Problems with postfix-mysql

I tried it also with "MYSQL_SERVER 127.0.0.1". Do I have to restart any program?

Code:

MYSQL_SERVER localhost
MYSQL_USERNAME mail_admin
MYSQL_PASSWORD #######
MYSQL_PORT 0
MYSQL_DATABASE mail
MYSQL_USER_TABLE users
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD password
#MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD password
MYSQL_UID_FIELD 5000
MYSQL_GID_FIELD 5000
MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD email
MYSQL_HOME_FIELD "/home/vmail"
MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/')
#MYSQL_NAME_FIELD
MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD quota

Code:

#
# The authentication modules that are linked into authdaemond.  The
# default list is installed.  You may selectively disable modules simply
# by removing them from the following list.  The available modules you
# can use are: authcustom authcram authuserdb authldap authmysql authpam

authmodulelist="authmysql"

 

Yes:

Code:

/etc/init.d/courier-authdaemon restart

Is the uid/gid of user/group vmail really 5000?

 

I had whitespaces after mail_admin and password.

...but nothing has changed, do I have to restart any program?

 

Thank you, that was one problem!

But now I get:

"Unable to open the maildir for this account -- the maildir doesn't exist or has incorrect ownership or permissions."

I will search for this problem in the forum....

 

When does it happen? When you send an email to that account, or when you try to fetch emails with POP3/IMAP? In the latter case you first have to send an email to the account in question - the Maildir will then be created.

 

It happens when I want to fetch emails with sqwebmail.

I wrote allready an email to this account.

Should there be a folder in /home/vmail ? Because there is no folder.

Is there a log where I can see if the mail has arrived at my mailserver because I get no "undeliverable" message from my provider.

Code:

Nov 10 10:04:00 m34s12 courierpop3login: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:62.47.184.28]
Nov 10 10:04:09 m34s12 courierpop3login: LOGIN FAILED, ip=[::ffff:62.47.184.28]
Nov 10 10:05:25 m34s12 last message repeated 2 times
Nov 10 10:06:07 m34s12 postfix/trivial-rewrite[24810]: warning: do not list domain m34s12.vlinux.de in BOTH mydestination and virtual_mailbox_domains

 

Yes, /var/log/mail.log.

You have m34s12.vlinux.de in both mydestination and in the domains table in the database. Remove it from one of them and restart Postfix!

 

I removed it and restarted postfix...

mail.log

Code:

Hey!

Thank you very much for the help here! I cant explain the problem, but the solution have been:

Have seperate users for the database and restart!

Of some reason it helped when I created a new user!

I found that, because of some mistake when editing some of the mysql*.cf files I removed the user line! and then the /var/log/mail.log told me that it was the wrong username and password?!

And now my mail server works! thank you for the help!

NOTE! The user for the database I first used worked well and is still in use now, just only for pureftpd-mysql!

 

same problem, distinct solution

Hi all

I've a Debian sarge testing server (i'd tried with stable too) and a month ago i'd to reinstall, but the server never was the same

in the past I was running with courier+postfix+mysql but at reinstallation i've the same error every time i try to connect via smtp (courier pop & imap are ok):

Code:

Nov <timestamp> lared postfix/trivial-rewrite[9542]: fatal: mysql:/etc/postfix/virtual.cf(0,100): table lookup problem

i've tried using mysql 4.1 and 5.0 (i don't remember what version of mysql-server was running before), it's all ok, all users, all passwords... i tried with root user too!!

any idea??

 

Make sure that the MySQL user and password are correct. Which Postfix version do you use? Run

Code:

postconf -d | grep mail_version

to find that out.

 

postfix version

Code:

server:/etc/postfix# postconf -d | grep mail_version
mail_version = 2.2.4

user & passwords are ok, i'd tryed loggin directly too:

Code:

server:/etc/postfix# mysql -u <user>
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 101 to server version: 5.0.13-rc-Debian_1-log

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql>

 

Ok, the format of the MySQL lookups changed from Postfix 2.1 to Postfix 2.2 (in Debian stable you have Postfix 2.1.5). What's in /etc/postfix/virtual.cf?

BTW, is your problem somehow related to this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier?

 

postfix file config

virtual.cf contents:

Code:

user = [I]<user_name>[/I]
password = [I]-> I left blank password while errors[/I]
dbname = maildb
table = virtual
select_field = goto
where_field = address
hosts = [I]server[/I]

server = computer name = LAN IP Address... don't rules with localhost and 127.0.0.1 too

My virtual table is:

Code:

CREATE TABLE virtual (
address varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
goto varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
UNIQUE KEY address (address)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

My guide to config was this (in spanish): http://lared.dsland.org/tmp/Postfix%20Courier%20y%20MySQL%20.txt that i got from http://valenciawireless.net/weblog/vw/staticpages/index.php?page=2003062417002455

My server was running with sarge testing from june to october (postfix was running perfect), stable in october (problems) and testing again three weeks ago (still having problems)

Now... How we name the baby?

 

Try this in your virtual.cf:

Code:

user = <user_name>
password = <password>
hosts = server
dbname = maildb
query = SELECT goto FROM virtual WHERE address='%s'

and restart Postfix.

 

a great amount of mess

nothing happens

the problem is there yet

no incoming / outgoing mail throught postfix

I should change all .cf files 'cause all appears at /var/log/mail.err with a "table lookup problem" message

I think the problem isn't in postfix configuration, is in the postfix-mysql connector.

how could I downgrade postfix with aptitude?

thanks for your help

 

I don't think it's a problem with the Postfix package (your Postfix package is from testing, not unstable), but rather with the configuration.
Did you have a look at this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier?

 

thanks

I'll read it tomorrow after job...

thanks
