You're right - thanks for the post!
I found the error yesterday, too - but I have searched a while... ;-)
Another thing: it seems, that my configuration ignores the "recycle:maxsize" parameter (also files over the specified size are copied into the .recycle folder).
Do you have any suggestions to that?

Just another hint: for german characters it is normally charset 850, but with the charset 858 you can also use the Euro-symbol - it works!

Thanx for your reply - good to hear that.
I'm using 1.0rc1 or 0.12.99 - I thought this is the newest version?!

Ahh - and to the admins...
Nevertheless I would like to have an built-in fetchmail module. I was looking at the SME-server projekt, too - but I like eBox much more! Together with the smtp auth function (which already has been announced) it would make the eBox a very complete solution (also as a simple and fast home server).
Thanx for the good work again!

Installation and Upgrades / Force log purge produces error '...must be a positive number of hours'
« on: January 06, 2009, 01:11:01 am »
If I want to use the function "force log purge" (logs, configuration, force log purge) I get an error message
"Lifetime parameter must be a positive number of hours"
The chosen period (one hour ... one day ... ninety days) has no effect - the error occures every time. I'm using eBox 1.0rc1. Any idea?

EBOX INSTALLATION AS MAIL GATEWAY WITH SMTP AUTHENTICATION AND FETCHMAIL
After I have read the documenation and many many posts in this forum, I finally get my eBox System
to work running as mail gateway. Because it was much work and I needed a lot of time, I wrote this
little "tutorial" for all people, who would like to do the same...
I am NOT very familar with linux, so use this as a tutorial for all newbies and dummys ;-)
We use the following users and passwords:
eBox Admin: eboxadmin (password: adminpass)
eBox User: eboxuser (password: userpass)
Your providers settings:
Mail adress: eboxuser@yourdomain.com (password: mailpass)
Provider smtp-server: smtp.yourdomain.com
Provider pop3-server: pop.yourdomain.com
If you can't select something during the configuration try to save the changes first, i.e. if you have generated a new virtual mail domain, this domain will be not available for user mail account until you have saved the changes.
Oh, and use all instructions always without the ""
And now: let's go!
1. INSTALLING EBOX
Install eBox via eBox Installer (here: 1.0 RC 1 with Ubuntu 8.04)
During the installation generate a user i.e. "eboxadmin" with password "adminpass"
Don't allow login as "root" (because this is not nessessary and a security risk)
2. SETUP EBOX
Set up your ebox-Server with networks adresses and anything else what you need. Help for that
can be found in the documentation and here in the forum. If your eBox is running smootherly we
can go further setting up the mail gateway.
eBox administration -> Objects
Generate a new object i.e. "local_pc"
Add all your PCs as members to this object
eBox administration -> Mail -> Virtual mail domains
Add a new domain "localhost"
eBox administration -> Mail -> General
Tab: "Mail server options"
Authentication:
TLS for SMTP server: yes
Require authentication: yes
Options:
Smarthost to send mail: "smtp.yourdomain.com" (smtp-server of your provider)
Mail retrieval services:
POP3 service enabled: yes
IMAP service enabled: no
SSL Support: no
Tab: Relay policy for network objects
Add new object, here "local_pc" and set the option "Allow relay" ("yes")
eBox administration -> Users -> Add user
Add a new user, i.e. "eboxuser" with passwort "userpass"
eBox administration -> Users -> Edit user
Edit your new user and create a mail-account, i.e. "eboxuser" with domain "localhost" ("eboxuser@localhost")
3. SETUP SMTP AUTHENTICATION
At this point the web-administration ends, now you have to do the rest manually (console)...
Console login
Login as "eboxadmin" with passwort "adminpass"
Edit /usr/share/ebox/stubs/mail/main.cf.mas
Type "cd /usr/share/ebox/stubs/mail"
Type "sudo nano main.cf.mas
Look for this line:
Right after this line you must add:
Press Ctrl-X and save the changes.
Create /etc/postfix/smtp_pass
Type "cd /etc/postfix"
Type "sudo nano smtp_pass"
Add the line
Press Ctrl-X and save the changes.
Postmap smtp_pass
Type "sudo postmap /etc/postfix/smtp_pass"
Restart mail / eBox
Now you should restart ebox mail module or just reboot your server.
Restart mail module:
Type "sudo /etc/init.d/ebox mail restart"
OR
Reboot server:
Type "sudo reboot"
4. SETUP FETCHMAIL
Install fetchmail
Type "sudo apt-get install fetchmail"
This installs the fetchmail package on your server.
Setup fetchmail
Type "cd /home/eboxuser"
Type "nano .fetchmailrc"
Add the following lines:
Press Ctrl-X and save the changes.
Type "chmod 600 .fetchmailrc"
Testing fetchmail
Type "fetchmail"
If it runs without errors your setup should be ok.
Setup fetchmail scheduling
Type "cd /etc"
Type "sudo nano crontab"
At the end add the following new line
Press Ctrl-X and save the changes.
5. SETUP E-MAIL CLIENTS
In your eMail-client you have to use the following settings
eMail-adress: eboxuser@yourdomain.com
username: eboxuser@localhost
password: userpass
pop3-server (mail in): the ip or name of your ebox-server, Port: 110
smtp-server (mail out): the ip or name of your ebox-server, Port: 25, server requires athentication
6. FINISH
That's all - you just have to test your mail settings.
I hope this helps - good luck!

...ahh, I forget another point:
You have to install eBox using the expert-mode and choose LILO as bootmanager. Grub seems to get confused with the libata-option.
And now everything's running smootherly

Installation and Upgrades / Installation on CF-card / "DMA off" boot option
« on: December 26, 2008, 01:39:03 am »
Hello guys!
This is just for all the people who had problems with Ubuntu and dma-modes during boot.
I've had a problem with the dma-modes during the installation. I'm using a PC with an ide to cf-adaptor. A compact flash card (2gb) should be the "system disk" of my eBox (saving energy, low noise...). Although the cf-card is not capable of DMA - which is disabled in the BIOS, too - Ubuntu seems to switch on the dma-mode at boot time causing errors. The old boot option ide=nodma and other variations like hda=nodma, hd0=0, sda=nodma do not work anymore.
SOLVED!
Using the boot option libata.dma=3 solves my problem!
(switches off the DMA-mode only for cf-cards)
Good Luck!
