Re: [courier-users] Fwd: NOTICE: mail delivery status.
Yes... strange! :-( This happened yesterday, I tried multiple times to post a message (always from the same account and same server) and they would bounce. I've seen this happen in the past. I don't know if I have something misconfigured with my server, it happens very rarely, and then towards the end of the day the list will start accepting the post again. This is strange and annoying. :-( Is this a feature of courier, that it checks/verifies the sender address (which, btw, has always been a perfectly valid address) Wild... you're emailing this list with a rejection from the list saying you can't email it? Neat trick :-)Did you send these messages from different servers or different accounts? == Hello, Does anyone know why I'm getting the error below? This started happening all of a sudden. The sender address is [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is a valid address... Is this an error message generated by courier? If so, how can courier be configured to test/check sender addresses?

RE: [courier-users] Howto: Virtual mail users on courier
From: Dave Kliczbor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] After I did not find any howto to create virtual mail hosting on courier besides the standard installation documentation, I tinkered around on my own server and logged what I did. Then I added some comments and put the whole thing online on http://da.andaka.org/Doku/courier-vmaildir.html Before I release the document into the public (i.e. advertising it) I'd like to discuss it with people who know Courier. So, I'd be delighted if some people on this list read that document and give me some feedback (and typo and grammar correction, as I'm german). I didn't notice any typos or grammar problems on a quick read through. I did come up with a couple of other questions/suggestions. #1 Do NOT use dots in the directory names! It somehow confuses at least one part of the courier mail suite. Instead, substitute dots with e.g. dashes. What problems did you have with dots? All of my domain directories have dots and I've never run into any problems. #2 userdb maligree-yi-org/[EMAIL PROTECTED] set home=/var/mail \ mail=/var/mail/domains/maligree-yi-org/maligree/ uid=8 gid=8 Unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise, it's usually a good idea not to specify the 'mail' attribute in userdb. It causes headaches because the maildir is not in the default location. It's better to just specify the home directory and let the maildir default to $HOME/Maildir. It looks like you are also making the home directory be the same for everyone. If you give everyone their own home directory, then Courier can manage their .courier and .mailfilter files separately. In your case, I would rather do this: home=/var/mail/domains/maligree-yi-org/maligree/ And if you create an /etc/courier/maildroprc file like this: xfilter spamc if (/^X-Spam-Level: *.*$/) { to ./Maildir/.Spam } Then you have almost the same delivery setup with much less work. Any non-spam email will be filtered through $HOME/.mailfilter if it exists. With no other delivery instructions, mail is automatically delivered to $HOME/Maildir. #3 echo |spamc |maildrop /var/mail/.maildroprc .courier If you set maildrop as DEFAULTDELIVERY in /etc/courier/courierd, then you don't have to specify it in everyone's .courier file. And with the directory structure I mentioned above, you don't need to specify the maildroprc location. Also see above for an alternate way to call spamc. Just keep in mind that if a .courier file exists in the user's home directory, it will override the delivery instructions in courierd. Hopefully this is helpful.

[courier-users] How fast is a message supposed to be processed and then appear in maillog?
Hi, In my continued quest to better understand how courier's queue processing works, I'd like to understand what controls how/when a message that is in the queue actually gets processed and sent out (this of course is for outbound smtp). I've been running some tests, sending out messages, and sometimes a message gets processed (and its delivery logged in the maillog) almost immediately. However, sometimes a message goes into the queue (is visible in mailq), however doesn't actually get delivered for a couple of minutes. I've actually had it such that messages got stuck in mailq for tens of minutes. Doesn't make much sense to me, I'd just like to understand what parameters control that and how I can try to tune courier. Thanks Ricardo --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.

[courier-users] Courier + mailman, revisited
I am currently working on using mailman on my courier server. I seem to be having some issues with the alias stuff.

The interesting thing is that I have a catch-all address, so it would seem that it should end up there at the very least... I have tried the following variants: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post all_employees [EMAIL PROTECTED]: |/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post all_employees [EMAIL PROTECTED]: | /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post all_employees [EMAIL PROTECTED]:tab|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post all_employees [EMAIL PROTECTED]:tab|/usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post all_employees [EMAIL PROTECTED]:tab| /usr/local/mailman/mail/mailman post all_employees And, yes, I ran makealiases between each of the tries. I also tried restarting courier. I am running userdb with all virtual domains. Only around 100 users. RedHat 9. Plenty of horsepower. I'm pretty much stumped. Any help anybody can lend would be appreciated. Thanks, David Gomillion --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials. Become an expert in LINUX or just sharpen your skills.

Well, it doesn't seem to happen that way.

That is why I'm confused about this. Next time I catch that, I'll post it to the list again, with more detailed info.

[courier-users] Courier Question
Hello Everyone, I have a very simple question today for you guys, I hope. I just recently decided to setup courier so I instlaled all the software and I build the rpm. I am using MySQL with it and amd using courier for my virtual users only, not real system users. I have a database called mail in mysql, and three tables, aliases, domains, and mailboxes. Since aliases and domains aren't apart of my problem, the layout of mailboxes only is username,password,name,maildir,quota,domain,create_date,change_date,active. Everything is working fine. I installed courier-imap and then courier-imap-mysql just find by the rpms i built. After I installed those two packages I edited authdaemonrc to: authmodulelist=authmysql authmodulelistorig=authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap authpgsql authmysql authpam daemons=5 version=authdaemond.mysql with everything else default. Then i proceeded to change authmysqlrc to: MYSQL_SERVERlocalhost MYSQL_USERNAME root MYSQL_PASSWORD mypwd # MYSQL_SOCKET /var/mysql/mysql.sock #MYSQL_PORT 0 MYSQL_OPT 0 MYSQL_DATABASE mail #MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELDcrypt MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD password MYSQL_UID_FIELD '101' MYSQL_GID_FIELD '103' MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD username MYSQL_NAME_FIELDname MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD maildir DEFAULT_DOMAIN fast-build.com and everything else default (i think i got eerything though). Note for maildir I keep all my virtual mail in /mail/virtual with folders under the actual mail address, like [EMAIL PROTECTED] And lastly I edited my imapd file with the following values changed: ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 AUTHMODULES=authdaemon Those are the only two things worth nothing in that file I believe. Now heres my problem. Since I'm on windows and my server is hooked up to my network I can access it two ways. I can go directly through the network to the server by using the routers assigned IP, or I can use my IP assigned to the route and have the signal sent to the server cus I have it setup to forward all requests on port 143 to the server. When I connect through the network I can connect just find, and log in as a user so Mysql is setup correctly and everything, but when i try and use my actual IP address, 63.127.45.55, I can't connect, and it just times out. I have tried playing around with the ip setting in imapd but i keeps giving me errors if i don't set it to the loopback ip or 0, whatever that means. I would read logs but I'm not sure what log the info is in that pertains to this problem. My server is setup as follows. It's redhat linux 7.3 with postfix 2.0.16 and courier-imap 2.2.1. If anyone could help me out with this, give me some pointers on how to make it let me connect outside my home network, that would be great.
