I'm setting up a replacement mail server on a CentOS 5.1 box. The dovecot
version is 1.0.rc15. 'dovecot -n' returns
# /etc/dovecot.conf
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap-login
login_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login
mail_executable(default): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(imap): /usr/libexec/dovecot/imap
mail_executable(pop3): /usr/libexec/dovecot/pop3
mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/lib/dovecot/imap
mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/lib/dovecot/pop3
auth default:
passdb:
driver: pam
userdb:
driver: passwd
I can telnet localhost 143 and log in.
I have given kmail the address of the server and an Inbox has been created,
but no option to create sub-folders. If I attempt to send a message kmail
freezes. Clearly something's wrong.
I am using configuration files from the old server, modified only to the new
server details. I have alias and transport hashes. What else should I be
looking at?
Your MTA. Your references to alias and transport hashes makes me
suspect that it is Postfix.
Dovecot has nothing to do with sending mail.
