it's as it says. what maildrop considers as the "home" directory must be owned by the user that maildrop delivers mail for. note that maildrop is not part of postfix. PS. www-data has no business owning directories except those where apache needs write access. do not sacrifice security for ease of use. > > Jan 31 13:10:10 stock postfix/virtual[16721]: 2621480B34: > to=<cont...@xxxx.com <mailto:cont...@xxxx.com>>, relay=virtual, > delay=280804, delays=280804/0.02/0/0.06, dsn=4.2.0, status=deferred > (delivery failed to mailbox /home/xxxx.com/contact: cannot open file: Is > a directory) > > > I created 2 directories for emails : > /home/my-main-domain.fr/contact/ owned by www-data > /home/xxxx.com/contact/ owned by www-data > you need to chose what format to use: - mbox: this is a file, not a directory - maildir: this is a directory, but it has a structure. you can let postfix create it (only create the parent directory). or you can use maildirmake to create it. if you want to create it manually, then it needs to contain 3 subdirs: cur/, new/ and tmp/. to deliver to maildir format, append a '/' at the end of the mailbox (in virtual_mailbox_maps). otherwise, postfix will try to deliver to mbox, which must be a file, not a directory. > (XXX stands for a domain that is hosted on the web server) > next time, use example.com, example.org, example.net, whatyouwant.example. > *Here is my main.cf* : > next time, send output of 'postconf -n' instead.
