Hi list,

It's been a bit of a mission migrating our prevous exim / tpop3d server over
to courier, but I think we are almost there.  Most of the problems have been
my fault, takes a while to get used to a new mail system when you have been
using the last one for 5 years or so.

First problem I ran in to, was the Debian binaries in sid had a broken
authdaemon, am now using the binaries in woody, and they are working
perfectlly.

Local users, that is users in /etc/shadow that are getting authenticated via
pam are working perfectly which is a great start.

I am putting our virtual users in MySQL and authenticating them via the
authmysql module, I figured it would be easier to manage in MySQL than
userdb files :).

users are authenticating and then I am getting permission errors on the
Maildir.


Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK Hello there.
user [EMAIL PROTECTED]
+OK Password required.
pass xxxxxx
-ERR Maildir: Permission denied
Connection closed by foreign host.

I have a group called vmail and a user called vmail,

vmail:x:1006:1006::/home/vmail:/bin/false

I created the dir /home/vmail/fluxxproductions/blah

then did a

maildirmake /home/vmail/fluxxproductions.com/blah/Maildir

and

chown -R vmail.vmail /home/vmail/fluxxproductions.com/blah


so everything is owned by the right user.

Then in MySQL I set the UID and GID fields to 1006 which is the uid and gid
of the vmail user.

Can anyone see anything wrong with what I have outlined above?


Second question.

I know courier comes with it's own mailing list module, but is it possible
to use mailman with courier?

The only reason I ask this, is because many list administrators like the web
interface that mailman offers.


If this is possible can I use the standard sendmail style aliases

test-request: "|/usr/lib/mailman/bin/wrapper command test"

I read the man page for makealiases, but didn't notice much about commands
in aliases.

Once again, help is hugely appreciated.

Thanks

>From Mitchell
