Hello Everyone,

I have a very simple question today for you guys, I hope. I just recently
decided to setup courier so I instlaled all the software and I build the rpm. I
am using MySQL with it and amd using courier for my virtual users only, not real
system users. I have a database called mail in mysql, and three tables,
aliases, domains, and mailboxes. Since aliases and domains aren't apart of my
problem, the layout of mailboxes only is
username,password,name,maildir,quota,domain,create_date,change_date,active.
Everything is working fine. I installed courier-imap and then
courier-imap-mysql just find by the rpms i built. After I installed those two
packages I edited authdaemonrc to:

authmodulelist="authmysql" authmodulelistorig="authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap authpgsql authmysql
authpam" daemons=5 version="authdaemond.mysql"

with everything else default. Then i proceeded to change authmysqlrc to:

MYSQL_SERVER localhost MYSQL_USERNAME root MYSQL_PASSWORD mypwd # MYSQL_SOCKET /var/mysql/mysql.sock #MYSQL_PORT 0 MYSQL_OPT 0 MYSQL_DATABASE mail #MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD crypt MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD password MYSQL_UID_FIELD '101' MYSQL_GID_FIELD '103' MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD username MYSQL_NAME_FIELD name MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD maildir DEFAULT_DOMAIN fast-build.com

and everything else default (i think i got eerything though). Note for maildir
I keep all my virtual mail in /mail/virtual with folders under the actual mail
address, like te...@fast-build.com. And lastly I edited my imapd file with the
following values changed:

ADDRESS=127.0.0.1 AUTHMODULES="authdaemon"

Those are the only two things worth nothing in that file I believe. Now heres
my problem. Since I'm on windows and my server is hooked up to my network I can
access it two ways. I can go directly through the network to the server by
using the routers assigned IP, or I can use my IP assigned to the route and have
the signal sent to the server cus I have it setup to forward all requests on
port 143 to the server. When I connect through the network I can connect just
find, and log in as a user so Mysql is setup correctly and everything, but when
i try and use my actual IP address, 63.127.45.55, I can't connect, and it just
times out. I have tried playing around with the ip setting in imapd but i keeps
giving me errors if i don't set it to the loopback ip or 0, whatever that means.
I would read logs but I'm not sure what log the info is in that pertains to this
problem. My server is setup as follows. It's redhat linux 7.3 with postfix
2.0.16 and courier-imap 2.2.1. If anyone could help me out with this, give me
some pointers on how to make it let me connect outside my home network, that
would be great.

Thanks again, Dan
