The mail client doesn't know wich server to use. It always use the
routing server. The routing server redirects it to the correct imap
server. Make sure your are using the right protocol imap4 or imap4s.

Sorry I can't resolve how can the mail client (Evolution) find its
server over Internet with following settings; Hi Gustavo,
I'll make 2 tests;
1)
test1 - USING TEXT FILE
2)
test2 - USING MYSQL
I have cloned an image of the routing mail server for test2. Now
proceed test1 first.

Now I haven't figured out how to test perdition. There are 2
databases
running on this routing mail server, MySQL maildb
and
perdition_lookup.gdbm.db. Do I need to stop MySQL maildb to test
perdition? How can the remote mail clients connect their mail
servers?
What server settings shall I use? Please shed
me some light. TIA
No need for stopping you MySQL.
If everything is wright (I haven't tested, I can have skipped
something), you can point your mail clients to the hostname where
perdition is installed and use it normally.
Server Type: IMAP
Server : xen11.satimis.com (hostname of the routing mail server where
perdition is running
User: satimis
satimis is user of satimis.com, satimis.changeip.net and
satimis.dnsalias.com as well as user of the routing mail server,
xen11.satimis.com
I tried it without success.
How are you configuring perdition? Have you modified your
/etc/init.d/perdition script to contain the correct parameters?
Note that perdition's default protocol is
pop3. To use imap suply the
option -P IMAP4
xen11:~# /etc/init.d/perdition start
/usr/sbin/perdition.pop3 already running.
Starting /usr/sbin/perdition.pop3s...
Starting /usr/sbin/perdition.imap4...
Starting /usr/sbin/perdition.imaps...
xen11:~# hostname
xen11.satimis.com
pop3 is already running. I have to manually run /etc/init.d/perdition
to start pop3s, imap4 and imaps
waiting for input
You can look at perdition logs to find information about what is going on.
You can use nc to test it:
$ echo "tag login username password" | nc perdition_host 143
In username and password you use valid username and password for your
real imap server.
I suppose running above command on the routing mail server where
perdition is installed.
# echo "tag login satimis mypassword" | nc xen11.satimis.com 143
* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA AUTH=CRAM-MD5
AUTH=CRAM-SHA1 IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready.

tag NO Login failed.
For pop3:
$ echo -e "user username\npass password | nc perdition_host 110
xen11:~# echo -e "user satimis\npass x11satimis | nc xen11.satimis.com
110
No special configuration is need for your
pop/imap servers. Just
assure that they are listening on standard ports.
I have only ONE external IP. All ports are forwarded to the routing
mail server except port 53.
