 Posted: Tue Apr 28, 2015 2:07 am Post subject: Help with postfix and fetchmail? |
 |
|
I'm trying to set up postfix and fetchmail so I can send and receive email through a unix mailbox. But even though I followed directions for both, I have no mailbox in /var/spool/mail. I can send mail with the mail executable, but not receive it.
How do I do this?
My main.cf:
| Code: | relayhost = [smtp.gmail.com]:587
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/saslpass
smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous
smtp_use_tls = yes
compatibility_level = 2
queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix
command_directory = /usr/sbin
daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix
data_directory = /var/lib/postfix
mail_owner = postfix
unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550
debug_peer_level = 2
debugger_command =
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
ddd $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases
mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq
setgid_group = postdrop
html_directory = no
manpage_directory = /usr/share/man
sample_directory = /etc/postfix
readme_directory = no
inet_protocols = ipv4
meta_directory = /etc/postfix
shlib_directory = /usr/lib64/postfix/${mail_version}
home_mailbox = .maildir/ |
My master.cf:
| Code: | #

# of the file, see the master(5) manual page (command: "man 5 master" or
# on-line: http://www.postfix.org/master.5.html).

My saslpass:
| Code: | | [smtp.gmail.com]:587 silenthunter.vanguard@gmail.com:REDACTED |
My transport:
| Code: | # This sends mail to Gmail
gmail.com smtp:[smtp.gmail.com]:587
#
# Except mail going to the tape and closet server
silent relay:[localhost] |
aliases:
| Code: | | silent: silent@TERMINAL-BMRF-9 |
generic:
| Code: | | silent@localhost silenthunter.vanguard@gmail.com |
EDIT: Ohhhh my goodness, it downloaded them all to local .maildir. How do I stop it doing that? I want it to download them all to /var/spool/mail/silent so dtmail can see them.

Hi Silent-Hunter,
multiple comments:
Either you have posted the wrong file for master.cf or your master.cf is messed up. The posted data looks like the raw main.cf (comments and options).
I hope you did not reveal your real password by posting saslpass above.
Most likely the line | Code: | | home_mailbox = .maildir/ |
in your main.cf is responsible for maildir delivery.
Best Regards,
Holger |

Yes, I posted the wrong file. And no, that's not my real password. I almost did though! Let me put the right one:

And is it safe to change the home_maildir to /var/spool/mail? I didn't have to do any of this last time I set it up, I just followed these directions last time and it worked: http://pissedoffadmins.com/general/postfix-in-gentoo-using-gmail-as-relay-without-certs.html
Oh, and here are my use flags for postfix:
| Code: | * Found these USE flags for mail-mta/postfix-3.0.0:
U I
+ + berkdb : Add support for sys-libs/db (Berkeley DB for MySQL)
- - cdb : Add support for the CDB database engine from the author of qmail
- - doc : Add extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc). It is recommended to enable per package instead of globally
- - dovecot-sasl : Enable net-mail/dovecot protocol version 1 (server only) SASL implementation
+ + eai : Add support for SMTPUTF8
- - hardened : Activate default security enhancements for toolchain (gcc, glibc, binutils)
- - ldap : Add LDAP support (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
- - ldap-bind : Add support for binding to LDAP backend using dev-libs/cyrus-sasl
- - lmdb : Add support for using dev-db/lmdb for lookup tables
+ + mbox : Add support for mbox (/var/spool/mail) style mail spools
- - memcached : Add support for using net-misc/memcached for lookup tables
- - mysql : Add mySQL Database support
- - nis : Support for NIS/YP services
+ + pam : Add support for PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules) - DANGEROUS to arbitrarily flip
- - postgres : Add support for the postgresql database
+ + sasl : Add support for the Simple Authentication and Security Layer
- - sqlite : Add support for sqlite - embedded sql database
+ + ssl : Add support for Secure Socket Layer connections
- - vda : Add support for virtual delivery agent quota enforcing |
EDIT: THANK YOU!!! I commented out the home directory line and it fixed it! 
EDIT2: Now I have a new problem:
| Code: | | mail: Cannot create lockfile /var/mail/silent.lock: Error creating temporary lockfile |
My /var/spool/mail permissions are:
| Code: | | drwxrwsr-x 2 mail mail 4096 Apr 28 07:38 mail |
Is that incorrect? I followed directions for that as well.
EDIT3: The lockfile problem appears to have gone away on its own. Also fetchmail isn't fetching anything. My fetchmailrc contents are as follows (Password redacted, of course:
| Code: | poll pop.gmail.com port 995 proto pop3
user "silenthunter.vanguard@gmail.com" password "REDACTED" ssl is "silent@TERMINAL-BMRF-9" here |
When I type fetchmail -v I get:
| Code: | | fetchmail: no mailservers have been specified. |

| Just bumping this, since I still can't get fetchmail to work. Not sure if there's Gentoo specific instructions, but I tried following several to no avail. |

| Do you have a ~/.fetchmailrc file? That's where the mail servers are specified. |
