    At the end of Pg5, 17 Send A Welcome Email For Creating Maildir, The user's mailbox isn't created. I noticed that main.cf doesn't specify a mailbox type so I used:
    Code:
    postconf -e "home_mailbox = Maildir/"
    ...but still no user mailbox in /home/vmail.

    Since I have to use a relayhost, I also ran:
    Code:
    postconf -e "relayhost = myrelayhost.domain.tld"
    I have found the messages I tried to send in /var/spool/clientmqueue. I'm not sure how to get the Maildirs created or how to get the messages out of the clientmqueue.

    NOTE: The directory /home/vmail was created.

    Advice appreciated.

    Solved my own problem

    I found a typo in mysql_virtual_domains. 127.0.0.1i. Oops.

    The user directories are now created. I've managed to receive mail from a remote network. Can't get mail out, but that's due to a problem with my relayhost. Hopefully it will be fixed soon so I can continue testing & finish installation/configuration.

    The test messages sent before the Maildirs were created are still stuck in clientmqueue. What do I need to do to get them cleaned out?

    Thanks,

    Ed

    To flush the mail queue, run
    Code:
    postsuper -r ALL
    To delete all messages in the mail queue, run
    Code:
    postsuper -d ALL
