Hi Sam, GREAT NEWS... my mailserver is now back up and running...
After lots of random fiddling, it appears that I managed to fix something. However, the other part of the problem was my mistake... In my mysql database, I had a 'realname' field... and for accounts with nothing set, it was set to 'NULL'.... and it appears that authmysql doesn't like too much ;) All makes sense now that I think about it... the auth daemon was trying to lookup entries in the database, it could find them, but it seen something it didn't like (eg, NULL), so it reported a temporary error, and the error message 'invalid address'... which it was... (kind of). The only thing is that I dont recall seeing this NULL entry thing in any of the docs? I notice that the example table structure explicitly sets "default '' not null". Maybe worthwhile sticking it in the FAQ or something? Anyway... *huge* thanks for helping me getting this back up and running. Also, hopefully its been fixed soon enough to avoid any loss of mail :) Bryan. +----- -++- -----+ | Bryan Ross <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | I've got a plan so sharp... | | you could pick your teeth with it. | +----------------------------------------------------------+ | http://www.return0.net/bryan/ | +----- -++- -----+ _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
