Postfix maldir

[satimis]

Hi folks,

CentOS 4.4 amd64

On;
Virtual Users With Postfix, PostfixAdmin, Courier, Mailscanner, ClamAV On CentOS - Page 5
http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_us...amav_centos_p5

I was stuck on;
[root@host satimis]# maildirmake /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1

maildirmake: No such file or directory

Whether I need to replace it with;
[root@host satimis]# mkdir -p /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1/public_html

followed by;
[root@host satimis]# maildirmake /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1/Maildir

[root@host satimis]# maildirmake -q 20971520S /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1/Maildir

then
[root@host satimis]# chmod g-r,o-r /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1/Maildir/maildirsize

[root@host satimis]# chown -R mail.mail /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1


using /mail OR /vmail on the directory path and "vmail.vmail" ???

Pls advise. TIA

I suggest you try this:

mkdir -p /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1
maildirmake /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1

You also might have to adjust the ownership of the directory.

[root@host satimis]# mkdir -p /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1
[root@host satimis]# maildirmake /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1

maildirmake: File exists

[root@host satimis]# maildirmake -q 20971520S /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1

(just hanging here for prolonged time)
I have to press [Ctrl]+c to exit it.

# ls -l /opt/mail/testdomain.com | grep user1

drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Apr 11 21:54 user1

Edit:

Further down to "Vacation Install"

[root@host ~]# cat /etc/passwd | grep vacation

vacation:x:1002:1002::/var/spool/vacation:/sbin/nologin

Do I need to manually change it as:

vacation:*:65501:65501::0:0:Virtual Vacation:/nonexistent:/sbin/nologin

???

Tks

Hi folks,

I left out "vi /usr/lib/courier-imap/etc/imapd" on P-4

Re-did it. Then as root re-ran;

/etc/init.d/mysql.server start
/etc/init.d/saslauthd start
/etc/init.d/courier-authlib start
/etc/init.d/courier-imap start
/etc/init.d/postfix start

All went through w/o problem.

Continued on P-5
# rmdir /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1

# maildirmake /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1
# maildirmake -q 20971520S /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1
# chmod g-r,o-r /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1
# chown -R vmail.vmail /opt/mail/testdomain.com/user1

All went through w/o complaint.


# ls -l /opt/mail/testdomain.com/

Coming to;

useradd –d /var/spool/vacation -s /sbin/nologin vacation

Re-do it

[root@host satimis]# useradd –d /var/spool/vacation -s /sbin/nologin vacation

bash: useradd: command not found

[root@host satimis]# which useradd

/usr/bin/which: no useradd in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib/courier-imap/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/satimis/bin)

[root@host satimis]# su -
[root@host ~]# which useradd

/usr/sbin/useradd

Must be super root to run this command???

[root@host ~]# useradd –d /var/spool/vacation -s /sbin/nologin vacation

usage: useradd  [-u uid [-o]] [-g group] [-G group,...] 
                [-d home] [-s shell] [-c comment] [-m [-k template]]
                [-f inactive] [-e expire ] [-p passwd] [-M] [-n] [-r] [-l] name
       useradd  -D [-g group] [-b base] [-s shell]
                [-f inactive] [-e expire ]

# cat /etc/passwd | grep vacation

vacation:x:1002:1002::/var/spool/vacation:/sbin/nologin

Stuck here. Any suggestion??? TIA
