virtual users and domains with postfix courier mysql and squirrelmail ubuntu10.10

oooo.. ok.. ill try to install new server with other domain.. thanks

 

hi.. already install new server with new domain name(konyang.com).. still cant login..
just want to ask how to add a user for my squirrelmail? for example i want to add [email protected] as a user.. is it i have to use another computer for the new user?

 

You simply create a mail account as shown in the tutorial, send a welcome email to that account, and then you log into SquirrelMail with the email address and password.

 

still cannot login.. sorry for asking too many question.. Im new to ubuntu and still confuse with it.. Here is my mail log

so what was the problem? did i configure it wrong or im just have a problem with the user?

 

What's the output of

Code:

grep soli /etc/passwd

?
Can you post your /etc/postfix/main.cf?

 

when i typed that code,there was no output.

and this is my /etc/postfix/main.cf

Code:

What's in /etc/mailname?

 

Hi There , i have same problem after complete following link from you in How to setup virtual...

the error is i get this message " ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server " when try to login, and the last error message on /var/log/mail.log is :

May 31 02:45:06 idcmail imapd: Connection, ip=[::1]
May 31 02:45:06 idcmail authdaemond: authmysql: MYSQL_SERVER nor MYSQL_SOCKET set in/etc/courier/authmysqlrc.
May 31 02:45:06 idcmail imapd: LOGIN FAILED, [email protected], ip=[::1]
May 31 02:45:06 idcmail imapd: authentication error: Input/output error

any solution and advice will be greatfull,

Thanks and regard

 

this is my /etc/mailname.

Code:

kuku.konyang.com

 

Using the downloadable ISO....

I downloaded the VMWare ISO of this setup and wondered what the default passwords were that were used in setting up image?

Thanks
Dave

 

so falko, is there any solution for this IMAP problem?

 

It's probably an easy fix, but it is hard to tell from the distance what the problem is...

 

ermm... ok. Need to ask some question.. I already install the server.. also install Oracle VM Virtualbox for the webmail user purpose.. just want to know whether i'm doing a right things by install the virtualbox or i have to setup a new computer just for the one user?

I need atleast 2 user for my webmail.

another thing is ip address for my virtualbox is 10.0.2.15 and my server is 10.64.116.217.. Do i have to change the ipaddress on virtual box?

 

I downloaded the virtual machine Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 11.10) but got an error when unzipping it. I have tried a few times from different internet connections and always get the unzipping error. I would appreciate it if you could check and perhaps refresh the download image. Thanks.

Also, I downloaded the virtual machine image for Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 10.04). I have that running and can send but not receive emails. I changed the host name and have set up the server names through our internet provider, but still don't receive emails. Can you suggest what I should check? Thanks.

 

Does the MX record of your domain point to the correct server? Does your router forward port 25 to your server? Also please check if your ISP blocks port 25.

 

Falko,

I think that those settings are fine. I sent myself a message from gmail and could see it come through in mail.log, but it was not immediately delivered to my inbox. I am including below an excerpt from mail.log (I replaced my domain name with *--*). Does that provide any clues? The emails are now coming through from email, but not from our internal email server that is on the same subnet as the new mail server. So, it is working externally, but not internally. I set some pointer records that may help, but if you have any ohter thoughts, let me know. Thanks.

Does the internal email server use the same domains? I guess that when you send a mail from the internal email server, it doesn't leave that server because it feels responsible for the domain.
