Note that the error you see comes from sqwebmail/maildir.c:
if (dbobj_open(&tmpdb, save_tmpdbname, "N")) {
syslog(LOG_ERR, "Can't create cache file |%s|: %s\n", save_tmpdbname,
strerror(errno));
error("Can't create cache file.");
}
This in turn calls either bdbobj_open or gdbmobj_open [see dbobj.h].
So my guess is that the difference between your home and work machines is
something to do with the version of bdb and/or gdbm installed, or which one
it has decided to use (see dbobj.config and config.log)
But apart from that, have you checked you're not out of disk space or inodes
(df -i), and you don't have a filesystem quota for the 'vpopmail' user?
Although I'd expect a different error message than 'No such file or
directory' for those problems, it could be that bdbobj_open / gdbmobj_open
is setting errno to something else.
What if you do:
su - vpopmail
cd /home/vpopmail/domains/xxxxxx.com/stefan.onken/Maildir
echo "hello world" > tmp/foobar
cat /etc/passwd >> tmp/foobar
cat tmp/foobar
Is that successful?
Do you get a new zero-byte file each time you try to login, and the same
error message?
