[jayesha]

Dear all ,

I am trying to install the postfix from howtoforge link from 3-5 days http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_users_postfix_courier_mailscanner_clamav_c entos but I followed the same URL , but getting some problems ... how to fix it ? i am not getting any way . I am very sorry for my below log post but it will clear my config mistake if any ..
Please help & guid me ,
OS :-- CentOS release 4.4 2.6.9-42.EL i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

1) when I set "virtual_transport = virtual" my emails are follwing perfect , But as per documentation when i set "virtual_transport = maildrop" mails are getting queue with error as follows

Jun 29 16:11:06 mail postfix/smtpd[25009]: connect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Jun 29 16:11:07 mail postfix/smtpd[25009]: 3DCC82814F: client=localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Jun 29 16:11:07 mail postfix/cleanup[25017]: 3DCC82814F: message-id=<20080629104107.3DCC82814F@mail.yourdomain.com>
Jun 29 16:11:07 mail postfix/qmgr[24993]: 3DCC82814F: from=<postmaster@jayesh.com>, size=404, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jun 29 16:11:07 mail postfix/smtpd[25009]: disconnect from localhost.localdomain[127.0.0.1]
Jun 29 16:11:07 mail maildrop[25020]: Unable to create log file.
Jun 29 16:11:07 mail postfix/pipe[25019]: 3DCC82814F: to=<test2@jayesh.com>, relay=maildrop, delay=1, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to create log file. )

2) At which line "/usr/sbin/maildirmake.sh & /usr/sbin/maildirdel.sh " related line need to be put in "create-mailbox.php" "delete.php" of postfixadmin ?

Jun 29 16:11:07 mail postfix/pipe[25019]: 3DCC82814F: to=<test2@jayesh.com>, relay=maildrop, delay=1, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: /usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to create log file. )

Where's the Maildrop log directory? What permissions does it have?

[jayesha]

Hi falko ,

Thanks for you reply . My 1st problem is solved now , it was the file ownership problem , I changed the ownership from "root" to "vmail" and is woking perfect with "virtual_transport = maildrop" .

Maildrop log directory is /var/log/

[root@mail ~]# ls -l /var/log/maildroprc.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 459 Jul 1 08:33 /var/log/maildroprc.log


But what could be reason that i am getting login faild form 110 / 143 i.e pop & imap ?

IF you see in my below posted config file i have only changed the "authdaemond_path" as
#authdaemond_path:/usr/var/spool/authdaemon/socket
authdaemond_path:/var/spool/authdaemon/socket

This is because in my case the "socket" is inside the /var/spoo/authdaemon/ directory

I checked with "/usr/var/spool/authdaemon/socket" path too but still no luck.

Do I need to add any more parameter setting in below config file or it is file permission issue. what I am missing for pop3 and imap ?

Thanks & Regards

Dear all ,

I think i am missing something about authdeamon with mysql . Because when I configure one account in Evolution , I am getting following error in /var/log/maillog
####
Jul 1 13:47:27 mail pop3d: Disconnected, ip=[::ffff:10.15.63.250]
Jul 1 13:47:29 mail postfix/smtpd[24901]: warning: SASL authentication failure: Password verification failed
####

After searching in Google , now i have changed following parameter as in below file
-r-------- 1 daemon daemon 9947 Jun 28 23:05 /etc/authlib/authmysqlrc
cat /etc/authlib/authmysqlrc

MYSQL_SERVER localhost
MYSQL_USERNAME postfix
MYSQL_PASSWORD postfix
I am using postfixadmin postfixadmin-2.1.0 and so in mysql "postfix" name database is present and for this username is "postfix" password "postfix" ( as default mention in DATABASE_MYSQL.TXT file of postfix admin )

And the same db , username , password is using in all /etc/postfix/*.cf ( as mention in how-to documnetation )

user = postfix
password = postfix
hosts = localhost
dbname = postfix

what configuration i am missing for authentication , so that smtpauth , pop and imap will get work ? Is any one gone through this problem if yes please help and guide me .

Thanks & Regards
