Now i send a mail, i got following error [r...@linux home]# echo "Test with Transport" | mail -s "Test Email" ad...@hosthat.com [r...@linux home]# tail -f /var/log/maillog Jun 23 16:13:22 linux postfix/pickup[2434]: DB0712A8A: uid=0 from=<root> Jun 23 16:13:22 linux postfix/cleanup[2576]: DB0712A8A: message-id=< 20090623104322.db0712...@linux.hosthat.com> Jun 23 16:13:22 linux postfix/qmgr[2436]: DB0712A8A: from=< r...@linux.hosthat.com>, size=445, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 23 16:13:22 linux postfix/virtual[2526]: warning: maildir access problem for UID/GID=4444/4444: create maildir file /home/vmail/info/tmp/1245753802.P2526.linux.localdomain: Permission denied Jun 23 16:13:22 linux postfix/virtual[2526]: warning: perhaps you need to create the maildirs in advance Jun 23 16:13:22 linux postfix/virtual[2526]: DB0712A8A: to=<i...@hosthat.com>, orig_to=<ad...@hosthat.com>, relay=virtual, delay=0.05, delays=0.04/0/0/0.01, dsn=4.2.0, status=deferred (maildir delivery failed: create maildir file /home/vmail/info/tmp/1245753802.P2526.linux.localdomain: Permission denied) In postconf, i have gid and uid set to 4444, user vmail have same uid and gid.
