I am receiving the following bounce message when someone tries to send email to my ISPC3 server (Ubuntu 8.10): <[email protected]>: user unknown. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied Invalid user specified. The strange thing is that it did appear to be working yesterday during initial testing! The user DOES exist (checked spelling, etc). Tried doing a Google search (as well as this forum) and can't seem to find anything relevant. Thanks, Scott
On first sight, it looks to me like you messed up the mySQL username (or perhaps password) for the Courier-mysql authdaemon.. Paul
HowTo question What would be the best way to fix this issue? I have looked at several of the conf files, and it shows the sasl user to be ispconfig and the password is encrypted. This is from the mail.info log file: Apr 29 11:25:20 webhost1 postfix/pipe[10207]: 4C4FC13004CB: to=<[email protected]>, relay=maildrop, delay=0.05, delays=0.01/0.01/0/0.03, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (user unknown. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied Invalid user specified. ) Inside the control panel, under the 'Monitor' area, I've noticed the following: ISPC Cron-Log: /bin/sh: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/run-getmail.sh: Permission denied (This is repeated over and over again.) Not sure if this has anything to do with the authdaemon error above, but thought I would mention it. Also, I deleted the above email account, then re-added it. Same result. All accounts send email just fine. Seems to be a receiving issue only. Thanks!

Please update to the latest ispconfig 3 version 3.0.1.1 and select that you want to reconfigure the services during update to fix this.
That seems to have done the trick regarding email. Thank you! I did find one strange error. In the ISPC cron log, I am now getting this line: Error: configuration file /etc/getmail/*.conf does not exist I checked that directory and it is completely empty. Is this normal? Thanks again for the help!
Yes, if you didn't configure any fetchmail accounts in ISPConfig - you can then ignore the error message.
Thanks! Falko - thanks for the tip on that error. I do NOT have anything configured for fetchmail, so I will ignore. Till - That fix for the inbound email is still working perfectly (I wanted to give it 48 hours or so, just in case).
I have the same problem I have the same problem as Sonicscot but my installation of ISPC3 is 3.0.1.4 so for me there is no update and still I have the message: ISPC Cron-Log: /bin/sh: /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/run-getmail.sh: Permission denied And I can't receive any email. What could be the problem here? I'm not a pro in this field and I did everything with the help of your howto's but they are very good! I hope you can help me with this last problem
What's the output of Code: ls -l /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/run-getmail.sh ? Which distribution do you use? Are there any errors in your mail log?
The output is: -rwxr--r-- 1 getmail ispconfig 168 sep 9 15:23 /usr/local/ispconfig/server/scripts/run-getmail.sh I use Debian Lenny 5.0.2a and I have no error messages in the mail log.
The message in the cron log might be very old as the cron log gets never deleted, or did a new line gets added every few minutes?
Yes, that is correct. I can't see in the log the frequency but it's now a full page long with the same message.
I am having the same error with 3.0.2.2.
