Hello all, I have a really odd problem. Let me first say that this does not appear to be a permissions problem, though it would at first glance.
The problem domain we'll call example.edu. When you send an email to any of the addresses @example.edu, it will be deferred with the following message in the logs: delivery 25: deferral: Unable_to_chdir_to_maildir._(#4.2.1)/ As I mentioned, at first glance, you would check permissions. All that appears to be well though. Here's what /var/qmail/users/assign looks like: +example.edu-:example.edu:89:89:/var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu:-:: +test.com-:test.com:89:89:/var/vpopmail/domains/test.com:-:: . Here's the directory structure for /var/vpopmail/domains/exmaple.edu/... (btw, vpopmail and vchkpw are uid 89): drwxr-xr-x 23 root wheel 512 May 25 10:45 /var/ drwxr-xr-x 9 vpopmail vchkpw 512 May 25 11:16 /var/vpopmail/ drwx------ 4 vpopmail vchkpw 512 May 25 11:02 /var/vpopmail/domains/ drwx------ 148 vpopmail vchkpw 4608 May 25 11:29 /var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/ drwx------ 3 vpopmail vchkpw 512 Jan 31 2002 /var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/tmoore/ drwx------ 25 vpopmail vchkpw 1024 May 25 04:37 /var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/tmoore/Maildir/ drwx------ 2 vpopmail vchkpw 512 May 24 13:02 /var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/tmoore/Maildir/new/ So, permissions look fine. I added the test.com to do some testing and it's working just fine with the same permissions and everything. I thought that perhaps I hit some sort of bug or limit with the number of users you can have in a single domain as example.edu has 3073, but I added 3500 users to test.com and all is well. The /var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/vpasswd file looks OK too. I'm at a loss. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing my last-resort plan will be to backup /var/vpopmail/domains/example.edu/, re-setup the domain and then recreate all the email accounts, copy back emails...big headache. :) Best wishes, - Chris -------------------------------------------------------- This email was created with 100% recycled electrons. --------------------------------------------------------
