Problem
I just installed Kolab and right now I can send email in my local domain, but I can't send email to the outside. I did set my domain to abc.com, so I am now able to send email between a@abc.com and b@abc.com, but I can't send email to an external gmail account for example.
Solution
In its default configuration kolab won't accept incoming mails from outside (the internet). You need to specifically activate this. Go to the Services panel in the kolab webadmin frontend and activate Accept Internet Mail.
Be careful about the $TMP env var, the script uses it. In some distro (ie Mandriva) this var
can be /root/tmp and not /tmp (and of course, /root/tmp should not be 777 !)
Email Account is not being removed
You deleted an email account and you see that the kolabDeleteFlag is set but the account is not being removed.
Try the following:
/kolab/etc/rc kolabd stop
Login to cyradm an remove the account manually:
/kolab/bin/cyradm localhost -u manager
dm user/username@hostname.tld
/kolab/etc/rc kolabd start
My problem persists
