    I am on page 5 of the Perfect server HowTo and when I get to the step

    Run this to install Courier-IMAP/Courier-IMAP-SSL (for IMAPs on port 993) and Courier-POP3/Courier-POP3-SSL (for POP3s on port 995):
    I get a failure message saying
    Any thoughts or workarounds that I could use? I tried just not choosing the authdaemon package but none of the other courier packages will work either.

    Just for background purposes I am an expert in Windows but a total novice in Linux so dont be afraid to spell something out or talk to me like im in first grade because as far as Linux servers are concerned I am in first grade.


    Thanks for all your help!

    What's in the file
    Code:
    /etc/apt/sources.list

    sources.list contains

    I just tried uncommenting all the sources and then rebooting but got the same error message.

    Courier resides in the universe repository. Uncomment (remove the # sign) of the lines with universe (4 lines). Then retry.

    Execute
    Code:
    apt-get update && apt-get upgrade
    after uncommenting. Rebooting has no effect whatsoever. It's not sw from Redm....

    I've got another question about the server. I can send email just fine but I cant seem to access email. When I send it to the address it does not kick back instantly which it did before I fixed my mx record but I get an error involving sending the password.

    I know this is just a setting in a file but im stuck.

    Thanks

    Did you configure Postfix to deliver emails to Maildir instead of mbox?

    I have run the following commands
    I tried to check mail before and after I ran those commands and neither worked.

    I thought at first mail was not failing but I had a dns registration error so it was waiting a long time before sending the failures but now if I send an email to my domain it immediately comes back with a failure

    When I try to check the mail on the linux server I get the Unable to connect to POP server server.*****.com Error sending password: Broken pipe

    ***** is in place of my domain



    Edit

    found this post

    it solved my problems

    for now... :)
