Frequently Asked Questions:
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) Why isn't PostfixAdmin creating my mailbox?
|
|
|
|
- PostfixAdmin is only a web interface for storing configuration settings.
|
|
It does not (by default!) have the ability to create mail folders on disk.
|
|
In a normal setup, sending the 'Welcome' email accomplishes this task -
|
|
as Courier/Cyrus/etc do it (and have permission to do so)
|
|
|
|
|
|
2) I've deleted the mailbox from PostfixAdmin, yet it still exists on disk? Why?
|
|
|
|
- This is related to #1 above - namely, PostfixAdmin (which is a php web
|
|
application) does not have permission to modify the mailbox files on disk.
|
|
You need to either manually remove the directories
|
|
(e.g. rm -Rf /var/spool/mail/vmail/something@example.org)
|
|
or install the postfixadmin-mailbox-postdeletion.sh script (See ADDITIONS/)
|
|
and modify config.inc.php appropriately.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3) How do I have to setup sudo to run the $CONF['*_script'] scripts?
|
|
|
|
- run visudo to edit the sudo configuration file
|
|
- add a line like this for every script you want to run:
|
|
wwwrun ALL = (courier) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/postfixadmin-mailbox-postcreation.sh
|
|
(replace usernames and path according to your setup)
|
|
|
|
|
|
4) I try and create a mailbox, but it keeps saying "Invalid email address"... ?
|
|
|
|
- Postfixadmin, by default, attempts to verify an email address is valid, partly by
|
|
checking that the domain exists. For most people this works as expected, but
|
|
if it doesn't for you, try editing $CONF['emailcheck_resolve_domain'] to 'NO' in
|
|
config.inc.php and try again.
|
|
|
|
|
|
5) Postfixadmin is telling me an error occurred, and I should look at the server error logs for more details. Where do I look?
|
|
|
|
- This depends on your server setup (distribution, how PHP is executed etc).
|
|
|
|
- Postfixadmin typically calls PHP's error_log() function to log some detail about errors. This may write to :
|
|
|
|
* /var/log/syslog
|
|
* /var/log/apache2/error.log
|
|
* /var/log/php7.4-fpm.log (or equivalent for your PHP version)
|
|
* or somewhere you may have manually configured.
|
|
|
|
You can change where it logs by adding something like :
|
|
|
|
```PHP
|
|
ini_set('error_log', '/tmp/postfixadmin.log'); // example only
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
into config.local.php, or you can change your PHP configuration.
