Unknown (maildrop) error

Hi!

I am using ISPConfig 3.0.1.1.
When I create mailbox on my server (for example "[email protected]") and try to send e-mail there from other mailbox, I will not receive it.

When I look at "Mail-Queue" I have mail there with error:
(temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox.)

Can some1 help me please?

 

More errors

I deleted dir and i got more errors

(temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied maildirmake: /var/vmail/reporter.sk/reporter: Permission denied chmod: changing permissions of `/var/vmail/reporter.sk': Operation not permitted sh: /var/vmail/reporter.sk/reporter/ispconfig_mailsize: No such file or directory /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to create a dot-lock at /var/vmail/reporter.sk/reporter/6486.0.servervg.prestavka.sk.)

ls -la /usr/bin/maildrop :

Thank you

 

It's started happening to me

Hope you can help me too!

Today our mail server just decided to start doing this for no apparent reason

In the Webmin postfix module email queue there is the following message under status for every message

Code:

temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox.

ls -la /var/vmail/glemsfordschool.local returns the following

Code:

root@belle:/var/vmail# ls -la /var/vmail/glemsfordschool.local
total 12
drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2010-02-01 15:44 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 2010-02-01 15:57 ..
drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2010-02-01 15:44 incoming

ls -la /usr/bin/maildrop returns the following:

Code:

root@belle:/var/vmail# ls -la /usr/bin/maildrop
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root vmail 179520 2010-01-30 23:02 /usr/bin/maildrop

And still the emails remain with the same problem. No changes have been made to the system prior to this happening.

Any ideas please. We are unable to get emails otherwise.

Thanks in advance

I have had webmin installed with the postfix module since before this happened.
No updates for at least a couple of weeks and have restarted since then.
Loads of space
df -h returns this

Code:

root@belle:/var/vmail/glemsfordschool.local# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1             224G  5.8G  207G   3% /
tmpfs                 993M     0  993M   0% /lib/init/rw

root@belle:/var/vmail/glemsfordschool.local#

So lots there.

 

Same problem

Was there a recent update that messed up vmail / maildrop?

 

It's weird I'm getting the same error:

temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox.

all mail is getting queued in:

/var/spool/postfix/deferred

I have to make sure I don't loose the mail while I fix this problem.

Any idea where I can start looking?


an authtest returns:

Authentication succeeded.

Authenticated: [email protected] (uid 5000, gid 5000)
Home Directory: /var/vmail
Maildir: /var/vmail/domain.com/webmaster
Quota: 0
Encrypted Password:[HASH]
Cleartext Password: (none)
Options: disableimap=0,disablepop3=0


Any help would be appreciated...

 

Sorry to crash this thread, but I also get the same error.

Tried to reconfigure services as surgested in #14, but without any luck.

Unfortunately I still know very little about linux/Ubuntu, so I have no idea of what to do to solve this problem?

 

I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu, and I ran the update.php and reconfigured everything and it isnt releasing any of the emails.

 

Hi,

I just ran through the update.php with reconfigure and no dice...

How can I tell what updates were installed on ubuntu during the last day or so that might have messed up postfix or maildump?

Ok, with so many people experiencing the same issue on the same day, there must definitely be an update that fuzzed this all up for us... Does anyone know the exact process on how postfix interacts with imaildump to "dump" email into the user's respective mailbox? If we disect the process we may be able to debug the problem together.
