Hi,

I am trying to set up postfix (version 2.1.5-9) under debian sarge
2.6.8-2-686-smp with courier-pop (version 0.47-4sarge4). Now my outlook
indicate there is no problem when i press testing. I can send email
with no problem but when i receive email , i found the mail is left as
/var/mail/username instead and never being pickup by outlook. I also
look up the Maildir (which contain cur, tmp and new) and there is
nothing either.

I look up the pop3d under /etc/courier and main.cf & master.cf under
/etc/postfix but i not sure where i can rectify the above problem (if
its those config got cause such problem at all).

Btw, all the test is done within LAN network. So essentially i just set
up another mail server with different hostname and emailing other
machine within the LAN.

Can someone plz give me a hand on this problem?


thx in advance


chris.

I read this somewhere, but don't blame me if it doesn't work, as
I don't use courier:


To configure Postfix to deliver emails to a user's Maildir*
type these commands:

postconf -e 'home_mailbox = Maildir/'
postconf -e 'mailbox_command ='
postfix restart
