Hi,
On my Solaris servers I test mail without involving the ISP side.
I use the mail or mail utilities to generate an email that the server
should just send to itself.
Then I watch to see if the server responds and collects it, or gives an
error.
So workflow, mail out to just the server, then does the sendmail accept
it? Does it go into the mqueue? Does it go to /var/spool/imap/user/username
mail box?
Also do you have mail.log and imapd.log to read?
Example:
server thoth user cyrus
mailx -v cyrus@thoth
subject: test1
test1
>Control D<(sends it)
Then I watch to see if the server responds and collects it, or gives an
error.

Subject: not receiving email
Hi,
I'm having big problems getting cyrus to receive emails.
My configuration is
Redhat 7.1
Cyrus 2.0.13
Sendmail 8
Cyrus looks like it's working correctly, I can login, authentication works
ok etc.
I can telnet to Cyrus imap and pop3 ports.
I have used Squirrelmail to create an additional folder which appears ok.
I can use squirrelmail to send mail outwards, but if i reply cyrus doesn't
recieve any e-mail.
it's not even there when i telnet into pop3 and look for it.
If I try sending to myself, that doesn't work either. I have checked with
my ISP that the MX records are set, everything seems fine.
I have tried removing cyrus and installing off an RPM, I still get the
same.
Can anyone help me please? All I can think is that there is something
wrong
with permissions and e-mail isn't being stored?
Thanks,
Steve
