Alright I'm gonna be very honest and tell you I've never configured a mail server before. I've been working for about 2h making everything work fixing all errors along the way. So what have I accomplished?
I have installed postfix and I can receive mails to my /var/www/$user file. I have installed dovecot and I'm not really sure if it's working properly or not, but it's running none the less. And finally I've installed Squirrelmail which is suppose to be a web interface for reading mail, however it cannot read the mails I've receieved. I can however send mails to my gmail account and again, I get mails to my /var/mail/$user directory
Worth noting is that I can read mails perfectly fine using mutt, a terminal based email client, running the following command: mutt -f imap://user@domain.com/user
The following is my dovecot configuration file:
Code:
!include_try /usr/share/dovecot/protocols.d/*.protocol
dict {
#quota = mysql:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
#expire = sqlite:/etc/dovecot/dovecot-dict-sql.conf.ext
}
!include conf.d/*.conf
!include_try local.conf
mail_location = mbox:/var/mail/
protocols = imap imaps
As I said, I haven't done this before. It's almost 2AM here so maybe I've missed something simple. Appreciate all help
Squirrelmail cannot read email even though they've been received
