I followed the guide located here: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier except for a few places where files were in different places etc. I am now able to authenticate and login, and see my inbox, however, emails don't appear to be going through. I have no idea what to do now. I also found out that I had to use ./maildirmake /home/vmail/domain.com/user chown -R vmail:vmail /home/vmail/domain.com/user If there are files or info you need let me know and I'll post it. I also get a few errors about "Unable to connect to your IMAP server. You may have exceeded the maximum number of connections to this server." (Mozilla Thunderbird on Windows). Anyone of upping the connection limit? -Brandon
Please check your mail log. Maildir is created automatically once the first email arrives. Which distribution are you using?
Thanks Well thanks for letting me know about the maildir being created. I however had to create it because when I logged into IMAP I just got an error about the maildir not existing. I am using the most recent version of CentOS 64bit, based off RHEL as you probably know. Not sure if it helps, but I just copied 4 emails to my inbox using thunderbird, marked them as unread, then checked my email with http://pingability.com/ and they show up. Would I need to setup a mx record or something for imap? And Code: [root]~ # netstat -tulp Active Internet connections (only servers) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 16965/mysqld tcp 0 0 cl-t112-271cl.privated:pop3 *:* LISTEN 17163/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 cl-t112-271cl.privated:imap *:* LISTEN 17564/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 cl-t112-271cl.privated:http *:* LISTEN 16603/httpd tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 32568/proftpd: (acc tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 2258/master tcp 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 32744/sshd And I have ADDRESS set in my imapd file to my server's ip address. Courier imap is installed to /usr/lib/courier-imap/ And I have SELinux enabled, and would prefer to leave it that way, but if I must I can disable it, also, my /var/log/debug and /var/log/maillog files are empty (I cleared them after I fixed the last problem).
Make sure that the MX records for your domains point to your server. You should turn it off, at least until you get everything working (so that we can rule out SELinux as a source of errors). Afterwards you can try to enable it again.
I just got the rest of my server features working, apache, postfix, mysql, etc. I also reinstall courier, and I got it to authenticate against a mysql database properly. Like I had before, I can see emails I manually transfer, AND I receive local mail. Just no emails from the outside. SELinux and the native firewall is disabled My SQL usertable looks like this: Code: email home password passwordcrypt quota [email protected] /home/vmail <password_md5> <password_crypt> 10485760 Configuration Files: /usr/lib/courier-imap/imapd http://www.sabotix.com/imapd.txt /usr/local/etc/authlib/authdaemonrc http://www.sabotix.com/authdaemonrc.txt /usr/local/etc/authlib/authmysqlrc http://www.sabotix.com/authmysqlrc.txt Earlier when I tried sending with gmail I received an email a day later saying this: DNS Error: DNS server returned answer with no data I've reinstall courier since then, but it may still be the problem
Assuming sabotix.com is your domain, I just was able to lookup your DNS (A-record x.x.11.102) and (manually) send you an email. There was no problem, not with DNS, not with sending the mail. Did it arrive? Paul
Yeah, it was a problem with my a record. I just had added it properly. I had @ and I put sabotix.com instead and it works fine. Got your mail. Thanks
