Dear Sir,
Excellent “howto” to configure mailserver.
I have configured Postfix & Dovecot on RHEL4 as explained by you. Both are working fine. But when I use squirrel mail, on entering username/password I get the error “Unknown user or password incorrect”.
Please suggest what to do next.
Regards

A nice clean howto. Is there a way to make the ‘Add/Remove Applications’ tool install from a directory rather than a CD? I’ve copied the contents of the RHEL4U7 DVD to a directory and would like to install packages from there.
