Courier Imap with Vpopmail + Squirrelmail
I can’t count how many mail server installed by me. From the start learning howto install and configure mail server I use qmail, that why all of mail server that I install is Qmail.
Standard Installation is :
Qmail
Vpopmail (sometimes with mysql database to store mail account)
Ezmlm-idx
qmailadmin
courier imap
squirrelmail
The First Third is never have a big problem to install. The last two that sometimes hold me for a long time.
Squirrellmail need imap server. From various imap server available my choice is couirer the reason is simple, i ‘ve succed with this so i think wasting time to try another.
But, this not mean I never try another imap. The default imap came with slackware, failed to use with squirrell and vpopmail. Imap came with redhat also have same result, fail.
Find out what really happen.
First authdaemond must be installed seperately.
Now authdaemon have stand alone startup call “authdaemond” usually locate in :
/usr/local/sbin/authdaemond
Need to modify : /usr/local/etc/authlib/authdaemonrc to single auth method :
authmodulelist=”authvchkpw”
or you have weird error while try to login to webmail when no user availabe, if i’m not wrong the error like this :
“dropped by imap”
