Mixing up perfect debian setup and virtual users and domains with postfix I've installed a debian sarge as follows Base System Quota DNS-Server MySQL Postfix/POP3/IMAP Razor, Pyzor And DCC And Configure SpamAssassin Courier-IMAP/Courier-POP3 Apache2 Proftpd is this correct? now maildir folders cannot automatically be created.
The Maildirs should be automatically created when the first email for the respective users arrive. Any error messages in your mail log?
extracted from mail.log Code: Jan 26 09:04:08 web postfix/local[15690]: BD641284546: to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0, status=bounced (maildir delivery failed: create /home/fulano/Maildir/tmp/1138277048.P15690.web.mcye.misiones.gov.ar: Permission denied) Jan 26 09:04:08 web postfix/local[15690]: warning: maildir access problem for UID/GID=1001/100: create /home/fulano/Maildir/tmp/1138277048.P15690.web.mcye.misiones.gov.ar: Permission denied Jan 26 09:04:08 web postfix/local[15690]: warning: perhaps you need to create the maildirs in advance using following command to create users Code: useradd userlogin -s /bin/false then add user password after user is created /home has no folder for that user, should it be created later on?
It's a problem with the permissions. Please post the output of Code: ls -la /home What's the username of the user with the UID 100? What's the groupname of the group with the GID 100?
ls -la /home Code: total 16 drwxrwsr-x 4 root staff 4096 2006-01-18 11:43 . drwxr-xr-x 22 root root 4096 2006-01-20 15:20 .. drwxr-xr-x 3 admin admin 4096 2006-01-26 09:41 admin drwxr-xr-x 2 ftp nogroup 4096 2006-01-18 11:43 ftp identd is the username with the UID 100 users is the groupname with the GID 100
great Falko Code: chown identd:users /home solve the problem now, please tell me if I'm wrong, first mail sent to user must be sent from same server so folder structure could be created? ask this because I was been sending mail from yahoo, hotmail and some local isp but none of them create maildir. regards, and thanks once again
It doesn't matter from where you send them. If the emails from Yahoo and others didn't arrive, then you should check if the MX records for the recipient domains are pointing to your server. When you send a mail from Yahoo to your server, do you see that something happens in your mail log?
even after 'chowned' /home maildir was not created, but when send mail from administrator account it did. Well it doesn't matter anymore, mail system is working.
