    Hi

    I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 and ispc3.

    I've set up a number of domains so that I can play around with ispc3

    1. POP3 mail problem, Outlook says the server is interupting and it fails to retrieve.

    I had a look at the pop3d set up and changed
    root directory\etc\courier\pop3d
    ##NAME: MAXPERIP:4
    #
    # Maximum number of connections to accept from the same IP address

    MAXPERIP=16

    in the mail log I see

    May 5 13:53:44 dell last message repeated 12 times
    May 5 13:58:44 dell pop3d: Maximum connection limit reached for ::ffff:216.118.146.240
    May 5 13:58:44 dell last message repeated 12 times
    May 5 14:02:44 dell pop3d: Maximum connection limit reached for ::ffff:216.118.146.240
    May 5 14:03:45 dell last message repeated 12 times
    May 5 14:03:46 dell last message repeated 11 times
    May 5 14:08:46 dell pop3d: Maximum connection limit reached for ::ffff:216.118.146.240
    May 5 14:08:46 dell last message repeated 12 times

    I then restarted the server
    IT has made no difference

    Problem 2

    For some reason I can't resolve any www. prefixes apart from my first domain. They are all registared the same way in the records.
    when I enter http://domain.xyz they work, but when I enter www.domain.xyz they default to one of the other domains.
    I 'm running as far as I know a names based setup they are all "*" not ip
    I had some problems with webmail previously and had to put a link into each web folder for it to work - Till recomended it

    My first domain works fine

    You should use Courier, not pop3d. Which guide did you use to set up the system?

    Did you create a Co-Domain for these webs with www as the hostname?

    Hi Falko

    Email Problem
    I followed the ubuntu 8.10 ispc3 guide.
    It was running ok for a week or so until I added a few domains.
    As far as I know I am running Courier - errr how can I be sure ?
    I'm sure I haven't changed any email settings.


    Http problem.
    I changed the auto subdomain for all the sites to www. on the "sites" panel
    All seems to work ok resolving "www" now. :)
    It may be a daft question but what is a Co Domain

    many thanks

    James

    Co - Domain
    If your talking about the bits in the dns panel

    I added
    www. 192...local ip of web server A record
    mail. " "
    domainname.ext. " "
    ftp. " "
    ns1. " "
    domainname.ext mail.domanname.ext MX record
    domainname.ext ns1.domainname.ext NS "

    I had a look at the monitor panel, I probably should have done that at the start.

    Its showing my pop 3 server is down DOOOH

    I tried restarting it and it came up with an error - command not found line 15

    So I had a look at the pop3d file,
    Depending on how it counts lines
    line 15 = PIDFILE=/var/run/courier/pop3d.pid

    and that file is missing

    I think its just the process id
    can I make a file called pop3d.pid and insert the process id - I don't know what number to give it

    Please try to restart Courier. you can find the init scripts in the /etc/init.d directory.

    hi

    I tried /etc/init.d/courier-pop and recieved error line 15
    root@dell:/home/jaisol# /etc/init.d/courier-pop restart
    : command not found line 15:

    I restarted the machine as well, the courier-ssl bit worked, but it still failed on courier-pop
    with the same error.

    I took a look at the script and I'm trying to figure out what is line 15 - not sure how they count lines, are comments and blanks counted or not.
    Below is the start up script courier-pop



    #! /bin/sh -e
    ### BEGIN INIT INFO
    # Short-Description: Courier POP3 server
    # Provides: courier-pop
    # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog
    # Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog
    # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
    # Default-Stop: 0 1 6
    # Description: courier-pop is an POP3 Mail Delivery Agent.
    ### END INIT INFO

    prefix="/usr"
    exec_prefix=${prefix}
    sysconfdir="/etc/courier"
    sbindir="${exec_prefix}/sbin"
    libexecdir="${prefix}/lib/courier"
    run_dir="/var/run/courier"
    calendar_dir="/var/run/courier/calendar"
    TCPD="${sbindir}/couriertcpd"
    DAEMON=${sbindir}/pop3d
    PROGRAM="Courier POP3 server"
    PROG="pop3d"
    SSLCONFIG=

    test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

    . /lib/lsb/init-functions

    if [ ! -d ${run_dir} ]; then
    mkdir -p ${run_dir}
    chown daemon:daemon ${run_dir}
    fi

    if [ ! -d ${calendar_dir} ]; then
    mkdir -p ${calendar_dir}
    chown daemon:daemon ${calendar_dir}
    fi



    if ! [ -x $TCPD ]; then
    log_failure_msg "ERR: $TCPD missing"
    exit 1
    fi
    .......

    Please make sure that the script contains Unix linebreaks, not Windows linebreaks.

    Thank You for your help

    F..ing windows.... It was the line breaks, every blank line in the etc/courier/pop3d file.

    Every time I restarted it I go another bad command error, finaly it came up OK on restart but wouldn't show up as on line on the monitor.... AHHGGG
    Came up ^M invalid ip address ^M in the logs, that turned out to be the line break at the end of the address= line...

    Just hoping thats all of them,

    Many thanks again, problem solved

    James
