Hy,

I finaly succeded installing courier/pop/imap/webmail ... and you can find attached a localized (french) version of the WebMail templates.

Anyway, I have found some lacks in the software :

1) As I stated before in a previous mail, you need to have an /etc/resolv.conf on the courier server. It is meaning that if this server is aloso running named, you have to install the /etc/resolv.conf anyway, as courier did not know how to find the named service without this file ... (error 417 DNS ...)

2) courier does not handled correctly multiple MX. For example, if you have a Dial-Up Mail server configured as :

exemple.com. IN SOA ... IN MX 5 dailup.exemple.com IN MX 10 backup.exemple.com

courier does not know how to deal with and returns DNS loop errors... To fix that problem, I use esmtproutes file on backup.exemple.com to specify :

example.com: dialup.exemple.com

and dont forget to tune queuetime and warntime file. By the way, I did not find any command to force flushing the queue so I play with retyxxx files.

3) I was unable to make courier working with dbm support on both Solaris 2.6 and Linux 2.2-14-5.0 on sparcs. I use db instead and it works ... (Errors was that local delivery were not recognized, ie: file hosteddomains.dat was misinterpreted by courier - and please, believe me, I have made many tests and verifications, up to gdb).

4) At least, in case of virtual domains (I use LDAP), the authdaemonrc configuration is not taken in account for delivery instructions and I have to write a .courrier file in each virtual user maildir. This .courrier file just says : |/usr/local/lib/courrier/bin/maildrop (configuration already made in DEFAULTDELIVERY line in authdaemonrc). So, in /usr/lib/courtier/etc I have a file named maildirfilterconfig that contains :

MAILDIRFILTER=./.mailfilter MAILDIR=.

and in each virtual maildir a file .courrier that contains :

|/usr/local/lib/courrier/bin/maildrop

In my LDAP configuration (authldaprc), I have :

... LDAP_MAIL mail LDAP_HOMEDIR mailbox LDAP_MAILDIR mailbox ...

5) I was forced to look at source code to find that configurations files for webmail (logindomainlist, ...) were stored in /usr/local/lib/courrier/etc instead of /usr/local/lib/courrier/share/sqwebmail as stated in the documentation ...

6) Finaly, but I have made today no modification, the Webmail is a bit technical (in particular in the preferences and filters forms, but also in others) and for example, i is a bit tricky to find a way to select all incomming message (you can try adressed to nobody) or to understand what is a DSN format ...
