I have following problem with the combination Courier-IMAP with Xmail: *** Setup: - I am running Xmail 1.2 (www.xmailserver.org) on a Debian Sarge machine in a chroot environment (user xmail). -> Xmail acts as the mail server and also POP server.
- Courier-IMAP comes from the normal Debian installation, including the courier-authdaemon/courier-authmysql. -> Courier should provide the IMAP access of the Maildir data. *** Problem: The first time I access a mail account using IMAP (btw. the XMail pop works fine), it creates in the Maildir two files and a directory: courierimapkeywords, imapsubscribed, imapuiddb As the Courier stuff is running as root (from the debian default installation), these files/directories are created with root privileges: drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Sep 24 11:14 courierimapkeywords -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 Sep 24 11:14 courierimapsubscribed -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15 Sep 24 11:14 courierimapuiddb >From this time point on, Xmail can no more deliver any mails to the Maildir...I always get following error: vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz does not like recipient. Remote host said: 552 Requested mail action aborted: exceeded storage allocation - (if I change the ownership of the files to xmail, delivery works then again). -> So I am only able to access my mail account once, the first time, by IMAP... If I "manually access the SMTP server it looks as follows: telnet to xxx.com: 220 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [XMail 1.20 ESMTP Server] service ready; Fri, 24 Sep 2004 20:19:35 -0000 HELO bbb.com 250 xxx.com MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 250 OK RCPT TO:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 552 Requested mail action aborted: exceeded storage allocation - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> QUIT I also tried to run Courier as user Xmail by adding "-user=xmail -group=xmail" to TCPDOPTS in /etc/courier/imapd. I would prefer running Courier also as Xmail user, what would solve the ownership problem with the files, however the authentication with courier-authdaemon does not work then... *** Question: In the Xmail forum people tell me that the generated error is raised from Courier and I there should post my question in the Courier mailing list (although I don't understand the role of Courier-IMAP in the described error scenario) => Can anyone give me a hint or solution to my problem??? Well...end of much talking. Hopefully someone has experience with this setup or can give me some good hints! :-) Thanks a lot for any help! ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
