Thank you very much for the responses. That was it. I only had hosts file configured, but no DNS. Now it works.

I'll give you some pointers with that in mind. > -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. That's fine. To start out, it's probably simplest to use system users (as you've done) and get acquainted with the normal Unix user management tools. > With this I have the folder in $HOME/tester Pointer: $HOME is a variable set when you log in, which points at your home directory. "$HOME" is not the same thing as /home (that is, it usually has a value other than "/home"). If you log in as "tester" and 'echo $HOME', it should print "/home/tester" > -Second, I log on as tester (su tester) and I used maildirmake > $HOME/maildir to create the maildir test in $HOME/tester. Unix systems are case sensitive, so you'll probably want to log in as tester and 'mv maildir Maildir' to rename the maildir. > After I use follow these steps: > > mkdir /usr/local/etc/authlib/userdb .. Since you're using system users, you don't need the userdb.

I also add mydomain.es to my dns file What do you mean by your "dns file"? /etc/hosts is not sufficient, if that's what you're referring to. The domain you're using needs to be set up *properly* in DNS. If you need to, for testing purposes, install named on the virtual host and configure the domain there. Then add 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf (or use the network config tool to add it). > Sep 28 05:56:02 prueba courieresmtpd: > error, relay=::ffff:x.y.z.w,from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > 517 Domain does not exixts: mydomain.es Set up the domain in DNS. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users ¡Todo tu Wanadoo estés dónde estés!
