Hey everyone:
For some reason, understanding how to run a for-fun email server is beyond me. So, I'm trying to get this configured one step at a time. I find some tutorials online that say..."Yeah, just setup exim, fetchmail, squirrelmail, courier-imap, and spamassassin and you're almost there!" That sounds like a lot to me. So...I'm starting small. First things first, I want to get exim working with courier-imap.
Here is my setup, then I will show the errors I'm getting:
Debain Testing exim courier-imap Timewarner cable mdg.homelinux.org pointing from dyndns.org to my server.
Here is a snip of my exim conf. (the parts that seem relevant) ===== host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1 host_auth_accept_relay = * local_delivery: driver = appendfile group = mail mode = 0660 mode_fail_narrower = false envelope_to_add = true return_path_add = true #file = /var/mail/${local_part} directory=${home}/Maildir maildir_format = true prefix="" ===================
My /etc/login.defs file has: QMAIL_DIR Maildir/ #MAIL_DIR MAIL_FILE Maildir/
==================
And my /etc/pam.d file has: session optional pam_mail.so standard noenv dir=~/Maildir
===================
In my home dir, I have a .forward with: ~/Maildir
I also have a folder called Maildir with mdg:mail ownership.
====================
Now, when I log into mutt, and send a test mail somewhere, it works just fine. Comes from [email protected]. When I try to mail back, I get this header: ----- Message header follows -----

And I see this in my exim log:

========================
My mail never gets delivered to ~/Maildir. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
Sorry for the huge email...just trying to give as much info as possible.
Matt
