Ok, so I'm installing qmail + vpopmail + courier-imap.
Everything almost works.
But I'm stuck at getting courier-imap to do SMTP-relaying via
vpopmail's --roaming-users.
According to the FAQ:
2. Courier-IMAP doesn't detect roaming users in the vpopmail library
correctly, so force it by doing something like this just before
compiling:
export CFLAGS=-DHAVE_OPEN_SMTP_RELAY
3. compile courier-imap with --without-authdaemon --with-authvchkpw
4. Make sure you run your imap server as the same user as your pop
server (so open-smtp and tcp.smtp have the same ownership). man
couriertcpd for details, but you will change /usr/lib/courier-
imap/libexec/imapd.rc something like this:
Change this line:
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd -address=$ADDRESS \
To:
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/couriertcpd -address=$ADDRESS \
-user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw \
So I do all of this by the book. Now, courier-imap doesn't work if I
add the -user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw directives to imapd.rc (as in a
vpopmail user can't authenticate).
According to /var/log/messages:
Jul 11 00:53:33 hoss authdaemon: authdaemon: s_connect() failed:
Permission denied
If I remove the -user=vpopmail -group=vchkpw directives from imapd.rc,
of course, the vpopmail user can authenticate via imap, but simply
cannot relay through SMTP.
I assume that I get the s_connect() simply because the permissions to
something aren't right. But I haven't a clue as to what that could be!
Everything in /home/vpopmail is correct... I'm stumped.
If I can't figure this out, I'll have to go back to POP (which I have
successfully got to do roaming-users as per the documentation, and
works perfectly), which sucks because I really want to use IMAP
exclusively.
Does anyone here have a courier-imap + vpopmail (+ mysql) + qmail setup
working properly in this fashion? What am I missing?
Thanks,
