 |
|
Hi, I have reinstalled whole system and configured mail system with postfix, courier-authlib, courier-imap, amavis,.... Now I'm getting an error in Outlook 2003:
| Code: |
-ERR can't open message file it's gone
|
But if I go directly to the console and use mutt I can see the mails in my maildir.
help please

I had a similar problem on my Exim / Courier setup. I believe the messages got corrupt some
how (the sizes were all 0) and the only way to sort it out was the remove them
with a manual telnet session...
Sorry I can't help any more than that...

I have deleted the user account and the /home dir of the user. Then recreated the account and maildir. Then logged in with outlook to check if all goes well, and it did.
But then I sent a "test" mail to that account from another account and I got the same error back as described earlier. Looks like that when a mail gets delivered to maildir, something goes wrong....
Any suggestions?

Other than sending a test message through and checking the message with telnet before
Outlook there isn't much more I can suggest. It sounds to me like Outlook is
some how corrupting your messages, although why this is happening I don't know.
If you can, put Courier into debug mode and run a couple of tests while watching
/var/log/maillog (or whereever you log those messages to).

Sorry for the delay, had to get out the house for a bit 
Did you do that manual telnet session before or after logging into the account
with Outlook. Either Outlook is corrupting the messages in the spool directory
or there is something else that's breaking it. I see you're using MySQL for storing
your user details, are you also storing mail there ?
There isn't anything wrong with the authentication side of things so it's going
to be something else, either your MTA (unlikely) or perhaps your
client (Outlook, likely)

Looks like it's fixed 
I haven't payed attention to uid & gid in mysql for user authentication. Mysql put some default values in there and it didn't work. I changed them with the ones that users actually have in the system and it is working 
I just hope that this was the real error
