Well, yesterday ewingdev.com moved from being hosted by geex.com (thanks to Mike and Patti for years of flawless service) to my own machine connected here at home. The process was mostly flawless... except when it comes to setting up email. Man, we're still living in the dark ages! I've essentially followed the step by step processes given in Chapter 26 of Mac OS X Tiger Unleashed, and, other than one error in the book, it's, uh, mostly worked. (We'll see how quickly the errata shows up.)

I wasted most of my time last night trying to get postfix to come back after a reboot. Short story, I left out a quote in one of the scripts I typed in by hand. Sigh...

But I haven't been able to get POP mail working. USER/PASS authentication is failing. The PAM setup is identical to IMAP, which is (was) working fine. Actually, this morning IMAP logins are failing too. Double sigh...

Did I say this process "mostly worked"? I guess that doesn't seem to be true.

Update: a reboot of the server and IMAP is back again. I hope this doesn't become a daily ritual.
