Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 7.04 and followed: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_and_domains_with_postfix_debian_etch When the servers start, this is what I get: Code: ubuntu1 postfix/master[4447]: daemon started -- version 2.3.8, configuration /etc/postfix ubuntu1 authdaemond: modules="authmysql", daemons=5 ubuntu1 authdaemond: Installing libauthmysql ubuntu1 authdaemond: Installation complete: authmysql The user gets authenticated OK from the MySQL database, but then, courier can't get to the mailbox: Code: ubuntu1 imapd: chdir onthegosystems.local/amir/: No such file or directory How do I start to debug this? Thanks, Helzer
It's empty. I was thinking that there should be something there, created by courier, but there's nothing. The directory (/home/vmail) does belong to user vmail (and group vmail). Amir
I'm almost sure it's something I've done, but there's a slight possibility that there's something different in my setup causing the howto to go wrong. My Linux distro is Ubuntu 7.04 and not the original Debian. How can I debug this? Is there a way to create a more detailed log showing exactly what Courier is doing? What I'm thinking is: - It's trying to create the directories somewhere else than /home/vmail - It's running as a different user and can't create directories in /home/vmail - Some switch is missing and courier is simply not trying to create the directories at all. But, I don't want to make brute force attempts until it just works. It would be very nice if I find the debug information and be able to understand what's going on there. Any thoughts? Thanks, Helzer
Same problems too I'm having the same problems too. 1.I had to manually create the maildir with maildirmake. 2. I tried sending email between users in the same domain, and setting the transport table to deliver locally. But whenever I send mail.... the mail is delivered to /home/vmail/xxxx.com instead of /home/vmail/xxxx.com/user1 .
I've got this working now on a production server, running the same Ubuntu. A technician set this up with postfix + dovecot. I'll go through the setup and see if there's something unique to Ubuntu that's set any different. Will let you know. Amir
I've fix my problem, there was a typo as falko suggested in the sql query string in /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf. Problem solved for me..thanks a lot
