Hi there,
i'm running Debian testing and I'm trying to get courier-mta to work properly with courier-authmysql. i specify courier-mta as `courierauthtest pascal` or `courierauthtest [EMAIL PROTECTED] successfully connect to the mysql db and fetches the rite info while courier-smtp keeps answering "550 User unknown" when asked for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
authdaemon is configured (authdaemonrc) to use only one auth modules : "authmysql". the # of daemons is 1.
the authmodulelist only contains "authmysql".
and still, when sending an email to my server, it doesn't even ask anything to the mysql db, that's why i don't understand why it answers "550 User unknown" instead of "service temporarly unavailable" (which i would have expected since it doesn't seem to talk to the db at all).
is it normal that "/etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon start" starts a process that remains : `/usr/lib/courier/authlib/authdaemond.mysql start` ? that looks like something that doesn't get to start properly to me...
that's quite it... on a final note, am i misconfigurating courier by putting cqi2004.etsmtl.ca as a virtual host (that uses the courierd local user account) since it's also the real localdomain ?
That's probably it. courierauthtest hits the authentication module directly.
With cqi2004.etsmtl.ca defined as a virtual domain alias, the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets rewritten as [EMAIL PROTECTED] (for some value of "localhost") and that's what hits the authentication module.
To enable [EMAIL PROTECTED], install .courier-pascal in the local account's homedir.
