[Crsemail-developer] newbie ? referring to mail.conf entries

[Steve S. <sn...@si...>]

I'm having difficulty receiving external email and perhaps I don't have =
all the necessary mail.conf entries.  SMTP seems to work fine as I can =
send email both to local and remote users from within crsmail.  I had an =
existing email server (SLMail) running on the same box which worked fine =
so all the DNS entries should still be correct.  I have uninstalled it =
and AFAIK the calvin mail server should drop right in its place, =
accepting all the mail routed to it..

Here are some entries which I have questions about:
(using the config file for users currently)

# By specifying user here, is this the username of the user plugin we =
are specifying or is this just for POP3 access?
Users.user=3Dsammy,test,
Users.user=3Dgeorge,test,

# These seems straight forward, since george maps to a Users.user entry =
his mail will be both forwarded and accessible from CRSmail.  But since =
bill does not have a Users.user entry his mail will only be forwarded?
smtp.plugin.ForwardMail.user=3Dbill,bi...@ho...,
smtp.plugin.ForwardMail.user=3Dgeorge,ge...@ne...

# is this even an valid entry ?
smtp.plugin.Users.user=3Dsammy,

# If this is the case, it is confusing to me why I set the local user =
entries through "USER.user" instead of "smtp.plugin.Users.user". =20

I am curious if I have misconfigured something so that mail routed to =
"sammy" gets rejected by CRSmail.


If this is the wrong place to post this question, my sincere apologies.  =
I just installed crs this evening and was browsing some of the source.  =
I have some neat ideas for augmenting CRSmail functionality.  It looks =
as if CRSmail isn't multi-homed yet, either.  Is that something that =
anyone is working on?

TIA,
