Thank you very much for the responses. That was it. I only had hosts fi=

Thanks again

I'll give you some pointers with that in mind.

That's fine. To start out, it's probably simplest to use system users=20=

(as you've done) and get acquainted with the normal Unix user managemen=
t=20
tools.

Pointer: $HOME is a variable set when you log in, which points at your=20=

home directory. "$HOME" is not the same thing as /home (that =
is, it=20
usually has a value other than "/home").

If you log in as "tester" and 'echo $HOME', it should print &=
quot;/home/tester"

Unix systems are case sensitive, so you'll probably want to log in as=20=

tester and 'mv maildir Maildir' to rename the maildir.

Since you're using system users, you don't need the userdb. Remove that=
=20
to avoid confusion.

Courier won't accept mail for domains that don't resolve in DNS, so=20
"localhost" and "prueba" aren't going to be valid. =
Regardless of=20
whether or not they're in the "locals" file, Courier won't ac=

for them.

What do you mean by your "dns file"? /etc/hosts is not suffic=
ient, if=20
that's what you're referring to. The domain you're using needs to be=20=

set up *properly* in DNS.

If you need to, for testing purposes, install named on the virtual host=
=20
and configure the domain there. Then add 127.0.0.1 to /etc/resolv.conf=20=

(or use the network config tool to add it).

Set up the domain in DNS.
