Public bug reported: Binary package hint: postfix
As of Lucid, one can choose a user's directory to be encrypted. I chose this, and now, postfix only works if ALL users are logged in at the same time. With a user with an encypted home directory, it is a bad idea to use the ~/Maildir configuration. Most of the time, this directory cannot be present. Thus, if ANY user has an ecrypted home directory, postfix should NOT use ~/Maildir. Also, if ANY new user is added with an ecrypted home directory, postfix should be re-configured NOT use ~/Maildir. Please also warn against this in manuals, e.g. het postfix serverguide https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/postfix.html I am now trying to find out how to get back to mbox style. I have not yet found a manual for that .... ** Affects: postfix (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to postfix in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/694493 Title: postfix default installation yields errors with encrypted user directories -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
