Re: [courier-users] Auto-upload mail from backup server to main server?
You could deliver all email that you're intending to forward into a maildir and user djb's serialmail to deliver when you want it to. Its pretty simple to setup and should work fine with a virtualdomain setup for each domain that you backup. You could just set serialmail to run ever 5 or 10 minutes automaticly and you'd have automated store and forward. -Peter On Tue, Jan 15, 2002 at 07:28:46AM +, William Hue wrote: Hi All, I've been using Courier since v0.29.0; great product! I have two mail servers for a given domain, call it domain.com for the purpose of this discussion. The two servers are at two separate sites. I've set up two MX entries for domain.com with different preferences, and this works fine. Mail gets accepted by the primary server (mail.domain.com); if the primary fails, mail starts going to the secondary server (mail2.domain.com). My question is: Is there a way for me to, from a cron job, upload e-mail from the secondary server back to the primary server (when it is back up), so my users don't have to check for e-mail from both servers? I figure this would be as simple as forwarding new messages, but I need to be able to specify the MTA as mail.domain.com, or else the local server accepts the forwarded messages again. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[courier-users] Still having virual host problems
Several courier users that I know have the same problem and it has been posted multiple times before to no avail: We cannot seem to understand how to do the virtual host thing. We are hosting several domains and are trying to get courier to work. Several questions come up and they could all be answered if there was someone who had examples of how it should be configured. A short list of examples could be understood, the man pages are a little vague when it comes to the details. The courier virual host document web page is full of holes that no one seems to answer when asked on this list. Examples: the dot-courier man: The file $HOME/.courier specifies how messages are delivered to this accountWho's home? and how is it configured? To do this, install $HOME/.courier-foo, with delivery instructions for mail addressed to user-foo@domain. What syntax for these delivery instructions? Again working examples as oposed to long drawn out instructions would be helpful. tom ___ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users

Hello, If I open IMAP mailbox READ-ONLY (with EXAMINE), I cannot delete/undelete messages, but I can change read/unread status of messages. Why does courier-imap allow me to do this?

[courier-users] Start IMAP server from xinetd?
I've gotten the Courier IMAP server to work on my Linux box (RedHat 7.1),
and it functions fine. However, the courier-imap.sysvinit script doesn't
seem to work for me.
Since this incarnation of Linux uses xinetd to start internet services
rather than inetd, I was looking for suggestions on how to configure the
imap file to start courier-imap(-ssl). FWIW, the imap file in /etc/xinetd.d
(formerly used to start UW IMAP) looks like this:
# default: off
# description: The IMAP service allows remote users to access their
# mail using an IMAP client such as Mutt, Pine, fetchmail, or Netscape
# Communicator.
service imap
{
socket_type = stream
wait= no

server = /usr/sbin/imapd
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = yes # used to be no, but now using
# courier-imap started from separate

}

[courier-users] Compile Problem on Solaris
OS: Solaris 2.7 Courier: 1.4.1 Hi. I am trying to compile Courier on solaris and having this issue: ld.so.1: /usr/local/courier/libexec/couriertcpd: fatal: libgdbm.so.2: open failed: No such file or directory when I run the compiled executable (using imapd.rc start). I tried setting the LDFLAGS variable but to no avail. libgdbm.2 is in /usr/local/lib and when I do ldd on couriertcpd, it lists the library (so it finds it) I decided to try to compile with DB3 but my DB code is in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3 and during compile, it complaints it can't find db.h. Is there a way to tell the configure script that the location of the DB library is in /usr/local/BerkeleyDB.3.3? Or is there a way to somehow fix the problem with gdbm?

[courier-users] Re: Auto-upload mail from backup server to main server?
Tim Hosking writes: That's odd. I have a similar set-up and it just works. I don't have to do anything to have the mail relayed to the primary when it comes back online. Assuming that the backup server has an entry for the primary's domain in esmtpacceptmailfor.dir/accept and that domain is not listed in locals or hosteddomains then the forwarding should be automatic. I don't pretend to know exactly how this is achieved or indeed if I am correct in the above statements, but it sounds to me as if you have a This is correct. This is achieved simply by following the instructions in INSTALL: Define local domains The configuration file /usr/lib/courier/etc/locals is a list of all the domains that are considered local. Mail to any address in any local domain is handled as a local delivery. If this file does not exist Courier will use the contents of the me configuration file, or it will obtain its machine name from the operating system. This file contains a list of domains, one per line. In most cases you need to initialize this file to contain every hostname that has a DNS A, or , record pointing to any IP address assigned to this machine, including localhost. ... Create a list of domains to accept mail for If you would like your server to function as a backup mail relay for other domains, create /usr/lib/courier/etc/esmtpacceptmailfor. This is a plain text file, containing a list of domains, one per line. This file lists all domains your server will accept mail for. NOTE: if you create this file, you MUST include all your local domains. Usually you can simply append what you have in /usr/lib/courier/etc/locals. If you've followed these instructions to the letter, Courier will correctly function as a backup MX. The most common cause of backup MX misconfiguration is forgetting to list all hostnames with one of your A/ records in locals (or hosteddomains). If that happens, Courier may not see itself listed as an MX for a given domain, and treat it no differently than any other remote domain, and ending up looping all mail to itself, until it bounces. -- Sam ___ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
[courier-users] Correct Installion errors use webadmin
Just thought I'd put in a good word for webadmin. I walked through the install instructions twice. First time I did | make install DESTDIR=/var/tmp/courier-inst| make install-perms make test make install make install-configure I ended up with /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail that would only run as root and gave me 400 error code? I had trouble diagnosing this as it's setuid root so user mode debugging is difficult and the problem doesn't manifest when running as root! (also by the time I got to that point in the instructions I needed esmtp running as I am not decomissioning an existing mail service but the instructions had not told me to run it yet). make install make install-configure I got error 450(?) service not available? Decided to give webadmin a try. Worked like a charm! I highly recommend it and am willing to work with Sam (or whoever to integrate the documentation into webadmin) to make it more tutorial like.

Re: [courier-users] Auto-upload mail from backup server to main server?
Its easy to use, but if the documentation doesn't do it for you let me know and I'll send you a one-liner that works for me from a backup host. For those who are interested the advantages of this over a normal backup MX scenario are as follows: 1) Serialmail never bounces. If your DNS gets completely shot and you're upstream nameserver is returning authoritative nxdomain for your main server while its unreachable (or something along those lines) and your backup host works, serialmail will not bounce the email - it'll just retry. 2) Its seperate from your other services. Nice, small, and self-contained. -- The 5 year plan: In five years we'll make up another plan.

[courier-users] Suggested patch for RFC2045.
Hi,
sorry for returning for this so discussed matter.
In the patch below I suggest that there is NO change in the behavior of
Courier related to email servers that violates RFC2045 EXCEPT if the
environment variable IGNORE_RFC2045 is set to '1'.
So for those who must accept these messages without the rewrite the they
just need to add this line to esmtpd configuration file:
IGNORE_RFC2045=1
I repeat that there will be no change in how Courier deal with these
messages unless this line is added.
This simple patch changes only 4 lines in the code and will prevent a
recompilation for many people.

[courier-users] imap proxy
Hi list I'm sorry for probably OT question. I use stand-alone Courier-IMAP 1.4.0 SSL with Qmail/Vpopmail - everything works ok. Now we're going to redesign our network and implement DMZ/private LAN scheme. I'm planning to have two mail servers: one server goes to DMZ (real IP addresses) and acts as a mail relay/forwarder + AVI/SPAM scanning, another server goes to private LAN (192.168.0.0) and actually stores usernames and passwords. Mail relaying is OK, I saw some hints in qmail FAQ how to forward mail to another mail server. But the problem is that I have to have IMAP-SSL access from outside (from Internet) - so I think about some kind of IMAP-SSL proxying, when users from Internet try to access mail server in DMZ and this server, in some way, forwards login information/mail to the server in private LAN (it'll run Courier-IMAP SSL). Is it possible to make this with Courier-IMAP or this is wrong list to ask? May be someone here has a similiar setup - please help me. Looking forward to hear from you.
