Hi Jeff,
I'm a new user of XMail, just built it a few days ago (for my Linux box). I
used your Beginner's Guide to help me through the process. I think that I've
got it running now, but I'm not actively connecting to the outside world yet.
Still using my old Windows mail server, VPOP3 (for the time being).
I ran into an interesting set of problems when I followed (I believe) your
previous guide step by step. When trying to create a new user as described
in the tail end of section two, I kept getting error messages that said that
something could not be created. I did a fair amount of poking into the
source, and discovered that XMail as set up per your instructions, seems to
need to have the <mydomain.org> directory created under the domains
directory. The 'mkdir' call doesn't appear to be able to create multiple
directory levels in a single call. Once I manually created the mydomain.org
directory, all of the instructions seemed to work.
I was going to send a message to you earlier, but it escaped, until I saw your
post about the new updated guide. Maybe this was a simple reading error on my
part, don't know, but it caused some unhappiness for a short bit.
Later,
johnbo
