Problem on Perfect Setup SUSE10.1 : Maildir can not be occured

Problem on Perfect Setup SUSE10.1 : Maildir can not be created

Hi to all, I follow the Perfect Setup SUSE10.1 guide, I didnt install ispconfig, I havent much time, and actually I have no idea about ispconfig, but I use webmin, maybe they are same role, anyway my problem is when I add a user from command line and to activate the user I send an email to the user, in redhat when I send a test message to the new user, Maildir occured autımatically, but unfourtunately in SUSE ,it couldnt be created automaticalyy, I will use postfix and webmin, webmin shows user's mail directory is /home/user/Maildir but there is no Maildir, cyruss-sasl and related things I install by the following the perfect setup suse guide,
can you help me, pls, I couldnt figure out that problem
thanks in advance

 

When you do a useradd, can you use the flag to add the contents of /etc/skel? This way, whenever you add a user with useradd, if /etc/skel/Maildir exists, it will be created in the new user's home directory.

<edit>
mkdir /etc/skel/Maildir
useradd -m newUser
</edit>

Hope that helps.

 

yes it occured ,but stilll the emails are not occured in that.how can it be I dont know, is it not complete in the HOWTO, has anybody saw that problem before , when install suse 10.1

 

Did you check the box in Ispconfig for 'Maildir' in Server settings?
Restart ispcofig_server?
Who owns the Maildir directory?

Sorry if you've thought of this: I'm a noob.

 

thank you jjw for trying to help me, I didnt install ispconfig because I use webmin, I dunno maybe they cannot work together, I have no idea about ispcconfig, if I install ispconfig , will I able to use webmin and Maildir services, mycompany uses them and new mail server should have these things, as a result of this I wonder, there will be any problem about using webmin and Maildir , I want to get emails in the directory Maildir and reach them from webmin,
thank you again

 

So, are you using:

Code:

home_mailbox = Maildir/

in main.cf?

 

yes I use that

 

Did you reload Postrfix or restart the server?

Sorry if you've thought of that: I don't know anything about Suse, and I'm a noob anyway...

 

What's the output of

Code:

netstat -tap

? What's in /etc/postfix/main.cf (please strip out the comments)?

 

unfourtunatel I am not at work, I cant look the server , but monday I will immediately look for netstat command,
I wonder something, I didnt get emails to the Maildir, then I install ISPconfig,I thought maybe I can receive emails by using ISPconfiguration, but when I install by using all things on perfect setup howto, when I try to connect the 192.168.0.200:81 from another computer in lan, I couldnt enter the site, I use the https, when I enter http ,, isp warns me by hint to use https , I thought that yes the configuration ok, because it can warn me, but I changed url to the https, now it said there is no page, what can be the problem, I will look the other things then write tomorrow from work again, bye

 

hi to all,
As I said before , Maildir is not be made automatically, for maildir I install courier-imap according to Perfect Setup SUSE HOWTO, I wonder to use Maildir , should I also install qmail,too. I extracted the qmail.tar but there is no installation file, such as config or configure etc, why courier-imap does not build the maildir directory under all users,what I should do for this plls say something to help to solve this problem

 

What about my previous post? And why do you try to install qmail???

 

this is netstat output :

When I send an email to myserver from hotmail or another server, it says that:

Code:

maildir delivery failed: link to /home/sedat1903/Maildir/new/1158216607.V343 Ie0c06bM926.mail: Permission denied

As I said before when I send a test message to a new user , Maildir should be occured automatically, now Maildir didnt occured,and I mkdir Maildir, and under it ,new tmp and cur, now mail can go there and cannot write in that , because ,Maildir should not be made by manually, when a user been added, and activated , then it should be builded,
as I said before ,firs time, I made my mailserver on redhat, I install courier-imap,and configured , then a add a new user, then send test message to the user, Maildir builded automatically, not done anythig more,just install courier-imap, why in suse,it cannot be, what should be problem, pls help,thanks

 

I try to install qmail, because I couldnt make Maildir builded aoutomatically, I thuoght that maybe qmail can help to make Maildir automatically,I am in despreate mode, so I try everything, and as you understand I can be called newbie on linux, just try to figure out this, I tried everything, just because of that I try to install qmail.

 

What's the output of

Code:

ls -la /home/sedat1903/Maildir

?

 

Code:

total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root          root  4096 2006-09-15 12:52 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 sedat1903 users 4096 2006-09-15 12:52 ..

The output is above, I read from a book ,it says that

PHP:

With maildir-style delivery, Postfix normally creates the necessary directories and files, if the user's credentials permit it; however, as a security precaution, if the parent directory is world-writable, Postfix delivery agents will not create any additional files or directories.


I think the problem is postfix confuguration, because courier is working well, I installed as you described in perfect setup howto.
Have you had any problem like this, or anyone had this, or just for me.
I am gonna be mad, I couldnt find the problem...

 

hi
I try a thing more
as I tried before, again I add Maildir by

Code:

maildirmake Maildir

in /etc/skel
now when a user added, Maildir and diretories new,cur,tmp are created automatically ,I know I tried before this, but I didnt look the logs, now there is a thing that can make sense,

PHP:

Sep 16 19:24:26 mail postfix/local[30058]: warning: perhaps you need to create the maildirs in advance
