Unknown (maildrop) error

Hi Till,

Thanks for you hepl with this...

Here is the maildrop entry in my master.cf:

Code:

maildrop  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=R user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d vmail ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop} ${sender}

Which I replaced with the line you indicated and the queue is still growing...

Can you help me decifer that line in master.cf

thx

 

Hi,

Performed the reinstall and then ran a:

postqueue -f

followed by a:

postqueue -p

and the queue is still growing with the same errors

Thanks,

 

Hi,

I first tried to reinstall ispconfig 3.0.1.6 running the update.php script in the install folder with the reconfigure services option

I then ran the:

chmod 755 /var/run/courier/authdaemon/
chmod +s /usr/bin/maildrop

Followed by editing the master.cf file, changing:

Code:

maildrop  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=R user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d vmail ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop} ${sender}

to

Code:

maildrop  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=R user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient} ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop} ${sender}

I then tried to reinstall maildrop with the following:

sudo update-alternatives --remove-all maildir.5
sudo update-alternatives --remove-all maildirquota.7
sudo apt-get install --reinstall maildrop


Still have the same errors in the queue

Thanks,

Hi,

With all these changes a reboot seems to have fixed it now.. queue just flushed!

ooof

 

I take it back, queue flushed, but emails all bounced... that's not good...

I have a backup of the /var/spool/postfix folder from earlier this afternoon if I restore that Do you think my queues will get recovered?

 

Hi,

I ran :
maildrop -V 9 -d [email protected]

and I ge the result:

maildrop: authlib: groupid=5000
maildrop: authlib: userid=5000
maildrop: authlib: [email protected], home=/var/vmail, mail=/var/vmail/domain.com/webmaster
maildrop: Changing to /var/vmail

And it hangs there..

with an eventual:

"maildrop: Timeout quota exceeded."

 

Hi,

Changed back the maildrop lines in the master.cf and ran:
chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail

I then restored the backup of my queues from earlier this afternoon.

My queue count is back up and rising.

I also have the same problem.

I did a apt-get upgrade, the server installled an "maildrop update" and ever since then the error messages such as "Unable to open mailbox" and "Permission denied, Unable to open mailbox".

Is there a permission file or access grant I need to set?

 

How do we do a roll back?

 

What if we booted with the old kernel (8.10), that should have the old config, wouldn't it?

Can't the people who released the maildrop update, patch it?
It just doesn't want to change to the /var/vmail directory

 

I commented out :

#virtual_transport = maildrop

and emails were delivered by virtual

Hope this helps

 

I presume you made that modification in the main.cf?.. I tried the same mod and restarted postfix and the queue is still stuck .

your queue is flowing now?

I also got the following error in the mail.err log:

postfix/virtual[3992]: fatal: main.cf configuration error: virtual_mailbox_limit is smaller than message_size_limit

any ideas?

 

See my other post here for the maildrop fix:
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?p=218260#post218260

For the mailbox_size error, not sure when it started but I fixed it by commenting out this:

#message_size_limit = 0

And adding this:

message_size_limit = 10240000000
virtual_mailbox_limit = 0

I think the virtual_mailbox_limit has a default value that conflicts when not set.

 

Man I wish I had seen that post earlier... I can't believe my earlier search didn't pick it up.. anyway..

I ran the three commands and BINGO Mail Queues Flushed and email delivered to the proper place!

SOLUTION:
aptitude install maildrop=2.0.4-3
postfix flush
aptitude hold maildrop


Thanks rforsythe!!

 

Thank you all for your help. I agree mooseman, why didn't that come up in the searches? that is the absolute trick!
