I've never seen any of the unix systems I've worked on before
create the home directories when there's incoming mail. I know FTP
programs can create home directories, when you tell it to. Even
after adding the create_directory option to the local_delivery it's
still not creating the home directory. I create the home directory,
and then it delivers.
this has nothing to do with
|create_directory | Use: appendfile | Type: boolean |
Default: true|
that, as you can see, is true by default. Read the error again and
you will see that it is a permission issue.
Is this a difference between sql related accounts and local account
deliveries? I can drop the config on the web somewhere if someone
would like to see it. Thanks.
No need. Before you were complaining because it created the home
directory, but it actually was only creating the Maildir (that is
possible, given the normal permissions in one's home dir). Now you
seem to complain that it does *not* create a home dir...
