Hi! I am using ISPConfig 3.0.1.1. When I create mailbox on my server (for example "[email protected]") and try to send e-mail there from other mailbox, I will not receive it. When I look at "Mail-Queue" I have mail there with error: (temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox.) Can some1 help me please?
Delete the directory of the mailbox on the shell (e.f. /var/vmail/example.com/user ) and then send a email to this mailbox.
More errors I deleted dir and i got more errors (temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied maildirmake: /var/vmail/reporter.sk/reporter: Permission denied chmod: changing permissions of `/var/vmail/reporter.sk': Operation not permitted sh: /var/vmail/reporter.sk/reporter/ispconfig_mailsize: No such file or directory /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to create a dot-lock at /var/vmail/reporter.sk/reporter/6486.0.servervg.prestavka.sk.) [email protected]
ls -la /var/vmail/reporter.sk : drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-07-27 12:17 drwxr-xr-x 6 vmail vmail 4096 2009-07-27 00:06 ls -la /usr/bin/maildrop : -rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 170016 2008-05-09 14:38 /usr/bin/maildrop
Please run: chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail/reporter.sk and then try to send a email to the account again.
It's started happening to me Hope you can help me too! Today our mail server just decided to start doing this for no apparent reason In the Webmin postfix module email queue there is the following message under status for every message Code: temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox. ls -la /var/vmail/glemsfordschool.local returns the following Code: root@belle:/var/vmail# ls -la /var/vmail/glemsfordschool.local total 12 drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2010-02-01 15:44 . drwxr-xr-x 5 vmail vmail 4096 2010-02-01 15:57 .. drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2010-02-01 15:44 incoming ls -la /usr/bin/maildrop returns the following: Code: root@belle:/var/vmail# ls -la /usr/bin/maildrop -rwxr-xr-x 1 root vmail 179520 2010-01-30 23:02 /usr/bin/maildrop And still the emails remain with the same problem. No changes have been made to the system prior to this happening. Any ideas please. We are unable to get emails otherwise. Thanks in advance james
The permissions in your system are ok, so your issue is not related to the one in this thread. Did you install any Linux updates or did you use the postfix module in webmin before this started to happen? Have you checked if your disk is not full with "df -h"?
I have had webmin installed with the postfix module since before this happened. No updates for at least a couple of weeks and have restarted since then. Loads of space df -h returns this Code: root@belle:/var/vmail/glemsfordschool.local# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 224G 5.8G 207G 3% / tmpfs 993M 0 993M 0% /lib/init/rw varrun 993M 380K 993M 1% /var/run varlock 993M 0 993M 0% /var/lock udev 993M 140K 993M 1% /dev tmpfs 993M 0 993M 0% /dev/shm lrm 993M 2.5M 991M 1% /lib/modules/2.6.28-17-server/volatile root@belle:/var/vmail/glemsfordschool.local# So lots there.
This question can not be answered that generally and it is not related to ispconfig updates, maildrop is part of your linux distribution or compiled manually and not part of ispconfig. Check the website of your linux distribution if they released a maildrop update since you last updated your system.
It's weird I'm getting the same error: temporary failure. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect() failed: Permission denied /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox. all mail is getting queued in: /var/spool/postfix/deferred I have to make sure I don't loose the mail while I fix this problem. Any idea where I can start looking? an authtest returns: Authentication succeeded. Authenticated: [email protected] (uid 5000, gid 5000) Home Directory: /var/vmail Maildir: /var/vmail/domain.com/webmaster Quota: 0 Encrypted Password:[HASH] Cleartext Password: (none) Options: disableimap=0,disablepop3=0 Any help would be appreciated...
something must have changed your mail config files. The easiest way to restore it is to download the ispconfig 3.0.1.6 tar.gz, unpack it, run the update.php script in the install folder and choose to reconfigure services when the updater asks you.
Sorry to crash this thread, but I also get the same error. Tried to reconfigure services as surgested in #14, but without any luck. Unfortunately I still know very little about linux/Ubuntu, so I have no idea of what to do to solve this problem?
I'm having the same issue on Ubuntu, and I ran the update.php and reconfigured everything and it isnt releasing any of the emails.
Hi, I just ran through the update.php with reconfigure and no dice... How can I tell what updates were installed on ubuntu during the last day or so that might have messed up postfix or maildump? -- Dan
Ok, with so many people experiencing the same issue on the same day, there must definitely be an update that fuzzed this all up for us... Does anyone know the exact process on how postfix interacts with imaildump to "dump" email into the user's respective mailbox? If we disect the process we may be able to debug the problem together. -- Dan
I'am not able to answer anything more in this thread as too many poeple crossposted here. Please post the content o the master.cf, but only one of you guys. If you all post here again and cause chaos, I will simply stop here.
Please run these commands to ensure that maildrop is accessible and that it can connet to courier auth daemon: chmod 755 /var/run/courier/authdaemon/ chmod +s /usr/bin/maildrop if this wont help, compare the lines for maildrop in master.cf with these lines: Code: maildrop unix - n n - - pipe flags=R user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient} ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop} ${sender}
