Create the needed Database.
The used MySQL_root_password should be the password chosen on pre-step 3. It's should not be the same as the password for roundcubemail (ROUNDCUBEMAILPASSWORD).
It's not a typo, the MySQL_root_password should really be just aside the -p
CREATE DATABASE roundcubemail /*!40101 CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci */;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON roundcubemail.* TO roundcube@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'ROUNDCUBEMAILPASSWORD';

When I try to send a mail via Roundcube webmail. it sent with the following address www-data@Myservername.Mydomain.tls and not with my mail addres. how can i fix it?
Hi,
after following all the guide, everything is working fine in my server. Despite, I am trying to process emails with php script. To do that I have created a .qmail file with pipe command but seems to do not work. Could be some process stoping the process? What I am doing wrong?
Thanks in advanced
@Mauro : Thanks for the tip ! It's the last thing I've changed in this guide and apparently I've missed something ! It 'll be adapted soon !
Congratulations on the guide: I made the mail server in a short time. Only I found an error in the file of roundcube main.inc.php loclahost line 72 instead of localhost. I am not allowed to access the mailbox via the Web, but the tests were okay!
thanks again
@Bregtbeer : It seems you 've missed something in http://qmailrocks.thibs.com/daemontools.php
The logs are crashing
You've probably missed something in http://qmailrocks.thibs.com/configure-courier.php#courierauthlib too

Can you help?
@Tokie:
This is the typical usage :
1° Configure the server to accept the domain thanks to
http://mailadmin.yourdomain.tld/cgi-bin/vqadmin/vqadmin.cgi
2° Create the e-mail account
http://mailadmin.yourdomain.tld/cgi-bin/qmailadmin
Master account : postmaster
Domain : your_just_configured_domain
Password : your_just_set_password
3° Connect on http://mailadmin.yourdomain.tld/webmail/
Login : account@domain (as created in qmailadmin)
Password : XXXX (as created in qmailadmin)
