please help me to fix this problem

Qmail is an smtp server, not an IMAP server - if you want to use squirrelmail you will need to install an IMAP server.

yep IMAP worked with qmail

Do you mean it is working now?

not working

Have you installed an IMAP server yet?

yes it is installed and tell you what in the start qmail was working fine, users send and receving emails. However from few days every user getting the error and qmail is not working anymore

check the instruction on this www.qmailrocks.org

Let me rephrase my question again. Since Qmail is an SMTP server and not an IMAP server what are you using to perform the IMAP server functions on your system?

Hi,

Since this thread is on Qmail / IMAP / SquirrelMail. I just hv the following issue to add:

OS: Redhat 9

Qmail -> just installed a few days ago
with Checkpassword patched and working, as per instructions found in lifewithqmail website.

Able to download emails via POP email client I am using: Thunderbird 0.5

then, following instructions found in qmailrocks.org, I figure out squirrelmail may be a pretty useful web interface for mail checking, so I installed Vpopmail, Courier-imap, Courierpassd, SquirrelMail, plug-in for Courierpassd for use in SquirrelMail.


When that is setup and running, able to log in/out of SquirrelMail, able to send/receive emails. But when attempting to change password: receives the following error message:


--> 500 Restricted or non-existant uid.


But if I enter a wrong password (delibrately) the following message:


Your old password is not correct.



one thing I noticed which was not consistent with the instructions that I followed was that when I 'telnet localhost 106' on the server

user name@mydomain.com
pass 123

didn't not work
whileas

user name_alone
pass 123

works. therefore it occurs to me that my "mydomain.com" was not properly entered somewhere? this might or might not have a implication or relation to the password problem I am facing above. I am interested to solve the password change issue, but suspects that the "mydomain.com" issue may have some relations to the matter.

Some expert's advise on likely sources of error most appreciated. Thanks.

sorry i can't help you

now another question about relay

i am able to sends emails successefull, however coz i had craeted virtual domains through that's why i am not getting replies back, how to configure qmail to automaticallly interpretes every outgoing email address with abc@foo.com to my ISP email address abc@isp.com

I am having big problems with the install for courierpassd. I got through vqadmin, vpopmail, qmail, qmailadmin, etc and then got stuck here.

Followed instructions here: http://www.qmailrocks.org/imap_rh.htm

Restarted xinetd and imap, imaps as stated.

I'm no firewall genius, but firestarter is configured to have port 106 open.

Check this out, sooo weird==


So, of course,

and BTW:



Huh? Somebody tell me how to get port 106 open. Come on, I know you know. Puhleeeeease.....

-O

Huh? Somebody tell me how to get port 106 open. Come on, I know you know. Puhleeeeease.....

has any one solved this

What are you trying to run on port 106?

Is there are service listening to that port?
netstat -nlp

If so then check your firewall:
iptables -nL
