I hate to subscribe to a list and have the first thing I post ask a question, but I've read docs, googled, and asked on IRC, to no avail.
First off, I'm trying to put together a Postfix-courier-mysql server for virtual domains/users. I'm running a RH9 box, with standard RH MySQL, Postfix compiled from source (to get MySQL support) and courier compiled from source. I'm basically an old hand at email and MTAs, etc., although this is my first time trying courier. First off, my understanding from the docs and the INSTALL readme was that MySQL support was native - in order to get it working, I'd just need to edit the authmysqlrc file (I haven't gotten there yet). So I used the default build configuration. I could have missed something in the docs I read, so I was wrong, please let me know. Also, if using RPMs is better, please let me know. I wanted to simply test how courier worked just authenticating off of /etc/shadow first, before I dove into getting it hooked up with MySQL. So.. First off, when I do /usr/lib/courier/libexec/authlib/authdaemond start, I get no error, but I get no processes either. There is no process in my list that looks remotely like authdaemon... When I start courier, I get the regular expected group of courier processes. I've tried the perf test, and the mail just goes nowhere - with the error that the user (that I created) was unknown. Further, I started the pop3d, and can't get external pop for an existing mail account to authenticate.(The maillog just says "LOGIN FAILED"). And besides the error messages about specific bounces, there are no other error messages in either the maillog or messages that give me any clues to the problem. At one point, when I was trying to modify the authdaemonrc file, and I tried to restart authdaemon, I'd get a AUTHFAILURE message, but again no error in any logs. BTW, postfix works fine to send and deliver mail. So what am I doing wrong? Thanks for any ideas. -- .Michelle --------------------------- Michelle Murrain [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.murrain.net ph:413-253-2874 cell:413-222-6350 AIM:pearlbear0 Y!:pearlbear9 ICQ:129250575 "Windows is not ready for the Internet" - comment on security blog ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
