Installing 3.2.3 on debian 9, postgres 9.6.17 WHY WHY WHY! is the documentation STILL so incomplete? Why hasn't anyone put a COMPLETE minimum working example of master.cf, main.cf, sql-recipients.cf, sql-virtual_mailbox_domains.cf, sql-virtual_mailbox_maps.cf, and pg_hba.conf? I've looked and can't find anything for 3.2.3 -- oh, there's stuff out there that is outdated by a decade, but nothing current that I can find.
Do you have to start the imapd or other services, or do they start on their own? what's the difference if I use ldap vs. sql as a driver? if I use pgsql as a hash to the postgres tables, does that mean I should use ldap as the hash instead? chroot default changed to yes from no, does that mean the smtp line needs to be changed or the dbmail-lmtp line at the end of master.cf? What's this 'compatability' line? set at 2? What does that mean, oh, look, no documentation. If I'm using old config files from version 2, should it be changed to something else? Why isn't there an install script that downloads installs and configures postfix, postgresql and dbmail (or other combinations)? Millions of man-hours to write awesome software, loads of documentation, and as nebulous and unusable as ever. This is the reason people don't want to migrate away from Microsuck operating systems. RE: 3.2.3/INSTALL, part 2. ..."Edit the dbmail.conf file and set everything to your likings." What? what does that mean? Why not provide a MWE of what dbmail.conf should look like and explain anything that shouldn't be left default. In my case, I can't insert users using dbmail-users; and you don't have any troubleshooting FAQs on your website or on the Install docs. Maybe, because of my frustration over this, I've missed something, but I've spent 3 whole days on this ONE issue. Someone (group) really needs to work on an install script. I need to be put back on the mail server.
