Why not link it?
It seems like a better solution, I never have to edit that file.. Only hosteddomains..
And I made scripts for adding domain names to my server, bind settings, apache settings, user settings and now courier settings.. All it does is add the domain name to hsoteddomains

I am unable to connect to courier from outside my local network... I get a 550 error. I am also unable to send mail. Locally everything works.
I opened port 25 in my firewall.
Anything else that should be done? |

Whoops sorry. I get a 550 error when trying to send mail to a user from outside; e.g. from google mail
| Code: |
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 10): 550 5.7.1 Invalid recipient: '<user>@<foo>.com' |
(I edited out the username and domain.)
When trying to connect to the imap server from outside the local network using Outlook Express (yeah yeah I know it sucks, just for testing) it just says the connection to the server failed.
Sending mail locally to local users works, and checking mail inside the local network also works. So I think I need to open some more ports or something similar. |

| I think you need port 143 for imap and 110 for pop3 connections. |

Would like to thank Redeeman for the assist on this one...it was basically a typo which I found and a bad file which he found.
Very easy to understand howto
Problem arises though...
I can send outgoing mail through external software like outlook and oe (my potential users will use these most likely) but when I try sending from mutt I don't receive mail internal or externally.
I also can't get webadmin to work at all...I get the login screen and when I login (I did use the cooly little password file and set appropriate permissions for it) I get denied. Now if I set the user from mail to apache on the password file everything works, but any changes made in webadmin crap the bed. so UMMMMM what did I hose....

Does anyone know how to restrict imaptcpd to only accept connections from localhost? I'm running both courier imapd and imapd-ssl and I only want to use imapd for Squirrelmail which is running on the same box. I want to force all remote IMAP users to use imapd-ssl. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

You can block the incoming ports that you don't want to use.
I used vhosts and set up a mail.mydomain.com entry with a virtualhost *:993 for that subdomain. Then you set squirrel mail up to only ;isten on that domain and said port...you can disable all other ports in the .conf for SM.
Hope that helps a bit. |

Hallo @ all
fist of all: thanks a lot for this howto. It's just perfect!
But, im still having a question:
SpamAssassin and Antivir ar working. But if a mail is recognised as Spam, my virusscanners are not checking it anymore. It's delivered without a virus-check.
Does anybody know this problem?
Thanks for your tips
busa

i guess the problem is not amavisd-new but fetchmail. check your config (or crontab entries) for fetchmail. if you use the following
| Code: | | */10 * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail -a -s -m "/usr/bin/procmail -d \%T" |
your fetched mail will not be handed to postfix as per default but to procmail and hence bypass amavisd-new.
use
| Code: | | */10 * * * * /usr/bin/fetchmail -a -s" |
instead.

I finally managed to get courier running, and want to share issues as per march 2005:
In /var/lib/courier you should see sth like:
| Code: | ls /var/lib/courier
allfilters calendar faxtmp msgq sqwebmail.sock track
authdaemon couriersslcache filters msgs tmp webmail-logincache |
If you are missing msgs or other folders, see bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=82286 or emerge =mail-mta/courier-0.49.0
A test if authdaemon is working and local mail set up, use on our Gentoo system sth. like
| Code: | | "To: root" | /usr/sbin/sendmail |
A nice resource for courier is http://perlstalker.amigo.net/courier/ , the author runs a cluster of courier servers with Gentoo as load balancer. The FAQ adress 2 Gentoo specific problems (but none should apply to you if you followed redeemans howto).
Autlib's config moved to /etc/courier/authlib, if you create files in /etc/courier you will see no changes 
This also effects the webadmin module which will not work for "Password authentication modules". |

I just can't seem to figure out why I can't get courier to work. I had working once before and had to blow the system away cause a partion issue. And I decided to recompile the stage 1 with new cpus and memory. But now things don't work.
Buhaha can't connect to anything...can't get squirrelmail or sqwebmail to work...hmmmm argghhhhh

I am progressing through the production mail server howto...but...
Configuring courier
edit /etc/courier/authmysqlrc (This file doesnt exist!)
edit /etc/courier/authdaemonrc (This files doesnt exist!)
edit /etc/courier/aliases/system
edit /etc/courier/hosteddomains (This files doesnt exist!)
edit /etc/courier/smtpaccess/default
Now I can create this files and wing it. But say the authdaemnonrc refers to a part of the file, so assuming that it is actually there in the first place.
Have you got these files?

| If that happened, you probably emerged courier-imap before vpopmail... it needs to be vpopmail, courier-imap otherwise authdaemonrc (and the other missing friends) aren't created. |

I had some more problems, my router's DNS was causing errors with outgoing mail, it was saying DNS error - domain does not exist. Once this was disabled it all worked OK for outgoing mail...

Thanks for this guide... Got Courier up and running after a bit of messing with the database side of things. I suggest to all who are having problems logging on (as I was) to delete your "courier" database and go through the steps again. Very carefully!
3rd time lucky for me...

I think this should be added to the main how to.....
I added another domain, followed the instructions, but got a relaying error, as soon I did the above it worked fine....

To get the webmail working using this guide, you need to point to the following (replacing localhost with your servername):
http://localhost/courier/webmail
Or copy the webmail to the cgi-bin directory and:
http://localhost/cgi-bin/webmail
I could only get webadmin working using unsecureok |

I have run into a few issues with this setup... Mainly that sending mail to certain addresses gets bounced as spam. Seems to be only SORBS servers that bounce the mail because I have a dynamic IP.
So is there a way to get courier to check the destination address to see if it is local or not. If it's local then send as normal, if not local the send using my isp's smtp server? If the mail client just uses the isp's smtp server then local mail will still get delivered via the net and back rather than never leaving the local network...
