Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 8.10)

I hope this thread doesn't exist already.

I just followed the tutorial and some hours of googling later I am even able to login to squirrelmail and send mails.

Unfortunately I cannot receive mails

I created an account at dyndns.com (say: myacc.webhop.net) and pointed it to my machines IP address. This obviously does work since I can access squirrelmail via myacc.webhop.net/squirrelmail

When I try to send a mail to [email protected] the mail does not show up in squirrelmail.

Any suggestions?

Many thanks in advance!

 

Okay dudes, problem solved

I opened port 25 in my router.
After doing this mails sent to [email protected] got boounced back. I found the following error in my mail.log:

Dec 4 18:32:00 blabla postfix/trivial-rewrite[6816]: warning: do not list domain myacc.webhop.net in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains

To solve this problem I did the following:

postconf -e 'mydestination = localhost, localhost.localdomain'

Now I am able to send and retreive mail on my own mailserver... whooohooo!

 

I prefer not to open a new thread related to the same how-to...

During my test I found out two troubles.

The first one is quota related: I set up a 10485760 default quota as described into the how-to, and all the testing users have got this quota. But I'm receiving lots of attachments that increase my inbox up to 18045000 and over...
What to check?

The second problem is Apache related. I didn't change anything of the original preferences but the ones asked in the how-to. I'm able to connect to Squirrelmail within the same subnet of the Ubuntu machine (192.168.10.x). I'm able to connect to Squirrelmail even from 192.168.1.x (the Ubuntu machine is into a DMZ). But I can connect neither to Squirrelmail nor Apache homepage from outside... even if I can reach all the other services (SMTP, POP3, IMAP4).

Thanks in advance!

 

Any errors in your mail log?

Please make sure that your ISP doesn't block port 80.

 

After a few days of testing... I get no error, it seems like there's no size limit...
I checked /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf and I see no error. The quota set in the SQL table is 10485760.
This is the mailbox:

P.S.: For the other problem, pfSense was not properly configured to allow connection between different subnet.

 

What do you see in the mail log when you send another big mail to that account?

 

I sent a new mail with a 6MB pdf attached.
This is the mail.log:

Thank you so much!

 

That's all? Nothing else?

Did you see any errors when you compiled Postfix with the quota patch?

 

I only saw:

Code:

dpkg-buildpackage: warning: Failed to sign .dsc and .changes file

 

I'd try to rebuild the Postfix package again. Maybe something went wrong the first time.
Make sure that the quota patch applies without errors.

 

I rebuilt the package with no errors but it seems it continues working as the previous package. Since this is a testing machine I think I will start from scratch.

P.S.: Do you think that I will able to use this plugin using your settings?

 

Not sure. But this software seems to be based on SquirrelMail, so at least it's possible.

 

I am able to send mail out to a outside address but I can not receive any mail. This is from the mail log on an attempt to send mail from one user to another. User2 is both a virtual user (email) and a real user on eoins01. User1 is just a virtual user for email. As it wont receive mail it did not create mail file's I created them manually, at which point both suirrelmail and evoultion will allow me to send mail. Both also act as if they are checking for new mail. The fconnection refused error's always seem contains the servers hostname.mydomain.com along with its real world IP address.

but

Error that the service does not automatically creates a directory. Made for example. Where is wrong?

 

This does not work. If user2 is a system user, then all emails will go to that account instead of the virtual user2 account.

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

 

Did you send a welcome email to that account?

 

The problem is not created automatic in the directory /home/vmail
When I made the directory manually squirrelmail wrote the following error:

Everything done according to instructions.
I have 2 network cards. One real IP, and the other virtual.

 

The directory is created automatically when the first email arrives - therefore my question.

 

and nothing.

 

What's in the mail log when you send such a mail?
