 |
|
Ok, I am assuming I am overlooking something stupid here... (at least I hope)
I have postfix and Courier-IMAP installed. I can send users mail, and I see it show up in their $HOME/.maildir/new folder.
This is great, but I see no mail when I connect to IMAP, and if I do
| Code: |
$ mail
No mail for schpanky
|
....well, you see what happens.
Why is it telling me there is no mail when I can see it in the directory?
Thanks for the help.

| To better assist you, post the last handful of text in /var/log/maill. You shouldn't need to post the entire log. |

hadn't noticed this before......
from /var/log/mail:
| Code: |
Feb 15 16:12:01 [authdaemond] failed to connect to mysql server (server=mysql.example.com, userid=admin): Unknown MySQL Server Host 'mysql.example.com' (1)
Feb 15 16:12:01 [imapd-ssl] LOGIN FAILED, method=PLAIN, ip=[::ffff:128.237.227.250]
Feb 15 16:12:01 [imapd-ssl] authentication error: Input/output error
|
so I'm guessing I have to do some more config......
I was following this HOW-TO
and was just about to start the Cyrus-sasl section. |

in your authdaemonrc limit the authentication method you use, ie: authmodulelist="authpam" or authmodulelist="authmysql" , from your log, it looks like you dont have authmysqlrc setup.

results:
| Code: | # mail --file ~/.maildir
mail: invalid option -- -
usage: mail [-eIinv] [-a header] [-b bcc-addr] [-c cc-addr] [-s subject]
to-addr [...] [-- sendmail-options [...]]
mail [-eIiNnv] -f [name]
mail [-eIiNnv] [-u user]
|
so, logically I tried
| Code: | # mail -f ~/.maildir
mail: /root/.maildir: Is a directory

look like your mail is different than my mail, so you need to man mail.
| Code: | # equery b $(which mail)
[ Searching for file(s) /usr/bin/mail in *... ]
net-mail/mailutils-0.6 (/usr/bin/mail)
$ mail --file ~/.maildir
"/home/langthang/.maildir": 4 messages 4 new
>N 1 root 13/512 test
N 2 root 13/512 test
N 3 root 13/512 test
N 4 tvan@mar.localhost 13/509 test

Yes, you can use it for cron jobs too.
| Code: | # crontab -e
8 10 * * * /usr/local/bin/pflogsumm.pl -d yesterday /var/log/mail.log 2>&1 | /usr/bin/mail -s "`uname -n` daily mail stats" postmaster
