Xmail not working?

[Tiamo]

Hello everyone,

I recently bought myself an asus, and stumbled upon this ever so great site

I followed many tutorial, resulting in my router beeing a webserver/lan server
verry great this is, however, when i try to install xmail to host my humble mail server, it results in an error saying:

[Jan@Prometheus root]$ ipkg install xmail
Installing xmail (1.21-2) to root...
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/un...1-2_mipsel.ipk
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 1.
Collected errors:
ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for xmail:
libstdc++ syslogd
[Jan@Prometheus root]$


apearantly i am doing something terribly wrong, but i cant figure out what
if i try to install syslogd or libstdc it says it cant find tge packages?
Any help would be apreciated

I have corrected XMail syslog depend which now suggest you to install syslog-ng.

Please read documentation at http://www.xmailserver.org/ and http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/Xmail and then suggest what should be addditionally done to the package to start working without much reconfigure.

i'm too stupid to get xmail to work

i don't know how to start xmail thats the main problem

XMail was not cross-compiled properly! It was just for native compile. I fixed this in new package xmail_1.22-3_mipsel.ipk

Now XMail starts!

[admin@oleo root]$ /opt/etc/init.d/S43xmail start
Starting XMail server: XMail.[ 643 ]

Issue:

ipkg update
ipkg upgrade

I have not verified any other config. Just checked for running config and saw with netstat -ln that there is no listening daemons at 25, 110 ports! And it looks like syslog entries are working with BusyBox syslog!

See for yourself and report what you have additionally done to scripts to run XMail. Help us to help you.

Yes. It is installed successful but it does not listen to any port (netstat -ln)


Binaries from this post

work (but SMTP does not send to any host)

Is there any idea how to fix it?

I'm trying to install Xmail on my WL500g.

For downloading mail from an external pop3-mailbox, I think I need to configure POP3LINKS.TAB. There, I have to enter an "external-crypted-password". It should be possible to generate it with 'XMCrypt' program supplied with the source distro. This file isn't installed - or I cannot find it.

Can anyone help me?

If your intention is sending mails to some other mail server, you can use builtin mini_sendmail.

[ookmich]

No, my intention is to collect mail and distribute between users.
and to have it available all the time without a running PC the whole day...

Bye,

As far as I know xmail should work with alternative package feed. See custom packages topic.
