| Hi, i try to use Postfix + Courier on my Debian Sarge as mail server,
but I have some problems.
I've installed:
debian:~# dpkg -l postfix*|grep ii
ii postfix 2.1.5-9 A high-performance mail transport
agent
ii postfix-doc 2.1.5-9 Postfix documentation
ii postfix-tls 2.1.5-9 TLS and SASL support for Postfix
debian:~# dpkg -l courier*|grep ii
ii courier-authda 0.47-4sarge4 Courier Mail Server - Authentication
daemon
ii courier-base 0.47-4sarge4 Courier Mail Server - Base system
ii courier-doc 0.47-4sarge4 Courier Mail Server - Additional
documentati
ii courier-imap 3.0.8-4sarge4 Courier Mail Server - IMAP server
ii courier-imap-s 3.0.8-4sarge4 Courier Mail Server - IMAP over SSL
ii courier-maildr 0.47-4sarge4 Courier Mail Server - Mail delivery
agent
ii courier-pop 0.47-4sarge4 Courier Mail Server - POP3 server
ii courier-pop-ss 0.47-4sarge4 Courier Mail Server - POP3 over SSL
ii courier-ssl 0.47-4sarge4 Courier Mail Server - SSL/TLS Support
ii courier-webadm 0.47-4sarge4 Courier Mail Server - Web-based
administrati
ii couriergraph 0.24-1 Mail statistics RRDtool frontend for
Courier
I've read that Courier only works when Postfix is configured as
Maildir, so I've changed as sugest in manual:
home_mailbox = Maildir/
mail_spool_directory = /var/mail
Other settings are default. I've removed all files in /var/mail and
restart Postfix. Unfortunately Postfix is still creating mailbox plain
files in /var/mail and I've got an error when I try to receive emails
via POP3:
"Maildir: No such file or directory"
Is it anything else I have to do?

When I set up my own mailsystem (using postfix, courier-imap and
maildirs) some time ago, I used the guide given at:
<http://gentoo-wiki.com/ HOWTO_Email...k_
Part_2>
And even though this guide is created for Gentoo, most of it works for
Debian as well...
In this guide the command: 'maildirmake ~/Maildir/' (changed for your
choice of maildir) is used to create a maildir in your
/home/<your_username>/Maildir directory.
