Hello all,
I have a really odd problem. Let me first say that this does not appear
to be a permissions problem, though it would at first glance.
The problem domain we'll call example.edu. When you send an email to any
of the addresses @example.edu, it will be deferred with the following
message in the logs:
delivery 25: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/
As I mentioned, at first glance, you would check permissions. All that
appears to be well though. Here's what /var/qmail/users/assign looks like:
+example.edu-:example.edu:89:89:/var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu:-::
+test.com-:test.com:89:89:/var/vpopmail/domains/test.com:-::
.
Here's the directory structure for /var/vpopmail/domains/exmaple.edu/...
(btw, vpopmail and vchkpw are uid 89):
drwxr-xr-x 23 rootwheel512 May 25 10:45 /var/
drwxr-xr-x 9 vpopmail vchkpw 512 May 25 11:16 /var/vpopmail/
drwx-- 4 vpopmail vchkpw 512 May 25 11:02 /var/vpopmail/domains/
drwx-- 148 vpopmail vchkpw 4608 May 25 11:29
/var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/
drwx-- 3 vpopmail vchkpw 512 Jan 31 2002
/var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/tmoore/
drwx-- 25 vpopmail vchkpw 1024 May 25 04:37
/var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/tmoore/Maildir/
drwx-- 2 vpopmail vchkpw 512 May 24 13:02
/var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/tmoore/Maildir/new/
So, permissions look fine. I added the test.com to do some testing and
it's working just fine with the same permissions and everything. I thought
that perhaps I hit some sort of bug or limit with the number of users you
can have in a single domain as example.edu has 3073, but I added 3500
users to test.com and all is well. The
/var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/vpasswd file looks OK too.
I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing my
last-resort plan will be to backup /var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/,
re-setup the domain and then recreate all the email accounts, copy back
emails...big headache. :)
Best wishes,
