[courier-users] IMAP-SSL Port
Hello, As my Mail from the 24th of June still remains unanswered, I post it again... I try to make Courier-IMAP run with the SSL-Wrapper on Port 993. The Problem I have is that as soon as I define SSLPORT=993 in /etc/courier/imap-ssl the IMAP Servers listens on the old (and I think depreciated) port 585 as shown by netstat -an | grep LISTEN: --cut-- tcp0 0 :::995 :::* LISTEN tcp0 0 :::585 :::* LISTEN tcp0 0 :::110 :::* LISTEN tcp0 0 :::143 :::* LISTEN --cut-- If I set SSLPORT to anything different from 993 then it acts correctly. I can set every other possible port but not 993 which is the one I want. I tried it with Courier-IMAP-1.4.6 and 1.5.0. Port 993 is not used by anything else. Does someone have an idea where this might come from?

[courier-users] Authentication fails for some users while working fine for others
Hi guys, I run courier-imap-1.4.6 over SSL port on Linux with QMail. Here is what really strange. Right after reboot, it all works fine for a while. I can successfully connect to three different accounts on different domains using the same client from the same computer. After a few successful authentications two accounts start giving me error Login failed, while one account continue to work fine. I tried to change options in /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/authdaemonrc and /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd, but nothing seems to make change. Also, I could not find where any log file for either imapd or authdaemon is. I hope that looking up error message in log files may explain something. How would I control where the log files are? Some lines in authdaemonrc are: authmodulelist=authvchkpw version=authdaemond.plain daemons=10 Some lines in imapd are: MAXDAEMONS=40 MAXPERIP=20 AUTHMODULES=authdaemon IMAP_CHECK_ALL_FOLDERS=1 IMAP_USELOCKS=1 Has anyone encountered a similar problem?

[courier-users] Courier and PAM's session management service (Again)
Hi, I am using WinBind to authenticate IMAP and ESMTP logins on my Linux mail server (Courier MTA version 0.35) to my Win2k Domain Controller. That way, users who have an account in the Win2k domain can use the same username and password to login to my Linux mail server. WinBind (included in my Samba 2.2.5 installation) plugs into PAM and Courier supports PAM through the authpam module, so everything works fine up to a certain point. Imagine that a newly created user uses his/her favourite Email program to log into my IMAP server. The IMAP daemon verifies the user's password through authdaemon. authdaemon sends the request to authpam, which sends it to PAM, which sends it to the pam_winbind module, which sends it to the domain controller. Once the user is authenticated the IMAP daemon looks for the user's maildir. It looks for it in the user's home. But there is no user home yet. Of course the administrator could create one, but I would like it to be created automatically. Luckily there is the pam_mkhomedir module which can be used to create a home directory when a user log in for the first time. The pam_mkhomeir module provides the PAM session service so my /etc/pam.d/imap contains the following line: sessionrequired/lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so... Unfortunately, IMAPD doesn't seem to invoke the session service and I don't know why. Consequently, the home directory is not created and IMAP can't find the user's maildir. There is special code (session voodoo) for PAM's session service in Courier's authpam.c but that doesn't seem to be invoked. Is this because I am using authdaemon? If I recall correctly , authdaemon provides asynchronous authentication which sort of contradicts the idea of a session. Any ideas on how to solve this problem are welcome. I'd also appreciate alternative solutions for my create maildir on the fly approach. --- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek We have stuff for geeks like you. http://thinkgeek.com/sf ___ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users

Whichever process you use to create new accounts, add additional logic to the same process that creates the home directory and maildirs.

[courier-users] Permission error
I'm trying to set up my first Courier-MTA package on my Debian Woody 3.0 system with apt-get. I install the whole package, I tried to configure with Webmin module. When I clicked on mail server name and local domain link, I got configuration error: hosteddomains/webadmin: permission denied error. I checked the permission of /usr/lib/cgi-bin/courierwebadmin file, the permission is set to -r-sr-xr-x 1 root root. I installed Woody default courier 0.37.3. Courier is up and running. I read the documents that comes with it but it only talks about the courier setup in general terms and I can't seem to find any Debian specific manual or HOWTO. Is there one that I can read for Courier specific to Debian?? What else can I check so that I can configure courier-MTA on my server?

Qpopper is a POP3 server one is included in Courier Imap suite, so you get the Imap server and the POP3 server. So just adjust you mail client e.g pine to refer to either Imap or POP3. 3.

Even when I try to connect from any other e-mail agent, I get "Login Failed". I am running IMAP with courier sendmail, esmtp, authdaemon (aothpwd and authshadow). Also when I try to send something from outside the machine, the mail is returned with the error: "could not establish SMTP connection" with error #4.4.1".
