Probably it’s a qmailadmin version related problem as you suggested 😉

I also have some problems with vqadmin, I’ll have to take the time and see why it fails to build.
By the way I’ve used partially used your tutorial, it’s good. I think your tutorial has some issues with courier imap installation (e.g. setting up pop3 and imap). I compiled them from source to bring up the services up to work in conjunction with vpopmail.

Maybe the problems I got are related to vpopmail source files. I’m running vpopmail 5.4.32. I’m also not using vpopmail with mysql as I don’t need it and I don’t like it. So maybe compile issues has something to do with these.
I’ve noticed your toturial is missing explanations on how to skip using mysql to store mail and user credentials, it will be great if you add this chapter 😉

Anyways you’ve done a great job with these tutorial Congrats from Bulgaria 😉

Glad you like it here. Varna is just 50 km away from my city 😉 It’s a nice city, though I think it’s not the best place for a beach. There are so many wonderful places nearby Varna. You should come again, if you decide to come near you can be my guest 😉
If I travel to Holland or Belgium, I’ll reach for you for a coffee 😛

will be seeing you around

Best!

Will be seeing you around

Hi Thibs,

Probably because you have installed on 32 bit architecture? It’s not because of the packages installed, I had them all installed on my Debian amd x86_64 Squeeze Debian

       –rwo, –report-warnings-only
              This option causes only warning messages to be displayed. This can be useful when rkhunter is run via cron. Other options may
              be used to force other items of information to be displayed.

       –sk, –skip-keypress
              When  the  –check command option is used, after certain sections of tests, the user will be prompted to press the return key
              in order to continue. This option disables that feature, and rkhunter will run until all the tests have completed.
