    Hey,

    I've just installed postfix and courier but the problem is that the server can handle email and then put them in

    Code:
    /var/virtual/eddy.be/
    The mails are in a file. All mails in one file of 1user

    example. file [email protected] contains all the mails of that user

    But now my courier is giving me the following error.

    Code:
    Jan 11 23:32:43 eddy pop3d: Connection, ip=[::ffff:192.168.2.2]
    Jan 11 23:32:43 eddy pop3d: chdir /var/virtual/eddy.be/test: Not a directory
    I think he is expecting dirs but I don't have dirs :) but files.

    And what is the "cur" and "new" directory for? I needed to make them to prevent an error.

    Code:
    #DEFAULT_DOMAIN         domain.tld
    MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD     password
    MYSQL_DATABASE          postfix
    MYSQL_GID_FIELD         '1001'
    MYSQL_HOME_FIELD        '/var/virtual'
    MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD       username
    MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD     maildir
    MYSQL_NAME_FIELD        name
    MYSQL_OPT               0
    MYSQL_PASSWORD          ***
    #MYSQL_PORT             0
    # Uncomment below if you want quota support.
    #MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD      quota
    MYSQL_SERVER            localhost
    # Default FreeBSD Socket
    #MYSQL_SOCKET           /var/mysql/mysql.sock
    # Default RedHat Socket
    #MYSQL_SOCKET           /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
    # Default Debian Sarge Socket
    #MYSQL_SOCKET           /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock
    MYSQL_UID_FIELD         '1001'
    MYSQL_USERNAME          **
    MYSQL_USER_TABLE        mailbox
    #MYSQL_WHERE_CLAUSE     server='example.domain.com'

    The problem is that you're currently using the mbox format, but Courier expects the Maildir format.

    Did you follow any of the tutorials here on HowtoForge?
