Can't sent to Maildir : postfix

  • 772

I set up /etc/postfix/main.cf

smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Ubuntu)
biff = no
append_dot_mydomain = no
readme_directory = no
smtpd_tls_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
smtpd_tls_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
smtpd_use_tls=yes
smtpd_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtpd_scache
smtp_tls_session_cache_database = btree:${data_directory}/smtp_scache
myhostname = example.com
alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases
alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases
myorigin = /etc/mailname
mydestination = example.com, example02.com, mail01.example.local, localhost.example.local, localhost
relayhost = 
mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 [::ffff:127.0.0.0]/104 [::1]/128 192.168.1.0/24
mailbox_command = procmail -a "$EXTENSION"
mailbox_size_limit = 0
recipient_delimiter = +
inet_interfaces = all
home_mailbox=Maildir/

and

/etc/init.d/postfix restart

but.. You have new mail in /var/mail/user

Why? What's wrong?

postfix email-server maildir

  1. According to the documentation, mailbox_command takes precedence over home_mailbox. Either disable the former, or set up your .procmailrc to deliver to Maildir (by suffixing the mailboxes with a slash, if memory serves).

  2. I agree with Michiel. I have the same setup, with procmail doing local delivery. I have the following in both /etc/procmailrc and my local .procmailrc files:

    MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir/
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR
