Hi,
I have had some difficulty installing dbmail for postgresql on a
new testing installation. There are two issues. First, it seems
that the default permissions configuration for the Postgresql
installation is too restrictive to allow dbmail to work. This
causes dbmail installation to fail. Second, the installation
process does not seem to create the required database or postgresql
user, or to create the tables in the database.
To elaborate on the permissions problem: the default postgresql
configuration allows connections to databases using only usernames
that are the same as unix usernames. So even root is only allowed
to connect to databases using the postgresql username "root".
I believe that this may have changed from a weaker scheme at some point.
Starting dbmail-imapd from init - for example - requires that a process
running as root connects to the dbmail database using the username
dbmail (or whatever else has been specified in /etc/dbmail/dbmail.conf).
This will fail unless the default postgresql permissions are relaxed.
I have generally been impressed by how smoothly this Debian
installation went, so it is in that context that I am making the
following comment about dbmail-psql: it doesn't seem to install
as smoothly as other packages. In particular, I feel that the
dbmail-psql installation process could and should:
- Create the dbmail database and user.
- Create the tables in the new database.
This second step, in particular, is not mentioned in any documentation
that I could find. (The README.Debian file mentions an INSTALL file,
but that does not seem to be included in the package - is this an
oversight?)
Many thanks for making this software available.
