Hello, I'm somewhat new to linux and followed this tutorial as closely as i could. If i try to login to an email account created I get an error message such as: "imapd: chdir visual-rebirth.com/user/: No such file or directory" If I send an email to an address on this server i guet the following error: "connect to transport private/amavis: No such file or directory Jul 26 02:18:11 visual-rebirth postfix/error[25761]: 5F54E37680AF: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=3534, delays=3534/0.01/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)" Any ideas on where to look to sort this out? Thanks in advance for your time. My main.cf is as follows
What's the URL of the tutorial? Did you send a welcome mail to that account? The necessary directories are created automatically when the first email arrives.
The tutorial's here When I send the email using mailx I get the same error: warning: connect to transport private/amavis: No such file or directory relay=none, delay=0.04, delays=0.03/0/0/0.01, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (mail transport unavailable)
Hi again, Many thanks for you time on this. Main.cf is above, netstat -tap and master.cf bellow Netstata -tap master.cf
Code: amavis unix - - - - 2 smtp -o smtp_data_done_timeout=1200 -o smtp_send_xforward_command=yes is missing in your master.cf. The end of your master.cf must look as described in chapter 9 on http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-users-domains-postfix-courier-mysql-squirrelmail-ubuntu-10.04-p3
Thanks! Feeling silly for having missed those lines =) Sadly now I get the following: Not sure if related but on my transport table I have: [Domain] [Transport] visual-rebirth.com smtp:mail.visual-rebirth.com
I just completed the install and the problem I'm getting is the domains and mailboxes are not being automatically created with the welcome message. Any ideas? What actually creates the mailbox? mailx [email protected] But the there is no /home/vmail/example.com or sales inside it
Have you checked /var/log/mail.log to see if the message is actually delivered or if an error occurred?
Code: fatal: bad string length 0 < 1: virtual_mailbox_base = warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/virtual pid 3240 exit status 1 warning: /usr/lib/postfix/virtual: bad command startup -- throttling
Well, I'm here for the help too so I might not be much help to you, but from your error message I'm guessing you should go have a look in your /etc/postfix/main.cf to for the "virtual_mailbox_base" line.
