RE: Newbie Remote manager problem

OK, I'm not sure why, but it's working now. I didn't change anything, I just restarted james. I suspect that I needed to stop/restart james between the time I originally edited the user and when I successfully edited the user. Why? I don't know, but that's literally the only thing I did, and now it works. I still can't get rid of the one gibbled user, but as this is my first install I will work out all the other details, then flush james completely, and reinstall again.

Currently I can receive mail, but not send it. I am playing around with the smtp config, so hopefully will work it out soon.

Subject: Newbie Remote manager problem
Date: Tue, 03 May 2005 14:06:38 -0300

Sorry for the newbie question. I'm new to mail servers.

I've installed and am running james on server 2003. From xp I am trying to send mail through outlook express to another user through james. From what I can tell, the message is being sent, but I am not getting authenticated in the james mail server.

I had added the user in Remote Manager:

adduser bobs youruncle

When I had the authentication problem, I thought that perhaps the user was not properly added. So I went back into Remote Manager and entered:

edituser bobs

I got a message which said 'bobs does not exist'. So I tried deleting the user:

deluser bobs

Again I got a message saying that bobs does not exist. So I listed the users:

listusers

This gave me a list of users, of which bobs is one. In other words, listuser is telling me that the user exists, but I am not able to delete or edit the user using the user's name.

I'm thinking this is something simple, but cannot find any documentation for Remote Manager at all, nor any mention of anyone else having a similar problem. I'm thinking that if it cannot find 'bobs', then this explains why it is not authenticating.

Could this have something to do with the domain setup in James? I'm not certain that I have the domain set up correctly. I would have thought that no matter how screwed up my domain setup was in config.xml, that Remote Manager, operating locally, should still be able to see and access the account.

Any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks.
