Re: courier-imapd, folders and delivery
I want to switch from POP3 to IMAP (finally). I cannot imagine why any enterprise would want to switch from POP3 to IMAP. They are designed to do completely different things. POP3 exists to get the email the heck off your server as quickly as possible, whereas IMAP is designed to keep the email on your server forever. Unless you chose the wrong protocol in the first place, why are you switching? Firstly, I'm not an enterprise :) Secondly, POP3 is easily chosen because it's more compatible in general. There are hardly any MUA:s out there that doesn't support it properly, while the same is not true for IMAP. I've switched to IMAP because it gives me more freedom to switch MUAs and access my mail from anywhere with an IMAP capable client. Wheather the mail is stored locally or on the server doesn't make much difference in my cast, except in so far as it affects availability. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrival: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org PGP signature
Re: courier-imapd, folders and delivery
There is a courier-imap mailing list! Join it! Thanks! I found it yesterday - after having sent my question of course (it's the natural order of things). In the meantime, it's pretty simple. Set $MAILDIR and $DEFAULT to $HOME/Maildir/ Actually, my problem was that I wanted procmail or maildrop (maildrop in thsi case) to deliver to subfolders, and not just the Maildir (I phrased my question incorrectly). I've since discovered that courier doesn't use some magic format, but the sub folders where dot files (dot directories). I just didn't see them with an ls -l. Some times the hidden dot file approach works *too* well :) -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller [EMAIL PROTECTED]' Key retrival: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org

Hello, this isn't entirely qmail related, but since courier-imapd is only qmail users... I want to switch from POP3 to IMAP (finally). That means I'll have to do filtering on the server, like I do locally now with procmail. My problem is that IMAP folders aren't separate Maildirs.

pine + courier-imap
excuse me for question too particular!!!
I have a problem with PINE version 4.00
How can I see the all folders created on the server ?? With the PINE versions 4.00
it's possible with CollectionList option but with version 4 it'is impossible for me
I have tried (without success) with "folder-collection" option (in setup) specifying
{server-imap-name}inbox[] or {server-imap-name}Maildir/[] or {server-imap-name}/[] and
so on...
I have downloaded from internet many manual written by System Managers of American
Universities for PINE configuration but I haven't found the solution!!
Where is the solution or is there the solution ?? thanks.

Courier Problems was UW IMAP Patch
Like Mike said, if you have a lot of client side filters Eudora will thrash you Courier IMAP server bad. If you want to see why switch on debugging in Courier IMAP, it seems that Eudora pulls all messages that match the filter, and it goes through each filter in turn, it also does some wierd UID requesting. Courier hates it the system load goes astronomical at these points. Mike, try the UW IMAP watch these problems dissappear, though I could not tell you why.

Instead of such kludges, why not implement ESMTP AUTH instead? There are patches available via www.qmail.org that allow this. That way your users can relay mail independently of the order (i.e. they can even relay Email without checking via POP/IMAP first). Naturally, the Courier SMTP server natively supports AUTH (and STARTTLS for that matter) AUTH kicks ass ;-) -- Cheers Jason Haar Unix/Special Projects, Trimble NZ Phone: +64 3 9635 377 Fax: +64 3 9635 417

Courier or qmail
Well, it seems the answer to my last question has raised yet another. Has anyone on the list used Courier as a complete mail server? If so, how does it compare to qmail? I started looking at qmail because of the security flaws that other's have reported in sendmail. However, now that I'm looking more into qmail, the lack of static licensing concerns me. I may be wrong, but from the looks of it, Courier does most of what qmail does, and provides a more standard license with the software. I'm not trying to start a flame war here, just looking for advice from other more experience Mail Server Admins. Jamin W. Collins

And qmail SMTP is a most popular SMTP server to handle high load. Can anybody give me compariion of these qmail and courier SMTP servers? I have successfuly installed courier with MSSQL database but could not get qmail working with MSSQL database. That's why I am going for courier servers.

I am using courier-imap with Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape Messenger, and Eudora, along with sqwebmail. It is a wonderful product.

Re: OT: courier-imapd netscape messanger for windows == complete fuckup... any ideas?
Hi Martin, Courier-imap never creates any folder outside the maildir. Messenger never shows any subfolders in your private namespace on the same level as the INBOX-folder. IMAP-Namespace has nothing to to how IMAP-Server stores their messages. Even if you patch courier-imap, Messenger shows subfolders of private namespace as subfolders of INBOX. courier-imap uses some extensions to maildir-format. The "." when creating a folder is used to be compatible with standard-maildir-format. Otherwise an appplication would not be able to differentiate between maildir-folder "cur" and user folder "cur". I realy don't know whats your the problem with courier-imap. Bye Georg Martin Jespersen schrieb: Hi Georg, Definition root-level folders = folders on the same level as the INBOX in the filesystem directory structure. Example: INBOX == ~mylogin/Maildir/ Trash == ~mylogin/Trash/ Sent == ~mylogin/Sent/ etc... I have made a Maildir folder under ~mylogin as ~mylogin/Maildir/ using maildirmake and there is no problem delivering to it or reading from it. The problem is this: Courier-imapd refuse to create root-level folders and insists that all folders should be created as subfolder of the INBOX folder. Example: INBOX == ~mylogin/Maildir/ Trash == ~mylogin/Maildir/Trash/ Sent == ~mylogin/Maildir/Sent/ Furthermore, since courier-imapd uses '.' as separator instead of the standard '/' that other Maildir-like message structures like Mh use all folders are created with a . infront. Example: INBOX == ~mylogin/Maildir/ Trash == ~mylogin/Maildir/.Trash/ Sent == ~mylogin/Maildir/.Sent/ The problem basically seems to be that the guy who wrote courier-imapd is so hooked on the rfc's that he made a imap server that breakes all clients :( (or at least netscape messanger and microsoft outlook, which are used by the larger part of internet users as MUA) At first i thought that this was due to the silly choice of personal Namespace that he made, ie.

please help me with Courier-imap!
Hello all, I am puzzled by what is happening when retrieving mail through courier-imap. I connect to my Maildir remotely and I know that there is no mail in my Maildir, but yet I am getting 24 duplicate messages back. Where are these messages coming from? I tried to connect to another user's Maildir and I got back 8 duplicate messages (not the same as my messages). I don't have any messages in /var/spool/mail/ and I am certain that when I send mail to the Maildirs, that they are going into there proper mail directories. Any ideas anyone? Thank you all!
courier-imap help
I need some help with a new problem with courier-imap Is there a developers list for that I can join? Problem is There is a rpm build problem in the new Redhat 7.0 Beta that didn't exist in RedHat 6.2 I am on the redhat rpm-devel-list, and got around the problem for builds as root, but the courier-imap requires it's rpm to be built as a non-root user. I need to discuss this further with those who know. :-) thanks, Barry Smoke

If you are using mysql, sybase or oracle, you need to edit the courier-imap code. In the authlib directory, find the vauth_getpw function call and add a vclose(); right after it. The reason why is, a courier-imap client causes a courier-imap process to run on the server. Unlike pop, the courier-imap server process stays active for the entire session. So if you have 200 people using imap, you'll have 200 courier-imap server processes running on your machine. Now the reason for the vclose() is that vpopmail API doesn't explicitly close the connection to the database. Once the vauth_getpw() function is run, courier-imap has all the information it ever needs from the database. At that point we need to call vclose() to close the database connection. If not, those 200 imap clients will cause 200 database connections to stay open. The vclose() call isn't needed if you are using the file based authentication module in vpopmail. Since the files are closed during each vpopmail api function call. Ken

[newcomer] Problems installing Qmail+VMailMgr+Courier-Imap
hello,
I've come across HOWO recently added to the linux HOWTO's, written
by Dan Kuykendall, titled "Qmail VMailMgr and Courier-ImapHOWTO". This
HOWTO guided me though the prep/compile/install for
- ucspi-tcp
- daemontools
- supervise-scripts
- qmail
- vmailmgr
- courier-imap
and a few config changes, like add a user and add a virtualhosts
file to add users to a test domain virtualhost. Ah, of course, I did
remove sendmail and friends before starting.
And then restarted.
[ a little background on the machine: it's an old RH5.1 upgraded to
RH.6.1, running named (from CD rpms), Samba (built from src) and MySQL
(from SRPMs) and Apache+mod_perl (built from src). I do have lots of
Perl modules, but don't think it matters. ]
Well, now nothing's running as it should. It's an internal test
server, so I don't really mind that syslog is taking 50% of cpu time.
:) But I guess that signals that something's running wrong, don't you?
Now, the symptoms I could gather:
- syslogd taking 50% processor time
- command line utilities like mail / sendmail are there and seem
to work, but `mail root` or `sendmail root` and then typing `mail` to
see my own msg did not work. Maybe I'm expecting something to work that
won't ever work when virtualizing email accounts?
- tried to connect to the imap server from the very same box,
with NN4.x under GNOME and got an eternal wait.
- tried to connect to the pop server from the very same box,
with NN4.x under GNOME and got an eternal wait.
As you can read, I'm quite new to this software, and I'm looking for
clues to follow. Could someone point me in the right direction? The aim
of all this is to get qmail to work, and then virtual domain accounts to
work also over imap. Then. with the aid of an opensource imap webmail
interface, I'll be out with Pinky and The Brain to conquer the world :)
Thanks!
martin

potentially touchy topic of courier imap v imap clients (fwd)
I posted the message below to the imap list at U Washington, to see if I could get any comments. I didn't get much of a response, so I thought I would try here as well. Thank you for any comments you might have. -- Forwarded message -- Date: Tue, 9 May 2000 17:12:34 -0500 (EST) From: Chris Dent [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: potentially touchy topic of courier imap v imap clients I realize this is probably a topic which has been beaten to death, but my review of the list archives did not return a great deal, so I thought I would poke around and see what kind of responses I was able to get. Feel free to respond to me directly or to the list, I can summarize if necessary. My work environment is a smallish ISP with approximately 10,000 email accounts. Right now the vast majority of those users have their mail housed on pop servers running qmail and qmail-pop3d. We went with qmail because of several reasons: we had significant success with it on our relays we could use Maildir on the POP machine, which meant that management of mail messages, quota, user management, logging, and a whole slew of stuff was going to be very easy to customize, tweak, make just so and generally be good. it's all fast and small Soon we will be moving from our pop only or shell based mail only mail environment to something we are calling mailstore, which will be a place where users keep their mail that has multiple access modes (initially just POP, IMAP and IMAP with something like stunnel, but growing to Webmail and probably IMAP access from the shell machine). We would like to avoid having to migrate people's mail collections to a new format, to maintain the advantages that Maildir gives us and to continue using the considerable collection of custom code we have put together to manage the machines. Which says to me that we should use an IMAP server which supports Maildir. I'm not sure of all the options (input is most welcome) but those I've thought about so far have issues: - UW with Maildir support, I've been told, still suffers from the memory footprint problems that the c-client programs suffer - Courier-IMAP, I've beent old (again), suffers from signicant "doesn't play well with clients" issues and suffers from an author that doesn't want to play with others either. - Cyrus present a lot of advantages and we can make it interoperate with whatever mail server we choose, but we will need to migrate from the existing Maildir structure and tools which manage users will need to be changed. I want to use Courier-IMAP because I agree with the spirit of it's design--small, modular, extensible through pipelines--but because this is an ISP environment we have next to no control over client use and must, for the sake of customer satisfaction and technical support costs, minimize the trouble that an IMAP server will cause. Are the client interaction problems in Courier-IMAP that significant? If so, does anyone care to guess how hard it would be for a motivated person to code around them? Sam, if you are listening, what are your comments or suggestions? My feeling on this whole issue are nicely captured by Postel in RFC 760 section 3.2: The implementation of a protocol must be robust. Each implementation must expect to interoperate with others created by different individuals. While the goal of this specification is to be explicit about the protocol there is the possibility of differing interpretations. In general, an implementation should be conservative in its sending behavior, and liberal in its receiving behavior. That is, it should be careful to send well-formed datagrams, but should accept any datagram that it can interpret (e.g., not object to technical errors where the meaning is still clear). Which, unfortunately, people get very uptight about. (I know I've been there).

courier 0.27 and shared folders config.
hey all, this mail concerns the behaviour of the qmail imap daemon together with vpopmail 3.4.11 under qmail 1.03 on a suse linux system. i've come around some problem with the shared folders system under courier. i can have shared maildirs and they're doing their job very well - the problem is that as soon as i've subscribed to a shared folder qmail isn't able to deliver mail locally to my maildir anymore. the error message (from the maillog) is as follows: Unable_to_link_tmp_to_new_(#4.3.0)/Yikes!_Could_create_but_can't_delete_temporary_file!! ENOENT:_path_doesn't_exist/ i think i've already located the (supposed) error - as soon as i remove the symlink 'shared' (which points to vpopmail/domains/shared_folders/.test) from 'vpopmail/domains/abc.de/abc/Maildir/shared-folders/test/test') everything works perfect again, no errors, mail gets sent, no complaints from qmail. of course i've already tried all chmod's in every possible directory, i gave the files in all responsible shared-folder-directories to the vpopmail user, to the qmail users, but nothing brought a change yet, the error message still remains and mail doesn't get sent to the user's inbox. does qmail have a problem with symlinks? the directory does exist and also i don't see why qmail bothers to read this link, it shouldn't pay attention to it at all should it? i also tried to make the shared folder read-only as well as read+write, and the error occurs in both modes. it really seems to be all about the 'shared'-link and i really don't get what's so wrong with it or why qmail actually bothers to read (or tries to do something odd with) it. also, the first part of the error message 'Unable_to_link_tmp etc.' wasn't there on some earlier tries, it was just 'Can't_create_tempfile' and then the remaining line. that's it, i really hope you've already come across that error and know a way to fix it or change/modify whatever is possible to make it work. thanks alot for your time, i still think qmail together with vpopmail and courier rules :) regards, markus stalder [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That Yikes! error message looks like something inside vpopmail. That's probably the best place to track it down.

Re: courier-imap rpm
I must appologizelooks like I'm going to be reloading a server here soon.:-) I have 2 servers set up almost identical...but with different histories. One was a fresh RedHat 6.0 install upgraded to 6.1 the other was a RH 4/5.2/6.0/6.1 upgraded server. I've had problems with 2 rpm's now that install just fine...but don't run correctly. No rhyme or reason. Courier-imap compiles...installswon't run. Zope compiles(from source rpm)installs...runs.but i can't log in to manage These 2 flukes have happened on the same server..and using the same software, work fine on my other one. Sorry for the snide remarks about courier not working from the rpm.. I should know by now to test on 2 servers before comenting.

courier-imap rpm
Anyone used the rpm instructions on the courier-imap page and gotten them to work? All the files look like they install o.k.but on my RH6.0 system, I disabled the imap line in my inetd.conf file(in order to get rid of the bind: already in use error) because it looks to me like it uses couriertcpd to listen on it's own the start-up script runs...with the right messages, but I do a netstatand there's no port 143 being listened to...(yes...I'm using netstat -tan for a complete listing.) I do a ps auxand there's no imap process running.. Even though the author says there's no need to post a rpmit would be nice to have one that's ready to install, and runjust by changing the config file. Thanks, Barry Smoke

courier imap and shared folders
hi all, first: I'm a linux, qmail and imap greenhorn... i have a linux RH 6.0 and qmail 1.03 i try to replace ore NT exchange server with a linux qmail/maidir/imap configuration i uses Netscape4,7 and Outlook2000 as clients. first, i installed qmail and qmail-pop3d, all works fine! now i installs curier imap and it works fine but only on users inpox... i need shared folders that all mail users can see and move mails from users inpox to the shared folder. what is wrong? support courier imap shared folders? any help is welcome thanks sam samuel gisiger triaids engineering GmbH triadis engineering GmbH Eichholzstrasse 7 CH-3254 Messen Telefon +41 (31) 768 15 15 Internet www.triadis.ch

Courier-IMAP Authenticate via Checkpassword !
Hi , I hava make a remote access server with radius and porslave and store my username on a mySQL table and radiusd authenticate via this table . So I have patch my qmail with that patch I have find on www.qmail.org that can make qmail to receive mail based on users and uid and gid and home dir that stored on mySQL table well. So It patch checkpassword for authenticate via mySQL table and qmail-pop3d work with this users that not stored in Linux passwd and they are only a mySQL users . I have apply virtual host support with mbox_host that can find in that patch . So my services work well so well ! But my problem is that I want to have IMAP service . So existance IMAP daemon only authenticate form PAM or passwd but I wanna to authenticate via mySQL table or chechpassword program that I have already patch it to authenticate via mySQL table . So Is there any way to setting Courier-IMAP daemon or any other IMAP daemon that work with qmail to authenticate via checkpassword or directly from mySQL table ?

will ldap auth and directory services be included in a future version of this imap implementation? thanks. -marlon At 07:05 PM 10/26/99 -0400, Sam wrote: Courier-IMAP provides IMAP access to Maildirs. Written from scratch, it weighs in at 1/5th the size of UW-IMAP, despite a reasonably complete IMAP4rev1 implementation. There might be some problems with vchkpw support in this first version, but everything else is functional. Strict implementation of RFC 2060 (IMAP4rev1) means that pretty much every IMAP client I tested was broken in some way - even Pine (!), although Pine's IMAP implementation was the best one I've looked at. Netscape Communicator's IMAP client also works, although until someone at Netscape figures out that there is no such thing as a negative message sequence number, checking for new mail and copying messages between folders may not work very well. Microsoft Outlook works more or less ok, but only because I relented and accomodated its bugs that made folder creation and deletion a rather annoying experience. http://www.inter7.com/courierimap/ * Very fast. I opened a folder with 700 msgs for the first time with no noticeable delay (on a reasonably fast box). * Supports /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and MD5 passwords. Supports PAM. Allegedly supports vchkpw (not tested). Supports userdb (basically a GDBM or DB based virtual mailbox database). PAM support basically means that any PAM module can be used for authentication. * Same userdb and maildir driver as maildrop (and sqwebmail). Courier-IMAP will see and access sqwebmail's folders. * Some anti script-kiddie measures - limit on max # of connections, limit on max # of connections from the same IP address. Artificial delays for bad passwords. What this means is that you no longer need to hack Pine into reading Maildirs. Just run the server on localhost, and tell Pine to use IMAP to localhost to read INBOX or file mail into folders. -- Sam
