[satimis]

Hi folks,

Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64
postfix+maildrop+courier+sasl etc.

Take a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier
But the mysql-*.cf file format has changed since Postfix 2.2, so for the format of these files you should refer to http://www.howtoforge.com/fedora_virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier

Hi falko,

Ubuntu-6.06.1-LAMP-server-amd64


Tks for your advice and URLs

According to;
http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier

1 Install Postfix, Courier, Saslauthd, MySQL, phpMyAdmin
This can all be installed with one single command:
apt-get install postfix postfix-mysql postfix-doc mysql-client mysql-server courier-authdaemon courier-authmysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap courier-imap-ssl postfix-tls libsasl2 libsasl2-modules libsasl2-modules-sql sasl2-bin libpam-mysql openssl phpmyadmin (1 line!)

I found following packages not installed yet;

$ sudo apt-get install postfix-mysql postfix-doc courier-authmysql courier-pop courier-pop-ssl courier-imap-ssl postfix-tls libsasl2-modules-sql libpam-mysql phpmyadmin
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Package postfix-tls is a virtual package provided by:
postfix 2.2.10-1ubuntu0.1
You should explicitly select one to install.
E: Package postfix-tls has no installation candidate


Please advise how to proceed. TIA


Edit:
On this network there is no workstation connected. What front-end/GUI package I need to install to send mails instead of running the command line "telnet localhost 25 etc."

Evolution or there are others? TIA
