The problem started at:- fmaster@ser01:~$ cd Maildir/new Code: -su: cd: Maildir/new: Not a directory satimis@ser01:~$ tail /var/log/mail.log Code: Feb 16 18:39:43 ser01 postfix/cleanup[2196]: 012A59FE48: message-id=<[email protected]> Feb 16 18:39:43 ser01 postfix/bounce[2199]: EF49D9FE45: sender non-delivery notification: 012A59FE48 Feb 16 18:39:43 ser01 postfix/qmgr[2189]: 012A59FE48: from=<>, size=2330, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 16 18:39:43 ser01 postfix/qmgr[2189]: EF49D9FE45: removed Feb 16 18:39:43 ser01 postfix/local[2198]: 012A59FE48: to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0.01, delays=0/0/0/0, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to maildir) Feb 16 18:39:43 ser01 postfix/qmgr[2189]: 012A59FE48: removed Feb 16 18:39:46 ser01 postfix/smtpd[2191]: disconnect from unknown[xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (fixed IP) Feb 16 18:43:06 ser01 postfix/anvil[2194]: statistics: max connection rate 1/60s for ([smtp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (fixed IP)) at Feb 16 18:37:41 Feb 16 18:43:06 ser01 postfix/anvil[2194]: statistics: max connection count 1 for ([smtp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (fixed IP)) at Feb 16 18:37:41 Feb 16 18:43:06 ser01 postfix/anvil[2194]: statistics: max cache size 1 at Feb 16 18:37:41 fmaster@ser01:~$ ls Code: Maildir fmaster@ser01:~$ cat Maildir No printout fmaster@ser01:~$ ls -al Maildir Code: -rw------- 1 fmaster fmaster 0 2012-02-16 18:31 Maildir satimis@ser01:~$ tail /var/log/mail.log Code: Feb 16 18:50:21 ser01 postfix/cleanup[2363]: D5A6A9FE45: message-id=<[email protected]> Feb 16 18:50:21 ser01 postfix/qmgr[2189]: D5A6A9FE45: from=<[email protected]>, size=2991, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 16 18:50:21 ser01 postfix/local[2364]: D5A6A9FE45: to=<[email protected]>, relay=local, delay=0.8, delays=0.79/0/0/0.01, dsn=5.2.0, status=bounced (maildir delivery failed: create maildir file /home/fmaster/Maildir/tmp/1329389421.P2364.ser01.mydomain.com: Not a directory) Feb 16 18:50:21 ser01 postfix/cleanup[2363]: 756319FE48: message-id=<[email protected]> Feb 16 18:50:21 ser01 postfix/bounce[2365]: D5A6A9FE45: sender non-delivery notification: 756319FE48 Feb 16 18:50:21 ser01 postfix/qmgr[2189]: 756319FE48: from=<>, size=5059, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Feb 16 18:50:21 ser01 postfix/qmgr[2189]: D5A6A9FE45: removed Feb 16 18:50:21 ser01 postfix/smtpd[2358]: disconnect from nm25-vm0.bullet.mail.sp2.yahoo.com[98.139.91.228] Feb 16 18:50:25 ser01 postfix/smtp[2366]: 756319FE48: to=<[email protected]>, relay=mta7.am0.yahoodns.net[66.94.238.147]:25, delay=3.8, delays=0/0/1.7/2.1, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 ok dirdel) Feb 16 18:50:25 ser01 postfix/qmgr[2189]: 756319FE48: removed satimis@ser01:~$ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep home_mailbox Code: home_mailbox = Maildir/ dig mx mydomain.com nslookup mydomain.com worked without problem showing mydomain.com and fixed IP Mails came but unable to create a mailbox. Then I made another test also following the same document. I installed the server on another VM, running Debian 600 desktop(64 bit) which was also cloned on another Debian 600 desktop VM. No problem was found. The document (Howto) works perfectly on Debian 600. Mails were received by postfix. Please help me to understand the problem. I have injected hours of work on this test. TIA B.R. satimis
re did you send one email from root to fmaster locally? the mailbox is created when you send the first email
Yes. Maildir/new has been created. Mails from yahoo arrive the server but could not be delivered to the mailbox Maildir/new, saying "Relate access denied" satimis
