Dear everyone,
I am trying to get my Email set-up to work, and wonder if someone would shed some light onto this?
Best regards, J.
Set-up is :
postfix -> dovecot LDA -> mysql <- postfixadminWhat works: postfix delivers to dovecot. postfixadmin is configured, and have created one domain test.info.
What is broken: dovecot is mis-configured. postfixadmin might well be mis-configured.
I have followed the instructions in the postfixadmin/DOCUMENTS/DOVECOT.TXT for the additional dovecot configuration.
*** ERROR MESSAGES All Emails passed from postfix to dovecot generate: Jan 4 20:35:02 logout dovecot: deliver(test@test.info): Unknown dict module: quota Jan 4 20:35:02 logout dovecot: deliver(test@test.info): Fatal: Quota root storage=200000 proxy init() failed Jan 4 20:57:18 logout dovecot: IMAP(test@test.info): mkdir(/var/mail/vmail/test.info/test@test.info/cur) failed: Permission denied (euid=5000(vmail) egid=5000(vmail) missing +w perm: /var/mail)
