[sorry for the long post] Hey, guys!
I think I may have found a partial solution to my problem[s] yesterday, this morning. Problem: how to redirect email to /home/$user/Maildir file, and have the server recognize this as the INBOX of the user. >From the Postfix mailing list, i've found out that the culprit in this case is the version of imap i was using. They told me to find and download a patched version of imap. I found imap-4.5-3mdir4.i386 [rpm], installed it on my system. Now that that's done, I have a new problem, one that deals with the pam_pwdb.so pam module. So, I edited /etc/pam.d/imap, commented every line that references to that pam module. I also edited my [Postfix's] /etc/postfix/main.cf to uncomment home_mailbox = Maildir and comment the mail_spool_directory parameter, so that all mails will go to a user's home directory under the name Maildir [not folder Maildir, as formerly thought of]. Then as root, i mailed to one of my users. When I logged in through webmail using my user's username and password, imagine me jumping up and down [ooops, almost bumped my head there...] when i found out it is now finally working. So, that fixes half of the problem. [whew!] The next step now is to find a way to enable POP for, say M$ Outlook, have the MUA look for mail from the user's home directory. Any ideas on this? Can anyone please point me to the right direction? Thanks a lot for all your help so far, guys... :) ----------------------- Spawn - The Scourge of the Damned Chris G Haravata IT Resource Officer-Magallanes Asia Pacific College (http://www.apc.edu.ph) #3 Humabon Place, Magallanes Subd., Makati City Tel No 8529232 loc 402 Cell No 0916.3500465 http://www.dynamicsms.com.au/intro.asp?ref=09163500465&refc=382 --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
