Not able to collect Maildir mail
New install Everything and updated
Slackware 13.37 Right now it's running on sendmail/mbox. Not able to collect email in Maildir location from client machines. I was requested for more detail of the problem I'm having since everyone thought I could not read email while logged into the Linux box. Hopefully this explains the problem a little better of what I have been trying to get working. I have installed netqmail, postfix and tried to setup sendmail for Maildir. I even tried Courier. It would compile fine and Auth installed with out error then Courier would compile fine and make did fine also but error's out during make check. No I was not logged in as root like it said. Every time have had to revert back to sendmail and mbox. checkpassword would try and exit even with the shadow password patch applied. I prefer postfix since I have used that for near 10 years in past business. My server now does not do a lot these days, mostly a few web pages and a few email accounts. Just don't care for sendmail mbox. I was even hoping if there was a way to run email out of MySQL and do away with all the problems. With the shadow patch in checkpassword the logs showed this when a machine tried to collect email that was in the Maildir. Code:
@400000004ebff2b830f472a4 tcpserver: pid 2815 from 192.168.4.3 mutt says the mail is there but I am unable to receive mail on any machines. I tried mail clients like IE, Windows Live My default delivery was set to Maildir (cur, new, tmp sub-directories). The messages sent from other machines are sitting in the right User Mail boxes : ie. in Maildir/new. But the same are not accessible from Client machines. I feel that the client is unable to search for the mail at the right Place because something is still checking mbox but have not been able to find this problem with anyone else. |
