Grrr... courier-imap

element · 02-08-2004, 08:03 AM

I had uw-imap running fine, but I wanted to switch to courier-imap and maildir format.
Now, everything seems configured properly and works, but I can only receive mail from the server, so only local mail. If I try to send a message from another account using my ISP I don't receive the mail. Sending works flawlessly. I just can't get any email from outside.

Tested exim.conf and it works, I didn't change my .fetchmailrc, so I have no idea what the solution is.
Can someone help me?

What did you do to change to maildir format? How did you test the exim.conf? Using exim or exim4? Have you checked your syslog to see if the fetchmail gets those mails and /var/log/exim(4?)/mainlog on how your mta reacts to the incoming connection from fetchmail? Does the username@localhost address work?

username@localhost works
I want to be able to read my mail from my ISP from anywhere I want, that's why I set up imap. If I send a mail with:

Code:

bash$ mail -s"This is a test message" "username"

This works, but when I try to send a mail with username@ISPdomainname.com from a mail client, it doesn't work.

Please don't post the same question in more than one location.
