I plan to use two virtual domains and as many users for each domain with postfix, dovecot, squirrelmail, postfix admin, and mysql on openSuse 11.2. How best can you help me? I am going to use dovecot v2.0. Thank you. # Edmonds
I have unzipped Dovecot v2.0.2 and configured with *--with-sql=yes --with-mysql* *make* & *make install* run well and throw files around. /usr/local/etc/ has no files but another folder dovecot/ with only the README file I see the other files are in /usr/local/share/doc/dovecot/ The last I tried dovecot was with v1.0.13 and I would like help to achieve the set-up as described below.

This is a great list to get help with specific issues/questions/problems with dovecot, but your general description was way too vague for any kind of sensible answers... Using postfixadmin+mysql to manage user accounts is definitely a good thing though, getting both postfix and dovecot to use your mysql backend should be fairly easy... the postfix list is the place to ask for help with postfix, and this is the place to ask *specific* questions about dovecot related issues. -- Best regards, Charles
Charles, I am new to this v2.* I was used to a different layout for v1.* and that is why I am here. Basically, I am starting from scratch. I have untarred v2.0.2, ran *./configure --with-sql=yes* --with-mysql , make , make install.

Charles, I am new to this v2.* I was used to a different layout for v1.* and that is why I am here. Basically, I am starting from scratch. I have untarred v2.0.2, ran *./configure --with-sql=yes --with-mysql* , * make* , *make install*. Before after that, I could find my files in /usr/local/etc/ which is not the case now. The files are in /usr/local/etc/dovecot/ and /usr/local/share/doc/dovecot/ I have copied the *example-config*s to /usr/local/etc/dovecot/ but literally every change I make as of v1.* is not valid. I wish to use protocals IMAP & POP3 then authenticate with shadow and passwd for system users and mysql for the virtual users. There is not much I can do or lie to you. # Edmonds On Tue, Sep 21, 2010 at 3:32 PM, Charles Marcus <CMarcus at media-brokers.com>wrote:> On 2010-09-21 5:50 AM, Edmonds Namasenda <namasenda at gmail.com> wrote: > > I have unzipped Dovecot v2.0.2 > > Well, you should at least start out with the latest version (2.0.3)... > > > The last I tried dovecot was with v1.0.13 and I would like help to > achieve > > the set-up as described below. > > All you provided was an extremely general description of what you want > to do. > > This is a great list to get help with specific issues/questions/problems > with dovecot, but your general description was way too vague for any > kind of sensible answers... > > Using postfixadmin+mysql to manage user accounts is definitely a good > thing though, getting both postfix and dovecot to use your mysql backend > should be fairly easy... the postfix list is the place to ask for help > with postfix, and this is the place to ask *specific* questions about > dovecot related issues. > > -- > > Best regards, > > Charles >-- Thank you and kind regards, I.P.N Edmonds ICT Practitioner & Consultant Cel: +256 (71/70) 227 3374 (Uganda) +257 79 11 2998 (Burundi) P.O.
