option --enable-spamassassin
This file modification is needed to avoid a segmentation fault in some case

Hi,
when I execute 'make && make install strip'
I get a messag:

if you plan to use the vpopmail usage daemon run the following commands:
cd vusaged && ./configure && make
Then follow the INSTALL file to install.

Thibs - 31/05/2013 18:17Nicolás: It's possible to set a quota via vqadmin
Hi,
I want to set a domain quota, but searching on web it seems that vpopmail doesn't support this natively, in fact, the way to do this is with linux quota's.
Do you know another method for this? is ok that vpopmail doesn't support this?
Regards,
Keven - 04/12/2012 17:21@Thibs yes, I have tested it. if you don't config as
--enable-many-domains = y
vpopmail create table by your domains, not vpopmail as mysql table.
Check the configue file of vpopmail, you can see
case $MANY_DOMAINS in 1*|y*|Y*)
It seem that it only accept '1|y|Y' as pamameters for enable multi domains.
and vpopmail will check if you config with pamameter 'enable-many-domains'.
See this code:
if test '${enable_many_domains+set}' = set; then :
enableval=$enable_many_domains; MANY_DOMAINS=$enableval
if find you configure with enable_many_domains, vpopmail will pass it's value to MANY_DOMAINS.
but if you config vpopmail with 'enable-many-domains', and value 'y' missed, then there is nothing passed to MANY_DOMAINS.
MANY_DOMAINS = 0
So, multi domain function is disable.
if you do not configue with this pamameter, MANY_DOMAINS = y by default.
Sudo Apt Get Install Build Essential
the code here:
if test '${enable_many_domains+set}' = set; then :
enableval=$enable_many_domains; MANY_DOMAINS=$enableval
else
MANY_DOMAINS=y
fi
Thibs - 29/11/2012 09:19@Keven Are you sure ? I have made a script especially to convert MySQL database designed to serve vpopmail compiled with 'enable-many-domains' into a databases designed to server vpopmail compiled with 'disable-many-domain'
Moreover, I remember a talk on vopmail mailing list about the difference between with enable/disable-many-domains ... and nobody (including the developer) told me about that.
Finally, I can tell you that I have more than 250 domains running on a server with such config
Keven - 26/11/2012 06:10Hello Thibs,
there is an error in your setting.
you should configure with enable-many-domains='y', or you can not active mult domain with mysql. check your mysql tables.
if you already configure with ' enable-many-domains', you should re-install with ' enable-many-domains=y',and re- install vqadmin and qmailadmin.
if not, you will get error with authentification of courier and Roundcubemail.
best regards.
Hip0 - 28/09/2012 14:43Hi Thibs,
I have writen article explaining how to compile vpopmail with support for storing mails and userdata on disk. This was option in original qmailrocks installation. Unfortunately in yours I don't see it link to explanations how I did it is here - http://pc-freak.net/blog/qmail-vpopmail-vchkpw-courierauthlib-courierimap-auth-work-mysql-debian-linux-qmailrocks-thibs-install/
Hope the article will be useful to people interested in doing courier-imap+vpopmail without mysql support.
Best
Georgi
Thibs - 03/08/2012 09:24@Syngin : First of all thanks for your tests ! FYI this package installation was described package-install.php
Syngin - 30/07/2012 18:12Ran into an issue on Wheezy during the config portion:
The following fixed it though.
apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
Tom delombarde - 11/04/2012 16:51Running Debian Squeeze kfreebsd, add:
--build='i386-pc-linux'
to the configure command above ...
Thibs - 30/01/2012 20:58@Goofy : I'm currently really busy and I don't have time to update the site ... but I confirm that David's tips is working. Just check his another comment on configure-courier.php
Goofy - 30/01/2012 12:36I'm interested to know how to apply the --disable-clear-password.
I waited with the installation of qmail because of this cullprit.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thibs - 08/12/2011 22:01@David : yes and it worked. I still have to test it on another install but 'm quite sure you were right ! Thanks for the tip (I'll update the site soon)
David - 30/11/2011 12:26Hey Thibs,
Have you checked out if my disabling of cleartext passwords works properly in your setup yet?
cheers
Thibs - 13/11/2011 21:42@Jon : My known solution is to use qmail server with authentification through port 465. It works for roaming and non-roaming users!
Hello David,
Thank you for your contribution. I'll test it as soon as possible (unfortunately probably not this week) and adapt the guide if your solution is confirmed !
Apt Get Install Qmail Email
Jon - 13/11/2011 20:16How do you enable roaming users to send mail now?
This isn't a dumb question, it is a major problem since many people use smart devices and login remotely. Our company has a policy of sendng all mail through our server.
David - 13/11/2011 13:08configure-courier >> Which is what has been failing on me for the last 12 hours.
Well, now that solves that.
But honestly, there must be a way around this.
What exactly is the issue there? Why wouldnt it be able to work without it?
I see guides for gentoo [albeit using postfix] that solve this issue by using cyrus-sasl [a package], describing it as 'We're going to slave SASL off Courier-authlib instead of having it talk directly to the database. This allows us to use encrypted passwords and seems to work better as well. '
Let me know your thoughs about this.
Hello David,
The effect of this option is to enable a 'pw_clear_passwd' field in database structure.
This can indeed been considered as an insecure way of doing .... but I unfortunately absolutely need it in configure-courier.php
Thank you anyway for pointing this !
Apt-get Install Mac
David - 13/11/2011 00:11In reference to the ./configure options for vpopmail:
--enable-clear-passwd
I personally think it's irresponsible nowadays to leave cleartext passwords lying around systems.
Qmail has a name for its security. Saving cleartext passwords is not necessareley unsecure, but is enormous potential fir a HUGE security leak under many aspects.
This should be changed to:
Apt Get Install Qmail App
--disable-clear-passwd
