Hi all, I am new to the Courier mail server, and am busy configuring my first Courier mail server. Hoewever, things does not exactly go according to plan. (Does it ever?)
I have installed Courier on a Debian box. Followed the installation guide as close as possible. I manage to pick up mail for local users on the Debian Box with a POP client - and this works fine. This is not the final aim though.... My final aim is to have a virtual domain running on this mail server, serving a large number of mail users with POP mailservices. I have done the following: - Created a directory called "userdb" under /etc/courier - In this directory I created a file called mydomain.xx as per the makeuserdb man page. For the home and mail directories I use the same entries "/home/mailboxes/mydomain.xx/user. In each user's account I ran "maildirmake Maildir" and changed the ownership of the entire mailbox/* tree to daemon:daemon - subsequestly I executed userdbpw as per the userdbpw with no encryption ie. userdbpw | userdb [EMAIL PROTECTED] set systempw - In the directory "hosteddomains" I touched a file called "mydomain.xx" - in the directory esmtpacceptmailfor.dir I touched a file called "mydomain.xx" - ran makeuserdb - ran makealiases - ran makehosteddomains - ran makeacceptedmailfor - in authdaemonrc I have the following entries: authmodulelist="authuserdb authcustom authcram authpgsql authshadow authpwd" - restart all courier processes. Now the fun begins: Courier starts up fine. I set up an e-mail client (Evolution) to try and read the mail from this virtual mailbox. While setting up, I tell Evolution to look for supported authentication modes, and I get a response (LOGIN, password, Cram-md5) which tells me that the POP server responds to the client's request. BUT I just keep on getting "LOGON FAILURES" while local accounts are logged on succesfully. Where do I start? What am I missing? Anyone care to point me to some documentation etc? Any ideas please?
