Yes I know something about mail server because Postfix is now running but it is not my speciality
I'm sure you do, I guess shouldn't have even mentioned your post. You aren't a Nobel laureate are you?
There are people yhat know more about e-mail server than I and that's why I send my question to the list, not to launch a debate about "should I buy Email server III or not": it looks too muck like MS policy.
Because we read through the docs you can't find, create a full ldap/imap/pop mailserver and ask for money for it we're MS now?
If you want me to send you all my logs and config files, OK, just tell me which ones. I am running inetd.conf if you want to know. I did not have time yet to learn xinetd (too much time spent trying to find a manual about cyrus-imap).
My point was that you didn't include any of the information in the first place...what an I supposed to guess?
I solved my problem with mu inability to read my Mailbox. I just changed START_CYRUS="yes" to START_CYRUS="no" in /etc/rc.config because it was the Cyrus implementation that causes problems of password reading (which problem I don't know) even if I typed rccyrus stop. I found where the problem was after making a telnet 110.
I saw that...it suggests that maybe you were starting the daemon twice (once from inetd and once from the cyrus init script) but I don't know since I couldn't see the logs or inetd.conf.
Sorry I don't have enough pocket money to buy Email server III.
I don't either, but whether your boss spends the money on a "canned" solution (Sendmail has a very nice one, ours, or whatever) or pays you for 20 hours to build one yourself he's still spending the money.
Not easy to convince a majority of MS or Apple users to try Linux when you are the only person to know something (even little) about servers configuration.
I don't know about MS, but I don't see how setting up something like this on OSX will be any easier. -- -ckm
