Virtual Users With Postfix, PostfixAdmin, Courier, Mailscanner, ClamAV On CentOS 5.5

Hi All,

I am trying to set up a Mail Server -- Virtual Users with Postfix, PostfixAdmin,
Courier, Mailscanner, ClamAV On CentOS 5.5 using this guide.

These are the version and softwares I have used till now:-

Quote:

MySQL 5.0.77-4
PHP 5.1.6-27
phpMyAdmin 2.11.11
Apache 2.2.3-43
Postfix 2.3.3-2
PostfixAdmin 2.3.2

Till know I have configured LAMP stack with phpMyAdmin.

I am having a small problem while configuring the PostfixAdmin. This is the 4th point of the INSTALL.txt which was in postfixadmin-2.3.2.tar.gz

Quote:

4. Check settings, and create Admin user
----------------------------------------

Hit http://yourserver.tld/postfixadmin/setup.php in a web browser.

You should see a list of 'OK' messages.

The setup.php script will attempt to create the database structure
(or upgrade it if you're coming from a previous version).

Assuming everything is OK you can specify a password (which you'll
need to use setup.php again in the future); when you submit the form,
the hashed value (which you need to enter into config.inc.php is echoed
out - with appropriate instructions on what to do with it).

create the admin user using the form displayed.

I am having problems in creating Admin account or user as told in the last line here, which is asked in the web browser. Please see the attached Postfix.PNG.
I have used postfix, postfix@localhost, postfix@mail.example.com, postfix@example.com, postfix@192.168.1.100 in the Admin Field, But none of the are working.

I doubt it is trying to match some data from MySQL database.
These are tables available in my Postfix database.

Code:

[root@mail html]# mysql -upostfix -ppostfix27 postfix -hlocalhost -e "show tables";

+-----------------------+

| Tables_in_postfix    |

Hi All,

I got my answer here:

Thanks people.

I might need more help from you people so I am not closing this thread for next 2-3 days. :p

Hi Gurus / All,

Following the How-To, I am stuck on this page.

It has been written there that, "Change both create_mailbox.php in the main and admin folder."
and
"Change both delete.php in the main and admin folder"

I could not find any create_mailbox.php in /var/www/html/postfixadmin/ folder (neither on my machine).

Also, I could only find delete.php in my main (/var/www/html/postfixadmin) folder and not in /var/www/html/postfixadmin/admin folder.

Code:

[root@mail log]# find / -name "delete.php"

/var/www/html/postfixadmin/delete.php

[root@mail log]#

[root@mail log]# find / -name "create_mailbox.php"

[root@mail log]# echo $?

0

Apart from this, I also observed the below errors in my /var/log/maillog

Code:

Dec 28 00:47:47 mail postfix/qmgr[4703]: fatal: unsupported dictionary type: mysql

Dec 28 00:47:48 mail postfix/master[4628]: warning: process /usr/libexec/postfix/qmgr pid 4703 exit status 1

Dec 28 00:47:48 mail postfix/master[4628]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/qmgr: bad command startup -- throttling

These are repeating after every 30 seconds. I tried to google it out, but could not find anything useful :(

Any ideas people how to figure out both of these issues ?

I am thinking to write a tidy How-To with some shell scripts once I finish this because I could not find any good guide to set up a mail server with all these functionalities. And the one I am referring is of 2007; its quite old one. I believe it would help lots of people like me as it covers LAMP stack, phpMyAdmin and postfixadmin.

Till then I need your support :) Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

I dropped this scenario and configured iRedMail instead using this How-To.

It was the easiest thing I had done in Linux till now :)
It had everything I was looking for. Will play with configuration files now. ;)

Thanks all. I am closing this thread now.
