I am interested in using Courier to run a mail host for many domains.
I want to use shell scripts to set things up, as opposed to using the
web administration tool that comes with Courier. Userdb will be the
only authentication method at the present time.
The following set of scripts is close, but no cigar. My most
noticeable problem is that Courier does not accept incoming email
(user unknown), probably as a result of mis-understanding how to set
up the directory structure for userdb virtual domains.
Any problems with setting up Courier as user courier, and then running
all the virtual domains also under user courier. Or should those
functions be split between different users ?
I seem to need to set up both an account for the popmail account, and
the real address, since some real address names will not be acceptable
in an email reader. These two accounts both map into the same
Maildir. True or false ?
This package is being installed on a Debian 2.2 (Potato) machine.
apt-get --assume-yes install apache
apt-get --assume-yes install libgdbmg1-dev
apt-get --assume-yes install ispell
apt-get --assume-yes install iamerican
apt-get --assume-yes install expect5.31
adduser --quiet --disabled-password --gecos "courier" courier
cp /usr/local/bin/create_courier_mta_2 /home/courier
cp /usr/local/src/courier-0.37.0.tar.gz /home/courier
chown courier.courier /home/courier/courier-0.37.0.tar.gz
chown courier.courier /home/courier/create_courier_mta_2
Then run this script (create_courier_mta_2) as user courier, in /home/courier.
tar -zxvf courier-0.37.0.tar.gz
cd courier-0.37.0

Append

Run this script as root

/usr/lib/courier/sbin/makeacceptmailfor
#chmod 600 /home/courier/*/*/.mailfilter
#chmod 555 /home/courier/*/.courier
# remove exim init - do not want daemon
update-rc.d -f exim remove
rm /etc/cron.d/exim
rm /etc/cron.daily/exim
# set up courier init
update-rc.d courier start 85 2 3 4 5 . stop 85 0 1 6 .
chmod +x /etc/init.d/courier
That's all I've got at the current time, and it does not work.
Comments, suggestions and critiques gladly accepted.
Thanks
