Problems with smtpd I have been able to open up port 25 and dovecot runs as expected. I think it is something else going wrong. This is to read in /var/log/mail.err after reloading postfix: Code: May 14 02:00:18 suse10064lamp postfix/smtpd[25290]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/vmaps.db: Invalid argument and in /var/logs/mail: Code: May 14 02:07:25 suse10064lamp postfix/smtpd[25307]: private/proxymap socket: wanted attribute: (list terminator) May 14 02:07:25 suse10064lamp postfix/smtpd[25307]: input attribute name: (end) May 14 02:07:25 suse10064lamp postfix/smtpd[25307]: dict_proxy_open: connect to map=unix:passwd.byname status=0 server_flags=0120 May 14 02:07:25 suse10064lamp postfix/smtpd[25307]: dict_open: proxy:unix:passwd.byname May 14 02:07:25 suse10064lamp postfix/smtpd[25307]: dict_open: hash:/etc/aliases May 14 02:07:25 suse10064lamp postfix/smtpd[25307]: dict_open: hash:/etc/postfix/canonical May 14 02:07:25 suse10064lamp postfix/smtpd[25307]: dict_open: hash:/etc/postfix/valias May 14 02:07:25 suse10064lamp postfix/smtpd[25307]: fatal: open database /etc/postfix/vmaps.db: Invalid argument May 14 02:07:26 suse10064lamp postfix/master[24736]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 25307 exit status 1 May 14 02:07:26 suse10064lamp postfix/master[24736]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling My main.cf looks like this (at the bottom) Code: readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/packages/postfix/README_FILES inet_protocols = all biff = no mail_spool_directory = /var/mail canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual relocated_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relocated transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sender_canonical masquerade_exceptions = root masquerade_classes = envelope_sender, header_sender, header_recipient myhostname = suse10064lamp.site program_directory = /usr/lib/postfix masquerade_domains = mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain defer_transports = disable_dns_lookups = no mailbox_command = mailbox_transport = strict_8bitmime = no disable_mime_output_conversion = no smtpd_sender_restrictions = hash:/etc/postfix/access smtpd_client_restrictions = smtpd_helo_required = no smtpd_helo_restrictions = strict_rfc821_envelopes = no smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination smtp_sasl_auth_enable = no smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = no #smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_use_tls = no smtp_use_tls = no alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases mailbox_size_limit = 0 message_size_limit = 10240000 virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/vhosts virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/vmail virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmaps virtual_uid_maps = static:1000 virtual_gid_maps = static:1000 virtual_alias_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/valias Can anyone tell something from this? / David
Problem less big The las errors had to do with some misconfiguration when i tried to use gid 1000 because that id is used by ftp on my server. Code: virtual_uid_maps = static:1000 virtual_gid_maps = static:1000 So I am able to use mailaccounts that I alias to some other mail. If I remove alias mails sent to accounts on my server are bounced saying that the user does not exist: Code: [HTML]<<< 550 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>... User unknown <<< 554 Error: no valid recipients Reporting-MTA: dns; mail.domain.com
Did you follow this tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_postfix_virtual_hosting to the letter? Because I don't use /etc/postfix/vmaps.db in that tutorial, so I guess you made some changes. However, run Code: postmap /etc/postfix/vmaps and restart Postfix to get rid of the /etc/postfix/vmaps.db error.
I too am trying to follow this tutorial but seem have made a basic error and would appreciate any pointers: Thhe configuration file stops loading at the lines 24 auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/users 25 auth_passdb = passwd-file /etc/dovecot/passwd message is "error in config file .....: Unknown setting: userdb Dovecot version is 1.0beta 3 running under FreeBSD 6.0 Thanks
I solved ( or worked around) the problem I had earlier - see a few messages ago - by using a different format userdb passwd-file { args = /etc/dovecot/users } instead of the style used in the tutorial. Or maybe I changed something else and fixed another problem ??? Anyway everything is now working.
