What a way to welcome myself to the group! But with that, the mailserver crashed (HD fail) and the backups from last night were in tact. Problem is the old os was a RH9 (I know) system, built from source, etc. The new box is staged (CentOS5), postfix installed via YUM and the config was then compared. They were using virtual domains/users, so that part of the config was moved and looks like this;
disable_mime_output_conversion = yes strict_mime_encoding_domain = yes maildrop_destination_recipient_limit = 1 vacation_destination_recipient_limit = 1 virtual_mailbox_domains = cdb:/etc/postfix/virtdomains virtual_mailbox_base = /mail virtual_mailbox_maps = cdb:/etc/postfix/virtmailboxes virtual_uid_maps = static:508 virtual_gid_maps = static:508 virtual_minimal_uid = 100 virtual_alias_maps = cdb:/etc/postfix/virtaliases virtual_transport = maildrop transport_maps = cdb:/etc/postfix/virttrans smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks check_client_access cdb:/etc/postfix/popb4smtp check_relay_domains #smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, check_client_access cdb:/etc/postfix/popb4smtp, reject_rbl_client replays.ordb.org, reject_rbl_client bl.spamcop.net smtpd_client_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, check_client_access cdb:/etc/postfix/popb4smtp Now in the /etc/postfix folder, those virtdomain/virtusers files were put there, the mynetworks IPs, etc. are all set. A start on postfix and no errors. They use some PHP webmail front end, debugging up and a test login (forced fail since I don't have a valid user/pass) I saw this in the apache log; grep: /etc/dtpasswd: No such file or directory [Fri Mar 18 13:01:36 2011] [error] [client 1.1.1.1] PHP Warning: fsockopen() [<a href='function.fsockopen'>function.fsockopen</a>]: unable to connect to localhost:143 (Connection refused) in /var/www/html/ webmail.simpedia.com/functions/imap_general.php on line 172, referer: http://webmail.siahou.net/src/login.php grep: /etc/dtpasswd: No such file or directory I don't have that /etc/dpasswd file anywhere, but seeing 143 (IMAP) refusing, I installed dovecot via YUM since I know he's an IMAP server and rehitting the page, login, still got the dpasswd file, but the 143 refused is now gone. On extracting the backups, I do see a userdb file which I can cat and looks like my user info; example; *supp...@domain.com systempw=fwsNTHmHTI1t.|uid=509|mail=/mail/ domain.com/support|home=/home/maildrop|gid=509* Now I need to have the following; 1. The server back where the users can login and get their mail. 2. Know how to add / delete users (not sure if the userdb is a backup, etc. since the config says to use the cdb file) 3. Testing. Comparing to mysql, can I connect locally via command line, test login, etc.? Once I have 2 working, I can use a 3rd party client, but as of now, I don't even know if new mail is being recieved, etc. as paths like /mail/mail.domain doesn't exist. Since this is my 1st post, I may be leaving out something, feel free to let me know what (how to get it) and I will provide. Thanks to all for reading and bearing with a new user.
