Command output: /usr/local/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox. )</p> <p>As far as I can see I have followed the instructions on the site...</p> <p>Details: </p> <p>Mac Mini 10.5.3<br /> Postfix-2.5.1<br /> Maidrop-2.0.4</p> <p>Mails should be delivered to:</p> <p>/usr/local/virtual/xxxxx/nick</p> <p>Now, should the next level down be:</p> <p>/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/Maildir<br /> /usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/mail<br /> /usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/mailbox</p> <p>And below that:</p> <p>/usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/??????/cur<br /> /usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/??????/new<br /> /usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/??????/tmp</p> <p>From virtual down the directory tree things are set owner:_vmail group:_postfix permission: 770</p> <p>I am really at a loss as to where to go from here. I have rerun installs. Read tons of sites. I have spent hours and hours on this. What is causing the real problems is the lack of details in the mail log... 'Unable to open mailbox.' Not very informative..... </p> 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/ <p>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:</p> <p>@mydomain.com --&gt; <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>.</p> <p>I use this setup so that every site I set up an account for gets given a different email address, e.g.<br /> <a href="mailto:diymacserver@mydomain.com">diymacserver@mydomain.com</a></p> <p>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...</p> <p>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:<br /> @mydomain.com --&gt; <a href="mailto:myactualaddress@mydomain.com">myactualaddress@mydomain.com</a>.</p> <p>but also have a rule that says that mail to the alias:</p> <p><a href="mailto:thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mysomain.com">thisaddressgetslotsofspam@mysomain.com</a> --&gt; bounce back to sender</p> <p>Any ideas on how to do this? </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/problem-with-sending-mail-from-php#post-238 Fri, 01 Dec 2006 14:52:37 +0000 Richard 238@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Do you mean you receive emails from your local postfix server with these error messages?<br /> <br /> I guess someone else is sending spam to these fake addresses.<br /> <br /> By the way I've looked at your server and tested it with abuse.net tools (might explain the strange lines in your logfile) and you are absolutely not an open relay !!!
