===[[Vpopmail - roaming users configuration]]===

If you want to use the vpopmail roaming users configuration option
here area few steps to follow :

1. rpm -Uvh vpopmail-toaster*.src.rpm
go to (if you didnt set your own .rpmmacros config) /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
and edit the file vpopmail-toaster.spec
look for the configure options ..
(./configure --prefix ....) line and change --disable-roaming-users
into --enable-roaming-users ..
If you want to add/remove other options do it now..

2. rpmbuild -bb --with [your_distro] vpopmail-toaster.spec
just wait after issuing that command
cd ../RPMS/i386
STOP qmail : /etc/init.d/qmail stop or qmailctl stop
rpm -Uvh --replacefiles --replacepkgs vpopmail-toaster*.rpm
IF you keep RPMS make sure you point to the one you just rebuilt not
and old one ...
START qmail : /etc/init.d/qmail start or qmailctl start

3. The roaming system authorize a user who authentificated (pop3 before smtp)
the right to relay, it adds your ip to the cdb file
/etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp.cdb .. This file must be owned by vpopmail.vchkpw
do this now :
chown vpopmail.vchkpw /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp.cdb

Then edit /etc/init.d/qmail
look for the section cdb) :
cdb)
tcprules /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp.cdb /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp.tmp < /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp
chmod 644 /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp*
add here -> '''chown vpopmail.vchkpw /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp.cdb''' <-
echo "Reloaded /etc/tcprules.d/tcp.smtp"

The purpose of this, whenever you reload your cdb files
it will give you the proper rights and ownership on the file

4. By default it is 3 hours (180mins) authorization after pop authentification
for roaming users
I d suggest to set a crontab to check the ips allowed to relay
I chose every 30mins
0,30 * * * * /home/vpopmail/bin/clearopensmtp

NB: you could change the default time by adding this configure option :
--enable-relay-clear-minutes=# to the spec file

Also note that roaming access is only available to users checking mail via POP3. If you have users who connect via POP3-SSL, IMAP, or IMAP-SSL they are ''not'' added to the list of authenticated users. See this thread for more info: http://www.mail-archive.com/vchkpw@inter7.com/msg24375.html
