Hi All
I need a some help configuring the MAILDIR environmental variable, the
situation is this:
I've configed courier-imap to use pam authentication over pop3 and imap,
I've tested authentication over both of these and they both work, my MTA is
exim which is configured to use maildir's and which has created individual
maildir's in /var/spool/mail for users.
The problem I have is that when connecting to the mail server over pop or
imap the client gets the error message
ERR: Maildir: No such file or directory
I have setup the following in /etc/profile to set a path to MAILDIR for
bash (my OS is redhat 7.3) but it does not seem to work:
Note: I have added the line:
MAILDIR="/var/spool/mail/$USER"
and added MAILDIR to export.
-------------------------------------------------start of
profile---------------------------------------------------
# /etc/profile
# System wide environment and startup programs, for login setup
# Functions and aliases go in /etc/bashrc
pathmunge () {
if ! echo $PATH | /bin/egrep -q "(^|:)$1($|:)" ; then
if [ "$2" = "after" ] ; then
PATH=$PATH:$1
else
PATH=$1:$PATH
fi
fi
}
# Path manipulation
if [ `id -u` = 0 ]; then
pathmunge /sbin
pathmunge /usr/sbin
pathmunge /usr/local/sbin
pathmunge /usr/exim
pathmunge /usr/exim/bin
pathmunge /var/spool/mail
fi
pathmunge /usr/X11R6/bin after
unset pathmunge
# No core files by default
ulimit -S -c 0 > /dev/null 2>&1
USER="`id -un`"
LOGNAME=$USER
MAILDIR="/var/spool/mail/$USER"
HOSTNAME=`/bin/hostname`
HISTSIZE=1000
if [ -z "$INPUTRC" -a ! -f "$HOME/.inputrc" ]; then
INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
fi
export PATH USER LOGNAME HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC MAILDIR
for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
if [ -r "$i" ]; then
. $i
fi
done
unset i
-----------------------------------------------end of
profile------------------------------------------
reading the 'man imapd' pages I notice that it suggests the MAILDIR can be
specified on the command line when launching imapd although details of
syntax are not given, if anyone knows how to do this then that would
provide an alternative until I can get the environmental variable to work.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
Simon
