Which tutorial didyou use for setup? Under which user do you run maildrop (see your postfix main.cf)? Is this user setup in your passwd? Is your mail-dir (/var/vmail) owned by this user (should be vmail.vmail)?
Thank you florian030, problem solved by deleting all mailboxes and creating them again, and after that resync mailboxes from ISPConfig panel thank you again
You should have mentioned that you use ispconfig. as you posted in a forum for non ispconfig questions, I thoufh that you dont use ispconfig. with ispconfig, this command would have fixed it: chown -R vmal:vmail /var/vmail
Hello, I have the same problem and also have ISPConfig... I run your command, but not fixed that.. still have the error /usr/bin/maildrop: Home directory owned by wrong user. )
Yeah the problem was a variable of mail path that ispconfig was wrong... Homedir Path in Server config was : /var/mail/ instead of /var/vmail/ Thank you
Looks like your mail directory owned by root and not mail server user, while 'mail' group doesn't have the write access to it So it just can't write new mails to the directory, that's the problem. Do you know which user your mail server running at? You can try: Code: chown mail:mail /usr/bin/maildrop -R But you need to be sure that 'mail' user is the user your mail server running with. You also can find more information about Linux file permissions here.[/CODE]
