Re: Automaildir.

[Nicolas de Bari Embriz Garcia Rojas]

Hope this can help you: 1. be sure that your Makefile on qmail after applying the patch has the following: # to enable the auto-maildir-make feature uncomment the next line MDIRMAKE=-DAUTOMAILDIRMAKE # to enable the auto-homedir-make feature uncomment the next line HDIRMAKE=-DAUTOHOMEDIRMAKE 2. After installing qmail-ldap go to you control files normally located at /var/qmail/control then add this to that file cat  > /var/qmail/control/dirmaker /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker create the file /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker and put this on it: ( it may change according to your installation) #!/bin/sh echo '---------------------------------------------' >> /usr/home/qmail/dirmaker.log date >> /usr/home/qmail/dirmaker.log echo $1 >> /usr/home/qmail/dirmaker.log id >> /usr/home/qmail/dirmaker.log mkdir -m 700 -p $1 /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $1/Maildir that file is owned by root:qmail: % ll /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker  -rwxr-xr-x  1 root  qmail  264 Jun 16 11:53 dirmaker* also check the ldapmessagestore, on my case is :  /usr/home/qmail/maildirs  (directory owned by vmail:vmail) % ll /usr/home/qmail/ -rw-r--r--  1 vmail  vmail  3562 Sep 12 23:13 dirmaker.log drwxr-xr-x  4 vmail  vmail   512 Sep 12 22:48 maildirs/ 3. verify the perms on my case /usr/home/qmail/* is owned by vmail:vmail 4. here is an example of ldif: dn: uid=[EMAIL PROTECTED],ou=ejemplo.org,ou=qmail,o=EJEMPLO,c=CA objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: qmailUser uid: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cn: nbari sn: nbari accountStatus: active mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailHost: ejemplo.org mailMessageStore: ejemplo.org/nbari deliveryMode: noprogram mailAlternateAddress: [EMAIL PROTECTED] from: http://www.glaven.org/qmail-ldap.html dirmaker Dirmaker (which we altered our makefile for) allows us to declare a script that will autocreate home directories for us upon receipt of first email on a new account. So, create an LDAP account for [EMAIL PROTECTED], with a mailbox of /mail/glaven.org/users/j/jasonpanopolous and dirmaker will automagically create the directory (and tree), set permissions, and deliver the mail there. I created /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker, and put that path in my dirmaker control file. Here is the contents of my dirmaker script Hope this can help you. Regards.

Hi Layn, Solution is quite simple - I'll just point it out one by one 1. In your qmail-1.03 source directory, locate the file 'qmail-ldap.h'. 2. In this file, locate the parameter 'LDAP_HOMEDIR' and change its value to 'mailMessageStore' 3. Now go to the qmail source directory and recompile qmail-ldap with the command - make setup check 4. In the directory /var/qmail/control, make sure u have the following control files with the contents given along with this... (I) ldapserver  - localhost (II) ldaplogin - 'cn=Manager,dc=yourdomain,dc=com' (III) ldappassword - 'yoursecretpassword' (IV) ldapbasedn - 'dc=yourdomain,dc=com' (V) ldaplocaldelivery - 1 (VI) make sure localdomains and rcpthosts contain the name of ur domain 5. chown root:qmail /var/qmail/control/ldap* Also make sure that your /etc/ldap.conf has enabled authentication for the domain manager i.e cn=Manager,dc=yourdomain,dc=com...Locate related entries in this file and make changes accordingly... rootbinddn cn=Manager,dc=yourdomain,dc=com Also uncomment the entry for password Now, when you create a new user, qmail will automatically create the user's home directory, which is also the maildir of user 'watashi' ( /var/qmail/maildirs/watashi.  ). So the directory 'watashi' will be created as a maildir and not a mailbox directory. In case the maildir is not created, just send a mail to this newly created user 'watashi' with any demo text. qmail will then automatically create the desired maildir. Hope that helps. Good luck with your qmail-ldap installation.

So please if you have any idea about its, please tell me.    My problem is the next:    When i send a mail to a local users (no sistem local, local of my domains, defined in my ldap), i get the next error:    deferral:     Unable_to_switch_to_/var/qmail/maildirs/watashi3:_file_does_not_exist._(#4.3 .0)      If i create this directory:   shuhi:/var/qmail# bin/dirmaker maildirs/watashi3   shuhi:/var/qmail# chown -R vmail:vmail maildirs   shuhi:/var/qmail# ls -l maildirs/   total 4   drwx------  2 vmail vmail 4096 2005-10-01 16:53 watashi3    The result is:    deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)    It could be a problem of privilege, but if u see, the directory is of vmail:vmail, so its correct, no problem with privilege.    And now i create Maildir with maildirmake:    shuhi:/var/qmail# bin/maildirmake maildirs/watashi3/Maildir    shuhi:/var/qmail# chown -R vmail:vmail maildirs    The result is:    success: did_1+0+0/    Correct!!!
