[courier-users] Updating from 1.7.0 to 2.2.1
I am trying to update my courier-imap installation (running under SuSE Linux 8.1) from version 1.7.0 to version 2.2.1. The instructions are clear, there are no error messages during build or compilation, nor when I start the system. The server also responds (to a connection by telnet on port 143), but all login attempts fail. I tried various IMAP clients plus a smal test script written in Python, so I assume it's not the clients' fault (and moreover they all worked fine with 1.7.0. I did check that the authdaemon is started, but I don't see what else I can check or where I can look for information. There doesn't seem to be anything in the system log. Any suggestions?

[courier-users] IMAP daemon dying
I just wrote about updating to 2.2.1, but perhaps I should explain why I am trying to do so, it may not be a solution to my problem. With 1.7.0, I have always had one minor problem: when accessing several folders in quick succession, the IMAP daemon would die (that's at least what KMail says, Apple Mail simply goes to offline mode). That wasn't too much of a problem until I wanted to go on a longer trip with my laptop and work in offline mode. Any attempt to synchronize all of my folders (around 100) is bound to fail, as I never get beyond the first 20 or so, ususally not beyond the first 5. I tried both Apple Mail and Mozilla (MacOS and Linux), both show the same problem. I found some discussion of this problem on a Mozilla mailing list, and they say it's a problem with courier-imap, without going into details. All I can say is that I do not have such problems with another IMAP account that runs on a Cyrus server. My update attempt was motivated by a desire to get rid of this problem because I need offline mode more and more frequently. Is this a well-known problem? A solved one?

Re: [courier-users] IMAP daemon dying
Make sure that MAXDAEMONS and MAXPERIP in /etc/courier/imapd are set appropriately. By default courier only allows 4 connections per IP. I know that when using Mail and the limit is too low I get an SSL error and then go offline.

[courier-users] Postfix - MySQL - courierIMAP and Maildrop
Hi, I have a system up and running with Postfix, CourierIMAP and MySQL. All mailboxes are virtual users on different domains. There is also SpamAssassin and Amavis running to mark spam and scan for virusses. I now want to enable mailfiltering (mostly for automatically moving of spam to a separate folder). Maildrop seems to be the right software for this, but I have problems configuring it. Can someone send me, or point me to a howto that describes: - Compiling and configuring MailDrop (especially the location and format of the mysql config file) - Configuration of PostFix for maildrop Thanks, Felix --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.

[courier-users] tricky problem
We have servers installed to handle inbound and outbound mail, behind those servers we have the scanning and filter server. For inbound we use qmail, for outbound courier, installed on the same server (there is a pair of them). All outgoing mail should go through the courier, all incoming mail should go to the qmail part. Now all mx records point to the qmail part (roundrobin). When I try sending a mail via courier, that has a domain that is pointing to us, I get the mail loops back to myself error. I found a way to get around that, I can put the ip-address of the other twin server into esmtproutes for the domains we host, but that is not very elegant. Anyone has a better idea? ev -- File not found. Should I fake it? (Y/N) http://www.evelyn.org --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.

I tried rewriting it as: if ( $i == 1 ( ! $MATCH =~ /Received: .*\(AUTH: .*\) *by/) ) That'll usually accomplish the same, but it'll take longer. It's key to writing fast regexs that you avoid .* as often as you can. But that doesn't seem to match anything - is the Received line converted back to a single line prior to this processing? Should be. The pattern works for me, though the rest of my conditional is different. I would think so, maybe the problem is the if syntax and not the pattern? It's probalby related to the !. You may need an additional set of parens around the $MATCH =! //. Either that, or MATCH doesn't have the whole line, and what you really need is foreach /Received: .*/. --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Perforce Software.

[courier-users] SOLVED - avoiding SpamAssassin for locally authenticated users WAS RE: [SAtalk] RCVD_IN_DYNABLOCK,RCVD_IN_SORBS in 2.61 when sending myself a test message?
First thanks Gord for the idea, and the starting point and feedback.
Now that the kinks are out I'll publish it here for any it might help and
explain the reasoning.
SpamAssassin has a variety of black hole tests which it applies to the
Received headers.
Recent versions are supposed to ignore all but the FIRST header, and only
test others...
So if you are an adsl home users, as long as you relay THROUGH your SMTP
server, you should be fine - but, it fails to address local sends between
users, and also, due to a bug:
http://bugzilla.spamassassin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2906
it fails to properly identify courier Received headers, which componds the
problem.
As an interrum fix, I wanted a way to bypass spamassassin if a locally
authenticated user is sending the message to a local user on my system. To
do this, I have to test the FIRST Received header and see if it is an AUTH'd
user - if so, I bypass spamc:
i=1
foreach /Received: .*/
{
#echo ASDF4
#echo $MATCH
#note echo sends to syslog - good for debugging!
if ( $i == 1 ( ! ($MATCH =~ /Received: .*\(AUTH: [^)]*\)
*by /)))
{
xfilter /usr/bin/spamc -U
/var/run/spamassassin.sock -u $UI_Email
}
i=$i+1
}
I'll add it to the bug report as a work around in the meantime.
Thanks to all.

[courier-users] Trouble with Courier / SpamAssassin
Hi!
I wish to use SpamAssassin as sapm filter on my mailserver runnig
courier-mta; I'm using unix accounts with separate Maildir's for each user.
I have set it up to use mailfilter, and this part seems to be working
quite well.
I have created a local file .mailfilter in my homedirectory containing
the following:
import HOME
import SENDER
import RECIPIENT
xfilter /usr/bin/spamassassin -t
if (/^X-Spam-Flag: *YES/)
{
to Maildir/.Junk
}
This seems to work quite well.
But when I remove the option -t I only get the following errors:
At the first to be checked Couldn't open ./Maildir: Is a directory at
/usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/NoMailAudit.pm line 365.
With every following mail I get the error Could not lock ./Maildir:
File exists at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/NoMailAudit.pm line 381.
The mails are not delivered at all.
Can someone give me a hint what is misconfigured here?
Thanks in advance,
Jens

In the standard case, rpm is still strict about unpackaged files and deps.
