Installing 3.2.3 on debian 9, postgres 9.6.17
WHY WHY WHY! is the documentation STILL so incomplete? Why hasn't anyone p=
ut a COMPLETE minimum working example of master.cf, main.cf, sql-recipients=
.cf, sql-virtual_mailbox_domains.cf, sql-virtual_mailbox_maps.cf, and pg_hb=
a.conf? I've looked and can't find anything for 3.2.3 -- oh, there's stuff=
out there that is outdated by a decade, but nothing current that I can fin=
d.
Do you have to start the imapd or other services, or do they start on their=
own? what's the difference if I use ldap vs. sql as a driver? if I use pg=
sql as a hash to the postgres tables, does that mean I should use ldap as t=
he hash instead? chroot default changed to yes from no, does that mean the=
smtp line needs to be changed or the dbmail-lmtp line at the end of master=
.cf?
What's this 'compatability' line? set at 2? What does that mean, oh, look,=
no documentation. If I'm using old config files from version 2, should it=
be changed to something else?
Why isn't there an install script that downloads installs and configures po=
stfix, postgresql and dbmail (or other combinations)? Millions of man-hour=
s to write awesome software, loads of documentation, and as nebulous and un=
usable as ever. This is the reason people don't want to migrate away from =
Microsuck operating systems.
RE: 3.2.3/INSTALL, part 2. ..."Edit the dbmail.conf file and set everythin=
g to your likings." What? what does that mean? Why not provide a MWE of w=
hat dbmail.conf should look like and explain anything that shouldn't be lef=
t default.
In my case, I can't insert users using dbmail-users; and you don't have any=
troubleshooting FAQs on your website or on the Install docs. Maybe, becau=
se of my frustration over this, I've missed something, but I've spent 3 who=
le days on this ONE issue. Someone (group) really needs to work on an inst=
all script.
I need to be put back on the mail server.
