[courier-users] courier dependencies
Hello all again! Please don't shoot for I am going to ask a question that may seem very general, even off topic. I think it's ok to ask though for it is - in this case - very much about courier. Being a newby I heavily rely on the RPM systems the distros i use provide. It currently being Debian the apt-get and dpkg systems take the task of meeting dependencies off my hands. Even when I am (trying to) building courier I run apt-get build-dep courier and this puts about 60MB of stuff I didn't even know existed on my system so that i can build the tarball. Now my question is: If I start moving from RPM built packages to tarball compiled stuff where do I get the dependencies information from? How do I know which libraries, their versions and other software the given release of courier needs to build or at runtime? If I have missed something in TFManual then I beg for a hint and your pardon. Michael --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.

Sam Varshavchik writes: Warren Konkel writes: I read somewhere that there's a setting somewhere in the imap config file that will turn on auto-sending of anything placed in the Outbox, but will courier then move it to a Sent Items box when it's done or something? No. Although the Outbox is a great feature, you can do a lot yourself using cronjobs. It takes some thinking to get it right, but once it works, it works great. One can implement an outbox this way that does move the item to sent items. I use this myself to process the occasionally misidentified spam or ham. By placing it in the right folder, a cronjob picks it up, feeds it through spamassassin, if spam sends it to spamcop, and files the message in the appropriate folder. This is very easy to do when one user is involved. When multiple users are involved it is actually not that much harder, something like (I have real users and virtual domains): for d in /home/*/Maildir/.Outbox/cur/ `find /var/vmail \ -path /var/vmail/*/.Outbox/cur/` do # process outbox done Processing of a mailbox should ofcourse be done in a manner that is resilient to multiple invocations of the script, I leave that up to your imagination.

Another option you have is to build your own RPMs. The document at http://www.courier-mta.org/status.html states: Building RPMs You can build binary Courier RPMs directly from the tarball, using RPM version 4.0.2 or higher. For example: . . . As you can see, you can build your own RPMs as new versions of Courier are released. It is really not hard to do. And the RPM building process will yell at you for any failed dependencies, and you can then research the library specified and so some research to see what package you need to install to satisfy such dependencies. If you are going to go down this road, do not forget that you cannot build the RPMs as root. HTH, David Gomillion --- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.

[courier-users] Esmtp MAXRCPT Setting...
Anyone know if there is a limit to 100 to the MAXRCPT parameter in the module.esmpt configuration file ? I need to set it to 1000 or more but it doesn't work. My configuration is courier 0.45.4 + amavis-new 2.0 linux red-hat 8.0 kernel 2.4.20-24.8 Thank's.
[courier-users] Deliver to different users with same username but different aliased hostnames
Hello!
I am trying to consolidate multiple mail servers w/ assort MTAs to one
established mail serverr with Courier-MTA. Moving mail from mbox format
went beautifully with mb2mb, but now I have run into a stumper.
Since most of the machines I am conslidating were small user run systems,
there were a number of cases where bad usernames were chosen - joe, john
ect. As I consolidate it looks like there will be a number of overlapping
usernames. The main server has a good username policy, but I want to be
able to switch over mail delivery with minimal interrruption and without
my users having to send out a warning to all their contacts that their
email has changed, so I need to be able to re-reoute [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
I think the solution is to use maildrop with a filter but it looks like a
pretty steep learning curve on the maildrop filter scripting language.
Has any one run into a similar situation?
I thouht that it would be as simple as doing a .mailfilter that looked
like this:
if ( /^To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]/)
{
to /home/jsmith/Maildir
}
But when I test it as a .mailfilter in a testing account it appears that
since the user doesn't have write access to the other users Maildir it
just deffers delivery. (tried it with both suid and guid for maildrop)
I don't want to put it in maildroprc till i'm sure all is working
correctly for fear that I could mess up ALL my delivery ;)
Is there an easy way to bounce or otherwise redirect the mail?
something like
to | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
but I'm just not sure.
Thanks for any suggestions! Just trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel.

Have you looked into using aliases?
Add a file to /etc/courier/aliases with a line like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The substitution will happen at the beginning of the delivery and so
the message will go through all of the normal filtering that jsmith01
would get.

I have fam starting through xinetd, portmap is running and IMAP_ENHANCEDIDLE was even set to 0. The permissions seem to be just fine in the maildir. I even tried setting it to 777 as a test.

It's a popular fairy tale that the message's sender and recipient are
completely defined in the headers, such as From:, To:, or Cc:.
It would be a simple matter for me to send you a message with the To: header
set to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Furthermore, most of the spam in your
mailbox does not have your address explicitly listed as a recipient either.
So since it is painfully obvious that an arbitrary's message's recipient
address may not be necessarily found in its header, why exactly do you
belive that you can accomplish your goal of identifying the recipient, and
redirecting the message, by screwing around with its headers?
No, all you need to do is to define your aliases. See the makealiases man
page as a starting point.

Bowie ## Bowie, Martijn, I thought that would work, but once I was read up on it I wasn't sure. It seemed that I would need to use hosteddomains but it seemed like then you needed to be using a ldap or mySQL backend to handle it. If I put the new domains in hosteddomains and do the makehosted domains, can I then just drop a [EMAIL PROTECTED]: jsmith in /etc/courier/aliases/john, do a make aliases and it work? I have just tried it without using hosteddomains, just a domain I have in locals, and it definately did NOT work. David. -- David Ehle Computing Systems Manager CAPP CSRRI rm 077 LS Bld.
