RE: [courier-users] question setting up userdb
When I try this, I cannot receive any mail at all, even local to local users. I've seen an answer from A. Birkholz suggesting that I fut a file .courier-username in the aliasdir and run makealiases. But I cannot see how that will work, when I'm not trying to make an alias. I have a number of Unix users who will have a mail account on my courier MTA. Next to those users, I want to be able to have a number of mailaccounts who don't get an Unix account, for security reasons. Using userdb for those accounts was my idea. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Anand Buddhdev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Verzonden: maandag 10 juni 2002 10:45 Aan: M. van der Kolk CC: Courier Mailinglist Onderwerp: Re: [courier-users] question setting up userdb On Mon, Jun 10, 2002 at 10:02:29AM +0200, M. van der Kolk wrote: I'm having a problem setting up the userdb authentication.

It should be: test home=/home/courierusers|[EMAIL PROTECTED]|systempw=testpw|gid=100|uid=1011 Do NOT put the domain name after the username in the userdb entry, and list your local domain ONLY in the locals file. -Oorspronkelijk bericht- Van: Anand Buddhdev [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Verzonden: maandag 10 juni 2002 10:45 Aan: M. van der Kolk CC: Courier Mailinglist Onderwerp: Re: [courier-users] question setting up userdb On Mon, Jun 10, 2002 at 10:02:29AM +0200, M. van der Kolk wrote: I'm having a problem setting up the userdb authentication.

Re: [courier-users] question setting up userdb
If your domain is defined in locals you have to remove the @domain part of your username. To use the @domain part is only necessary for domains listed in hosteddomains not in locals.

Re: [courier-users] question setting up userdb
That's it. We should consider to put this hint to the courier manual. I think most of the newbies run into trouble with that.
