A few mailing list basics: 1. Post replies to the list. 2. Don't use HTML. 3. Don't top-post. (I can here because it's not related. :-)

Hello, thanks for your reply. I managed to get past all of that. Everything is installed now and appears to at least be running, but it's not working right.

I'm running Red Hat Linux - I'm not sure what version, I think EL3 or maybe 9.

Now, it is accepting email but none of it is going into the mailboxes - it reports it cannot open the mailbox.

Have you created maildirs for the usernames?

And I cannot establish a connection from Outlook.

Likely to happen if there is no maildir...

Is there anything specific I could send you that might help in diagnosing the causes?

Log file messages, for starters...

I'm running all the lastest versions of Courier IMAP, Postfix, Cyrus SASL, SpamAssassin - and an older version of Maildrop (1.6.3) since it was the only one I could get to install.

I appreciate any assistance you could offer.

Here is the tail end of the maillog:

Oct 30 16:16:47 serversareus postfix/qmgr[8977]: 2E5111251ED: from=<VLTZ@bbench.bounce.ed10.net>, size=4282, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 30 16:16:49 serversareus postfix/pipe[10747]: E8E661251E6: to=<rs@rswfire.com>, relay=maildrop, delay=31730, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: /usr/local/courier/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox. )

Yep, that might be a problem...
