Authentication

How to authenticate into DSPAM's web interface.

mod_auth_imap

mod_auth_imap is an Apache module that allows you to authenticate with an IMAP server. Since dspam is probably running on the same machine is your IMAP server, this is a viable option as well.

Apache Password File

When messages are passed through DSPAM, the recipient address dictates what user the statistics get logged to. The vpasswd for a domain can be used to generate a list of user IDs for authenticating into the DSPAM web interface.

Backups

Mirror/backup your vpopmail domains to another Qmail server. Run it through cron and have a hot-backup server ready for action in case your main server crashes.

To mirror the entire /home/vpopmail structure, on the destination server:

rsync -avx --delete -e ssh root@<source_server>:/home/vpopmail /home/

To mirror just a domain, on the destination server::

rsync -avx --delete -e ssh root@<source_server>:/home/vpopmail/domains/<domain> /home/vpopmail/domains

Instructions for setting up public keys so rsync won't require a password.

vpopmail

Any time you reconfigure and install vpopmail you will need to rebuild and install QmailAdmin. QmailAdmin statically links libvpopmail, so you need to recompile it whenever libvpopmail changes.
