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.

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.

The problem here is not that I don't want to take a look at it but it's the time constraints. I've got a daytime job, a family with kids and I have to negotiate between them to find time to spend here. I try to restrict myself to doing one subject at a time, which currently is DSpam and will move on to geylisting, and I have to support people who have problems setting up their Mac. I hope you understand this, I really want to but if I can't do it properly I leave it till later. Please note that syscp is on my list of things to look at ! Dave on "replacing postfixadmin with syscp?" http://diymacserver.com/forum/topic/replacing-postfixadmin-with-syscp#post-214 Thu, 16 Nov 2006 18:29:12 +0000 Dave 214@http://diymacserver.com/forum/ Hi Richard5, your tutorials are really great! Only one point of critizism. i hope its constructive :-) postfixadmin is a fine tool, but your tutorial aims at a "isp in a box" so it would be really nice if there'd be an administration tool, to create & configure virtual webhosts etc, too. most of you probably know confixx from swsoft (comercial software), but only a few know about syscp. syscp has nearly ALL the confixx functions and it's opensource. the core syscp devs use osx systems as clients, too and i read on the list that they are very interested in a "osx port". in my opinion there is not much to do for such a port, as syscp is a php project and thus just needs to "speak" with the system daemons like apache, mysql, postfix etc. would be really great if you could take a look at it and cook up a nice tutorial :) the projectsite is located at <a href="http://www.syscp.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.syscp.org</a> and take a look at the screenshots: <a href="http://www.syscp.org/attachment/wiki/Ressources/customer_index.png?format=raw" rel="nofollow">http://www.syscp.org/attachment/wiki/Ressources/customer_index.png?format=raw</a> <a href="http://www.syscp.org/attachment/wiki/Ressources/admin_domains.png?format=raw" rel="nofollow">http://www.syscp.org/attachment/wiki/Ressources/admin_domains.png?format=raw</a> <a href="http://www.syscp.org/attachment/wiki/Ressources/admin_settings.png?format=raw" rel="nofollow">http://www.syscp.org/attachment/wiki/Ressources/admin_settings.png?format=raw</a> they also have a mailinglist etc. just take a look at the site. 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.
