am stuck at creating user accounts and virtual domains. I have got the webadmin CFI working, and added the virtual domains to "Locally hosted domains".

Check whether these domains appear in /etc/courier/locals . If they do, you need system accounts for the users of those domains. Virtual domains whose users do not have system accounts should only appear in hosteddomains and esmtpacceptmailfor.

Courier installed per default in /usr/lib/courier for me.. and the ./etc/hosteddomains and ./etc/esmtpacceptmailfor folders contain one file each with only the hosted domains listed in it.

That doesn't answer the question whether your virtual domains are in /etc/courier/locals .

But what exactly should I do with the users? Should they have normal system (unix/linux) accounts or not? In both cases, how do I create a user for a specific domain?

I don't think you want system accounts. If you have that, then the user name will take precedence over the domain name and all mail to anders@dom1, anders@dom2, anders@dom3 will be delivered to the system user anders, no matter what you do. If you want the domains to be really virtual, get them out of locals, keep them in hosteddomains and esmtpacceptmailfor, run makehosteddomains, put them in aliases, run makealiases and make sure you have the proper .courier files in the proper places.

Alternatively you might opt for the userdb way of doing things; man userdb.

Yes, I followed the usedb hint and I think I got it to work. I can now login via pop3 and check mail. But now my problem is that I cannot send mail. I get "450 Service temporarily unavailable" when trying to send mail via SMTP service. Also the webmail CGI accepts the username and password for each virtual domain I configured a user, but then I get a "Internal server error" from Apache.

I started courier like this:

./sbin/courier start ./sbin/esmptd start ./sbin/pop3d start ./libexec/authlib/authdaemond start

This is the entire maillog after this:

Now I tried to connect to read and send mail:

What is the problem?

Also, where does the "ident=Gatak" come from? Is the esmtp server trying to connect to the clients ident servers? (Not all has these running)

I had this very same problem less than a week ago. Check the list archive and you'll find the solution.

Lycka till.

=) Tack!
