My courier email server crashed last week so I rebuilt the whole thing from scratch using RedHat 5.3. The install was kept to as little extra as possible.
I installed the lastest courier and courier-authlib packages by downloading the tarballs and running rpmbuild -ta against them. I created a non-root user called "install" just for this purpose. The rpmbuild process ran fine and I installed the rpms and user=root. It seems to have worked pretty well but I am seeing some problems I have not been able to figure out. 1. Every time I click on or off the "Enable mail filtering and autoresponders" option in WebAdmin, authentication suddenly stops working. The problem is the file /etc/authlib/authdaemonrc gets overwritten as a zero byte file. Quickly copying in a new, proper file and restarting the services gets everything flowing again. This happens every time I switch this setting. 2. With mail filtering enabled, I can not seem to be able to save a new filter in the Webmail interface. If I try to create a new rule and click "Save all changes" I get the message that "The following filters have been saved" but nothing shows up in the list of filter rules. The new rules just seem to disappear into the bit bucket. It has been a couple years since I have done a full install of Courier but the process went smoothly and I did not see any errors. Email is flowing well and I can connect, etc. What have I buggered up here? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
