smtpd, virtual users/domains and maildir creation
Hi,
I am playing with OpenSMTPD and am configuring a virtual domains and users
configuration.
In smtpd.conf.local, I have set:
map vdomains { source db /etc/mail/vdomains.db }
accept for virtual vdomains deliver to maildir /home/vmail/%d/%a/
In /etc/mail/vdomains, I have set:
tumfatig.net: true
carnat.net: true
pt...@tumfatig.net vmail
j...@carnat.net vmail
So far, the mails are accepted but I face an error when the first mail is
received ;
when the full home directory does not exist yet:
Jun 15 15:12:36 openbsd smtpd[6293]: dcd4684048255931: to=j...@carnat.net,
\
delay=0, stat=Error (cannot mkdir maildir: No such file or directory)
When this error occurs, /home/vmail already exists and is own by
vmail:vmail.
Now, if I run:
# mkdir /home/vmail/carnat.net
# chown vmail:vmail /home/vmail/carnat.net
And send the same mail (to j...@carnat.net), it is received correctly and
the remaining vmail/new directory tree is created.
Is there some parameters to set so that smtpd creates the whole directory
tree
itself or is this an expected behaviour ?
TIA,
Jo

reads ok, except that you should remove '{' and '}', they were required but I
made them optional to ease transition as I will remove them next release.

OpenSMTPD only creates the Maildir itself so you need to make sure you
create a directory for each of the domains you plan to handle if you are
using the domain as part of the path.
Should we have an option to let it create all directories in the path ?
I dunno, it's pretty easy to pre-create them and let the code be as strict
as it is right now :-)

ok, I'll correct my config, thanks.

right ; like know what you are doing :)
I was just surprised as my actual Postfix / Dovecot configuration did the
mkdir -p themselves.
I'll just keep the create the directories step in my notes ;-)
While I'm there, I ended filling my /etc/mail/vdomains with such
directives:
carnat.net accept
j...@carnat.net vmail
r...@carnat.net j...@carnat.net
ab...@carnat.netr...@carnat.net
hostmas...@carnat.net r...@carnat.net
postmas...@carnat.net r...@carnat.net
webmas...@carnat.netr...@carnat.net
This does works and allows virtual aliases to be defined. And all my test
mails went to my user account.
I'm not just sure if this is the right way to do it as I didn't find such
mapping described in the docs.
But I found using one map aliases (...) per virtual domain not very
practical.
What's the proper way to host virtual aliases for virtual domains ?
TIA,
Jo
