Hi list,

I just installed Postfix with Courier and some addons (spam+anti virus) and it works fine! Except one thing: the Maildirs of the users are not created automatically! I don't think this is a desired behavior as this is a pain in the a** when someone without server access wants to create new mailboxes.

I use Postfix with virtual mailboxes for virtual domain hosting. Authentication is done with mysql, creating of new mailboxes is done via postfixadmin. I add a new Domain (example.com) and Mailbox (postmaster). Trying to log in after that brings the following error in /var/log/syslog:

imapd: chdir /var/spool/mail/example.com/postmaster/: No such file or directory

If I mkdir this by hand and chown to the correct user (virtual:virtual), I can login (although SquirrelMail gets an error after login because no folders within the users Maildir exists).

Could need a helping hand! Is there a config variable that enables creating these mailboxes? Or have I done anything wrong? Where to have a look? Or do you need the config files to see what could be wrong?

Thanks,
  Matthias
