Re: Leaning more about Linux skills...

1999-12-20 Thread Derek Smith

Marvel,

I would recommend getting Red-Hat Linux if you are new to Linux/UNIX.

>From the applications side, you want to get Apache (www.apache.org) for
the proxy web server, WU-FTPd (www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd) for the FTP
server and qmail (www.qmail.org) for the mail server.

This is what most sites will use.  Each of these has relevant mailing
lists, newsgroups, FAQ's, etc.

Hope this helps,


Regards,

Del.

Maildir imap and vpopmail

2000-03-03 Thread Derek Smith

Hi,

I want to have imapd use Maildir format maildrops and use vchpw also.

Does anyone do this, are there patches available for imap-maildir (or
another imap server) or is there another method of implementing this?


Thanks in advance,

Cheers,

Del.



Re: Maildir imap and vpopmail

2000-03-03 Thread Derek Smith

Ken,

Does this work with Netscape?  I was under the impression that Netscape has
a broken IMAP implementation.

If this is the case then what alternatives are out there, and what do other
people on the group use?


Regards,

Derek.

ETRN

2000-03-22 Thread Derek Smith

Hi,

I'm about to patch ETRN into qmail-1.03, but would like to keep my
existing setup and only install (if possible the patched files).  Is the
best way to do this to find all files that have been recently modified
and attempt to install them in th4 correct place or is there a cleaner
route?


Cheers,

How to kick serialmail

2000-03-23 Thread Derek Smith

Hi,

I have qmail 1.03 installed and am using serialmail to provide ETRN like
functionality.

The problem is that I don't know what to send to the server to 'kick' it
into sending all mail for the domain assiciated with the IP address I am
SMTP'ing from.

Can anyone tell me what is meant to be sent to the server.


Cheers,

Del.




courier-imap & vchkpw

2000-03-24 Thread Derek Smith

Hi,

I can't seem to get courier-imap to compile using vchkpw as the
authentication method.

What I am doing is (as it doesn't seem to detect vchkpw is installed)
specifying --with-authvchkpw, but it doesn't even compile the vchkpw
module.

Can someone tell me how to configure vchkpw as the authentication module
for courier-imap either via options passed to configure, or by forcing
courier-imap to see that vchkpw is installed.


Cheers,

Del.

Re: Unable to configure IMAP client

2000-04-10 Thread Derek Smith

David,

courier-imap can be configured with the option
'--enable-workarounds-for-imap-client-bugs' which, as it says enables
courier-imap to work with broken IMAP clients including Netscape and Outlook.


Hope this helps,

Del.

qmail: can't create subfolder

2000-05-12 Thread Derek Smith

Hi,

I'm using courier IMAP (don't know if there's a mailing list) and am
having problems allowing users to create subfolders from Netscape 4.x or
Outlook

It will create subfolders in Netscape however if you specify Inbox as
the folder to create in and specify the new folder name as
subfolder.newsubfolder

Anyone seen this behaviour?  Have I missed something?

p.s. I'm using vchkpw for auth.


Cheers,

Del.




Re: qmail: can't create subfolder

2000-05-12 Thread Derek Smith

Hi,

Got Netscape working (by forcing a subscribe on the INBOX (wasn't set!)),
but I still can't get Outlook (v5) or Outlook Express working.

If anyone has instructions on setting up these clients, or possible causes,
can the point me to them or post them to the group.


Cheers,

Del.

courier IMAP and Outlook problem

2000-05-15 Thread Derek Smith

Hi,

I'm having difficulty getting MS Outlook 5 to create IMAP subfolders in
Courier-IMAP.

Does anyone have any experience of this, do they have it working?

Can anyone offer any work around?
