Give any thing ? if so did you run the squirrelmail setup script and check the server settings. If not check why your imap server is not running. Also check the permissions on the squirrelmail directory as far as your web server is concerned. Check apache error logs and stuff

[jamesbond]

i have checked permissions for squirrel mail......& i have given 777 permissions. Still i am having errror ........................


But i am not able logging using telnet

telnet 192.168.0.201 143
Trying 192.168.0.201...
telnet: connect to address 192.168.0.201: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

but normal telnet is working......

telnet 192.168.0.201

looks like your imap server is not running so you need to fix that.

oh of course dont forget firewall issues maybe depending on your setup and try
telnet localhost 143 rather than 192.168.0.201 just out of interest

I use bsd so can't help you much further if your imapd server is not running
good luck :)

[jamesbond]

ok thx.....

i followed perfect setup fedora 5

please help me

[falko]

Do you want to connect using IMAP or POP3? For IMAP you must open port 143 in your firewall and probably change /etc/dovecot.conf.

[EL7oot]

i want to use pop3 so the users be able to connect to server through Ms.outlook or any other program using pop3 protocol

and SquirrelMail as webmail interface

is this possible ????

thanx

[falko]

i want to use pop3 so the users be able to connect to server through Ms.outlook or any other program using pop3 protocol

Yes, sure. Which distribution do you use?

[EL7oot]

i followed perfect setup for Fedora 5

Did you enable IMAP in /etc/dovecot.conf?

[EL7oot]

yes
this my /etc/dovecot.conf *

# Protocols we want to be serving:
# imap imaps pop3 pop3s
#protocols = imap imaps pop3
protocols = imap pop3
is this correct ??
-------------------------------------
this opened ports from ISPconfig Local Portscanner
Port 21 (tcp) is open (ftp)!
Port 22 (tcp) is open (ssh)!
Port 25 (tcp) is open (smtp)!
Port 53 (tcp) is open (domain)!
Port 80 (tcp) is open (http)!
Port 81 (tcp) is open (ISPConfig)!
Port 110 (tcp) is open (pop3)!

thx

[falko]

Looks ok. If your firewall doesn't block ports 110 and 143, your users should be able to use POP3 and IMAP.

[EL7oot]

but this is my output of telnet command

[root@dwc /]# telnet localhost 25

[falko]

You said you followed the Perfect Setup in which Postfix gets installed, and now I see that you use Sendmail:

220 dwc.com.eg ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.5/8.13.5; Wed, 14 Feb 2007 20:34:48 +0200

So I guess you used your own setup?

[EL7oot]

i'm beginner to linux systims so i don't know how to install any thing by my self

now i can't start postfix

[root@dwc ~]# service postfix start
Starting postfix: [FAILED]
-------------------------------------------------------

thx

[martinfst]

That's because you have installed / activated sendmail. Sendmail and Postfix are mutual exclusive on the same server.

Remove sendmail. yum remove sendmail

[falko]

i'm beginner to linux systims so i don't know how to install any thing by my self

But the PErfect Setup shows everything you have to do...? :confused:

[EL7oot]

really it's perfect

i know that

but i dont know how this problem happend

now i have uninstalles sendmail but i still cant start postfix

i think i'll install a new systim

thanx falko
and many many thanx for you

peace .....
