    Hi ALL,
    Centos 6 + sendmail + dovecot:
    I send from my machine X using squirrelmail to a certain mail address out,
    I receive, no spam... perfect so I reply and the email go to my machine X
    I am sure that go to destination because SIMPLY is in /var/spool/email/USER on my machine X BUT the question:
    I can't read the email :(:
    - with squirrelmail on server machine X
    - with my evolution in my home (note that I think that I successful log in with ssl and tls because if I use plain text is impossible)
    suggestions?
    thx

    RESOLVED Centos 6 X86 64bit + sendmail + dovecot + squirrelmail

    Hi ALL,
    hope that can be user full for some newbie like me:
    Centos 6 + sendmail + dovecot + Squirrelmail:
    very simple to install the first three with Yum,
    for squirrelmail is needed modify the repos by add:
    epel.repo
    Code:
    rpm -Uvh http://bit.ly/q7kHBq
    yum repolist
    yum install yum-priorities
    
    modify with priority=10 /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo:
    Code:
    [epel]
    name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch
    #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
    mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch
    failovermethod=priority
    enabled=1
    gpgcheck=1
    gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
    
    [epel-debuginfo]
    name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch - Debug
    #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch/debug
    mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-debug-6&arch=$basearch
    failovermethod=priority
    enabled=0
    gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
    gpgcheck=1
    
    [epel-source]
    name=Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 6 - $basearch - Source
    #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/SRPMS
    mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-source-6&arch=$basearch
    failovermethod=priority
    enabled=0
    gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-EPEL-6
    gpgcheck=1
    
    priority=10
    
    
    (I've safetly disable after install squirrel)

    in sendmail is needed install sendmail.cf to MAKE compiled
    Code:
    yum install sendmail-cf
    hack sendmail.mc
    Code:
    dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback address
    dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices. Remove the loopback
    dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet.
    DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
    TO:
    dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback address
    dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices. Remove the loopback
    dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet.
    dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl
    
    and after compile with sendmail.cf
    Code:
    /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
    in dovecot is needed modify/DE-comment the 2th option/mail_location in:
    /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf
    Code:
    FROM:
    #   mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
    #   mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
    #   mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%n
    TO:
    #   mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
    mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
    #   mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/%d/%1n/%n:INDEX=/var/indexes/%d/%1n/%n
    remeber to set yours squirrelmail:
