your log from earlier showed it working, it would normally be delivered
to the default location of /var/mail.

You asked how to get it to show up in ~/Maildir.  That requires you set
the home_mailbox setting as I previously stated.

Have been using mailscanner with postfix for years with no problems..

I do believe it does not work with 7.3.  It does not start postfix as it did
in 6.8 and earlier versions. There may be other problems besides that as
well. 

Figured out it wasn't a firewall issue when I would telnet to localhost 25
and got connection refused. As soon as I started postfix manually, I could
connect.

Mail works now that it has been uninstalled and adding a few things from
last night that were posted.

I have setup clamav and spamassassin using this guide.

mails-from-viruses/

Seems to work.

You shouldn't use mailscanner anyways, it relys on direct manipulation
of the postfix queue files which is unsupported by postfix.  Consider
amavisd-new and spamassassin/clamav instead.

as I said in another post, you need to set:

home_mailbox = Maildir/

...in main.cf.  Note that the trailing slash means it will be delivered
in maildir format (which is likely what you want), if you would rather
that local(8) deliver in mbox format then omit the trailing slash.

This is incorrect.  Postfix comes with it's own lda (local(8)) which
fills this role.  It is true that it can use a 3rd party lda but it is
not necessary.

To the OP:

Set: "home_mailbox = Maildir/" in main.cf.

the mail transfer agent (postfix) needs a mail delivery agent for 
locally delivered mail, in traditional email systems this was often 
procmail or fetchmail. dovecot is a mail client, although it contains an 
optional local delivery agent.  a bit of googling found

This is a fresh install, I haven't changed anything except adding
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf

Output from postconf -n:

alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases

This is indicative of misconfiguration with mail being delivered to
/var/mail/whatever instead of /home/whatever/Maildir.  Check your
configuration again to ensure it's delivering as you wish.
Alternatively, post _all_ content from /etc/postfix/{main,master}.cf for
review.

[CentOS] Mail issues

[TE Dukes]

I know I'm wearing you guys out.

I thought I had mail working. It is but it isn't.

Mail is stuck in /var/spool/mail.

This is a fresh install of dovecot and postfix. I have uninstalled
mailscanner as well until I can figure out what's wrong.

I sent a test mail from root to tdukes but its not being delivered to
~/Maildir

Here's the clip from maillog:

Jan 30 18:40:42 ts130 postfix/pickup[4828]: 2DF2D82CA5B9: uid=0 from=
Jan 30 18:40:42 ts130 postfix/cleanup[6070]: 2DF2D82CA5B9:
message-id=<20170130234042.2df2d82ca...@ts130.palmettodomains.com>
Jan 30 18:40:42 ts130 postfix/qmgr[4829]: 2DF2D82CA5B9:
from=, size=480, nrcpt=1 (queue active)
Jan 30 18:40:42 ts130 postfix/local[6071]: 2DF2D82CA5B9:
to=, orig_to=, relay=local,
delay=0.1, delays=0.07/0.01/0/0.03, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to
mailbox)
Jan 30 18:40:42 ts130 postfix/qmgr[4829]: 2DF2D82CA5B9: removed
Jan 30 18:40:49 ts130 dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=,
method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=6078, secured,
session=
Jan 30 18:40:49 ts130 dovecot: imap(tdukes): Disconnected: Logged out in=82
out=495

Do I need to install additional packages that move mail to the user's
/Maildir?

TIA
