Hi marpada, Thanks for your advice. I have been following 3 howto building mail server running postfix virtual and mysql. After finish none of the server can work properly. Now I'm making the 4th round by following; http://www.postfixvirtual.net/postfixvirtual.html#postfix This howto requires building all relevant packages from source. That is the background story. It also requires "Download all software into /usr/local/src folder" (see requirement). # ls -ld /usr/local Code: drwxrwsr-x 10 root staff 4096 Oct 26 09:50 /usr/local # ls -ld /usr/local/src Code: drwxrwsr-x 2 root staff 4096 Oct 26 09:50 /usr/local/src User other than root can't work on these folders/directories. How to solve the problem? Change all of them to "satimis:satimis"? Or create "wheel" on /etc/ground and add "staff, root and satimis" on wheel group? Any advice? TIA B.R. satimis
I think this howto (the link) is for *bsd. I don't see any reason to build all this from source. Look for postfix on linux howto. (there is a whole category here at howtoforge)
Hi martien, I built one of the 3 mail servers mentioned by following a howto on howtoforge still having unsolved problem. Fortunately I built all of them as domU (guest) on a Xen box. It is easy for me to manage. I already started the 4th mail server following the howto mentioned on my last posting. It is almost finished. I'm now stuck on installing courier-imap. I'm now allowed to compile it as root. I'm still struggling. Otherwise I'll extract/compile/install it on /tmp I did quite a lot installing packages from source when I built my own Linux dist., LinuxFromScratch, 3~4 years ago. It is not a difficult problem to me. Also I ran OpenBSD and FreeBSD quite sometimes. B.R. satimis
