Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier, MySQL And SquirrelMail (Ubuntu 8.10)
 

I have one problem with this tutorial

Postfix works as MTA, but there is a problem. Its crearte the virtual users folder in wrong place. Then when courier goes to look for email says: chdir failed.

I think the problem is that postfix leave the emails in one place an courier search it in other.

Postfix create this folder structure
/home/vmail/domain1.com/cur
/home/vmail/domain1.com/new
/home/vmail/domain1.com/tmp

/home/vmail/domain2.com/cur
/home/vmail/domain2.com/new
/home/vmail/domain2.com/tmp

But courier search the emails at

/home/vmail/domain1.com/user/
/home/vmail/domain2.com/user/

I think that the problem is in postfix configuration at file /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf
At the tutorial says:
I think than the line query = SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') FROM users WHERE email='%s' its wrong. Its output some like domain1.com

Courier search the emails with the configuration in /etc/courier/authmysqlrc:The line CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') output some like domain1.com/user but Postfix configuration output some like domain1.com/

Is this true?
Is this the cause of chdir failed at courier?

I think that the correct line at /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf must be:
query = SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email, '@', -1), '/', SUBSTRING_INDEX(email, '@', 1), '/') FROM users WHERE email='%s'
Am I ok?

Thanks, I have learned a lot with this tutorial

Ok, I have seen that the tutorial has been corrected

Thanks

Another thing, how could I check if SpamAssaissin is working correctly? any log or some?

I see at /etc/default/spamsassissn that spamassassin daemon is not enabled. Is it normal?

I didn't change the tutorial, and it was always working for me. :confused:

Please check /var/log/mail.log.

Hello VTcop
 

I had checked my cat /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_mailboxes.cf
below is the setting
user = mail_admin
password = mail_admin_password
dbname = mail
#query = SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/') FROM users WHERE email='%s'
# Added by wasim 7 April 09
query = SELECT CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email, '@', -1), '/', SUBSTRING_INDEX(email, '@', 1), '/') FROM users WHERE email='%s'
hosts = 127.0.0.1

# cat /etc/courier/authmysqlrc
MYSQL_SERVER localhost
MYSQL_USERNAME mail_admin
MYSQL_PASSWORD mail_admin_password
MYSQL_PORT 0
MYSQL_DATABASE mail
MYSQL_USER_TABLE users
MYSQL_CRYPT_PWFIELD password
#MYSQL_CLEAR_PWFIELD password
MYSQL_UID_FIELD 5000
MYSQL_GID_FIELD 5000
MYSQL_LOGIN_FIELD email
MYSQL_HOME_FIELD "/home/vmail"
MYSQL_MAILDIR_FIELD CONCAT(SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',-1),'/',SUBSTRING_INDEX(email,'@',1),'/')
#MYSQL_NAME_FIELD
MYSQL_QUOTA_FIELD quota

Please tell me what changes i need to make so that i can able to login from Webmail

If you've followed the tutorial to the letter and sent a welcome mail to that account, you should be able to log in without any problems. If not, please check /var/log/mail.log.

You must be sure that at ALL lines like
you put your mysql user password.

There is some lines on some files that you must forgotten, sure.

For example at six Postfix configuration files
/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_*.cf

or some saslauthd configuration file /etc/pam.d/smtpThis is a common error

Hello

I'd re check every /etc/postfix/mysql-virtual_*.cf files user name and passwd is OK. but still i'm facing the same issue

hi

sure! spamassassin has a built-in test-feature: http://spamassassin.apache.org/gtube/
send a mail containing that string to your server and then search for it in the quarantine-folder (/var/lib/amavis/virusmails) ;)
yes, it's normal, because you don't use spamassassin directly but via amavis.


hth

cheers,

Hi
