Is there a tutorial for beginners with the Courier suite from /usr/ports/mail/courier?
The new home server running FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE is behind firewall/NAT (Cisco IOS router, dynamic IPv4 address, but I plan to switch to a better ISP with static address).
I need some virtual mailboxes like xxx@yyy.dyndns-home.com that are delivered to zzz@homeserver accounts, and would like to switch from my old sendmail + imap-uw setup that became too slow with growing mbox files, running on another server with OpenBSD.
courier-0.65.3_1 port was built with the following options: auth_userdb, gnupg,ipv6,maildropflags,webmailflags,webmailrsent,systemaliases,emptyaliases.
Then RTFM did not help a lot because I could only send email between local accounts (sendmail had been disabled and purged from base system). Everything else received from my ISP connecting with real email address is rejected with 517-Domain does not exist. The learning curve of courier would not feel so steep if the many configuration files were not entangled with DNS or authentication problems.
