Hi, I'm a newbie to email servers, so I decided to try out this tutorial earlier: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier_ubuntu_edgy I didn't have any problems during setup, but when I tried to download a test email in Thunderbird, I got an error saying "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.upou.edu.ph responded: Temporary problem, please try again later." Any ideas on what went wrong? Thanks in advance!
Ok. I'll be the first one to call myself a fool. I made a wrong configuration in one of the files. However, I'm still getting an error. It's slightly different though: "Sending of password did not succeed. Mail server mail.upou.edu.ph responded: chdir upou.edu.ph/jtolentino failed" Is this a permissions problem?
Here's the output of: ls -la /home/vmail drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 2007-06-16 18:15 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2007-06-16 18:10 .. -rwxr-xr-x 1 vmail vmail 220 2007-06-15 17:30 .bash_logout -rwxr-xr-x 1 vmail vmail 414 2007-06-15 17:30 .bash_profile -rwxr-xr-x 1 vmail vmail 2227 2007-06-15 17:30 .bashrc drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 2007-06-16 18:15 upou.edu.ph ============= I figured out a few more things, so I created a upou.edu.ph folder (that's our domain name). Then I went in that folder, and ran: maildirmake my_username After that, I could receive emails, but not send. I think it's off-topic though so I'll just start a new thread. Thanks for all the help!
