Re: Postfix cyrus virtual mailbox domains problem
It's that easy if it works! Hmmm... thanks for the advice though, because it's taken me one step closer. I've set mailbox transport as you suggest, and put the cyrus stuff back into /var/spool/imap where it belongs, plus cleaned up the postfix locations in /var/mail. Lo and behold messages appear in /var/mail/my_v_domain.tld/username as they should (unix format, catenated in a file). But... still messages are not being found by cyrus popd and imapd and delivered. :( On 22/07/2004, at 15:07, Simon Matter wrote: Forget about the virtual maildir stuff in postfix, cyrus doesn't use maildir but has it's own message store and works more like database than like a fileserver application - you never access any files directly. What you want is using LMTP as mail delivery protocol which you configure something like mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp It's that easy, no more messing with directories or uids.

Re: Postfix cyrus virtual mailbox domains problem
By chance I see what may be causing this :) A ps listing just when the pop3d is running shows it's missing the @my_v_domain.tld part of the user name. So I wonder how to get it passed through without being dropped off. I think I saw something about it somewhere. Martin On 22/07/2004, at 22:12, Martin Haywood wrote: It's that easy if it works!

Postfix cyrus virtual mailbox domains problem
I've been going around and around this problem for so long it's making me dizzy ... I have Postfix set up with main.cf: virtual_mailbox_domains = /usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual_domains virtual_mailbox_base = /var/mail/virtual/domain virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual_mailbox virtual_minimum_uid = 100 virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_alias_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_mailbox: [EMAIL PROTECTED] my_v_domain.tld/user/vuname/ I have set up imapd to use partition as follows: imapd.conf partition-vpart: /var/mail/virtual And created mailbox in cyradm as follows: localhost cm [EMAIL PROTECTED] vpart localhost sam [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] all So when a mail is sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it appears in the directory /var/mail/virtual/domain/my_v_domain/user/vuname but cyrus cannot see it as it's in the subdirectory new. Anyway I have a feeling I'm barking up the wrong tree here. Just how should I be letting cyrus find mail delivered by postfix virtual delivery agent (as in this case)? Is there something stupid about my setup, other than I have a feeling cyrus and postfix aren't meant to share the same directory for mail storage. Any help greatly appreciated.

Problem getting email posted to a virtual mailbox domain
I am using cyrus on freeBSD 5.2 with postfix. Mail to default domain seems to work ok. Mail to virtual mailbox user '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' gets put in '/var/mail/foo.bar/example', but logging in with pop or imap doesn't retrieve the mail. There's no error messages during delivery or pop login. I have postfix with virtual_mailbox_maps showing [EMAIL PROTECTED] as mapping to /var/mail/foo.bar/example so I can see how the mail reaches that place, but no combination of imapd.conf settings that I've tried seems to let cyrus find it there. Maybe it's a stupid question, but I somehow don't understand how to set partition-default so that it works without permission errors -- it was set to /var/spool/imap which contained user/ and domain/ but I can't see how to mesh these with /var/mail/ It may be rather dumb of me but I've spent a lot of hours trying a lot of permutations of directories etc. without getting this to work, so even if it's obvious I'd appreciate any suggestions. --- Martin [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- Cyrus Home Page: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyruswiki.andrew.cmu.edu List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
