Dear fernando , i have made the script /var/qmail/bin/mymaildirmake.sh #!/bin/sh mkdir -m 700 -p $1 with permission ls -ld /var/qmail/bin/mymaildirmake.sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 root admins 29 Mar 23 13:14 /var/qmail/bin/mymaildirmake.sh
and put that line /var/qmail/bin/mymaildirmake.sh in /var/qmail/control/dirmaker with permission ls -l /var/qmail/control/dirmaker -rwxr-xr-x 1 root admins 32 Mar 23 11:46 /var/qmail/control/dirmaker while doing that command on recently created user cv [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# /var/qmail/bin/qmail-ldaplookup -u cv Searching ldap for: (&(objectClass=qmailuser)(uid=cv)) under dn: dc=fg,dc=local Found 1 entry: dn: uid=cv,ou=pepole,dc=fg,dc=local ------------------------------------------------------- objectClass: top objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount objectClass: sambaSamAccount objectClass: qmailUser mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] uid: cv accountStatus: undefined -> active mailHost: falcon.fg.local homeDirectory: /var/qmail/maildirs/cv/ aliasEmpty: using default qmailDotMode: ldaponly qmailUID: 11184 qmailGID: 2110 mailQuotaSize: 0 (unlimited) mailQuotaCount: 0 (unlimited) mailSizeMax: 0 (unlimited) mailReplyText: undefined and permissions on /var/qmail/maildirs/ ls -ld /var/qmail/maildirs/ drwxr-xr-x 2 vmail vmail 4096 Mar 22 18:17 /var/qmail/maildirs/ knowing that i have created these users and group before compiling qmail vi /etc/passwd alias:x:1009:1002::/var/qmail/alias:/bin/true qmaild:x:1010:1002::/var/qmail:/bin/true qmaill:x:1011:1002::/var/qmail:/bin/true qmailp:x:1012:1002::/var/qmail:/bin/true qmailq:x:1013:1003::/var/qmail:/bin/true qmailr:x:1014:1003::/var/qmail:/bin/true qmails:x:1015:1003::/var/qmail:/bin/true vmail:x:1184:2110::/var/qmail/maildirs/:/bin/true vi /etc/group nofiles:x:1002: qmail:x:1003: vmail::2110 but i have noticed that output for same user home directory in ldif file is /home/samb-ntprof/cv while in qmail-ldaplookup -u cv is /var/qmail/maildirs/cv/ and still mail boxes can't created autoamtically in /var/qmail/maildirs/ knowing that i have rebooted the qmail server many times and sent mails to these users before trying to connect using pop3 what should i do else Regards Hussein Esmat Hussein, You misunderstood the meaning of the control/dirmaker file: you should write there the NAME of the script qmail will run to create the mailbox, not the script itself. So, you should create a script in, say, /var/qmail/bin, called MyMailDirMake.sh; there, you write down the script described below, and then you make it chmod 755. Next, you put the name of the script file into control/dirmaker. /var/qmail/bin/MyMailDirMake.sh shows two lines of code: #!/bin/sh mkdir -m 700 -p $1 /var/qmail/control/dirmaker shows only one line: /var/qmail/bin/MyMailDirMake.sh One last thing: restart all the qmail services, including supervise, svscan and the like! Also, you may run qmail with a unique Linux id for all users, like a virtual email provider, or you may use each user's id as the Linux id too. Try /var/qmail/bin/qmail-ldaplookup -u <user> and look for qmailuid and qmailgid. They MUST be able to create a directory under your /var/qmail/maildirs directory. -- Bye, Fernando Maciel Souto Maior [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.araujo.com.br +55+31 3270-5886 LPIC/1 # 31908 > Dear all, > > when i type > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# telnet localhost 110 > Trying 127.0.0.1... > Connected to localhost. > Escape character is '^]'. > +OK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > user oo > +OK > pass test > -ERR mailbox could not be created > Connection closed by foreign host. > > i have created this user > > dn: uid=oo,ou=pepole,dc=fg,dc=local > objectClass: top > objectClass: inetOrgPerson > objectClass: posixAccount > objectClass: shadowAccount > objectClass: sambaSamAccount > objectClass: qmailUser > cn: oo > sn: oo > uid: oo > uidNumber: 1002 > gidNumber: 553 > homeDirectory: /home/samba-ntprof/oo > loginShell: /bin/false > gecos: System User > description: System User > sambaSID: S-1-5-21-819893408-918549671-3685292493-3004 > sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-5-21-819893408-918549671-3685292493-553 > displayName: System User > sambaPwdCanChange: 1079969914 > sambaPwdMustChange: 2147483647 > sambaLMPassword: DA1675D15141AB05AAD3B435B51404EE > sambaNTPassword: 3FDB05CB70B5B3269C976CFC23CE8CD0 > sambaPwdLastSet: 1079969914 > sambaAcctFlags: [U ] > userPassword: {SSHA}t4qusTpZ85ODxbVxOJqXet4jF9sKIDpr > mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > mailHost: falcon.fg.local > mailMessageStore: /var/qmail/maildirs/oo/ > > i have enabled > MDIRMAKE=-DAUTOMAILDIRMAKE > HDIRMAKE=-DAUTOHOMEDIRMAKE > > in qmail-ldap.h file i have edited only this > define LDAP_HOMEDIR "noHomeDirectory" > /var/qmail/control/dirmaker oo > creats the user mailbox under root directory > ls -ld /var/qmail/control/dirmaker > -rwxr--r-- 1 vmail vmail 230 Mar 22 16:55 > vi /var/qmail/control/dirmaker > #!/bin/sh > DMLOG=/tmp/dirmaker.log > mkdir -m 700 -p $1 &>$DMLOG > /var/qmail/bin/maildirmake $1/Maildir > echo "Creating Maildir Directory" >>$DMLOG > echo "First parameter is ($1)" >>$DMLOG > echo "Second parameter is ($2)" >>$DMLOG > vi /tmp/dirmaker.log > Creating Maildir Directory > First parameter is (oo) > Second parameter is () > > what should i do to make the mailbox created in /var/qmail/maildirs/ with > enough permission for each user to access his mail box > > regards > Hussein Esmat
