Virtual Users.....: pop3d-ssl: chdir No such file or directory
 

Hi I follow the "Virtual Users And Domains With Postfix, Courier And MySQL (Fedora Core 5)" and I getting the error:

Nov 9 14:48:41 x-apache pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=[XXXXX]
Nov 9 14:48:41 x-apache pop3d-ssl: chdir XXXX.com/sales/: No such file or directory
Nov 9 14:48:44 x-apache pop3d-ssl: Connection, ip=[XXXXX]
Nov 9 14:48:44 x-apache pop3d-ssl: chdir XXXX.com/sales/: No such file or directory

any guess?

I bet 40% is something I mistype, 35% I just forget to type, 15% I overlooked and 10% is a real error. :-)

Thanks
Alex.

Did you send an email to that user before you tried to fetch mails? Maildir is created when the first email for that user arrives.

I will send an email and let you know.
Thanks!
Alex.

I still have the same problem

I was able to send to the mailbox

# mail

But when I check the mailbox the mailog shows:

The /home/vmail folder is empty, the permissions seems right

Your mail to sales has been delivered to root! Did you set up any forwarding rules? Is XXXX.com listed only in mydestination in /etc/postfix/main.cf, or also in the domains table in the MySQL database?

It's listed in the MySQL and main.cf (mydestination and myhostname)

Alex.

You cannot have a domain in mydestination that is in the domains table and vice versa.
If you want to use the domain for virtual email accounts, list it in the domains table; if you want to use it for "real" email accounts, put it in mydestination.

similar problem
 

To start, I want to apologise for hijacking this thread, but I think I have similar problems.
I keep getting a message in my /var/log/maillog saying:
I tried this:
[root@aaa ~]# postconf -n | grep mydestination
proxy_read_maps = $local_recipient_maps $mydestination $virtual_alias_maps $virtual_alias_domains $virtual_mailbox_maps $virtual_mailbox_domains $relay_recipient_maps $relay_domains $canonical_maps $sender_canonical_maps $recipient_canonical_maps $relocated_maps $transport_maps $mynetworks $virtual_mailbox_limit_maps
and as you can see I have nu mydestiniation set.

Any ideas on what could cause this message then ?

Besides, in the tutorial itself i see:
so initially I changed this to
I want to remark that my server aaa.bbb.com should be mailserver for the domain aaa.bbb.com and is also named like that. I think this should not be causing my problems, but just wanted to let you know.

There must be a mydestination line in main.cf if you followed the tutorial (unless you deleted it afterwards).
What's the output of ?

Output of
I have tried and tried and I think in my struggling to get it running I have also tried deleting the mydestination and haven't put it back afterwards.
So I've checked in the tutorial once again and indeed found the line where we should set mydestination. So I changed it to what the tut says. My output of postconf -e | grep mydestination now says:
What I've just come up with now, is that this doesn't change a thing because in the previous situation with an absent mydestination variable postfix would have taken its defaults, which is $myhostname which is also aaa.bbb.com
After I changed it I restarted postfix.
For testing I delivered a message for this domain and I still get:
