Mail goes to /var/mail instead of $HOME/Maildir/

I have ISPConfig installed since 1 year now and all were working well. I used maildir in ispconfig and the mails were successfully delivered to $HOME/Maildir. Recently, i got a strange problem with my mail reception, all my mails for my users are being sent to /var/mail/USER.

I have checked my config file:
After the installation of ispconfig, i have tick, Maildir in management -> server -> settings -> Email -> maildir

/etc/postfix/main.cf
home_mailbox = Maildir/
mailbox_command =

Please some helps because my users can no longer receive their mails....

 

In fact, i have indentified the problem.

My server has the domaine hostname.mydomain.com and i have a virtual domain as vitualdomain.com

When I send an email to [email protected]rtualdomain.com, the mail does not go to the virtual domain instead it goes to [email protected]. That's why instead to send the mail to the maildir of the user it sends it to /var/mail...

any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks

 

I have already checked the box for Maildir part in Management -> server -> settings -> Email.

But the problem persists.

I am using the version 2.1.2

Thanks

 

Here is an extract of my log file file:

And now i just started to receive a quota exceed mesg:

Sep 14 07:18:46 trinity imaplogin: Failed to create cache file: maildir_lock (c2_matilda)
Sep 14 07:18:46 trinity imaplogin: Error: Disk quota exceeded
Sep 14 07:19:47 trinity imaplogin: Failed to create cache file: maildir_lock (c2_matilda)

Sep 14 07:20:47 trinity imaplogin: Failed to create cache file: maildir_lock (c2_matilda)
Sep 14 07:20:47 trinity imaplogin: Error: Disk quota exceeded

Please some helps...

 

Usually what i do is that, i give a disk allocation to /, which is (www.paradis.com) and all the users do not have any limitation.

In this case, I have given a disk space 1.2 Go for a set of 12 users.
For each user, in the WebSpace MB, i give -1 (ie no limit) and for / Space MB is 1280.

So each time i cannot increase the limit as you said each time a client exceed its quota.
I can increase it to see if the problem persist or not.

NB: Before the system ISP functions, then i got an exceed of quota for this client and then the mail no longer go to Maildir but to /var/mail/$USER

please....

thanks till

 

yes Till, I have just done what you asked. I have put the quota from 1200 to 3000 MB.

Now, all the mails are entering in the Maildir account. Its working .....

So what i need to do really when getting these problems again

thanks till

 

Till, I am having the same problem with several of my virtuals. I have looked in ISP Config and i have the space MB and the Traffic MB set to -1 but I cannot find a place to set the mail quota for the users. I have to do this for several virtuals. Can you please let me know where I am going wrong.

 

So can you please tell me how to fix the issue? I have all of my sites set to -1 and most of my clients are getting the emails. but there are still lots that are going into /var/mail/ instead of /home/Maildir

 

to something higher the -1 is that correct?

 

once i run repquota -avug | grep web67
this is what it returns. If I am reading it right. web67 or web67_admin have files on the server but no quota set is that correct? If so do I need to set a quota for each site and user?
web67_admin -- 157380 0 0 12999 0 0
web67 -- 157384 0 0 13000 0 0

 

The problem is I am getting some mail in the Maildir and other mail in the /var/mail for the same user accounts. As I read in the other posts it says to set the quota higher. I might have misunderstood. The problem is I have around 100 virtuals they all get email in the Maildir as they should and the users can check it, but I am also getting alot of messages in the /var/mail/username that the clients cannot check and I have to go and delete manually.
