I downgraded to PHP 5.2.8 and the errors about deprecated functions went away, but I got a new error about zend mm heap errors. I wanted to add a new user without waiting to get this figured out.

Why would you want to do this in this manner? Otherwise create the account and change the passwordwith postfixadmin. Or create your own PHP page for adding users and copy the password generating part from the postfixadmin code. LarryL on "postfixadmin passwords" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/postfixadmin-passwords#post-690 Wed, 05 Aug 2009 16:10:03 +0000 LarryL 690@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ My postfixadmin is configured to use md5crypt passwords for user passwords. If I use the MySQL client to manually add a user in the postfix.mailbox table, is there a way for me to encrypt the password like postfixadmin does? The MySQL function md5() generates passwords that are 2 characters shorter than the postfixadmin encrypted passwords and they don't work for me. dw on "/usr/local/virtual empty on Leopard" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/usrlocalvirtual-empty-on-leopard#post-608 Mon, 29 Dec 2008 03:55:13 +0000 dw 608@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Great, that works for generating the virtual domain & its virtual mailbox subdirectory... but I'm still having issues. See other thread ;) Dave Richard on "/usr/local/virtual empty on Leopard" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/usrlocalvirtual-empty-on-leopard#post-605 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 23:08:28 +0000 Richard 605@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Hi Dave, yes I do know what the problem is. If you had checked the /var/log/mail.log file you would have seen the error on pipelining or postfixadmin is to quick in sending the commands to the mailserver so it sees it as a spammer and ignoring it. To create the directory try to send an email via the command line using "sendmail <a href="mailto:user@yourdomain.com">user@yourdomain.com</a>" dw on "/usr/local/virtual empty on Leopard" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/usrlocalvirtual-empty-on-leopard#post-604 Wed, 24 Dec 2008 21:58:56 +0000 dw 604@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Hi Richard, I've been working on an upgrade to Leopard on a PPC Mac (using an external drive). It's going pretty well, except for the fact that postfixadmin does not add the required folders/files in /usr/local/virtual (even though it claims it was successful). I've checked everything several times, but I'm not sure what to look for, after rechecking permissions, users, etc. the postfixadmin log doesn't give any errors. Any idea where to look?

You have a catch-all address and that is what it will do. The only thing you could do is create aliases for all the addresses you use and remove the catch-all. bluewomble on "Configuring postfix to bounce mail..." http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/configuring-postfix-to-bounce-mail#post-443 Wed, 16 Jan 2008 11:13:56 +0000 bluewomble 443@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ But the problem is that I don;t currently have an alias for <code><a href="mailto:thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com">thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com</a> --> <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>.</code> I only have the general rule that anything @mydomain.com goes to <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>, va the alias: <code>@mydomain.com --> <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a></code> So I already have a general alias that means that *@mydomain.com goes to me, I need a specific rule that just bounces all mail sent to <a href="mailto:thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com">thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mydomain.com</a>...

Nice idea by the way! bluewomble on "Configuring postfix to bounce mail..." http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/configuring-postfix-to-bounce-mail#post-441 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 16:49:17 +0000 bluewomble 441@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ I've used postfix.admin to set up my domain so that @mydomain.com gets sent to me... I've done this with an alias: @mydomain.com --> <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>. I use this setup so that every site I set up an account for gets given a different email address, e.g. <a href="mailto:diymacserver@mydomain.com">diymacserver@mydomain.com</a> the idea behind this is that if I get lots of spam sent to a particular address I can just start to bounce the mail sent to that address... Anyway, I now have an address that I want to bounce (because lots of spam goes there), but can't work out how to use postfix.admin to bounce specific addresses... Basically I want to keep my general alias: @mydomain.com --> <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>. but also have a rule that says that mail to the alias: <a href="mailto:thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mysomain.com">thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mysomain.com</a> --> bounce back to sender Any ideas on how to do this?

However, when I try to login via postfixadmin/login.php I am unable to. I've tried the default values of admin/admin, and I've also tried changing the password in .htpasswd via your instructions, but neither works, seems something is wrong with the authentication.

Michael on "Problem with creating new mailboxes" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/problem-with-creating-new-mailboxes#post-188 Sun, 12 Nov 2006 02:02:40 +0000 Michael 188@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ I just ran into this. Good catch Richard on "Problem with creating new mailboxes" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/problem-with-creating-new-mailboxes#post-55 Sun, 10 Sep 2006 20:08:42 +0000 Richard 55@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Ok, I've got it solved as far as I can tell. When testing this solution against postfix 2.2.3 with the strict pipelining settings the mailboxes get created on the system which means that new users don't have problems accessing their newly created mail address via POP3 or IMAP. You got to replace the function 'smtp_mail($to, $from, $data)' in the file functions.inc.php with the following: <code> function smtp_mail ($to, $from, $data) {    global $CONF;    $smtpd_server = $CONF['smtp_server'];    $smtpd_port = $CONF['smtp_port'];    $smtp_server = $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"];    $errno = "0";    $errstr = "0";    $timeout = "30";        $fh = @fsockopen ($smtpd_server, $smtpd_port, $errno, $errstr, $timeout);    if (!$fh)    {       return false;    }    else    {       fputs ($fh, "EHLO $smtp_server\r\n");       $res = smtp_get_response($fh);       fputs ($fh, "MAIL FROM:<$from>\r\n");       $res = smtp_get_response($fh);       fputs ($fh, "RCPT TO:<$to>\r\n");       $res = smtp_get_response($fh);       fputs ($fh, "DATA\r\n");       $res = smtp_get_response($fh);       fputs ($fh, "$data\r\n.\r\n");       $res = smtp_get_response($fh);       fputs ($fh, "QUIT\r\n");       $res = smtp_get_response($fh);       fclose ($fh);    }     return true; }  </code> Also you need to add the following function to read the response from Postfix properly, add it anywhere in the functon file. <code>function smtp_get_response ($fh) {            $res ='';            do            {               $line = fgets($fh, 256);               $res .= $line;            }           while (preg_match("/^\d\d\d\-/", $line));            return $res; } </code> I didn't make this up myself, I just copied the code that was needed from CVS. You can also donwload the complete functions.inc.php file from <a href="http://switch.richard5.net/serverinstall/functions.inc.php.txt">here</a>. Richard on "Problem with creating new mailboxes" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/problem-with-creating-new-mailboxes#post-52 Thu, 07 Sep 2006 15:03:04 +0000 Richard 52@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Since the upgrade of postfix to version 2.2 there has been a problem with the automatic creation of the mail directories. Postfix admin sends an email to the newly created email address which results in the creation of the maildir. However, postfix has become very strict in their acceptance of incoming email. The email being send is rejected because of the unauth pipelining being caused by postfix admin. Or in plain words, postfix admin is sending a lot of commands to postfix without listening for answers. The bug is noticed and solved in the source tree but it has been some time since there has been a release. I'll try to get a bugfix for the current 2.1.0 release out of the source tree and test it out.
