With much attention i walked trough the tutorial Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (+ SMTP-AUTH, Quota, SpamAssassin, ClamAV) which is really well composed but i managed to screw something up. After the completion of the tutorial i sended myself an e-mail with "echo welcome | mail [email protected]" so the Maildir would be created. The folder /home/vmail/domain.tld/user existed so that went perfectly. The only problem i cannot solve is the error "imaplogin: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory", there is no difference in an IMAP or POP3 connection. The directory does exist and is owned by vmail: Code: hostname:/home/vmail# ls -la drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2006-09-11 22:44 domain.tld hostname:/home/vmail# ls -la domain.tld/ drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2006-09-11 22:44 user hostname:/home/vmail# ls -la domain.tld/user/ drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2006-09-11 22:44 cur -rwx------ 1 vmail vmail 29 2006-09-12 21:36 maildirsize drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2006-09-12 21:36 new drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2006-09-12 21:36 tmp hostname:/home/vmail# ls -la domain.tld/user/new/ -rwx------ 1 vmail vmail 989 2006-09-11 22:44 1158007497.V801I80c1e3.hostname.workgroup I have rechecked the tutorial on any /home/vmail entries and compared them with my own config files, but everything checks out: /etc/postfix/main.cf Code: virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 /etc/courier/authmysqlrc Code: MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD email ##NAME: MYSQL_HOME_FIELD:0 # MYSQL_HOME_FIELD "/home/vmail" Sending an e-mail Code: postfix/pickup[14053]: 89FC59402A1: uid=0 from=<root> postfix/cleanup[14065]: 89FC59402A1: message-id=<20060912202400.89FC59402A1@FQDN> postfix/qmgr[14054]: 89FC59402A1: from=<root@FQDN>, size=273, nrcpt=1 (queue active) postfix/smtpd[14069]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] postfix/smtpd[14069]: AB32A94029E: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] postfix/cleanup[14065]: AB32A94029E: message-id=<20060912202400.89FC59402A1@FQDN> postfix/qmgr[14054]: AB32A94029E: from=<root@FQDN>, size=703, nrcpt=1 (queue active) amavis[9649]: (09649-04) Passed, <root@FQDN> -> <[email protected]>, Message-ID: <20060912202400.89FC59402A1@FQDN>, Hits: - postfix/smtp[14068]: 89FC59402A1: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1], delay=0, status=sent (250 2.6.0 Ok, id=09649-04, from MTA: 250 Ok: queued as AB32A94029E) postfix/smtpd[14069]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1] postfix/qmgr[14054]: 89FC59402A1: removed postfix/virtual[14070]: AB32A94029E: to=<[email protected]>, relay=virtual, delay=0, status=sent (delivered to maildir) postfix/qmgr[14054]: AB32A94029E: removed Trying to read my mail with IMAP Code: imaplogin: Connection, ip=[::ffff:<ipaddress>] imaplogin: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory I honestly don't have a clue where to look, do you? @falko: On page 2 the typo is still present: Code: Now we create a user and group called vmail with the home directory /home/[B]vamil[/B]. This is where all mail boxes will be stored.
