So owned by _vmail. </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/postfix-problems-mailbox-not-created#post-462 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 19:05:30 +0000 Nick 462@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Yes, the problem was to do with a lack of folders for the mail.... however, all is still not well and I am now seeing an error:</p> <p>to=&lt;nick@xxxxxxxx&gt;, relay=maildrop, delay=90883, delays=90872/0.32/0/10, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure.

Interestingly there is a script in the postfix.admin ADDITIONS folder called postfixadmin-mailbox-postcreation.sh that seems to contain the necessary code to create the folders. This script is not called in the standard setup. I will explore this further..... </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/postfix-problems-mailbox-not-created#post-459 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 21:47:12 +0000 Richard 459@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>The problem here is maildrop. Maildrop does not create mail directories automatically. There are three options, create the directory manually with the maildirmake command, copy a maildirectory form another user and rename it (also empty the emails from it) or enhance the maildrop script so that it will create the directories automagically (I'm working on this but it takes me a long time to do this) </p> http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/postfix-problems-mailbox-not-created#post-458 Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:06:54 +0000 Nick 458@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Still battling with set up a Mac Mini as a server.</p> <p>I have followed the instructions for setting up mail (twice).

The issue is that maildrop is unable to create mail directories that don't exist. <br /> <br /> I need to tweak the maildroprc script to create using the maildirmake command. As I am as new to maildrop as you are I'm still finding out about this. <br /> <br /> You can create the directory manually by going into /usr/local/virtual/<br /> <br /> mkdir the domaindir with proper rights and then <br /> maildirmake mailaccoutname<br /> <br /> you should get a directory with cur, tmp and new in there like others. http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/usrlocalbinmaildrop-unable-to-open-mailbox#post-269 Tue, 16 Jan 2007 17:58:36 +0000 macmax 269@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Yes, I've followed your istructions and the proper rights are all rights.<br /> <br /> I obtain the error &quot;(temporary failure.
