You can, provided that you also use the configure script option to set the owner of the login cache directory to the same (it defaults to bin, which won't work if sqwebmail cannot set itself to run as the bin user). There will also be a similar issue with groupware calendaring, which also needs to be resolved the same way. -- Sam ___ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users

[courier-users] qmail check host problem

And I check my mysql log file when courier imapd try to authen with mysql .It seem to send the username in username@host to compare with id field .

Then append this to a script that you use to manage users accounts.. -3 i would take a look at the MDA or routine inside courierd and simply add a exec call to make the maildir if it did not exist before trying to put mail there.. or since most unique MDA allow for external command execution if used such as maildrop.. AFAIK.. then use that so that it really doesn't matter. b.t.w. i would assume that chdir() is not working because it cannot chdir since either it does not exist or does not have the rights to land there.. Since i have not hit this problem well this is pretty much solving what i do not need to therefore hope it is 'still_useful'. Hope this helps a little.

[courier-users] Autocreation of maildir
Hi there, we are using the courier-mta with ldap authorization. Does somebody knows a way to autocreate a users maildir when the first mail arrives (or the first time the user check his/her mail)? Qmail haves a configfile for this purpose and I can't believe that there is no way with courier to do that.

I am not familiar with courier, but I'll try to provide some general guidance below. Also, just FYI, please note that the sendmail domain is just a starting point for sendmail; a more complete solution for sendmail is being developed by some folks at MITRE. > The problem is how fine grained a security policy I should make? > Should every processes have a seperate policy or should the whole > package be one security? > Should the certs be protected more than other parts? > Courier writes to the users Maildir in their home dir, only > courier_local writes to users dir. This depends on the permissions required by each courier-related process and your security goals. If several processes require essentially the same permissions, then you can place them in the same domain. Likewise, if several directories/files should be accessible in the same way by the same processes, you can place them in the same type. If you aren't sure what permissions are required, you can initially define separate domains for each process, run the system in permissive mode to collect audit messages, and then evaluate the resulting messages to see whether some of the domains should be coalesced. The script posted by Justin Smith may be helpful to you in automatically converting the audit messages to allow rules, but you still need to carefully analyze these rules to see if they meet your security goals. You should be cautious about using separate types for individual files within a single directory, although this is possible. The problem with using separate types for individual files within a single directory is ensuring that the type is preserved if the file is subsequently updated. If the existing file is merely modified in place, then the type will be preserved. However, if the update to the file involves creation of a new file, then you must take steps to ensure that the type of the new file is the same as the type of the original. One approach for doing so is to put programs that update the file into a separate domain and defining a file_type_auto_trans rule for that domain so that files created by the domain in the directory will inherit the desired type rather than the type of the parent directory by default. However, if the program creates multiple files in the same directory that must have different types, this approach will not work, so you will have to either modify the program or wrap it with another program that sets the file types properly. -- Stephen D.

Courier itself doesn't cross-check, but your operating system will. Courier doesn't change to "user chris" to deliver mail, but instead changes to "user number UID". If the user with this UID doesn't have access to chris' Maildir, then courier will have a problem delivering mail. Rather than crash horribly or discarding messages, courier lets you know that it couldn't get access to the Maildir. > The home directory in the database was correct > (/home/chris) and that was the same in /etc/passwd > I'm not sure if this was even the problem, but courier appears to be > working now.

[courier-users] New user and small question
Hi there :o) I installed Courier on our server running OpenBSD 2.9 and it works pretty well :) But I have small trouble, which (at my opinion) is not Courier problem at all, but you should know how to help. We are using many clients. Some windoze ones (ick, ick... Outlook express 4 & 5), some unixes (Linux/BSD)... Outlook Express 4, running on NT4 SP6a have following trouble: when user connects to server, _sometimes_ it works on first time. But in majority cases, it doesn't respond while 'athorizing' - server stop responding. Courier doesn't put anything interesting to log. When ti works, it put into log following: Dec 14 09:23:49 amanda pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=[:::217.66.165.84] Dec 14 09:23:49 amanda pop3d-ssl: LOGIN, user=ray, ip=[:::217.66.165.84] Dec 14 09:23:49 amanda pop3d-ssl: LOGOUT, user=ray, ip=[:::217.66.165.84], top=0, retr=0 When I check email immediatelly after first check, it stops in 'authorizing' phase. Courier doesn't put anythign to log. So, I guess, problem will be somewhere at fd MS client. But I have to work with them. Atfer some time (~random, minutes, sometimes after 'stop' and 'check again') it works. Everything other on NT works well (SSH connections, other pop3d server (not courier)). All other clients (y2k, linux, bsd) also works well. Please, do you have any sugestion ? I tried search Courier web and FAQ but didn't found reply. Or is here some official FAQ bigger than the one on site ?

Re: [courier-users] deamon cannot 'chdir'
Hi Todd,
Thanks for your answer..
The problem appeared to be that when I entered myself as a user into
the auth table I entered an incorrect UID..
Does courier imapd cross reference the UID found in the database with
the system? The home directory in the database was correct
(/home/chris) and that was the same in /etc/passwd
I'm not sure if this was even the problem, but courier appears to be
working now.
Anyway it boils down to:
It was my fault so I'll stop wasting your time ;)
Thanks very much for your help
Regards
