Email issues
Hey guys,
Again. Thanks for a great product and great help. I know it is all voluntary and it is much appreciated. My server is really not a money maker but I have put in some long hours on making the 15 or so sites on it work. It's more of a learning experience for me. My setup is Ubuntu 9.04 and ISPConfig 3 per - http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-se...04-ispconfig-3 I recently found that I was having email issues. I can't receive any emails to any of the domains that I have setup on my server. I did some research and it seems that this is a semi-common issue. I've searched through my logs to see if I can isolate the issue but don't see anything that stands out to me and most fixes i find either do not apply to my distro or I'm not comfortable trying them. My Linux skills are very limited. Any advice or help? Also, should I backup and reinstall a newer distro as this one is quite old? Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
Additional info
I don't think I can update/upgrade ClamAV with this distro.

Run:
ls -la /var/vmail it should show you a list of directories that have the same names then your email domains. If you see the folders exist, run this command to recursively fix all permissions: chown -R vmail:vmail /var/vmail |
Didn't seem to work
I ran the command and senta test email and this line was added to 'postqeue -p'

Check the permissions for maildrop. It needs to be setuid root. chmod +s /usr/bin/maildrop.

Did you check the permissions of the mailbox and all directories in the path to the mailbox?

I'm not sure what you mean by "the mailbox and all other directories in the path of the mail box". Are these "virtual" mailboxes or is there an actual folder/file for each box? Here is the result of 'ls -la /var/vmail' total 80 drwxr-xr-x 15 vmail vmail 4096 2013-02-26 17:09 . drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 4096 2012-10-16 09:22 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 220 2009-03-02 08:22 .bash_logout -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 3115 2009-03-02 08:22 .bashrc drwx------ 4 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-18 11:16 site1.com drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-14 12:26 site2.info drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-14 12:31 site3.info drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-14 12:26 site4.info drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-14 12:32 site5.info drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-14 12:27 site6.info drwxr-xr-x 3 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-14 12:27 site7.info drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-14 12:28 site8.info drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-14 12:29 site9.info drwx------ 3 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-14 12:29 site10.info -rw------- 1 vmail vmail 1454 2013-02-13 17:01 .mailfilter -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 1382 2013-02-13 17:01 .mailfilter~ drwxr-xr-x 13 vmail vmail 4096 2013-01-13 12:11 mailfilters -rw-r--r-- 1 vmail vmail 675 2009-03-02 08:22 .profile drwx------ 5 vmail vmail 4096 2013-01-02 13:34 site11.com drwx------ 2 vmail vmail 4096 2012-06-14 12:25 site12.com |
