Ok I went for this one. first install I came across a problem on page 2 http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_p2 /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf: /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf: /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf: /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_email2email.cf: /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_transports.cf: /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf: I dont have the above file's so where did I go wrong, is there a way to check to see if I've install every thing ok up to the stage 4 Configure Postfix TT
I got as far as restart Postfix http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_p3 I get the error Code: Stopping mail transport agent: Postfix. Starting mail transport agent: Postfixpostconf: fatal: /etc/postfix/main.cf, lin e 50: missing '=' after attribute name: "amavis unix - - - - 2 smtp -o sm tp_data_done_timeout=1200 -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes" postconf: fatal: /etc/postfix/main.cf, line 50: missing '=' after attribute name : "amavis unix - - - - 2 smtp -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200 -o sm tp_send_xforward_command=yes" before this I have this message come up after clamav-daemon restart Code: Stopping ClamAV daemon: clamd Starting ClamAV daemon: LibClamAV Warning: ************************************* ******************* LibClamAV Warning: *** This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated. *** LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC!

I've still got the error Also telnet hang's when I run the command telnet localhost 25 do you need to allow ports 25 and 110 to be open TT
which config file do you mean, I'm trying to back track to see where I went wrong, sorry for the delay TT
thanks for picking that up I've started again one question please Then edit /etc/courier/authmysqlrc. It should look like this (again, make sure to fill in the correct database details): Code: MYSQL_SERVER localhost MYSQL_USERNAME mail_admin MYSQL_PASSWORD mail_admin_password MYSQL_PORT 0 MYSQL_DATABASE mail MYSQL_USER_TABLE users MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD password #MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD password MYSQL_UID_FIELD 5000 MYSQL_GID_FIELD 5000 MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD email MYSQL_HOME_FIELD "/home/vmail" MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') #MYSQL_NAME_FIELD MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD quota Do I have to have my password in etc etc if you get what I mean One thing I wasn't sure of was to add my details to this as well and so on, by editing the correct lines user and password /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_domains.cf: TT
I filled out the lines needed, hoping it was the right thing to do. but now i come across other error my apt-get doesn't have mirror-select Code: apt-get install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamav-daemon zoo unzip unarj bzip2 Reading Package Lists...

TT
I think I fix it by typing in the below command, Code: apt-get install amavisd-new spamassassin clamav clamav-daemon zoo unzip unarj bzip2 --fix-missing No it didn't work, I'm missing the file amavisd.conf TT
This time I went for a fresh install double checking every thing a picking a good mirror. This time I think I got it going. I'm able to use hotmail to send to server and able to send from server to hotmail ok, I can even send mail localy. I think I fluked it. Question when adding a new user to the system is the mail box created or do you have to send mail to the new user for it to create the mail box. TT
yep that worked ok, COOL Is there a GUI web interface for users to log into there email account via browser that will install to this config I've jsut gone though O any one read the mail via Outlook express TT
You could install Squireelmail (quite easy I think) or Horde/IMP (never achieved that to get run) or some other webmail
See what I was doing was installing another server, so I shut one down and restarted the tutorial again, I have every thing running again with the same problem, I'm not able to use XP Outlook Express or Mozilla client from my FC5 OS to conntect to read mail I have sent using Outlook and Mozilla. I have my ports open 25, 110 only way I can use the mail is log in via shell and use MUTT I added a user using the command adduser newuser, is that the correct way I sent an email to that user using Outlook Express, mail arrives for that user ok. I was wondering if a web mail would work, so I could check the users account I created. So you think Squireemail would work with out mucking up what I've done so far TT
when adding users in, should I add them in using the mysql as in step 11 Populate The Database And Test http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_p5 Could some one give me a sample of what they have done, I cant help think thats what my problem is. TT
I was able to install SqWebMail ok I run the address or URL is says to, enter my user name with full address and password only to get this is what I put into the MySQL database users Code: INSERT INTO `domains` (`domain`) VALUES ('rockinghamgateway.com'); INSERT INTO `users` (`email`, `password`, `quota`) VALUES ('[email protected]', ENCRYPT('my_password'), 10485760); INSERT INTO `forwardings` (`source`, `destination`) VALUES ('[email protected]', '[email protected]'); INSERT INTO `transport` (`domain`, `transport`) VALUES ('rockinghamgateway.com', 'smtp:mail.rockinghamgateway.com'); does this look right TT
