Hi there. I have run through this Howto, and at the end result I get the following error from squirrelmail. Code: Error connecting to IMAP server: tls://localhost. 0 : It is happening before any authentication is done because I've put bogus details in and get the same result. I've done everything according to the HowTo, and sent the Welcome email with mailx. This didn't work :/ I tried to send an email to my gmail from mailx but no luck. Could that be a clue? Squirrelmail configtest shows this at the end Code: Checking outgoing mail service.... SMTP server OK (220 server1.example.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)) Checking IMAP service.... ERROR: Error connecting to IMAP server "localhost:143".Server error: (0) So there is definitely something wrong with courier-imap Code: doles@server1:~$ sudo netstat -tap [sudo] password for doles: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 3685/apache2 tcp 0 0 *:cisco-sccp *:* LISTEN 3535/asterisk tcp 0 0 *:32112 *:* LISTEN 1209/sshd tcp 0 0 *:x11-1 *:* LISTEN 3893/Xvnc4 tcp 0 0 *:x11-2 *:* LISTEN 3949/Xvnc4 tcp 0 0 localhost:domain *:* LISTEN 2896/dnsmasq tcp 0 0 server1:domain *:* LISTEN 2896/dnsmasq tcp 0 0 localhost:ipp *:* LISTEN 3627/cupsd tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 19029/master tcp 0 0 *:microsoft-ds *:* LISTEN 566/smbd tcp 0 0 localhost:imaps *:* LISTEN 17671/couriertcpd tcp 0 0 *:nfs *:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 *:4002 *:* LISTEN 3401/rpc.mountd tcp 0 0 localhost:10024 *:* LISTEN 17891/amavisd (mast tcp 0 0 localhost:10025 *:* LISTEN 19029/master tcp 0 0 *:33641 *:* LISTEN - tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 1246/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:netbios-ssn *:* LISTEN 566/smbd tcp 0 0 *:57772 *:* LISTEN 1249/rpc.statd tcp 0 0 localhost:5038 *:* LISTEN 3535/asterisk tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 1220/portmap tcp6 0 0 localhost:domain [::]:* LISTEN 2896/dnsmasq tcp6 0 0 fe80::219:d1ff:f:domain [::]:* LISTEN 2896/dnsmasq tcp6 0 0 localhost:ipp [::]:* LISTEN 3627/cupsd tcp6 0 0 [::]:smtp [::]:* LISTEN 19029/master tcp6 0 0 [::]:pop3s [::]:* LISTEN 17733/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 [::]:5900 [::]:* LISTEN 3953/vino-server tcp6 0 0 [::]:5901 [::]:* LISTEN 3893/Xvnc4 tcp6 0 0 [::]:pop3 [::]:* LISTEN 17700/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 [::]:5902 [::]:* LISTEN 3949/Xvnc4 tcp6 0 0 [::]:imap2 [::]:* LISTEN 19371/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 server1:5901 192.168.0.139%150:34759 ESTABLISHED 3893/Xvnc4 Any ideas? I've tried dovecot as a replacement, but got a different error, still IMAP related but error:111. I'm unsure how to set up dovecot to replace courier like this Thanks for any help
Yes, you're right. What about the ones that say Code: localhost:imaps and Code: [::]:imap2 Are one of those 143?
Code: tcp6 0 0 :::143 :::* LISTEN 19371/couriertcpd Still on ivp6. I'm not quite sure why that would cause it to not work. And how do I fix this?
Code: doles@server1:~$ sudo telnet localhost 143 Trying ::1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2008 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. login [email protected] login NO Error in IMAP command received by server. Connection closed by foreign host. does this give any clues?
well it runs .. and ofc, i forgot ::1 .. if it's ipv4 it'll forward it to ipv6 so that's no problem. Let's put it this way: If you followed the how-to here on how-to-forge by the letter, everything WILL work .. so i'm thinking you forgot a step, made a typo or made custom changes to the installation. So i suggest you run through the how to one more time
Ah yes, thanks mark, I ran through the howto again and now have it working. I'm not sure what the typo was, but It was a typo or a misunderstanding. Anyway, all good now. I can pass local mail from users on the mail server, but can't send or receive to gmail, and I can send to my ISP mail, but not receive from it. Anyway, I think it has something to do with MX records or something for me to figure out myself. Thanks for your help
haha good news you're a step closer to getting this thing up and running also check if you have authentication ON when you want to send mail through your mailserver. good luck!
