I'm trying to run a sendmail/imapd/getmail (or
fethchmail, but getmail is what I'm playing with at the
moment) setup to:
* send mail from clients via SMTP
* collect mail from external pop accounts and
distribute them to relevant users (we don't have a
fixed IP)
* trap internal emails and hold them for collection
* forward email to one account for an external ISP
I can successfully use sendmail to send to any external
email address, but at the moment, I'm having two
problems:
1. I can send mail to either username@domainname, or
username@servername; but I can't get it via pop -
the clients (Pegasus 4 on WinNT4) don't report any
error code on sending or receiving, but the emails
(tests only, thankfully) aren't found. The imap
server is the Mark Crispin one that comes with Red
Hat 6.2 - documentation is almost non-existent. I
presume it's not finding the sendmail mailboxes,
but I don't know how to change this. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
2. I don't know what to configure getmail to as the
default directories into which it will place the
got mail, so that imapd will serve them to the
clients. It seems the sendmail mailboxes are files
rather than directories (is this right?); how then
do I post the emails to them?
3. I believe I can use sendmail to forward the emails
externally using a /etc/mail/virtusertable; I've
also picked up that I can create a .forward file in
the user's mailbox, and it will be automatically
forwarded (by sendmail or imapd?). Which is the
better approach?
