postfix - /home/vmail is not created
 
Hello,

I'm following this HowTo:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Po...ailSystemHowto
when I try to log in with squirrelmail, I get this ERROR: Connection dropped by IMAP server.

The problem might be, that there are no files or directorys in /home/vmail

Creating domains and mailadresses with Postfixadmin works perfectly fine (checked it with phpmyadmin), but no direcotrys are created.

the logfile, while sending the welcome mail shows me:

Can anyone help?
Thanks, johannes

P.s.: I skipped the part installing and setting up SMTP authentication, but I thinks thats fine...

The directory is created by postfix when the first email arrives in the mailbox.

well, exactly this is the problem.
It is NOT created and the mail is not delivered --> see "status=bounced (bad address syntax" in the logfile

chek if vmail is owend bij vmail

Code:
root@localhost#ls -la /home
example
Code:
drwx------  5 vmail                  vmail                  4096 Jun  9 20:47 vmail

nzimas 21st December 2012 15:05
Same problem here. Sending a message to a newly vmail mailbox does not generate the mail dirs.

The perms seem correct:
drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Dec 2 23:45

Followed this tutorial:
http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual-us...untu-12.04-lts

Found the point of failure, although it should not happen.

According to the postfix log:
127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024: Connection refused

However, telnet tells a different tale:
root@langata:/usr/src# telnet 127.0.0.1 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mail.domain.com ESMTP Postfix (Ubuntu)

I'm puzzled.

Looks like amavisd (which should be running on port 10024) isn't running. Please restart it.

Amavis is definitely running and listening on port 10024

Code:
root@langata:/home/administrator# netstat -tap | grep amavis
tcp        0      0 localhost:10024        *:*                    LISTEN      1697/amavisd (maste
root@langata:/home/administrator#

Please restart it and try again.

Did you check if your server is running out of memory?
