Hi! I'm migrating from ispconfig2 to isconfig3 and when I create a new mail account on version 3 I don't see any new entry in the /etc/passwd file. Is that correct? It doesn't even creates the directories (in /var/vmail/...), all the jobs seems to get stuck in the job queue. Thank you! Gabo
Virtual mail users in postfix dont have any records in /etc/passwd, so thats absolutley correct. But you should see the directories in /var/vmail. Please post the output of: ls -la /var

When I create the accounts, it doesn't create the directories under /var/vmail/ . I see nothing in the logs related to this.
I think the problem was that mail vm didn't have permission to access main server db. Same was happenning with dns vm. Now I gave access to them according to the specified on /usr/local/ispconfig/lib/config.inc.php. I can from the vm's to main server, but i don't now which tables on the main db shoul be access by either mail vm or dns vm. Where can I check this?
I guess the problem is that you did not add the entries for all servers of this cluster in /etc/hosts file on all other servers as described in the multiserver guides. If these records are missing at install time, then mysql will later fail to connect from the slave. The permissions are very fine grained and not just table based, so do not alter the iispcsrv users from ispconfig on the master server, instead add the missing hosts records so that mysql is able to resolve the hostnames of the slaves correctly.
Hi till, thank you for your answer. I reinstalled ispconfig on dns and mail slaves and now it seems to work.
