 Posted: Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:25 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] server Rebuild qmail/vpopmail/imap not working |
 |
|
I am hosting a server at RackSpace and want to upgrade to their NextGen server. After some trial and error, I found their automatic upgrade procedure does not work for Gentoo, and the recommended process is to rebuild everything from their new default Gentoo image.
I was able to migrate apache and mysql without a problem, however the email side of the equation is being a pain in the posterior.
On the older server, I have qmail, vpopmail, courier-imap, courier-authlib, qmailadmin and squirrelmail living happily together.
I tried to follow http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/qmail-howto.xml as I have done in the past, including any tweaks to configurations I put in place to get the old server running. I was not able to get courier working, so I am trying dovecot for imap connectivity as recommended by http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Qmail#dovecot
After tweaking some (primarily setting the password_query and user_query to
| Code: |
user_query = \
SELECT CONCAT(pw_name, '@', pw_domain) AS username, \
pw_passwd AS cryptpw, \
pw_passwd AS password, \
'' AS clearpw, \
'89' AS uid, \
'89' AS gid, \
pw_dir AS home, \
CONCAT(pw_dir, '/.maildir') AS maildir, \
'' AS quota, \
pw_gecos AS fullname, \
'disablewebmail=0,disablepop3=0,disableimap=0' AS options \
FROM vpopmail \
WHERE \
pw_name = '%n' \
AND \
pw_domain = '%d';
|
which is the hack I had put into place in my old courier-authlib configuration. I was able to pass authentication in squirrelmail, but it does not show any emails or folders for my account. I tried /var/vpopmail/bin/vpopmail-Maildir-dotmaildir-fix.sh both ways but neither helped.
To the best of my knowledge, here are the packages I have installed which are relevant to this issue:

My key problems are:
1) svscan does not listen on port 25 and pass to qmail 
2) qmailadmin will not accept postmaster password
3) squirrelmail does not display and emails or subdirectories from my vpopmail structure
Any additional information I should provide, and any suggestions on what I should change next?
Regards,

It was a permissions issue in /var/vpopmail/domains
Still seeking advice on other issues. Thanks for any help.
