Postfix / Procmail does not deliver to right local location

[daFritz84]

Hi all,

I've setup ispconfig on a CentOS 4.7 System and I'm using postfix as my email server. All seems fine so far since I can send and receive emails.

I believe that the emails are stored in a wrong maildir since I cannot see them in UebiMiau Webmail or in a local mail client, but I see them on my harddrive. :confused:

Any clue how comes that?
If you need to have some further insights in my configuration, let me know ...

some part of my maillog:

Please enable the maildir checkbox under management > server > settings in ispconfig.

Hi Till,

I already enabled the checkbox. And the mail is delivered to the location stated in /etc/passwd. But I think the user directory path's are rather strange.

e.g.:
stefan.seifried:x:10006:10005:Stefan Seifried:/home/tmp/install_ispconfig/web5:/bin/false

For your information /home/tmp/install_ispconfig was my directory for installation. But if I follow the path I can find my email in there.

Any ideas why ispconfig uses that path when entering the mail users in my /etc/passwd?

Thanks,
Stefan

This path is indeed starnge. Did you install ISPConfig with its installer or did you installed the sql dump manually?

[daFritz84]

I used the installer. I prepared my system according to the tutorial for centos 4.6 since 4.7 was not available.

The root server itself I'm preparing was originally delivered with CentOS 4.7 and BlueQuartz. But I wiped off BlueQuartz since it is discontinued for some time now :rolleyes:.

Hi, I resolved the problem by editing the dovecot mail_location property to point to the right place. However since I find the used directories very strange I did a clean reinstallatio and now I have also more convenient pathes.

Thanks, for your help attempts Till
