Dear all, I followed this tutorial http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-centos-5.3-x86_64 to setup my own mail server and meet some weird problem, I've used linux for a couple of years, but very new to email systems. here's my problem: I've complete the setup following the tutorial, and while I was using thunderbird for testing IMAP-SSL, I get an message saying : Code: Jan 31 01:46:27 example.com imapd: chdir example.com/virtualuser/: No such file or directory Jan 31 01:46:27 example.com imapd: [email protected]: No such file or directory as for my authmysqlrc I have: Code: MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD email MYSQL_HOME_FIELD "/home/vmail" MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') please help! many thanks!
I'm able to send through smtp using that virtualuser, and has send a email to this [email protected] email address following the instruction stated that courier will create a maildir automaticly when receive new email for virtual account. another question: I can telnet to this server on port 25 from another machine and send emails (to local, if rcpt to other email than this server will get a relay denied message) without authentication? How do I put on the authentication? Or is this even an spam/security issue? Thanks,
okay I think I figured it out halfway: I put my hostname in virtual domain table in MYsql, and used virtual users for postmaster etc. But postfix define the virtual users to real user because mydestination=virtual domain... Therefore mailsdir cannot be found, because it cannot receive email. Am I right? If yes, 1. How do I setup virtual user for real domain/my hostname 2. Why can't I use subdomain for virtual host? i have example.com for real user emails and mail.example.com for virtual domain/ virtual users. How do I do this? Tnx
You can use a domain/hostname either for system users or for virtual users, but not for both at the same time. If you want to use it for virtual users, the domain/hostname must be in the database, but not in mydestination, and vice versa.
Can you be little bit more specific please? I have example.com MX handled by google apps at the moment. So I setup news.example.com for newsletter purpose. I now have mydestination set to example.com, problem is I cannot receive email send from this server to [email protected] because 'User unknown in local recipient table'. I suppose set mydestination to 'news.example.com' I will not be able to have it as virtual domain? And the first problem was solved by setup a virtual domain 'news1.example.com' and mydestination to example.com. I was able to send/receive email using virtual user for 'news.example.com' and 'news1.example.com'. How do I do this right? And If I send newsletter, do I set sender as 'postmaster@mydestination' or '[email protected]' because I want the bounce message to all go to one email address. ~Fan
I am having a very similar problem. What do I put my destination if I have put, in my dns as mail.jeremysmith.me.uk My hostnames fc10redhat.jeremysmith.me.uk I have in mydestination, fc10redhat.jeremysmith.me.uk I have as the domain for MySQL (in the db itself) in transport as domain: jeremysmith.me.uk and smtp:mail.jeremysmith.me.uk is this right? Can someone help me check this please? Sorry I dont mean to double post this problem.
In my case, I don't need to receive emails from outside the box, so what ever I have as hostname I put it in the mydestination. The rest are in virtual domain. So long just don't place mail.j*.me.uk in virtual domain would be fine. I've left this part blank, but I guess your user@j*.me.uk will be handled by postfix as long as your MX record is pointed to mail.j*.me.uk.

ISPConfig 2 is incompatible with the virtual users/domains Postfix setup. You must use one of the tutorials from http://www.ispconfig.org/ispconfig-2/documentation/ .
