[quote comment="73577"]Hello

I have a little problem…When I create the domain and the mailbox it only creates the mailbox directory…the domain directory is not created…

Anybody has any idea why?

Thank you[/quote]
Sounds like a permissions problem on the directory above the domain directories.

Kirby,

Set it lower than or equal to virtual_uid_maps and you should be fine.

Hi Johnny,

Do i have to follow any uid in the /etc/passwd or just 100 will do, or the uid of Postfix?

regards,
KC

Hello Kirby,

From the Postfix documentation: “[virtual_minimum_uid] specifies a minimum UID that will be accepted as a return from a virtual_uid_maps lookup. Returned values less than this will be rejected, and the message will be deferred.”

Good luck.

Hi all,
What is virtual_minimum_uid = 100 means?

@ Dave Martin

The first thing you need to get sorted out is if the mail system is using local users or virtual users. When you set “passwd jstevens” you are changing the password for the local user. In Postfixadmin, the users are usually stored in a MySQL database, and they are separate from the system users.

I don’t have a Postfix admin installation nearby, so I can not check the specifics regarding that. You said that you went to the Virtual list, which is only for adding aliases, if I remember correctly. You need to look at the mailbox tab (or something similar).

Please forgive how simple a question this is. I have taken over supporting a Postfix server with Postfix Admin (it says that it’s Postfix Admin ver 2.1.0) installed. I can get into the admin panel, where I can edit domains, create users, etc. When I click on virtual list and view all the users, I see all the users on the system, but when I choose to edit a user, all I can do is edit their alias. I need to change the password for a certain user. The old network admin is MIA, and the user forgot the password. How do I do that? I went in the CLI and hit passwd jstevens (user name is jstevens) and it let me assign a password. But that password does not work. It does not let me do “passwd jstevens@domain.com” – so what should I do? I appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you.
