Trouble setting up dovecot/postfix/mysql with virtual mailboxes..
Hi,
I’m building a new linux box to replace my current DNS/Mail server for my SOHO.
I was going to set up postfix/dovecot/mysql so I can support virtual users. I also use Webmin to make admin easier.
I ran in to a couple of snags.
When I first got it set up, mail went to the virtmail user and I could use my Mac mail client to read the mail. Everything was working when testing it. I was working on my TLS certificates and I broke something.
I don’t know what I did, but now it’s going to the local mailbox instead. (MailDir folder)
Since most of my time is doing other things, I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
Thx

Here is my work in progress. I still have to test out some things, like it looks like pickup is passing through amavis twice. (sendmail from root testing).

But I seem to have the mail coming in and going to where I want it.
Any review and help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks! But I’m still trying to understand where to look and debug the inbound mail issue… Any pointers on where to start?
Thx again !

On Centos, it is /var/log/maillog
also
/var/log/messages
then is SELinux sticking its nose into things.
try setenforce 0
and see if things start working, then start trouble shooting the SELinux policy errors. Note that when I create /home/vmail, I have to set SELinux permissions.
chcon -Rv --type=mail_home_rw_t /home/vmail/
And see my Apache section for creating and setting permissions for the certificates and keys.
Thx again !
