Has anyone had any joy getting these to work together not via virtual users method. my LEA has recently deleted all the student emails and setup a new email server for my students i am using a cron that runs getmail to download my students emails for them dovecot with a local static uid & gids connects using squirrelmail to access to these locally downloaded emails, whilst getmail downloads any new emails sent to them. My assumption is that i have setup my local smtp server correctly however i seem to be getting these errors 450 4.1.8 me@emailaddress: Sender address rejected: Domain not found i've been going round in circle's at one time i did have it sending emails to local users only ( i could not send to my home email), but i seem to have lost those settings in my fiddling about. I tried turning on squirrelmails smtp settings to connect to the mail.lea.server and trying to authenticate up however this ,ethod requires the imap username to be user@domain instead of just user. and my users login to squirrelmail with user. i could point squirrelmail straight to mail.lea.server and get them to login with user@domain however all the emails that i have stored for them will be lost. I am sure this is 5 minute job for someone who knows what they are doing alas i am not that person. Many thanks in advance Martin i hope i have sent this email to the correct place this time, and not hijacked any threads. If needs be i'll meet someone in a pub with a wifi connection, buy 'em a beer and fix this live _______________________________________________ Staffslug mailing list Staffslug(a)staffslug.org.uk http://lists.staffslug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/staffslug
