Thank you so much for this post! I’ve tried to set up Postfix+Postfixadmin+Courier+SASL+PostgreSQL on Ubuntu 10.10 for hours now and your solution to use the rimap method (which is way more elegant than PAM) solved all of my problems in an instant!

Thanks again! You saved my day!

Hm I set
$CONF['encrypt'] = ‘cleartext’;
Dunno why it worked, Mailbox Passwords are stored now Plain too. Sux kinda, maybe ill check myself a hardcoded md5 in SQL queries. However, later, i must go on with everything.

Later in furtheron Setup i couldnt btw connect to DB.
It was a “!” (exclamation mark) in the MySql Password.

So: Users passwords in plain text, mine pass no special chars. Born to be root.

After this setup, i took the mailbox create script and stripped/included it in order to allow users of mine System setting up Mailboxes themselfes (finally).
That way i can use all Languages etc from Postfixadmin.
Its working kewl.

Now im going on with Postfix Database Setup, thats the less trivial step i would say.
I mean: Oki Postfix Admin. When i have a Table where i can simply add rows: Im saved from creating mailboxes every day.
Funny what can happen when u try to run a PHP script with Mysql support yey!
Thx for the help!

Flo – do you have APC or similar op-code cache turned on, and it’s been told to not re-check the source code of files? Hence, I’d suggest restarting Apache/the web server.

Failing that, check if config.local.php has an override for $CONF['setup_password'] – perhaps it contains a different one that’s overwriting the above?

Failing that, check out #postfixadmin on irc.freenode.net

OS : debian etch
database : mysql
dovecot

I always got the message
“Setup password not specified correctly
If you want to use the password you entered as setup password, edit config.inc.php and set
$CONF['setup_password'] = ’607cff0fb23fec6012109f2c34ec9738:f73e57a9973b40cedc1eb1fc7178198a313930ec’;”

This guide is based on release 2.3 of Postfixadmin. It’s about the only open source project I contribute to regularly – so I ought to at least make an effort and document it I have translated some part of it into french, but i don't know where to send it. Can you email me the reference, please ?

How to create vmail user and which user id & gid value set in /etc/courier/authdaemonrc

Thanks for this input.

I am currently looking for a way to integrate mailman into a configuration like this (on the Postfix side at least, I have dovecot for IMAP). But all I find searching for mailman and postfixadmin is people trying to figure out the same thing.

Does anyone know a solution?
