Pls advise. TIA satimis
I suggest you try this: Code: mkdir -p /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1 maildirmake /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1 You also might have to adjust the ownership of the directory.
[root@host satimis]# mkdir -p /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1 [root@host satimis]# maildirmake /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1 Code: maildirmake: File exists [root@host satimis]# maildirmake -q 20971520S /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1 (just hanging here for prolonged time) I have to press [Ctrl]+c to exit it. # ls -l /opt/mail/testdomain.com | grep user1 Code: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 11 21:54 user1 Edit: Further down to "Vacation Install" [root@host ~]# cat /etc/passwd | grep vacation Code: vacation:x:1002:1002::/var/spool/vacation:/sbin/nologin Do I need to manually change it as: Code: vacation:*:65501:65501::0:0:Virtual Vacation:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin ??? Tks satimis
