I'm experiencing the weirdest problem with a second mail server I just
set up. I've set up several toasters following Bill's instructions
and many FreeBSD toasters following Matt Simerson's instructions all
without any trouble. But the toaster I set up today is driving me nuts.
I'm setting up a second mail server that will share load with our
current mail server. They both connect to the same MySQL database for
vpopmail authentication and spamassassin settings. Over NFS, both
servers are sharing the same ~vpopmail/domains directory,
/var/qmail/control directory, and /var/qmail/users directory. The
primary mail server has no problems at all sending and receiving
email. The second mail server will not accept any email for any local
email accounts because chkuser reports "not existing recipient." I've
verified that vpopmail recognizes the email accounts I'm trying to
send to (~vpopmail/bin/vuserinfo <email_address> returns the expected
output with no errors). I've checked the ownership and permissions of
every directory involved (especially the ~vpopmail/domains/ directory)
and everything looks good (the primary mail server is successfully
using these shared directories over NFS right now so permissions
should be good). I've made sure that the UIDs and GIDs of all qmail
users and the vpopmail user match on both servers. The only
difference in the two servers is that the server I'm having trouble
with is a 64-bit system (running SLES 9).
I'm at my whit's end. Would anyone please suggest what I should try
next to figure out why chkuser denies delivery attempt with the
message "511 sorry, no mailbox here by that name (#5.1.1 - chkuser)."
I greatly appreciate the help.
Sincerely,
Adam Woodbeck
I should mention that I did not change any chkuser settings before
building and installing the toaster.
