Hello I've followed the instructions posted at http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier as best I could, but have run into a couple snags. It's worth mentioning that I'm a not a newbie at this stuff, although most of my experience with MTAs in the past have been with Sendmail and Qmail. My host OS is Ubuntu 6.06, and the first snag I ran into was trying to figure out where the amavisd.conf file should go. Apt-get installs v. 2.3.3-3 of amavisd-new, and this version no longer uses a monolithic amavisd.conf file, but rather a collection of files in /etc/amavisd/conf.d. I wound up sticking the contents of the article's suggested amavisd.conf into the 50-user file, and while it seems to be working, I'm wondering what the potential downfalls of this approach are, or how I would evaluate which directives are being employed or ignored. My second problem is that mail is getting delivered to /var/spool/mail/user, and not /home/vmail/domain/user, and how I might correct that. The .cf files in /etc/postfix are exactly as described in the how-to, and I can login to the POP server using courier-authdaemon/authmysql, but I can't get mail delivered to the /home/vmail directory. Any suggestions on these matters would be most welcome, including pointers to previous discussions I might have missed in my searching.
Couple more details about my setup Here's a few more details about my setup (I've substiuted domain.com for my own domain): main.cf: Code: # See /usr/share/postfix/main.cf.dist for a commented, more complete version # Debian specific: Specifying a file name will cause the first # line of that file to be used as the name.

If you use Ubuntu, then you have Postfix 2.2 or newer. The tutorial was written for previous Postfix versions. In Postfix 2.2, the format of the .cf files changed. Have a look here: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showpost.php?p=6496&postcount=37 it should give you the idea.
OK, I took a look at this post, and from there, looked at the Postfix mysql table man page at http://www.postfix.org/mysql_table.5.html. After reading about the differences in how these .cf files are formed, I made the following changes to the .cf tables. mysql-virtual_domains.cf: Code: user = mail_admin password = password dbname = mail query = SELECT virtual FROM domains WHERE domain = '%s' hosts = 127.0.0.1 mysql-virtual_email2email.cf: Code: user = mail_admin password = password dbname = mail query = SELECT email FROM users WHERE email = '%s' hosts = 127.0.0.1 mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf: Code: user = mail_admin password = password dbname = mail query = SELECT destination FROM forwardings WHERE source = '%s' hosts = 127.0.0.1 mysql-virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf: Code: user = mail_admin password = password dbname = mail query = SELECT quota FROM users WHERE email = '%s' hosts = 127.0.0.1 mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf: Code: user=mail_admin password = password dbname = mail query = SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') FROM users WHERE email = '%s' hosts = 127.0.0.1 mysql-virtual_transports.cf: Code: user = mail_admin password = password dbname = mail query = SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = '%s' hosts = 127.0.0.1 After putting in these changes, I restarted postfix. Now, when I try the same telnet test (to send mail to [email protected]), I get very similar results to earlier: /var/log/mysql/mysql.log: Code: 060721 13:13:21 122 Connect mail_admin@localhost on mail 122 Query set autocommit=1 122 Query SELECT "Y" as local FROM domains WHERE CONCAT("@",domain) IN ('[email protected]','@virtual.test','@.virtual.test','@.test','@.') 119 Query SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') FROM users WHERE email = 'localhost' 118 Query SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = 'test@localhost' 118 Query SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = 'localhost' 119 Query SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') FROM users WHERE email = 'virtual.test' 118 Query SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = '[email protected]' 118 Query SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = 'virtual.test' 118 Query SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = '.test' 120 Query SELECT destination FROM forwardings WHERE source = '[email protected]' 123 Connect mail_admin@localhost on mail 123 Query SELECT email FROM users WHERE email = '[email protected]' 119 Query SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') FROM users WHERE email = 'virtual.test' 118 Query SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = '[email protected]' 118 Query SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = 'virtual.test' 118 Query SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = '.test' 120 Query SELECT destination FROM forwardings WHERE source = 'test@localhost' 123 Query SELECT email FROM users WHERE email = 'test@localhost' 120 Query SELECT destination FROM forwardings WHERE source = 'test' 123 Query SELECT email FROM users WHERE email = 'test' 120 Query SELECT destination FROM forwardings WHERE source = '@localhost' 123 Query SELECT email FROM users WHERE email = '@localhost' 119 Query SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') FROM users WHERE email = 'localhost' 118 Query SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = 'test@localhost' 118 Query SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain = 'localhost' and from /var/log/mail.log: Code: Jul 21 13:13:21 twinkie postfix/cleanup[6757]: 133CA3BB466F: message-id=<[email protected]> Jul 21 13:13:21 twinkie postfix/qmgr[6717]: 133CA3BB466F: from=<test@localhost>, size=388, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 21 13:13:21 twinkie amavis[4054]: (04054-02) NOTICE: reconnecting in response to: sql execute: sts=2006, DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL server has gone away at (eval 41) line 1 27, <GEN29> line 5.

It's ending with "WHERE email = 'virtual.test'" instead of "WHERE email = '[email protected]'". Any idea why the %s substitution is failing ? It seems to be the correct query everywhere else except for virtual_mailboxes.
FWIW, I've also tried substituting '%s' with '%u@%d' and '%1@%2.%3', but when I put this in instead of '%s', it suppresses the query altogether and does not run it, which is very frustrating.
Can you try Code: query = SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') FROM users WHERE [B][COLOR="Red"]email='%s'[/COLOR][/B] (no spaces) instead of Code: query = SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') FROM users WHERE [B][COLOR="Red"]email = '%s'[/COLOR][/B] ? Do the same for the other queries and restart Postfix.
OK, done, but it didn't make a difference. Same results. Code: mysql-virtual_domains.cf:query = SELECT virtual FROM domains WHERE domain='%s' mysql-virtual_email2email.cf:query = SELECT email FROM users WHERE email='%s' mysql-virtual_forwardings.cf:query = SELECT destination FROM forwardings WHERE source='%s' mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf:query = SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') FROM users WHERE email='%s' mysql-virtual_mailbox_limit_maps.cf:query = SELECT quota FROM users WHERE email='%s' mysql-virtual_transports.cf:query = SELECT transport FROM transport WHERE domain='%s'
After deploying the mysql table structure outlined here: http://postfixwiki.org/index.php?title=Virtual_Users_and_Domains_with_Courier-IMAP_and_MySQL It started working. I have no idea what the big difference is, though. Very strange. thanks for your help anyway w
hello, I have a problem with my mail server. I don't know if it is important to mention but I installed the virtual postfix mail server into a openvz vps. First all works fine, spam filter, anti virus, everything works fine when I send a spam test or eicar mail. After few test mails things start to go wrong. syslog: ------------------------ Aug 13 19:07:01 mail amavis[16283]: (16283-02) lookup_sql: 2006, MySQL server has gone away Aug 13 19:07:01 mail amavis[16283]: (16283-02) NOTICE: Disconnected from SQL server Aug 13 19:07:01 mail amavis[16283]: (16283-02) TROUBLE in check_mail: creating_partsdir FAILED: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: MySQL server has gone away at (eval 38) line 238, <GEN17> line 240.

Wen i check the mysql server it is online and working. I use ip numbers instead of host names so it can't be a dns problem. Mysql and dns servers are running oke. Amavis can't reach mysql anyway. After I restart the mail vps everything works fine again. when i send few test mails the server fails again. I searched google and the forum messages couldn't find a posting with a solution to this problem. Anybody?
Oow that doesn't sound to well What is your experience with other virtualisation software? I changed some settings in de amavis config file. $child_timeout=5*60; to this $child_timeout=5*120; and commented some others out # $inet_socket_bind = '127.0.0.1'; # @inet_acl = qw( 127.0.0.1 ); I don't know if it is relevant what I changed but i'm testing the mail server all day and its still running fine. I constantly tail the mail.log. If it stays running I start changed the settings again to find out what exactly is cousing this trouble
