You could rewrite the offending text with maildrop, couldn't you?

SBC is generating a garbage DSN. Outlook is broken because it chokes on it, and can't recover.

B) What can we do about it? Obviously this kind of thing is going to continue to happen. It has happened a number of times in the past. Outlook, although garbage, is the most popular email client. SBC is not going away any time soon. Can we either reject these bad messages at an SMTP level or fix them?

... and then people who just absolutely have a desire to receive broken mail from these servers, but use a mail client that can handle them, will complain about bouncing them.

So what about fixing the message up, or putting them in a wrapper like courier does with bsd mime messages?

Does courier allready parse the message into headers and body at some point?

Thanks for getting back to me quickly

but the MYSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE in the authdaemon configuration covers both imap and pop3 authentication..... how do I seperate it? (an example would be great :P) - or point me to somewhere that explains it (I have been through all the docs on the website, but can't find what I need).

Thanks! Andrew.

Hi! I am setting up a courier (imap and pop3) server with mysql-auth for about 200-300 users.... At the moment around 20 of those users should have access to imap, and the rest (not so important people :PP) pop3....

In my database I will have fields for imap 1/0 pop3 1/0

I know of the MYSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE option in the auth configuration, however this is global over both imap and pop3.... is there any way to say

(psudo code)

ALLOW_IMAP_WHERE "imap='1'" ALLOW_POP3_WHERE "pop3='1'"

? (or something along those lines....)

my only other option is to use a seperate pop3 server and make a clear definition between the two... but that would be a shame as courier for pop3 seems great.

See MYSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE.

Try MYSQL_SELECT_CLAUSE instead:

# $(service) will expand out to the service being authenticated: imap, imaps, # pop3 or pop3s. Courier mail server only: service will also expand out to #

MYSQL_SELECT_CLAUSE ... and service like '%:$(service):%'

In your database:

service -------

":imap:imaps:pop3:pop3s:"

":pop3:pop3s:"

... etc...

Hi all. I am very new to Courier and somewhat new to Linux, so please forgive me if my questions sound stupid.

Here’s the situation I’m in now…I have a Red Hat 8.0 server and I’m trying to install the full Courier 0.42.2 package (the one with all modules, not just the courier-imap package). I’ve read through the Install manual several times. I’m pretty sure that I have all of the prerequisites met. I follow the instructions, logged in as a normal user, to run the configure script, then make, then make check, then make install (which I run as root), then make install-configure. All of them seem to complete OK, although I haven’t had the time yet to look through all of the logs.

The problem is that I seem to be missing a lot of directories. When I look at /usr/lib/courier, I only have etc, man, share, and var. I don’t have the bin, sbin, libexec, or any other directories that I think I’m supposed to have. Therefore, when I try to run things such as showmodules to verify the installation, it doesn’t work because showmodules is not there.

I’ve been searching the internet for ideas of how to troubleshoot this, but haven’t come up with much yet.

If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.

Thanks in advance for your time.

From: Shaun T. Erickson <st@ste-land.com> To: cour@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [courier-users] userdb question Date: 08 Jun 2003 23:52:39 -0400

I have read the userdb section of the INSTALL file, and have a question about how to use it on my server, where the configuration isn't quite what the documentation assumes.

I am using postfix. I have three virtual domains. At the moment, because I'm learning, there is one mail account per domain. The maildirs for these are:

/var/spool/vmail/legiongalileo.com/shaun/ /var/spool/vmail/prideguidenj.org/shaun/ /var/spool/vmail/tales-of-the-wanderer.com/shaun/

Postfix correctly delivers mail to each of these accounts. Please note that my use of "vmail" above has nothing to do with courier-imap - it just happened to be the name I chose when setting up postfix. Each of these accounts has their own uid & gid, as known by postfix, because I MAY someday create a login account for them, but there is no password entry for any of them at present. Their only existance is the above directories, i.e., no home directories.

So, I'm trying to figure out how to use userdb in this situation, where there is no vmail account and each of the mail accounts has a unique uid/gid.

The uid/gid issue seems easy, just use the appropriate ones per account. I also will just set mail= to one of the above directories. But what do I set home= to? There also seems no reason for me to run pw2userdb either.

Greetings I'm using both imap and pop3 daemons on my mail server (it's an intel p3 w/ Trustix 1.5 o.s. and the CourierIMAP is ver. 1.7 - 20030215) While pop3 daemon is light (it tooks about 1.5 % of CPU and about 1.1 MB in mem and few seconds to download +/- 100 e-mails) the imap daemon tooks a lot of resources, even 90% or more of CPU to download the same number of e-mails in minutes!!!! The MUA I'm using is Eudora-Win 5.2 in both cases and there are a lot of filters defined. Have you any suggestion? Do you need more info?

Do not use Eudora's filters. They are very inefficient. Use maildrop, instead.

Also, check messages and maillog for errors. And make sure famd is running correctly.

Build the rpm packages and then install the ones you need. This is so much easier. http://www.courier-mta.org/FAQ.html#rpm

New to IMAP not Linux.

OBJECTIVE: Want my server to be able to receive mail and forward to other machines on LAN or that my log in; suggested I setup an IMAP server in lieu of trying to writing exim or procmail forwarding rules. Attempting to get it running right now on the following equipment server (reading thru the docs but have 2 questions):

SYSTEM: Libranet 2.8 (Debian 3 - sarge) exim-tls 3.35-3 #MTA spamassassin 2.55-2 procmail 3.22-7 fetchmail 6.2.1-1 razor-agents-sdk-2.03 razor-agents-2.22 dcc-dccproc-1.1.36 evolution 1.2.3-2 #MUA, mail-client

courier-authdaemon_0.39.1-1 courier-base_0.39.1-1 courier-doc_0.39.1-1 courier-imap-ssl_1.4.3-3.3 courier-imap_1.5.1-1 courier-ssl_0.37.3-3.3

I have a simple server with two NICS, eth0 202.44.168.xxx and eth1 lan (192.168.1.1) to which my notebook (192.168.1.252) and another machine (192.168.1.253) are connected.

The server has been configured to do: fetchmail --> procmail --> spamassassin (using razor & dcc rules) into mail boxes (maildir format)

Exim is not shown in the loop as I only use it to send the mail out using its smarthost feature as procmail is doing the final delivery.

Q. Where do I configure courier for username and password? (There are six files in /etc/courier

Q. Will it use my exiting ~/Mail folder which is in maildir format?

Thanks Marvin

It depends how you would like courier imap to work. One way would be to create accounts in the Linuxbox and have Maildir in the users homedirectories and let this be your existing Maildir. /Lars
