Postfix Problems

I'm having some problems receiving mails but I can send fine. I'm using the Perfect Mandriva 2006 setup. Here are my logs and setup files.

Can someone please help me out. Thanks in advannce.

Hey Till,

Thanks for the response. I do have maildir setup on my server, however, the mail didn't appear in malli's inbox. I have aliases setup for this inbox, admin, administrator, postmaster and webmaster. Is there anything I could check to see if the mail is there?

Thanks

Hey Till,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction because unchecking maildir fixed the problem. Now mails go and come to the server. However, if I wanted to use maildir, would it be as simple as checking the box again or would I have to run a script to convert the mbox to maildir?

Below is my output:
ls -la /var/spool/mail
total 428
drwxrwsr-x 2 root mail 4096 Sep 1 08:25 ./
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Aug 28 17:50 ../

Thanks,

Rocky

 

You'd have to replace your existing POP3 server with a POP3 server that uses Maildir, like Courier or Dovecot, and you'd have to enable Maildir again in ISPConfig. To convert your mbox mailboxes to Maildir, you 'd have to use a script such as mb2md.

 

Hey Falko,

Thanks for the response. I think Mandriva 2006 is using cyrus as the default imap/pop server which doesn't support mbox. Now, would it be as simple as running the following?
urpme cyrus
urpmi courier
mb2md command to convert mbox to maildir for each users mailbox
check the option to enable maildir in ISPConfig
restart ISPConfig

Thanks,

Rocky

 

Hey Till,

Thanks for the reply, but I still have a few questions. How would I install mb2md on my Mandriva 2006/ISPConfig box and where would I find the mbox file to convert?

Would it be the files located in var/mail/ or the files located at /var/spoo/mail/?

There is a Maildir in /var/www/web9/ and also one in /var/www/web9/user/john/.
Will my destination be /var/www/web9/Maildir/ or /var/www/web9/user/john/Maildir?

Assuming that the mbox file is under /var/mail/ and the destination is under /var/www/web9/Maildir/, does this syntax look correct?
mb2md -c -s /var/mail/john -d /var/www/web9/Maildir/john

Please help me out with this one because I'm confused.

Thanks,

Rocky

 

Hey Till,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I've done what you told me to by first downloading mb2md and placing it in the /usr/bin directory. I then ran the following command:

I was logged in a root
sudo -u john mb2md-3.20.pl -s /var/mail/john -d /var/www/web3/user/john/Maildir

It seemed to have worked because I noticed that it created 3 additional folder in /var/www/web3/user/john/Maildir:
cur
new
tmp

I then went into ISPConfig manager and check the box to use maildir and restarted ISPConfig. Unfortunately, when I sent a mail from the outside to John's account, it didn't come through. The log said it was delivered though. I then went back into ISPConfig manager and unchecked the box for maildir and restarted ISPConfig. I sent another mail and it came through.

I was wondering if I had to change all the mailboxes into maildir format before this could work. I have 3 additional mail account in my /var/mail/ folder. They are:
admispconfig
mail
postfix

Do I have to convert those as well? If so, what would the destination directory be?

Thanks,

Rocky

 

Which POP3 server do you currently use? I guess it's a POP3 server that uses mbox. What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

?

 

Below is my netstat -tap result.

Contents of my xinetd.d file:
cvs
imap
imaps
ipop2
ipop3
pop3s
proftpd-xinetd
rsync
sshd-xinetd

Next step is to remove imap, imaps, ipop2, ipop3 and pop3s from my server Would I use the command urpme imap and so on?

Then when I tried installing courier, it said:
[root@linux etc]# urpmi courier
no package named courier
The following packages contain courier:
courier-authdaemond
courier-authlib-ldap
courier-authlib-mysql
courier-authlib-pgsql
courier-authlib-userdb
courier-imap
courier-imap-ldap
courier-imap-mysql
courier-imap-pgsql
courier-imap-pop
courier-imap-utils
libcourier-authlib0
libcourier-authlib0-devel

If I remove imap, imaps, ipop2, ipop3 and pop3s from my server, would courier become the default and turn on or would I have to turn it on manually?

 

What's in those files? There's a setting in them (disable=yes or something like that) that lets you disable these services. Restart xinetd afterwards.

You don't need to uninstall them when they are disabled in xinetd.

See

Code:

man chkconfig

to find out how to make Courier start at boot time.

 

Hey Falko,

I've edited the ipop3 file and disabled it by adding disable = yes. I then installed courier-imap, which installed successfully. I start courier by running /etc/init.d/courier-imap start. I went into ISPConfig and changed my Mail server to use maildir. I then tried connected to my email and received the following error when loggin in:

Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to localhost:110 (Connection refused) in /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/web/webmail/inc/class.uebimiau_mail.php on line 66

Any suggestions?
