Hi all once again,
I hope that I am not disturbing you guys by posting frequently!
Seems that the basic part of my DBmail setup is working now.
I can telnet to Postfix on port 25 and dbmail-lmtpd running on port 24 seems to
be delivering emails as expected to the individuals users created on this
system.
I know this because I can actually see the emails in the dbmail_messageblks
table.
I can also telnet to port 143 on this machine.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] telnet localhost 143
Trying ::1...
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.wlink.com.np.
Escape character is '^]'.
* OK dbmail imap (protocol version 4r1) server 2.2 ready to run
Ok, this is good. To test if the messages arrived, you can try this
'script':
[EMAIL PROTECTED] telnet localhost 143
[...it connects, etc...]
A001 LOGIN username password
A002 SELECT INBOX
A003 LOGOUT
Hi Aaron,
Thanks for the tip.

Replace username and password with an actual account on your system.
After entering the SELECT Inbox command, it will report back how many
messages are there and a few other details. If that works, then the
DBMail side of things won't need any more major configuration.
I guess that above commands worked! So the DBmail side of things don't
need configurations? So they should work with my mail clients?
[EMAIL PROTECTED] sockstat -4l
nobody dbmail-imapd 24495 5 tcp4 *:143 *:*
nobody dbmail-imapd 22485 5 tcp4 *:143 *:*
nobody dbmail-imapd 22484 5 tcp4 *:143 *:*
nobody dbmail-imapd 22482 5 tcp4 *:143 *:*
root dbmail-imapd 22481 5 tcp4 *:143 *:*
This looks right.
However, I am having some problems while retrieving my emails using IMAP/POP3.
How do I configure my MUA to retrieve my emails from the DBmail database.
If your MUA was previously configured for a particular IMAP server, then
you might have some specific settings left over that are not useful. The
only thing I can think of right away is the mailbox namespace, but there
might be a few other little things like that. That should not affect
just seeing messages in your Inbox, though.
Let me delete all my previous accounts and re-create them.
Which MUA are you using? What problems does it seem to be having?
I am experimenting with Outlook Express, Thunderbird, Kmail and Sylpheed
Claws. Maybe it could be my firewall which is causing the problem. I
will re-check and rectify my firewall rules.
I know that I am in the early stage of DBmail evolution. I really find
the idea of storing emails in a database unique and interesting and
should be scalable. If everything works out nicely and smoothly in the
future, I plan to implement DBmail in a large environment.
By the way, what will happen say, if we have 20000 users and each user
gets 1 GB mailbox space and all users use 90% of their quota? Pardon me
but I am not very familiar with databases and their structures.
Thanking you...
Aaron
