The following files were modified:
in directory: /etc/dovecot/
dovecot.conf

in directory: /etc/dovecot/conf.d
10-auth.conf
10-mail.conf
10-master.conf

You might try & run dovecot_config.sh from
n7nix/email/claws

I will attach the 4 files in another email to you.

You have to restart dovecot after changing the config files.
sudo systemctl restart dovecot

The plu config script sets wl2k.conf like this:

   ## Set email=user_name@localhost

   sed -i -e "s/^#email=.*/email=$USER@localhost/" $PLU_CFG_FILE

And your wl2k.conf file had your gmail account in it. How did that happen?

As I mentioned in my previous email, I was trying to get paclink to successfully authenticate. My callsign and password matched the working config of Winlink Express but the email address is my gmail address in WE but the email address in the wl2k.conf was pi@localhost. Was grasping at straws so changed it to match. Then after updating paclink to latest and resolving the issue, forgot to go back in and change it back. Doh. When retrieving a message from the CMS, I noticed the detail output from wl2ktelnet showing it invoking sendmail to my gmail address.

Can you determine if claws-mail has been installed?
Dovecot gets installed from claws-mail install script.
Is there a desktop icon for claws-mail?

Yes, I have claws-mail on the desktop. However, Ill need to configure it based on:

https://github.com/nwdigitalradio/n7nix/blob/master/email/claws/README.md 

once we have the IMAP server running. 

I looked in /lib/systemd/system and see there is dovecot.service. Running "systemctl status dovecot.service":

I haven't touched any dovecot config files.

If not perhaps that part of the script had a problem. Try installing claws-mail
separately and capture all the console output as user pi (not root)

cd

./claws_install.sh pi KF7DRV

Good.
Can you determine if rainloop is installed?
In a browser type this url: localhost/?admin

Yep, rainloop answers up with a login/password page.

I agree. Plus you can do everything in a browser including paclink-unix
access, VNC isn't necessarily needed for remote operation.

If you installed paclink-unix then dovecot is already configured
... unless you decide to edit config files yourself.
The paclink-unix install, installs & configures: postfix, dovecot, mutt,
rainloop, claws-mail, nodejs & pluweb app.

>
> Does that make sense?

Yes. You have a number of options:
local=running on RPi
- local or remote console using mutt
- local or remote web browser using rainloop & plu web app.
- local or remote using VNC & claws-mail
- remote using your mobile device mail app & RPi in host AP mode and
accessing paclink-unix with the web app. (I use K9 mail on my Android)

It's been a couple of weeks since Hamvention, and I was hoping we could get an update on potential ship dates for outstanding DRAWS orders, including the aluminum cases (I bought the kit).

Thanks,

Yes good catch. email=pi@localhost is what it should be.

I would like to help get claws-mail (or rainloop) working for you.
Although mutt is the easiest to configure & get operational.

Hi Basil,

Some additional information. It appears that when I run wl2ktelnet multiple times, your last message to me via winlink alternates between getting delivered to the outbox and then getting deleted from the outbox. When the message gets posted to the outbox, there is an attempt to deliver it via sendmail to my gmail account. That doesn't seem right. Perhaps a clue to what's misconfigured?

Thanks,

Keith

So, I've given this some more thought. you could probably do this through chan_alsa, chan_oss, or chan_usrp depending on how DRAWS configures its sound card.

Easiest would be GNU Radio USRP, the set up would be similar to that as DVSwitch.

Agreed.  This is essentially what I was asking.

Allstar takes it a step further, building a network on top of Asterisk and app_rpt. They provide a distribution of Debian with Asterisk and app_rpt pre compiled, with all the heavy lifting and configuration already done. You could do it all yourself, but why when you can save time with the distro?

The issue I see is not with the Allstar distribution, but rather getting DRAWS to show up as a compatible device for app_rpt. The URIx and other similar radio interface were specifically designed for Allstar, IRLP and the like.

A driver may be needed for use with Allstar. If this is something that a lot of people are interested in, I could take a stab at it. Just need to dedicate the time and a board. Though, I feel that the exercise may be a little in vain, using DRAWS for just going from a radio to Allstar is seriously limiting the power and capabilities of the board. A URIx would be easier, since it's the right tools for the job kind of thing. Plus, it's cheaper than a DRAWS board.

Hello Christopher 

That's a very good question. I've been working on that for sometime. I didn't want to tie up and dedicate a RPi solely for Allstar. I wanted to do HF digital as well. I've been working on this project for about a year. The introduction of DRAWS changed my entire build... ugh. Unless I overlooked a possible workaround, only thing I haven't tried was requesting to get the Allstar software without the attached operating system. If that's possible, I don't see why DRAWS and Allstar can't be friendly neighbors one one operating system.

Has anyone gotten Allstar running with DRAWS (or UDRC)?    I saw the thread re: URI but my aim is to use DRAWS rather than URI.
