Mail going to /var/spool/mail instead of Maildir

My mailserver stopped working today. I have discovered that the mail is making it to the server, however it is being delievered to the /var/spool/mail files instead of the Maildir. I have tried to set the home mailbox using the postconf commands and restarted postfix with no luck. I need to get this mail server back online quickly an entire company is without mail.

I am a new admin to ispconfig and have been having problems every couple of weeks. I have been working on this problem for many hours.

Any assistance would be greatly appreicated.

 

You must enable Maildir under Management -> Server -> Settings -> Email.
To make this change happen for existing users, change something for each user in the ISPConfig web interface (e.g. enable/disable Mailscan) so that the users' configuration files get rewritten. Afterwards you can undo these changes.

 

Falko,

The check box in Management has been checked through out this process. I went so far as to uncheck it and recheck it. I did this yesterday.

I made a change to one user and sent in a test message, the mail arrived in the /var/spool/mail file. I restarted the Ispconfig server and postfix services and sent another test message, it goes to /var/spool/mail.

 

What's in that user's .procmailrc file (in his homedir)?

 

using more to view the .procmailrc in the following folder /home/www/web6/user/email_admin

MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
ORGMAIL=$MAILDIR
(1 blank line)
INCLUDERC=/home/www/web6/user/email_admin/.mailsize.rc

file .mailsize.rc

SHELL=/bin/sh

{
:0 c
| wc -c | formail -A"X-Loop: ${LOGNAME}@localhost" \
-I"Subject: Mailsize: ${LOGNAME" | \
$SENDMAIL -oi admispconfig@localhost
}

 

As I recall there are no disk quota set. How would I verify the disk quota ?

Thanks

 

With

Code:

repquota -avug

You can also run

Code:

df -h

to see if your partitions are full.

 

df -h Produces the following results

Filesystem Size Used Avail Used% Mounted on
/dev/md0 66G 3.2G 63G 5% /
tmpfs 316M 0 316M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sdc2 1.1G 37m 992M 4% /boot
/dev/sdb1 1.1G 33m 996M 4% /tmp


Also we resolved the issue by creating the new users for the old users having problems. We are trying to understand what happened, in an attempt to prevent it from happening in the future.
