-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm new to postfix and MTAs in general; I'd like to set it up for local delivery only on my Archlinux box. I've followed the instructions on the archwiki [1] and my configuration files are exactly as explained there, except that I have *not* set neither home_mailbox nor mail_spool_directory, but instead I've setted
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail since I use procmail to sort my mail. "mail -s test renato" though silently fails (renato is my username) - i.e. mail never gets passed to procmail. In /var/log/mail.log I see something like: Oct 17 15:15:26 localhost postfix/pickup[472]: B3322200238: uid=1000 from=<renato> Oct 17 15:15:26 localhost postfix/cleanup[2246]: B3322200238: message-id=<20121017131526.B3322200238@localhost> Oct 17 15:15:26 localhost postfix/qmgr[473]: B3322200238: from=<renato@localhost>, size=669, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Oct 17 15:15:26 localhost postfix/local[2248]: B3322200238: to=<renato@localhost>, orig_to=<renato>, relay=local, delay=3.6, delays=3.5/0/0/0.05, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure) So I guessed the error is in local; I've substitued "local" with "local -v" in master.cf and I get a much more detailed log: http://pastebin.com/Lf95k9mG which unfortunately doesn't tell me much. Could someone more expert than me point me in the right direction? many thanks, renato [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Local_Mail_Delivery_with_Postfix -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQfrt0AAoJEBz6xFdttjrfaHwIANWA+DcgOTOy59A9+j7bJZ/x d1XLm4kzLH/QcJGM7KMWIVP37w/il8Tv7nvETDrs2Sxhn84w1VCRTGgw6EV0NW22 Djv5ty2J5uPjsiCj6TQbZyv/fwv0hVGkHpRXKaaZYZOzMK2S+m+j5ek268QcWfKu YZ217us50OBg5A9MM3pGVYGTWhhLRiYTiju2vZanzWAecmBsN8rMmHmjbOjZdvor F3eBRrlSLcD9XX+Ft6HMBcY6Dby09Vkn5RG3Nt4b7viX+LidfiuFMiMmwgxfaT19 hpZKDExjVS9mbz1aE7iiiMdNkqkEmI5aT8zEg/KKkrGh9jTS3lBZaA6Y12Spwbo= =z8j9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
