Hi all,

I followed the instructions under http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyrus-Web-cyradm-HOWTO/html/index.html to set up Postfix + Cyrus IMAP + MySQL.

Before posting here I was searching for a solution but couldn't find it, so maybe someone here could shed some light...

After setting everything up I wanted to test the whole scenario... It doesn't seem to work, though...

These are the relevant error lines taken from /var/log/mail when sending one single email from root to my newly created email account:

In the meantime I'll re-read and re-check one more time the whole process... although I'm close to have all in my mind already :-/

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

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? The sendmail binary from Postfix logs its entries like May 9 13:05:27 v601 postfix/pickup[12532]: 41C5B4940E: uid=0 from=<root>

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.

Okay, that address doesn't exist either, so Postfix killed the mail completely. One more mail has succeeded to reach Digital Nirwana(TM)...

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!
