Dear All,
I am a long time (and very satisfied) user of
Courier, in combination with fetchmail to retrieve mail from external mailboxes
and LDAP to control users and access.
Few weeks ago I upgraded my server from a PII-450
to a P4-3.0GHz. From this moment on, fetchmail was not able to deliver all
messages to Courier. Only the first and third pop-accounts were working (out of
5 accounts). A strange behavior, that could not be related to Courier or
fetchmail. Fetchmail complained that it could not deliver to local users
(LDAP).
Fetchmail was setup to use smtp-delivery locally
for transporting mail. I found out that using the MDA-option of fetchmail (using
the sendmail-binary of Courier) solved the problem.
My question: will the sendmail-binary of Courier
return the right error-codes if it cannot deliver mail due to some external
cause (like a lack of diskspace). I would favor to switch back to smtp-delivery,
so if anyone has a solution for this, I would be grateful.
If this is a fetchmail-related problem that I do
not know of, please excuse me for posting on this list !
Greetings, Alfred.
old fetchmail setup:
..
..
smtphost localhost
smtpaddress company.local
new fetchmail setup:
..
..
smtphost localhost
smtpaddress company.local
wants mda "/usr/sbin/sendmail %T" {just a link to
the Courier sendmail binary}
