Help Neomail doesn't work !!
I've got a raq4. I don't know why it doesn't worg, I installed it from the cobalt pkg page. I can use it to send mails but my inbox is always empty.
Could someone please try and help me !

Here is some detailes you might need to see for your self :
URL : http://www.id01.org/neomail
user : ddd
Password : ddd
E.mail : ddd@id01.org
There are some test E.mails at ddd@id01.org but they don't show up in the inbox, I have to go to www.mail2web.com to check it.

Just 1 more thing, I'm not at home so I can't use FTP, how can I find the path to a site on my server (home/sites/siteXX) I want to find out what the XX are. I've got telnet access but not FTP,

From telnet you can just go up until you get to siteXX for a folder.

Yes but how do I know which site siteXX is?, What I'm looking for is a telnet command which tels me what directory www.domain.com is linked to !
I usually just connect as admin using FTP and when I enter say www.domain.com, it opens say siteXX so I know what XX is, But when I'm not at home I haevn't got access to FTP to do this, could someone who is good with telnet please help me !

change directory to /home/sites and use command ls -l
this shows you all the symlinks in place and includes the site number.

Seems to work fine now. I just did a test (as ddd)- both send and receive. Nice job.

I may get the time to install it on one of my RaQs this weekend.

C'ya,

I found some strange links in the mail system of my Raq4: In /var/spool/mail i have links to like

userxxx -> /home/sites/site4/../../spool/mail/userxxx
useryyy -> /home/sites/site5/../../spool/mail/useryyy

Whowever wrote this hubbab of spaghetti code must have had a severe hangover that day! It would be both easier and more transparent if the link had been made

/var/spool/mail -> /home/spool/mail

Anyway, as I have replaced the standard sendmail with exim (at least i think that's the reason) users on my system have their mailboxes in their user directory - i.e. userxxx and useryyy's mailboxs are actually located in

/home/sites/site4/users/userxxx/inbox
/home/sites/site5/users/useryyy/inbox

so I changed the symlinks in /var/spool/mail like this:

userxxx -> /home/sites/site4/users/userxxx/inbox
useryyy -> /home/sites/site5/users/useryyy/inbox

I then modified the /home/neomail.conf with the following changes:

$mailspooldir = '/var/spool/mail/';
$homedirspools = 'yes';
$homedirspoolname = 'mail/inbox';

This made both pop, imap, alias, forwards and neomail work on my Raq.

Is Neomail with that package placed in the virtual server
from a customer ?
(/home/sites/www.domainname.tld/)

This is sweet. As much as I think NeoMail sucks, it was about time they added SOMETHING.
Here's a question:
Is there any way to NOT have email sent from a virtual host via Neomail include the www.hostingcompanydomain.com in the header? I asked this a while back, and the only answer I got was from Chicken, who said he simply names his machine something else and that takes care of it.
