Hi I'm using ISPconfig 2.2.32 with more than 40 users One of our clients has email issue , nobody can send email to any email address that he has from outside email just bounced back with maildir delivery failed: create maildir file /var/www/web9/Maildir/tmp/1246184673.P7838.xxxxxxxxxx: Permission denied all email address hosted with this users have this issue. I searched the forum already and I checked: - SElinux is disable here is output of ls -la /var/www/web9 Code: dr-------- 8 web9_info web9 4096 Jun 28 15:48 . drwxr-xr-x 33 root root 4096 Jun 27 13:42 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 web9_info web9 4096 Jun 10 12:14 cgi-bin -rw------- 1 web9_info web9 24 Jun 28 15:48 .forward -rw-rw-r-- 1 root web9 640 Jun 28 04:01 .htpasswd drwxr-xr-x 3 web9_info web9 4096 Jun 14 00:30 log lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Jun 28 15:48 Maildir -> /var/www/web9/user/web9_info/Maildir -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Jun 28 15:48 passwd.dav drwxrwxrwx 2 web9_info web9 4096 Jun 10 12:14 phptmp -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 450 Jun 28 15:48 .procmailrc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 43 Jun 28 15:48 .spamassassin -> /var/www/web9/user/web9_info/.spamassassin/ drwxr-xr-x 2 web9_info web9 4096 Jun 10 12:14 ssl drwxr-xr-x 14 web9_info web9 4096 Jun 28 14:08 user lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 44 Jun 28 15:48 .vacation.cache -> /var/www/web9/user/web9_info/.vacation.cache drwxrwxr-x 4 web9_info web9 4096 Jun 11 04:00 web I check the statistics of the user and I see that he exceeded the qouta (he used 2700 MB from 2500 MB !) I'm wondering if quota is the problem or there is a permission issue actually adjusting quota to 3500 MB didn't help , also I chown[ed] Maildir to web9_info:web9 but it didn't help neither I'm lost , somebody help me !!!!
Thank you for such a quick answer. user quota is -1 I change website (Traffic) quota to 3500 MB but here is what I've got from repquota -avug Code: Block limits File limits Group used soft hard grace used soft hard grace ---------------------------------------------------------------------- . . . . . web9 -- 11108 256000 257024 220 0 0 . . . . . thanks again Edit: Sorry for confusion , when I said 'he exceeded the quota ' I was referring to Traffic quota not web quota still we have issue
And the permissions of the directories and sundirectories of this user are identical to the working accounts in the same website?
Thanks for getting back to me Till All email accounts on this web site have Maildir permission issue. no one can receive email on this web site. but email is working fine for all the other users (web1~web42) I can give you more ls output if you want , let me know if this helps
Ok, then the permissions of the web folder itself are causing this because the site is suspended. compare the permissions of the web[ID] foder which is in /var/www/ or wereever your sites are withe the other working sites and chmod the folder so that it looks like the others (chmod 755 if I remember correctly).
As you said the problem was /var/www/web9 folder, I chmod it to 755 and everything goes back to normal Thank you Till for great support
