Installation and Upgrades / How to browse email directory?

« on: June 18, 2009, 06:33:26 pm »

Grr. sudo is starting to tick me off.

Can someone please explain to me how to browse my email directory? /var/vmail/jabster.net/john "sudo cd john" does not work. And I can only login to a console as one user.

I am probably going to symlink that directory onto another local drive, and I'd like to be able to browse it (for backups, etc).

Or should I just activate the root account and be done with it?

thanks,
john

Installation and Upgrades / fetchmail has no installation candidate?

« on: June 18, 2009, 06:15:43 pm »

Hi.

I'm trying to install fetchmail, but apt-get is telling me that fetchmail is not available, but it referred to by another package, meaning fetchmail is missing, obsoleted or available from another source?

Can someone tell me how to get fetchmail installed? I'm running a fresh install of 1.0-1.

thanks,
john

Hi.

I have a fresh install of ebox, and have email--IMAP--up and running. I have an inbox, but I can not create any subfolders using kontact/kmail.

Here's my error:

What do I need to check or change here?

Installation and Upgrades / grub install question

« on: June 17, 2009, 05:54:50 pm »

Hi.

I'm installing the latest ebox, and all has been fine up until this point:
Unable to install GRUB in /dev/hdX
Executing 'grub-install /dev/hdX failed.
This is a fatal error

After pulling up a console and looking around, I figured out that I need to use /dev/sda, not hda.

could someone please explain why this is? I have always thought that hda was for IDE drives and sda for for SCSI/SATA drives (or IDE cd-roms).

Am I wrong, or is ebox using some sort of scsi emulation for hard drives too? Or are all HDs sdX now? Something else I'm not aware of?

thanks,
john

Installation and Upgrades / Install From A USB Key?

« on: June 02, 2009, 06:04:29 pm »

Hi.

Is it possible to install ebox from a USB key? I can do it with Mandriva, but need to do it with an ebox machine as well. Do I need a specific boot image for ebox?

I have no more blank CDs, and don't plan on buying any more. My main reason for having blank CD was for linux installs, but now that I can do it with a USB key why buy more? :-)

thanks,
john

Installation and Upgrades / Max file size?

« on: April 07, 2009, 05:01:32 pm »

Hi.

Can someone please tell me the max filesize on ebox? (ie: The block size on ext3).

Before I install a new server I need to know this. Clarkconnect has a max filesize of 16G. Grrr.

thanks,
john


p.s. Since someone is bound to ask.....HD files are quite large.

Installation and Upgrades / setting up ebox/postifx with a relayhost

« on: February 04, 2008, 03:24:18 pm »

Hi.

Is there a way to setup ebox with the necessary information to relay mail thru my ISPs SMTP server?

I added all this information to my postfix main.cf file:

Code: [Select]

relayhost = [smtp.sbcglobal.yahoo.com]
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd
smtp_sasl_security_options =
And created the sasl_passwd file and postmapped it. "postfix reload", and it worked just fine.

Then I rebooted, and main.cf no longer has the relayhost and smtp_sasl information in there.

How can I permanently set that up?

Thanks,
john
