courier-mta

courier-mta

[Alex Snow]

Hi all. I'm planning to build courier-mta on my box to replace sendmail. 
I have one question before I start: will mutt work with courier? I know 
it uses the local mta to send email but will courier work?

Courier can emulate sendmail, so as long as you have a link where mut
expects to find it, it should work fine. Generally in /usr/sbin/sendmail or
/usr/lib/sendmail.

Another way to do it is make a link in /usr/sbin called sendmail to point
to the real sendmail in /usr/lib/courier/bin/sendmail. Or is it sbin? I
don't remember at the moment.

Is there anything better about courier, that might be of great note?

That is what I was talking about. Sorry if I wasn't clear. I believe the
courier installation may even do this for you, though I'm not sure.

Alex and I haven't started using it, but as far as reading about it it
looks very good. It includes a webmail cgi script that offers webmail
access, an imap server, pop3 server, and an ESMTP server. It also supports
different types of authentication such as PAM. It can also make use of
Modssl by having the webmail server use an extension to it. This makes it
so passwords can be sent over SSL. I would say this MTA is a good
replacement for Sendmail
and exim.

[Alex Snow]

Hi. Thanks for the info. One more question: how would one set up mutt 
to use maildirs instead of the usual /var/spool/mail boxes?

It's got a shitload of features like built-in webmail, mailing list 
support, a web administration, etc.

Re: courier-mta

[Alex Snow]

besides, sendmail is dropping in popularity. while it used to have a 
huge portion of the market it's now dropped to somewhere around 50% of 
the mail servers.

Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?

Re: courier-mta

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi all.

I lost the original messages to which I am replying to, so I'm doing
it below in one go.

First, somebody asked where you can get the glibc patch for qmail.

1. Go to
http://www.qmail.org

2. Select a mirror close to you.

3. Search for "glibc", that should take you to the 517th link.

Second, somebody asked how you get mutt to read Maildir mailboxes.

In my /etc/profile under slackware I have the following, since my
entire system has Maildirs in the user's home directories.

#set mail options
export MAIL="$HOME/Maildir"
#done
 
Now, assuming all your users have their mailboxes in
/home/user/Maildir, mutt will open that on startup.

Hth.

Greg
