Hello, I installed cyrus-imapd, cyrus-imapd-devel, cyrus-imapd-utils, cyrus-sasl-devel, cyrus-sasl-gssapi, cyrus-sasl-plain. I've tested the Cyrus Server by: Code: [root@server1 ~]# imtest WARNING: no hostname supplied, assuming localhost S: * OK server1.mydomain.tld Cyrus IMAP4 v2.2.12-Invoca-RPM-2.2.12-3.RHEL4.1 server ready C: C01 CAPABILITY S: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 ACL QUOTA LITERAL+ MAILBOX-REFERRALS NAMESPACE UIDPLUS ID NO_ATOMIC_RENAME UNSELECT CHILDREN MULTIAPPEND BINARY SORT THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES ANNOTATEMORE IDLE STARTTLS LISTEXT LIST-SUBSCRIBED X-NETSCAPE S: C01 OK Completed Please enter your password: [root@server1 ~]# service cyrus-imapd status cyrus-master (pid 2558) is running... Postfix is running too: Code: [root@server1 ssl]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 server1.mydomain.tld ESMTP Postfix ehlo localhost 250-server1.mydomain.tld 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN 250 8BITMIME quit 221 Bye Connection closed by foreign host.[root@server1 ssl]# So, i'm very happy about that... but what NOW! How do i use these daemons? Can i send email to e.g. [email protected] or do i first have to create a new user with its own directory in /home. I keep getting "premission denied" in cyradm: Code: [root@server1 ~]# cyradm localhost IMAP Password: server1.mydomain.tld> createmailbox user john createmailbox: Permission denied server1.mydomain.tld> I seem to have some trouble grasping what the hell Cyrus, Fetchmail and Postfix is doing and how i can use this. I tried connecting with Thunderbird to ... whatever was out there, but this did nothing. no surprise there, sins i did not configure an account... you see, i don't know what to do next. I'd like to create my own emailaccount on www.mydomain.tld to test it, before i start installing ISPConfig. I have to know how this stuff works, because i want to know... i NEED to know. I've done most part of Perfect Setup Fedora Core 4... except where the distro's slightly differ from eachother. I've read a lot of Cyrus docs and FAQ, but i couldn't find any good moron-proof tut, telling not only how to config the daemon but how to create accounts which can be used in a mailclient like Mozilla TB or Outlook Ex. Many thanks
