Hello there. I have a serious problem. I'm trying to make this setup on a debian etch (your perfect setup guide..) First of all I tried apt-get install ... but it seems like the courier-authmysql is renamed as another name, courier-libauth-mysql or something related. Then I tried the aptitude install wayish. This worked first time. Got the blue screen, (setup) and the install was happening. But when the install tries to setup courier-pop and pop-ssl, it comes with a failure. Code: Starting Courier POP3 server:bind: Address already in use ll_daemon_start: Resource temporarily unavailable invoke-rc.d: initscript courier-pop, action "start" failed. dpkg: fejl under behandling af courier-pop (--configure): underproces post-installation script returnerede afslutningsstatus 1 dpkg: afhængighedsproblemer forhindrer konfiguration af courier-pop-ssl: courier-pop-ssl afhænger af courier-pop, men: Pakken courier-pop er ikke sat op endnu. dpkg: fejl under behandling af courier-pop-ssl (--configure): afhængighedsproblemer - efterlader den ukonfigureret Der opstod fejl under behandlingen: courier-pop courier-pop-ssl * In english, this says that the courier-pop isn't configuret. I then tries apt-get install courier-pop courier-pop-ssl but this give me the same arror as above and this one. E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) My netstat -a -n says: Code: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:110 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:58160 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:113 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN And this is netstat -tap: Code: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost:mysql *:* LISTEN 2321/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:pop3 *:* LISTEN 30140/tcpserver tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 1949/portmap tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 30197/apache tcp 0 0 *:58160 *:* LISTEN 2804/rpc.statd tcp 0 0 *:auth *:* LISTEN 2631/inetd tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 13680/pure-ftpd (SE tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 19855/tcpserver tcp6 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 510/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:pop3s *:* LISTEN 5366/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 463/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 13680/pure-ftpd (SE tcp6 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 2743/sshd tcp6 0 1184 mail.my-domain.dk:ssh 0x55513f8c.adsl.c:10317 ESTABLISHED29433/0 I'm really lost right now, tried google but with no luck. Can/would anyone help my out, I hope the above information is good enough or else ask for more. Have a nice weekend. From Mikkel, Roskilde - Denmark
it seems like your are already running another pop3 server via inetd you possibly need to disable that before reconfiguring.
I'm not so deep into linux, could you tell me howto find that pop3 server. I found a Qmail device, but used apt-get remove to .. remove it. It's not my server, and the owner dosen't know which mailserver is running twice. Either do I. Give me a little clue please Thanks for quick answer.
Run Code: apt-get update and try to install Courier again. If that doesn't help - what's in /etc/apt/sources.list?
Well, I tried something else. Removed something called php-auth. After that, courier-pop and pop-ssl started to configuring. I think I am at the right path now, telnet localhost pop3 works now and the last chapter in the guide, about the list of 250's - this works also very nice. Thx for quick answers and a very well written guide. Hav a nice day.
