So, I've been going through this tutorial on qmail/vpopmail, and I can't figure out why qmail isn't working. I've been looking through the forums, but it seems everyone got farther than I have on the tutorial.
I wasn't receiving any mail, so I went through and checked the recommended files in /var/qmail/control, and sure enough, they said localhost. So, okay, that's easy to fix. I just echoed the name of my domain to them. hostname --fqdn, me, defaultdomain, plusdomain, locals, and rcpthosts all return the correct domain name. [And yes, I did restart svscan.]
So, just to be safe, I delete .maildir, and try again.
| Code: | liz@yuri liz $ rm -rf .maildir
liz@yuri liz $ maildirmake .maildir
liz@yuri liz $ qmail-inject root << EOF
> test root email
> EOF
liz@yuri liz $ qmail-inject postmaster << EOF
> test postmaster email
> EOF
liz@yuri liz $ qmail-inject liz << EOF
> test liz email
> EOF |
Just like the tutorial. Yet mutt says I have no email. I also can't send mail from mutt. A friend recommended I try pine, so I installed that. The reason I can't send mail from mutt is that it has the sender as liz@, whereas on pine I can change that to liz@mydomain.com. [Additionally, in the setup, I changed user-domain to mydomain.com.] Sending mail to external servers works just fine from pine, but I still can't receive mail.
So, obviously something's not working...
Thanks for any suggestions! |
