Hey, my first postin theese forums, so please correct me if iam doing anything wrong. And by the way, great site! I've have followed this Howto: http://howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier But I ran into a wall somewhere in the configuration. I've completed the how to, and there was no errors in the setup (i guess). But when i try to login, the users don't exists (i am trying with telnet host 110/25/143). My log files contains the following: compark:/var/log# cat mail.err Feb 14 16:47:03 compark imaplogin: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:127.0.0.1] Feb 14 16:48:27 compark postfix/smtp[16935]: fatal: unexpected command-line argument: 127.0.0.1:10025 Feb 14 17:10:50 compark postfix/smtp[16950]: fatal: unexpected command-line argument: 127.0.0.1:10025 Feb 14 17:44:10 compark postfix/smtp[17087]: fatal: unexpected command-line argument: 127.0.0.1:10025 Feb 14 18:50:50 compark postfix/smtp[17107]: fatal: unexpected command-line argument: 127.0.0.1:10025 compark:/var/log# compark:/var/log# cat mail.info Feb 14 18:50:50 compark postfix/qmgr[16506]: 031B6B89E: from=<[email protected]>, size=279, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 14 18:50:50 compark postfix/smtp[17107]: fatal: unexpected command-line argument: 127.0.0.1:10025 Feb 14 18:50:51 compark postfix/qmgr[16506]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/amavis socket while reading input attribute name Feb 14 18:50:51 compark postfix/qmgr[16506]: warning: private/amavis socket: malformed response Feb 14 18:50:51 compark postfix/master[16503]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtp pid 17107 exit status 1 Feb 14 18:50:51 compark postfix/master[16503]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtp: bad command startup -- throttling Feb 14 18:50:51 compark postfix/qmgr[16506]: 031B6B89E: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=7345, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: mail transport unavailable) mail.log contains the same errors as mail.info, the same goes for mail.warn. The only place where i doesn't follow the how to is in: 2 Apply Quota Patch To Postfix Can these errors have anything to do with this? I hope some of you can guide me through the setup Regards Mejborn
This is what i am getting from the ehlo localhost: Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 compark.dk ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU) ehlo localhost 250-compark.dk 250-PIPELINING 250-SIZE 10240000 250-VRFY 250-ETRN 250-STARTTLS 250-AUTH LOGIN PLAIN 250-AUTH=LOGIN PLAIN 250 8BITMIME
Now i got a little bit longer. I've chanced the mysql-virtual_domains.cf So the select_field = 'domain' instead of 'virtual' as it was in the howto. Then i manually added the directories in /home/vmail and did a chown, i followed a users comment to the howto it now looks like this: compark:/home/vmail/compark.dk/mathias/Maildir# ls -l totalt 12 drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2007-02-14 21:50 cur drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2007-02-14 21:50 new drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2007-02-14 21:50 tmp now when is do a telnet localhost pop3 i get the following: compark:/home/vmail/compark.dk/mathias/Maildir# telnet localhost pop3 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. +OK Hello there. user [email protected] +OK Password required. pass XXXXX -ERR Maildir invalid (no 'cur' directory) Connection closed by foreign host. compark:/home/vmail/compark.dk/mathias/Maildir# Anyone that can help me?
Have you compared all your configuration files with those from the tutorial? Maybe you made a typo somewhere?
Hey falko. Yes I have compared my configurations files with thosefrom the howto, but maybe I'll should do it again. The "funny" thing is that now i am able to login with imap, but still not with pop3 (i stille get the same error as described earlier). But with imap it looks like this: compark@compark:~$ telnet localhost 143 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. * OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE ACL ACL2=UNION STARTTLS] Courier-IMAP ready. Copyright 1998-2004 Double Precision, Inc. See COPYING for distribution information. a login [email protected] XXXX a OK LOGIN Ok. a logout * BYE Courier-IMAP server shutting down a OK LOGOUT completed Connection closed by foreign host. compark@compark:~$ I think it's strange that imap does not complain about the "cur" directory when pop3 does. But I will check my configurations files again.
What's the output of Code: netstat -tap ? Please make sure your /etc/courier/authmysqlrc (especially the formatting) looks like the one from the tutorial.

Or can mc (midnight commander) or any other editor show me this?
Newlines (aka linebreaks) are allowed, otherwise you'd have everything in one line. What is not allowed are Windows linebreaks. When you open a file with Windows linebreaks in vi or nano, each line has something like ^M at the end. If you use Unix linebreaks, the line should look ok.
Ok but i copy/pasted the hole howto, into nano and saved it. So it should be ok. Was my authmysqlrc fine?
Yes, looks ok. Please double-chack all configuration files, maybe there's a typo somewhere. Do you still get this -ERR Maildir invalid (no 'cur' directory) error? What's the output of Code: ls -la /home/vmail/compark.dk/mathias/Maildir now?
Yes I'll still get the error, when I try to login via pop3. I have checked the configuration files, and it all looks fine to me, I also copy/pasted all from the howto, so there was less chances for errors. The output from ls -la /home/vmail/compark.dk/mathias/Maildir is: compark:/home/compark# ls -la /home/vmail/compark.dk/mathias/Maildir totalt 20 drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2007-02-14 21:50 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 2007-02-14 21:50 .. drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2007-02-14 21:50 cur drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2007-02-14 21:50 new drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2007-02-14 21:50 tmp compark:/home/compark#
I have a few questions here and a couple of issues. Question 1. Do I have to maunally create the "maildir" for every new Site I add? And is the Location of the Maildir in "var/www/web1" or in the Users home directory, "/var/www/web1/user/web1_user1/"? I have no problems setting up the POP, which everything is working fine, no problems receiving... I can create IMAP accounts, no problems authenticating, but they do not receive E-mails, in Webmail and in OE.... The E-mails sent to the to the pop account do NOT show up either in webmail. I get this message when Telnetting into the IMAP Server: telnet> open 192.168.2.9 143 Trying 192.168.2.9... Connected to 192.168.2.9.
