heh... I moved to Courier because of similar issues with qmail.
I believe I've installed everything correctly, after almost ten hours of
installing packages, patching problems, reading tons of information,
etc.
It shouldn't take that long to build Courier. I understand that you'd
like to use Postfix, but I personally recommend building the courier and
courier-authlib packages, and installing a pure Courier email system.
It should be much more simple to configure than postfix+courier-imap,
and it gives you a sandbox in which you can learn to configure and
operate the Courier software.
If you later decide that there's reason for you to use Postfix, you can
install that knowing at least that all of your Courier components are
working. You'll have fewer things that you need to check if Postfix
gives you trouble doing mail delivery.
Also: build Courier using rpm if at all possible:
http://www.courier-mta.org/?rpm.html
(Sam, that document is a little out of date... It still mentions
courier-smtpauth, and does not mention courier-authlib. You might want
to update it sometime.)
, but I cannot get maildrop to deliver any mail - depending on the
mailbox, it either cannot set the uid/gid, or it cannot open the
mailbox. I cannot figure out how to view the queue or to ask it to send
it again.
All of those are Postfix-specific, so I can't help you.
In addition, I cannot connect remotely to IMAP, and I don't
seem to have POP3 installed, or I cannot figure out how to turn it on!
Do you have courier-authlib installed and running?
The install document describes the process of starting the courier servers:
