Hi, all.
I am working on prototyping a new mailserver to replace my aging machine
which runs a very old package. I will outline the problem I have below
on a step-by-step basis:
1. I create tables with the setup script as recommended.
2. It asks for information to define the superadmin account. In this
case, I use "pos...@re..." and then set a
password.
3. I log in via the super-admin account.
4. I create an e-mail address within the
"reisen.intranet.ian-justman.com" domain without a problem.
5. I go to "virtual lists" then create a new domain, call it
"test.ian-justman.com". This also happens without incident.
6. I create a new mailbox, "ia...@te..." and give it a
password. Program spits an error at me, saying "E-mail is invalid".
7. I try creating an alias in that domain, says "Alias is invalid".
8. I go into the MySQL monitor and manually insert an e-mail address
"ia...@te..." into the "mailbox" table with the same
format as the entry for "ia...@re...". No
biggie here.
9. I go through the Postfixadmin interface. It sees the e-mail just
fine. I try to create another mailbox, e.g. for my sister in the
"test.ian-justman.com" domain. Same error as before.
I've even tried creating an admin in the "test.ian-justman.com" domain
to no avail.
FYI here: Environment is as follows:
FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE
Apache 1.3.41 (I have my reasons for using Apache 1.3.x)
PHP 4.4.9 (A couple of my clients' sites expect PHP4)
MySQL 5.0.67
Postfixadmin 2.2.1.1
At this point, I'm just trying to make sure the web interface works
before I figure out how the mailservers are going to work (two of these
items sort of needs the other to make working on them worthwhile).
However, for what it's worth, here's what I have installed for the
mailserver side of the equation:
Postfix 2.5.4
Dovecot 1.1.3
All the abovementioned packages are installed from the FreeBSD ports
collection.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any assistance.
