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.
Ah ya, missed that, thank you.
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...
No, I was providing the second example to show the difference between
how on a different system where it's using a local real user it would
not create the home directory, and how on a different system with a user
out of a sql db it's creating the home directory.
I have 2 goals here, a) to get the home directory created with the
proper permissions, b) for my own interest sake to find out WHY it's
being created at all when it doesn't do it for a local real user
If I create a real local user, then remove the home directory and send
an email, it won't create the home directory, I get an error:
2006-01-07 08:54:46 1EvHFO-000OkP-JU == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=localuser
T=local_delivery defer (-29): Failed to find user "" from expanded s
tring "${lookup mysql{SELECT emailUnixUID FROM tb_emailaddress LEFT JOIN
tb_domain ON (tb_domain.domainID = tb_emailaddress.emailDom
ainID) WHERE emailLocalPart = '${quote_mysql:${local_part}}' AND
domainName='${quote_mysql:${domain}}'}}" for the local_delivery tra
nsport
So why does it create a home dir for a db user, and not a real user?
(Goes off and tries something)
I've added the directory_mode = 0750 option and that seems to have fixed
my issue, so I guess it's just made to create home dirs for new DB users
automagicaly, I don't know if that's in the documentation at all, but
maybe it should be if it's not.
Thanks Bill and Guiliano for your input, it's most appreciated
