[courier-users] Courier Question
Hey guys, I've been lurking on the list for a while and I have a question about Courier. We're looking to implement a new mail system and want to move away from a commerical solution towards an open source SMTP + LDAP + IMAP solution. Currently, we have an SMTP + LDAP setup, but we're looking at possible IMAP solutions. We looked at Cyrus, but we found that it didn't really let us do the setup as we'd like. We'd like to have SMTP deliver to a particular MailDir as specifed by the mailMessageStore value in LDAP (below is a sample LDAP entry). dn: [EMAIL PROTECTED],dc=dev2,dc=test,dc=spam objectClass: top objectClass: MailAccount accountStatus: ACTIVE uid: 1000 userName: michaeln mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailMessageStore: m.sub/i.sub/michaeln.macnt/ mailHost: dev2.test.spam clearPassword: password2 userPassword:: cGFzc3dvcmQy That part works fine, but Cyrus doesn't seem to let us pass such a value to the IMAP/POP3 daemon. Cyrus seems to want us to use LMTP and the Cyrus delivery agent to deliver mail to the appropriate location (as somehow determined by Cyrus). The problem here is that it's somewhat commom for users to want to change their username and in the future we want to make sure that it's easy to migrate a user's mail. If we could make it such that such a procedure would only involve updating LDAP, that'd be ideal (e.g. we would update the mailHost and mailMessageStore values to move a user to a MailDir on a different server etc.) Before I jump into Courier, can you guys tell me if Courier can do what I want above?

RE: [courier-users] Courier Question
Is the UID Field and the GID not supposed to match the actual name of the
field in the MySQL table?
So
MYSQL_UID_FIELD '101'
MYSQL_GID_FIELD '103'
Should perhaps be MYSQL_UID_FIELD Uid
MYSQL_GID_FIELD Gid
My users table has the a column name of Uid and Gid to store the Uid and Gid
that Courier uses to manipulate the home dir. I believe. :) Still figuring
things out.

Subject: [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.
Thanks again,
Dan

RE: [courier-users] Courier Question
Your description is a little vague... I am GUESSING that you are using the server as a gateway as well? and it has a public and private address? If that's the case, your problem is in your routing or NAT config - not with courier - you can handle it a variety of ways all not really courier topics, but including creating a hosts file, or using internal DNS or using a different NAT setup to capture the traffic properly. m/ -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of David Gomillion Sent: Wednesday, December 10, 2003 8:12 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [courier-users] Courier Question I already sent this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I thought this should be sent to the list to make it searchable in the archives/on google.com.
