[opensuse] Postfix + Cyrus IMAP + MySQL won't work :-(

Cyrus has it own mailbox and account structure (it is effectively a mail black box with mail stored in a database). I think you need create the appropriate cyrus mailbox so that delivery can take place. All postfix bit is point postfix delivery to the cyrus mail system. It does not really need postfix as it has its own MTA and MDA agents. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGQfkZasN0sSnLmgIRAsTRAJ9vQ1pRPoOroO3ilecwDbNJe+NeAQCgrDWd 0MAh+ZEar6ZNkLm461lkRBE= =DjtK -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

A good part of this is at least a bit misleading. (^-^) I hope you don't mind if I expand a bit on your comment. Cyrus does indeed not use maildir to store mails, though it may look the same at first glance. Instead the mails are stored in folders and a few databases are maintaining the structure and status flags. So the mails are NOT stored in a database, but the status of the mails is (mailboxes.db, seen.db, deliver.db etc.). The valid mailboxes are maintained in mailboxes.db. Before a mailbox can be used it must be created. This can be done in cyradm or by scripts that use similar funktions. Both php and perl provide modules where the neccessary functions are available. Postfix does indeed not deliver the mail itself, lmtp is used either directly or through a pipe transport (in Postfix the transport is called "cyrus" in master.cf) using the deliver binary from Cyrus. In the end, it is the same since deliver will also use lmtp to submit the mail to Cyrus. So the delivery is not done by the Postfix local delivery agent (either "local" or "virtual"). But Cyrus is a pure imap server, it does not speak smtp, so a MTA (mail transfer agent) like Postfix, Exim or Sendmail is neccessary. Maybe you mistook it for Courier. There are two packages available: courier-imap, the imapserver, and courier-mta, the mailserver package. -- Sandy List replies only please!

Innocent and blue-eyed as I was I started with Cyrus without reading any documentation and only later I began to dig into the documentation and the maintenance part of the package. Cyrus is nice as long as you know what you are doing and nothing goes wrong. Recovering from a corrupt file system and having no backup will keep you busy for days. If someone is starting fresh it might be worth a thought to think about alternatives like Courier Imap. -- Sandy List replies only please!

You have a mixed configuration!! This syslog entry was made by Sendmail, not the compatibility binary of Postfix. Did you have a previous installation with Sendmail enabled?

Are you able to use deliver to submit mails to Cyrus? This looks as if either The mailbox does not exist in Cyrus (verify in cyradm, that the mailbox was successfully created AND that it has beed created within a virtual domain.

Without showing the actual configuration no advice can be given. I suggest you get Cyrus up first, then at least you can deliver mails safely. Afterwards you should see that Postfix is configured as you need it. -- Sandy List replies only please!
