I re-read the man page and noticed the mistake. The file isn't there though. I also made a slight mistake when I wrote

>>>>Although the script hasn't complained it also has created the file.

It should read "hasn't created the file".

For some reason it runs but doesn't make the .dat - I have checked permissions on the file and directory and both should be accessible by the makeacceptsmailfor script.

I must thank you for pointing out the strings command though - that will come in useful during my data recovery off the dead drive that caused this re-install in the first place. grrrrrrr.

Thanks, Graham

I meant esmtpacceptmailfor.dat not esmtpdacceptmailfor.dat

(the second file is just my fingers wanting to daemonize everything!!!!)

strings esmtpacceptmailfor

will show you the binary database!

the file

/etc/courier/esmtpdacceptmailfor.dat

doesn't exist.

My smtpaccess directory contains a single file called default which contains the following lines (I have removed comments)

127.0.0.1       allow,RELAYCLIENT
81.5.183.106    allow,RELAYCLIENT
192.168.0       allow,RELAYCLIENT

I am not sure the second line should be there but without it I can't send mail (from the machine running Courier). I presume the first line counts as a loopback address.

I have run makestmpaccess and I will do so again now just to make sure!

is the binary database file. You can easily confirm it's contents by using

strings esmtpdacceptmailfor.dat


BTW...do you have your loopback address in your smtpaccess file and have you ran makesmtpaccess?

good luck!

I have a directory

/etc/courier/esmtpacceptmailfor.dir
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 18 16:41 esmtpacceptmailfor.dir


that contains a single file I called domains which contains the following

localhost
crazysquirrel.com
.crazysquirrel.com
xfly.co.uk
.xfly.co.uk

I have run the "makeacceptmailfor" script which ran without complaint but I think I have spotted why it isn't working. Although the script hasn't complained it also has created the file

/etc/courier/esmtpacceptmailfor.dat

which I would have expected (from the man page and from what you say).

Any ideas?

my locals file (/etc/courier/locals) contains

What does the /etc/courier/esmtpacceptmailfor.dir directory contain? Once it contains the proper domains, you have to run makeacceptmailfor to build the .dat file. I think you said you did that already in your first mail, but just want to make sure it has the right data.
