Hello! I'm working on setting up a test mail server using Courier. I'm familiar with Sendmail, so I'm familiar with mail servers in general, just not Courier.
I've followed the install directions found on the Courier web site (http://www.courier-mta.org/install.html) and everything has gone fine until I started working through the post-install tests. In particular, running 'sh perftest1 1000 "user"' sent 1000 messages to the "test" user account, but instead of putting the messages in $HOME/test/new, as the instructions indicated it should, the messages all went to $HOME/bounce/new. Here are the steps I've taken to try tracing the problem (which I've not been successful at identifying): 1. Checked to make sure the courierd and authdaemond processes are running. Here's the output of "ps -ef | grep courier": root 1146 1 0 17:44 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/courier/libexec/courier/courierd courier 1147 1146 0 17:44 ? 00:00:13 /usr/local/courier/libexec/courier/courierd uucp 1148 1147 0 17:44 ? 00:00:00 ./courieruucp root 1149 1147 0 17:44 ? 00:00:00 ./courierlocal root 1150 1147 0 17:44 ? 00:00:00 ./courierfax courier 1151 1147 0 17:44 ? 00:00:00 ./courieresmtp courier 1152 1147 0 17:44 ? 00:00:00 ./courierdsn root 6737 13764 0 18:34 pts/1 00:00:00 grep courier* Here's the output of "ps -ef | grep "auth*" root 1134 1 0 17:43 ? 00:00:00 ./authdaemond.mysql start root 1135 1134 0 17:43 ? 00:00:00 ./authdaemond.mysql start root 1136 1134 0 17:43 ? 00:00:00 ./authdaemond.mysql start root 1137 1134 0 17:43 ? 00:00:00 ./authdaemond.mysql start root 1138 1134 0 17:43 ? 00:00:01 ./authdaemond.mysql start root 1139 1134 0 17:43 ? 00:00:01 ./authdaemond.mysql start root 6739 13764 0 18:35 pts/1 00:00:00 grep auth* 2. I thought it was odd that authdaemond.mysql was running, since I want to authenticate using shadow passwords. I then checked the authdaemonrc file and changed authmodulelist from authmodulelist="authcustom authcram authuserdb authmysql authshadow authpwd" to authmodulelist="authshadow authpwd" After this change, I restarted the courierd and authdaemond processes, then check /var/log/messages and found the following: Nov 1 18:40:01 bula authdaemond.mysql: authdaemon: modules="authshadow authpwd", daemons=5 So it looks like courier should be authenticating using shadow passwords. Prior to making this change, I was getting "450 service unavailable" error messages when running the perftest command. After the change, I've been able to get the perftest command to run, it's just delivering the messages to the bounce/new folder instead of the test/new folder like it should. 3. I've checked the contents of the .courier and .courier-test.default files. The .courier file has "./bounces" and .courier-test.default has "./test" . Is there some step that I've missed? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Tim Boring ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
