Hello out there,

 

due to stage of my rewriting of the mailman module, I needed an email adress in froxlor. In case I was writing and (possible) changing froxlor files, there was no doman and no mailadress configured before.

 

So I set up a domain (curious, I cannot set up a domain under the main ip of the server, under which I am running the main domain) und an email adress, too.

As I take a look in /var/log/mail.log I saw:

Oct  5 15:57:40 myserver postfix/virtual[29078]: warning: check_dir_size: cannot open directory: /var/customers/mail/customer_demo/bla@customer_domain.tld/new/

Ok, one thing is clear. I've changed /var/customer/mail to /var/kunden/mail, but I've rebuild the config files, and the install instructions for gentoo -> smtp -> postfix/dovecot says:

emerge -av postfix
mkdir -p /var/kunden/mail/
chown -R vmail:vmail /var/kunden/mail/
chmod 0750 /var/kunden/mail/
mv /etc/postfix/main.cf /etc/postfix/main.cf.gentoo

 

The output of postconf -n is as follows:

 /var/kunden/mail # postconf -n

virtual_overquota_bounce = yes

so why would postfix write to the (not existing) dir /var/customer?

 

//Edit: I might add the following

 # id vmail
uid=9997(vmail) gid=9997(vmail) groups=9997(vmail)

In the near future I should check all settings.

/var/kunden/mail has had the false owner. I've changed this and it works.

 

Please close.
