could you explain some more by what you mean by this?

I have 1 domain name how would I use this to administer and host from?

i ask the developer.. i was wrong ...
it is posible to manage the domain IF u just use a subdomain.
so when you own. foobar.org
you need to use mail.foobar.org in postfix as host.. then u can admin foobar.org mail accounts with syscp
i missunderstand the syscp in the first time.
i will update my how-to in 1-2 hours
there are 2-3 more bugs, i need to fix in this how-to

Hi guys

I finally getting a chance to try this out and I am following the how-to thanks Luxus

anyways run into a few issues with the sasl stuff

/etc/init.d/saslauthd start
* Starting saslauthd...
saslauthd[7255] :set_auth_mech : unknown authentication mechanism: pam

so I changed in /etc/conf.d/saslauthd

SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTH_MECH} -a pam"
to be
SASLAUTHD_OPTS="${SASLAUTH_MECH} -a mysql"

and now I get

/etc/init.d/saslauthd start
* Starting saslauthd...
saslauthd[7255] :set_auth_mech : unknown authentication mechanism: mysql

equery uses cyrus-sasl
[ Colour Code : set unset ]
[ Legend : (U) Col 1 - Current USE flags ]
[ : (I) Col 2 - Installed With USE flags ]

U I [ Found these USE variables in : dev-libs/cyrus-sasl-2.1.20 ]
- - berkdb : Adds support for sys-libs/db (Berkeley DB for MySQL)
- - gdbm : Adds support for sys-libs/gdbm (GNU database libraries)
- - ldap : Adds LDAP support (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)

- - debug : Tells configure and the makefiles to build for debugging. Effects vary across packages, but generally it will at least add -g to CFLAGS. Remember to set FEATURES=nostrip too

saslauthd -v
saslauthd 2.1.20
authentication mechanisms: getpwent rimap shadow

I built it with mysql and ssl but it does not show up any ideas

Thanks

Still working trying to get this working

I am having some issues with the maildrop

In order to get it to parse the test command

su -c vmail 'echo maildummy | maildrop -d test@tesdomain.com'

I had to change maildroprc in a few lines

Line 5

logfile "/var/log/maildrop.log" changed to LOGFILE="/var/log/maildrop.log"

but it still doesn't log anything

line 22

MAILDIR = $DEFAULT changed to MAILDIR="$DEFAULT"

Line 23

DELIVERY = $DEFAULT changed to DELIVERY="$DEFAULT"

now when I run the test script I get it creating the users maildir which is good

but I also get the quota warn and one other just wondering if its the same as what you get

WARN: quota string '50000000' not parseable
maildrop: signal 0x06

I have not been able to find anything one the maildrop: signal 0x06 anywhere

it appears to be somewhat working at this point so I am going to try and move on to test the rest of it

Thanks

still battling my way through this

the error about quota is kind of confusing

WARN: quota string '50000000' not parseable
maildrop: signal 0x06

in the logs I see a few things

==> mysql/mysql.log <==
050206 7:50:58 528 Connect syscp@localhost on
528 Init DB syscp
528 Query SELECT email, uid, gid, homedir, maildir, '50000000' FROM mail_users WHERE email = "test@test.com" AND postfix = "Y"
528 Quit

but in the mail_users table there is no entry anywhere for quota or '50000000'

and it appears as if spamd cannot find the local user test@test.com

==> messages <==

Feb 6 07:54:17 whiterhino su(pam_unix)[14584]: session closed for user vmail

if I run

su vmail -c 'echo maildummy | strace maildrop -d test@test.com'

I see in the output of strace an error

open("/home/customers/mailfilter//test@test.com", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

should it not create that folder itself as it does for the regular maildir

I have been doing some searching on the syscp forum but most of it is in german and my german is well obsolete

I also tried to read the isp style how-to but again it is in german

anyways thats where I have got to so far things seem working somewhat except the maildrop stuff

and getting the actual vhost entries in /etc/apache2/conf/vhosts/syscp-vhosts.conf
what should the file permissions be on that file so when adding a domain via syscp it adds it to that files

thanks

i talk with the dev of the maildrop modul
he told me that the quota thing was only a test..
i had the error too but for me everything work
i will update the maildrop section tomorrow (there is a new version of the module)
for the vhost file..
the syscp cronjob is running as root so you don't need to chmod the vhost.conf
i am very tired at the moment .. i will try to help you tomorrow

I run it with apache2, but everytime I change some options like directory access or add a subdomain, I must restart apache!

Is there some workaround for that?

Regards,

Maik

Dear Luxus

I run a website with one domain name. The web server is separated from the mail server. I need to setup a webhosting for our subdomain. If I use SysCP, can I inactiveate the mail server of the SysCP

Thanks in advance.
