Hi Consultant.

Thanks for your reply.

I have configured my mail server as per your guide in CentOs. I have configured virtual domains. It's really wonderfull. but i have an bad experience with ldap config and vacation plugin add on.

As after configuring my squirrelmail is not showing any address either not showing any type of error. i didn't understand the meaning of your section. Popluate your directory…

To populate your directory, create a file similar to the one below and import it using ldapadd or better yet, use a GUI tool like JXplorer, a Java based LDAP browser.

dn: ou=People,dc=acme,dc=local
ou: People
objectClass: organizationalUnit

dn: uid=bugsbunny,ou=People,dc=acme,dc=local
uid: bugsbunny
cn: Bugs Bunny
displayName: Bugs Bunny
givenName: Bugs
sn: Bunny
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
userPassword: password
mail: bugsbunny@acme.local

I only want address book via ldap with virtual users no other things. as i also have to do dovecot configuration ??

And vacation i have configured my sql alias file but it's not working as i have already using mysql alias file of virtual users but it's not working. didn't undstand these lines.

If adding the vacation domain conflicts with your existing virtual_alias_maps, use recipient_bcc_maps instead and replace /etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf with the lines below.

host = localhost
user = postfix
password = your_password
dbname = postfix
table = vacation
select_field = email
where_field = email
additional_conditions = and active = '1'
result_format = %u@vacation.invalid

after configuring this i always get a bad reciepent mail from user. invalid host or destination. this error.

 The mail system

<1#adilfahim.com@vacation.invalid> (expanded from <1@adilfahim.com>): Host or
    domain name not found. Name service error for name=vacation.invalid type=A:
    Host not found

Kindly tell me where i have mistaken.

Regards

AdilCry

Hi adil,

First, where do you plan to maintain your email user list? In MySQL? In LDAP?

Hi Consultant.

I am new on linux. well i have configured everything as per your guide and also create postfixadmin via sql. & it's working.

This is my first installation.
You tell which is the easy method to maintain users ?? Mysql or Ldap ? & also tell me which is easy to take backup and restore in future if there is any failure.

If you are already using LDAP or Active Directory to maintain your users, then use it so you won't have to maintain two sets of user list. Otherwise use MySQL.

Previously i was not maintaining any user list either in ldap or mysql. This is  purelly a new setup (no old users no mysql aur no ldap)and also confiruged mysql for virtual users as per your guide. i just want to know how to take backup and restore of these mysql users and virtual domains for any future bad situtaion.

regarding ldap i only need ldap address book in my squirrelmail & outlook only. for this if i need to maintain my user list in ldap then i will surely choose this option & maintain my users in ldap.

Can mysql users can't come in ldap address book ???

so i have 2 queries now:

1. for ldap address book need to be maintain users in ldap or mysql users will work ??

2. Backup & restore process of mysql virtual domains & users, which we have created via postfixadmin ??

Pls provide the details.

Thanks

In that case use LDAP.

1. SquirrelMail can use a MySQL addressbook but Outlook can't.

2. For backup and restore, just backup your Postfixadmin mysql database.

You are no longer going to use Postfix Admin because it is for MySQL. I suggest you use 389 Directory Server which includes a GUI client for maintaining the user list.

Hello,

Getting error while installing from the above steps.

Public key for 389-admin-console-doc-1.1.4-1.el5.noarch.rpm is not installed

and after that command also not working setup-ds-admin.pl

I have already CentOS 5.4

After this setup should i configure my postfix & dovecot by this 389 ldap server for accessing the ldap address book and also which user i will create in 389 it will automatically logged in my email clients no use to create system users ?

Sorry, the problem is resolved.  I was not reading the warning message at the top.

1. install epel-release

http://download.fedora.redhat……lease.html

2. yum install 389-ds

Best,

-Tim
