Hi Jay,
Make sure that you have /var/qmail/control/ldapgid file that contains
the the vmail group id and /var/qmail/control/ldauid containing the
vmail user id. The group id and user id are the numeric equivalent of
the username and group name. See /etc/passwd to get it.
Another thing to check is the /var/qmail/control/ldapmessagestore file
which should point to your mail directory which I think in your case is
/var/vmail. The script that would be used by qmail to auto-create the
directory should be set in the file /var/qmail/control/dirmaker . You
can either use the file included with qmail which is
/var/qmail/bin/maildirmake but I think you may have to do some
customization to allow user specific Maildir creation.
I'm not sure but I think some of the configuration files I mentioned
above can be set on the ldap server, on a per user basis. I haven't
tried this yet, but I've read or have seen some people doing it. Maybe
some of the guys here who have done it can give more info on this.
Good summery HyperAxe.
Jay, also check if your /var resides on a different partition? If it
does, make sure that
/var is *not* mounted with nosuid. You can verify this from fstab file..
Hope this helps.

Aside from the smtpd logs, do you also have qmail

about your installation but with my installation

qmail logs are under

under /service/qmail/logs/main/current.
Most details of errors can actually be seen on qmail
logs.
I've already found the logfiles for qmail. It's in
/var/qmail/log/qmail/current, the same location of
qmail-smtpd/current log.
After emptying the contents of
/var/qmail/log/qmail/current, I again tried sending
email and got these logs, which indeed tells it's a
homedir creation problem.

After a quick googling for the error message, I found
this link:
http://www.mail-archive.com/qmail-ldap%40qmail-ldap.org/msg01653.html
The user has a different scenario, but the same error
message.

Do you know what qmail program is being invoke to
create that virtual home directories? I know that its
not a separate script because the flag to enable it is
included in the main qmail Makefile. Perhaps I can run
it in debugging mode. Or, perhaps that user priveledge
in which that program is running is not set to
vmail:vmail, which owns the /var/vmail directory such
that it cannot create any file in it.
Any idea?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm trying to make qmail-smtp to work by
retrieving
user details from ldap but still no luck.
A tail on /var/qmail/log/qmail-smtpd/current gives
me:
@4000000042df2efb00da19fc tcpserver: status: 1/50
@4000000042df2efb00edffbc tcpserver: pid 703 from
10.10.8.112
@4000000042df2efb01164454 tcpserver: ok 703
gaheris.camlann.pregi.net:10.10.8.113:25
galahad.camlann.pregi.net:10.10.8.112::62719
@4000000042df2efb09f120bc tcpserver: end 703 status
0
@4000000042df2efb09f43d9c tcpserver: status: 0/50
which makes me think that there's no problem in smtp
connection.
I have a user:group vmail:vmail with home directory
set to /var/vmail.
I also have a file /var/qmail/control/dirmaker that
contains the absolute path of the actual dirmaker
script located at /var/qmail/bin/dirmaker and
contains:
#!/bin/sh
/bin/mkdir -m 0700 -p $1
During installation, I also have these lines
uncommented:
MDIRMAKE=-DAUTOMAILDIRMAKE
HDIRMAKE=-DAUTOHOMEDIRMAKE
I have also indicated the rootdn and password in
/var/qmail/control/ldaplogin|ldappassword
Tailing the debug.log of my slapd, I can see that
upon
arrival of the mail, qmail starts to search the
directory and read access to it is being granted, so
that means that there is no problem with regards to
ldap lookups. I have attached here slapd's
debug.log.
Here's the output of qmail-ldaplookup
Found 1 entry:

Running /var/qmail/bin/qmail-qstat gives me:

Do you have any idea where did I go wrong?
Thanks.
