Hello, First, I'm newby with Courier server and also I don't have a strong knowledge of Linux in general, so apologize if my questions are a little bit trivial.
I have RHL4 installed in a virtual machine (VMware). On this virtual machine I've installed Courier server. After some problems, I think I got a sucessfully installation. The name of the virtual machine is, let's say, //prueba and, for example once the courier is running I reach prueba from outside the virtual machine by telnet prueba 25. I only want to test Courier, so the only thing I want at the moment is to send a mail from me to me. -First, how should I create the user accounts? I mean what I've done so far is create a new user/group through System Settings/Users and Groups. This user/group is tester. With this I have the folder in $HOME/tester -Second, I log on as tester (su tester) and I used maildirmake $HOME/maildir to create the maildir test in $HOME/tester. After I use follow these steps: mkdir /usr/local/etc/authlib/userdb chmod 700 /usr/local/etc/authlib/userdb userdb "tester" set home=/home/tester mail=/home/tester/maildir uid=x gid=x userdbpw | userdb "tester" set systempw -Third, I create /usr/lib/courier/etc/locals file and I add the following: mydomain.es localhost prueba and then, I run makealiases. I also add mydomain.es to my dns file -Fourth, I create /usr/lib/courier/etc/defaultdomain with the line mydomain.es and run again makealiases. (mydomain.es is not a real domain, I mean It is only local to my virtual machine) Finally I try to send a mail from [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using a mail client (Evolution that is installed by default with RHL4) and I get these error: Sep 28 05:56:02 prueba courieresmtpd: error, relay=::ffff:x.y.z.w,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 517 Domain does not exixts: mydomain.es Sep 28 05:56:02 prueba courieresmtpd: error, relay=::ffff:x.y.z.w,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: 517 Invalid domain Where is the error? Should I configure anything more? Is the right way to create users? According to what I've read, this would be a virtual user. And real users? Thanks in advance for your help.
