here's a quick cut and paste from my notes

Used courier-mta, courier-imap, courier-pop, squirrelmail.

To tell courier about hosted domains,

add domain to, /etc/courier/hosteddomains

then,as root, run makehosteddomains

and to tell courier to accept esmtp connections for the domain

add domains to /etc/courier/esmtpacceptmailfor.dir/domains

then,as root, run makeacceptmailfor

NB - make sure your editor has not left a backup copy in the same directory! otheriwse you get 'cannot store record for newdomain.com - duplicate or out of space'

Now to add the individual accounts

as user vmail create new directory

/home/vmail/domains/newdomain

and (still as vmail) run

maildirmake /home/vmail/domains/newdomain.com/info

for in...@newdomain.com.

then as root run

userdb "in...@newdomain.com" set home=/home/vmail mail=/home/vmail/domains/newdomain.com/info uid=1011 gid=1011

and to set the password...

userdbpw | userdb "in...@newdomain.com" set imappw

NB now run makeuserdb

to get the users details added to the .dat file

Make sure to add the passwords to the store on the zope server.

Also, the email account postmaster@ HAS to be set up as well.

make sure that courier is using auserdb for authentication - on debian the auth daemon was included automatically - i installed courier-webadmin and chose to include userdb as well as PAM for authentication. PAM deals with local nix accounts, userdb authenticates against the userdb file,

sorry its a bit messy but i though i'd send what i had,

HTH,
