Hey Requesting help I've set up a server that will host only 1 domain!! All other crap is set and now i want email also. I've installed postfix with courier (took procedure from Debian Etch perfect setup: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_etch_p5) I did everything on that page. I know that is for virtual set up so i hope i didn't mess up.. Now to the questions/problems 1. I've set up an account "[email protected]" and i logged in with root password for server :S but it logs in just fine! The problem is: Code: May 21 18:34:03 tmqserver courierpop3login: chdir Maildir: No such file or directory Right, so i've read that maildir should be created when 1st email gets in but no matter how many emails i send, the error message is always the one above! 2. How do i remove root email and set up other email for 1 domain name? Again, i do not want to use virtual setup since i'm hosting only 1 domain name that will be in use only by me.. This is my main.cf Code: smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU) biff = no append_dot_mydomain = no smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_use_tls = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtpd_scache smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${queue_directory}/smtp_scache myhostname = tmqserver.DOMAIN.TLD alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = /etc/mailname mydestination = tmqserver.DOMAIN.TLD, localhost.DOMAIN.TLD, localhost.localdomain, localhost relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 mailbox_command = mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = all smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600s tls_random_source = dev:/dev/urandom home_mailbox = Maildir/
Usually root's emails are forwarded to postmaster. What's in /etc/aliases? This link might help you: http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2
/etc/aliases Code: # See man 5 aliases for format postmaster: root As for second, i think that link explains it all. Will give it a go..
Could it be that Courier has wrong permissions? Code: May 22 09:08:33 tmqserver courierpop3login: info: chdir(/home/info) failed!! May 22 09:08:33 tmqserver courierpop3login: error: No such file or directory /home/info DOES exist! Since Code: useradd -d /home/sample_user -g users sample_user doesn't create folder, i made it with mkdir and set chown info:users Think this could be a problem?
Right, so now that i created Maildir folders with maildir something command, i get this error when i log in with email client: Code: courierpop3login: chdir Maildir: Permission denied So, what permissions should there be set for Maildir and subdirs? I have chmod 700 set, but group and user?
Right, owner is set to account and group to "users" Login now works without any errors! Hurray for me.. Still tho, sending email to this email account has no result. Nothing in the logs also... What could be a problem? Where to look?
Problem solved Reason for mail not coming in was smtp not set in firewall :S All works now. Thanks falko
Use Code: useradd -d /home/sample_user [COLOR="Red"]-m[/COLOR] -g users sample_user instead; the -m switch creates the homedir.
