Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, ...

[mho]

Hello there.

I have a serious problem. I'm trying to make this setup on a debian etch (your perfect setup guide..)

First of all I tried apt-get install ... but it seems like the courier-authmysql is renamed as another name, courier-libauth-mysql or something related.

Then I tried the aptitude install wayish. This worked first time. Got the blue screen, (setup) and the install was happening.

But when the install tries to setup courier-pop and pop-ssl, it comes with a failure.

Starting Courier POP3 server:bind: Address already in use
ll_daemon_start: Resource temporarily unavailable
invoke-rc.d: initscript courier-pop, action "start" failed.
dpkg: fejl under behandling af courier-pop (--configure):
underproces post-installation script returnerede afslutningsstatus 1
dpkg: afhængighedsproblemer forhindrer konfiguration af courier-pop-ssl:
courier-pop-ssl afhænger af courier-pop, men:
Pakken courier-pop er ikke sat op endnu.
dpkg: fejl under behandling af courier-pop-ssl (--configure):
afhængighedsproblemer - efterlader den ukonfigureret
Der opstod fejl under behandlingen:
courier-pop
courier-pop-ssl


* In english, this says that the courier-pop isn't configuret. I then tries apt-get install courier-pop courier-pop-ssl but this give me the same arror as above and this one.
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


My netstat -a -n says:

I'm really lost right now, tried google but with no luck.

Can/would anyone help my out, I hope the above information is good enough or else ask for more.

Have a nice weekend.

it seems like your are already running another pop3 server via inetd you possibly need to disable that before reconfiguring.

[mho]

I'm not so deep into linux, could you tell me howto find that pop3 server.

I found a Qmail device, but used apt-get remove to .. remove it. It's not my server, and the owner dosen't know which mailserver is running twice.
Either do I.

Give me a little clue please :-)

Thanks for quick answer.

Run apt-get update and try to install Courier again. If that doesn't help - what's in /etc/apt/sources.list?

[mho]

Well, I tried something else. Removed something called php-auth. After that, courier-pop and pop-ssl started to configuring.

I think I am at the right path now, telnet localhost pop3 works now and the last chapter in the guide, about the list of 250's - this works also very nice.

Thx for quick answers and a very well written guide.

Hav a nice day.
