Hey,

yes it’s working – maybe you have a problem with my self-signed certificate on the SVN server?

Cheers

Hi mathias,

thanks for your quick reply.
I don’t know if the connection string is correct.. how can i check it?
I only know that dbuser, dbname, dbpass and other variables for connection are ok…

Hey Stefano,

yeah, the DB structure changed from the Etch to the Lenny ISPMail tutorial, so some changes in the db queries are necessary. I’m still running this setup and didn’t have time yet to write a follow-up tutorial.

To the script issue: it’s using the standard PEAR_Db class, which should work fine, db.inc.php is just a simple wrapper around the class. Are you sure your connection string is correct?

Regards,
Mathias

I’m sorry.. the name of the table was workng… in the new tutorial it is “email” and not “user” anymore. So you only need to substitute the
“virtual_users.user,” with “virtual_users.email,

Thanks for your great tutor.
I am using this method for my server now and managing more than 10 accounts so far.

Recently, I found a problem when I try to use postfix as an smtp server in the same server.

Say, there are some email accounts below I am handling in this server:
andy@gmail.com
peter@gmail.com
mary@gmail.com

When I send email to andy@gmail.com via the smtp server in the same server, the email can reach immediately without going to gmail official server.

That’s great with this kind of instand action.

However, when I send email, via the smtp server, to other account other than the account i manage in this server, say watermelon@gmail.com, I got an error message something like:
“User unknown in virtual mailbox table.”

If I send to watermelon@hotmail.com, there is no problem.

In my understand, after the setting, my server treat “gmail.com” is my own domain. For all the email sending via my server to gmail.com, it will directly deliver to the user in my server.

This make me headache.
At this moment, I am not able to send email via my server to any other friends’ gmail account.

Are there any way to solve this problem?

Great Tutorial Dude!

I was lookin’ for a fetchmail-mysql-backend, but your way is nice, too.

This made my day :-)

It is possible, but (as you mentioned) the SQL schema has changed in the Lenny tutorial. I’m still using the old schema on my Lenny server, so I can’t really tell you what you have to change. However, the scripts used to generate the config files are quite simple, so you should be able to change them easily to match your setup. I guess the easiest solution would be to update the views used in this tutorial to reflect the new DB schema.
