okay just quick  share, i have this strange qmail bounceback error on  my qmail vpopmail server. One of our developer have this formail and use our local open relay mail server to send email and some of the user reported the email didn’t wen through. Sent mail relay from test@mail.com(alias) to user@domainmail.com

And first of all i checked the qmail log on /var/log/mail.info and got this

# cat /var/log/mail.info | grep user@domainmail.com

Okay you just got this 553 1242141906, hmm that’s not explain everything right ? even you try to google it you did not find anything. Okay i need another test and this time i will go to smtp.mail.com shell and send email from there

# telnet mail.domainmail.com 25
Trying 101.51.181….
Connected to artem.domainmail.com.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
220 rblsmtpd.local

ehlo mail.domainmail.com
250 rblsmtpd.local

it suppose to  show this

# telnet mail.domainmail.com 25
Trying 101.51.181….

Escape character is ‘^]’.
220 domainmail.com ESMTP

there you see the 553 1242141906 error once again

Okay solution

– go to your destination server mail.domainmail.com-> shell and checked the rbl setting and on qmail vpopmail it is on /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run

# vim /var/qmail/supervise/qmail-smtpd/run

-b -r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org \
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -p -R -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb -u92 -g91 -v -c250 0 smtp /usr/local/bin/rblsmtpd \
-b -r bl.spamcop.net \

-b -r sbl-xbl.spamhaus.org \

-b -r dnsbl.njabl.org \  # remove this
-r dnsbl.sorbs.net \ # remove this

/var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

#exec  \
#    tcpserver -u92 -g91 -v -p -R    \
#    -c 100 -x /home/vpopmail/etc/tcp.smtp.cdb 0 25  \
#    /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 2>&1

then save it and don’t forget to restart the qmail

# /etc/init.d/qmail restart

Restarting qmail:
* Stopping qmail-smtpd.
* Sending qmail-send SIGTERM and restarting.
* Restarting qmail-smtpd.
* Sending qmail-pop3d SIGTERM and restarting.

then go to your source mail server which issmtp.mail.com and try the telnet

# telnet mail.domainmail.com 25
Trying 101.51.181….

Escape character is ‘^]’.

This is a script to reset a list of qmail vpopmail email username. As you might know if you are using qmail vpopmail and set the qmail vpopmail user and password inside of MySQL db , qmail vpopmail set the  first 11 password  (or so) characters are random data called the “salt”. The actual password (encoded using the salt) appears after the salt . That is why you cannot just insert or update your vpopmail mysql db table and enter your new password or encrypt it with MD5. You must use vpasswd command from the qmail vpopmail and here is my script for you who want to changes of your email username.

Just create a php files and insert the script below:

#vi passwdrst.php

<?

$handle = fopen(“pwdrst.txt”, “r”);

$counter=0;

while (!feof($handle)) {

$userinfo = fscanf($handle, “%[a-zA-Z0-9._ ],%[a-zA-Z0-9. ]” );

if ($userinfo) {

list ($email, $password) = $userinfo;

$counter++;

$email=trim(strtolower($email));

$password=trim($password);

echo “username : $email@test.org password : $password  \n”;

exec(“/home/vpopmail/bin/vpasswd $email@test.org $password “);

}

$userinfo=NULL;

}

fclose($handle);

echo “Changing $counter users password”;

?>

changes the test.org to your email domain address.

Then paste your list of username and the new password you want to changes on pwdrst.txt ( use this format : username, newpassword)

# vi pwdrst.txt

test,  testi3
test2, test456
test3, test6757

Then run your  resetpwd.php script

# php resetpwd.php

username : test@test.org password : testi3
username : test2@test.org password : test456
username : test3@test.org password : test6757

Changing 3 users password

That’s it 🙂 you can changes all of the user password
