Hello jay,
Ya, u can use the sudo and set config file such a way so it will allow
vamail to create
dir in /home/ and change mailMessageStore path to "./Maildir/".

I've already found the logfiles for qmail. It's in

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.

If u got above type of error then there is
permission problem.
If you are hurry then change the /home permission
to 777.
it will work for while. but due to security reason u
can't do it.
so you can use sudo. and another thing you vamil
user is trying to create
dir in /home dir. it has not permission to create
dir in /home directory.
I tried changing the mode of /home to 777 and send
another mail, but something weird happened.
First, the script created a home directory and a
Maildir(with cur, new, etc.) of the mail recipient
inside /home. Then it will create an ascii file in
/var/vmail that contains the actual mail. The ascii
file containing the mail is sort of like the mbox
format and named after the recipient's name.
For example, after sending email to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it created a /home/bani and
/home/bani/Maildir directories... and an ascii file
/var/vmail/bani which resembles the mbox format.
Any idea why this is happening?
Does it have something to do with both
homeDirectory: /home/bani and
mailMessageStore: /var/vmail
(Note: bani doesn't have an actual unix account and a
home directory, I just added the homeDirectory in ldap
because posixAccount requires it)
Thanks.. (hang on' we're almost there! :))
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!
