I'll give you some pointers with that in mind.
-First, how should I create the user accounts? I mean what I've done
so far is create a new user/group through System Settings/Users and
Groups. This user/group is tester.
That's fine. To start out, it's probably simplest to use system users
(as you've done) and get acquainted with the normal Unix user management
tools.
With this I have the folder in $HOME/tester
Pointer: $HOME is a variable set when you log in, which points at your
home directory. "$HOME" is not the same thing as /home (that is, it
usually has a value other than "/home").
If you log in as "tester" and 'echo $HOME', it should print "/home/tester"
-Second, I log on as tester (su tester) and I used maildirmake
$HOME/maildir to create the maildir test in $HOME/tester.
Unix systems are case sensitive, so you'll probably want to log in as
tester and 'mv maildir Maildir' to rename the maildir.
After I use follow these steps:
mkdir /usr/local/etc/authlib/userdb
...
Since you're using system users, you don't need the userdb. Remove that
to avoid confusion.
Third, I create
/usr/lib/courier/etc/locals file and I add the following: mydomain.es
localhost
prueba
Courier won't accept mail for domains that don't resolve in DNS, so
"localhost" and "prueba" aren't going to be valid. Regardless of
whether or not they're in the "locals" file, Courier won't accept mail
for them.
and then, I run makealiases. I also add mydomain.es to my dns file
What do you mean by your "dns file"? /etc/hosts is not sufficient, if
that's what you're referring to. The domain you're using needs to be
set up *properly* in DNS.
If you need to, for testing purposes, install named on the virtual host
and configure the domain there. Then add 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf
(or use the network config tool to add it).
