Command output: /usr/local/bin/maildrop: Unable to open mailbox. ) As far as I can see I have followed the instructions on the site... Details: Mac Mini 10.5.3 Postfix-2.5.1 Maidrop-2.0.4 Mails should be delivered to: /usr/local/virtual/xxxxx/nick Now, should the next level down be: /usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/Maildir /usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/mail /usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/mailbox And below that: /usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/??????/cur /usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/??????/new /usr/local/virtual/mapped.at/nick/??????/tmp From virtual down the directory tree things are set owner:_vmail group:_postfix permission: 770 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..... Nick on "Postfix problems -mailbox not created?" 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/ Hi, Still battling with set up a Mac Mini as a server. I have followed the instructions for setting up mail (twice). Double checked ownership of the virtual directory (_vmail, _postfix, read, write, execute). I can send mail to myself on another account via the server... but I can't get mail delivered. If I send a message, from another machine, via another SMTP, to myself, I get: Apr 21 11:41:24 customer postfix/pipe[351]: 63802117B4F: to=<test@ XXXXX >, relay=maildrop, delay=0.08, delays=0.03/0.01/0/0.05, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: /usr/local/bin/maildrop: Unable to create a dot-lock at /usr/local/virtual/XXXXX/test/XXXX.customer.macminicolo.net. ) User test is set up to receive mail using postfixadmin, and is listed in MySQL (thepostfix.mailbox).... Any thoughts, comments, help etc. are greatly appreciated.

Command output: /usr/local/bin/maildrop: Cannot have world/group permissions on the filter file - for your own good. )</code> Answer from Richard : <pre><code>The rights should be: -rw------- vmail wheel /etc/maildroprc</code></pre> and I complete : <code>Don't forget to restart services authdaemond, maildrop and postfix</code> Thank's Richard</blockquote>
