Maildrop problem

Hi,

I tried to reinstall ispconfig with courier, and now I can't receive mails. Imap authentification works, but when I check in /var/log/mail.log, I get this:

Code:

Jun 16 19:33:42 hostname postfix/pipe[1807]: 9EC7169CC: to=<[email protected]>, relay=maildrop, delay=2398, delays=2398/0.04/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to change to home directory. )

What am I missing? The Maildir directories exist and have the good owner (vmail:vmail) and rights.
Thx

 

I Did.

I reinstalled again, it seems the bug occurs when using ispconfig's system->serverconfig->mail panel to change directories (changed /var/vmail to /home/vmail, as it is on a different partition).
The imap server reads the files from the new location, but it seems maildrop still wants to put them in /var/vmail

I tried to change vmail user's home directory, but it doesn't work...

 

I don't have room on the system partition, what should I do then? And why is the mail folder editable in ispconfig's interface if you can't change it?

edit: It seems to work now, but when I send mail to mailboxes that doesn't exit, the Maildir folders are created.

 

I'd love to, but webservers are not often computers you own and keep in your room

I read maildrop's documentation here, and it is told in the delivery mode section that maildrop will look into vmail user's home directory.

Now, I'm reading the .mailfilter file created by ispconfig, and it seems it simply creates the maildir if it doesn't exist.

Which program checks if the user exists? It is Postfix, before giving it to maildrop (but why would Postfix be affected by vmail's directory location ?), or is there an authentification mechanism in maildrop that connects to the database?

( also changed /etc/postfix/main.cf virtual_mailbox_base to /home/vmail )

 

Do you chown the file??

# chown -R vmail:vmail /home/vmail

 

wouldn't it be simplier to create symlink? like writing

 

I reinstalled all from scratch with the install guide (ubuntu 9.04), and tried it with all the default directories.

I still have the same problem, it seems postfix doesn't check if a user exists when receiving mail and creates all the maildirs.

Could it be that postfix doesn't connect to the mysql database? all the /etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_*.cf generated by ispconfig seem correct. How could I see if postfix correctly gets the virtual user data?

Any ideas?

thanks

 

here is the main.cf file:

The mailbox "alexandre" exists, the the mailbox "test" doesn't

 

<hostname> is the same than in /etc/hostname and /etc/mailname (it's the main name given to the server by the provider)

domain.tld is one of the domains hosted on the server with ispconfig.

 

It's only set as an email domain.

 

till: And domain.tld is setup in ispconfig only as mailbox domain and not as relay domain?



can someone plzz explain the 2 comments ??? relay domain and mailbox domain ??
i have 2 domains of my own, and the server is named server1.domain1.com

for this domain -> domain1.com is it possible for not being able to create mail accounts and working ???

the zone and the subdomains for this domain i have it on ispconfig , and on the same server i got from a friend a subdomain, games.anotherdomain.com ... if i m creating mail accounts for this subdomain, everything works fine, i get the mail , wellcome to your new mail account bla bla bla, the maill account looks like this, [email protected]

when i m trying to make mail accounts for the domain1.com
mail accounts like [email protected] are created but not allways, and when they are created i can t receive e mails, i only can send .... the reply on the mail that i am sending from is name account not registered as e-mail account




and right now i m getting same problem for all of the e-mail accounts allready created

connection dropped by imap server

 

I've set mysql to logging mode, and it does receive the requests from postfix.
