 |
|
Hi,
I am logged as root and I keep the following error messages:
| Code: | | postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/(some number).(some number): No such file or directory |
The (some number) is just some random number, they have had different ranges every time I reboot my computer.
If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this, please let me know.
Thanks! |

Hello,
what are the permissions of /var/spool/postfix/maildrop?
could you please list the content of the maildrop directory too?
Best regards

Hello again,
oops, if you did a proper postfix install with emerge, this should not
happen :-/
I hope, the other directories exist at least.
you might want to create the maildrop directory
manually. The owner has to be the postfix user (postfix), the
ownergroup should be "postdrop" per default.
drwx-wx--- 2 postfix postdrop 35 Oct 23 15:20 maildrop
please set the permissions as in the example above and restart
your postfix-system.
If there were no other problems with your install, it should work
now...
Best regards

Just ran into this problem myself. emerge postfix did not create the necessary directories.
Edit:
Looks like the answer is to run
/etc/postfix/post-install create-missing |

| For some reason, post-install is placed in /usr/share/postfix/doc instead of /etc/postfix. Just moved it back to /etc/postfix then "postfix check" should run fine. |

May I doubt this? wx, but no read ?? At least, looks very strange !
If you are sure, please confirm !!
drwx-wx--- 2 postfix postdrop 35 Oct 23 15:20 maildrop
please set the permissions as in the example above and restart
your postfix-system.
Btw. I had the same problem, followed the advice (set 770) and now it looks like no more errors. |

Hello,
yeah, the maildrop directory is only writeable.
so the postdrop program is able to put mail in there
but not able to read the other peoples locally injected mails.
best regards
