Zimbra

Looks like naeb's speculation that the correct directory is /opt/zimbra/data/postfix/spool was spot on. I changed my /etc/postfix/main.cf to point to that

Code:

queue_directory = /opt/zimbra/data/postfix/spool

and now command line mail works.

I am still getting lots of these Permission denied errors in the zimbra.log though.

can you do

Code:

ls -lR /opt/zimbra/data/postfix

and post the output please. We can then compare and see which directories have the wrong perms.

but the files in your pid directory are owned by root, when they should be postfix. Can you do the following then please

Code:

ps -fu postfix

and post output. If that returns nothing then

Code:

 ps -ef | grep pickup

also

Code:

su - zimbra
zmlocalconfig postfix_mail_owner

uxbod · #16 (**permalink**) 04-16-2008, 01:18 PM

hmmm, okay if you are able to then

Code:

su - zimbra
zmcontrol shutdown
exit
cd /opt/zimbra/data/postfix/spool/pid
rm *
su - zimbra
zmcontrol start

basically clear out the pid directory as they should be owned by postfix, for some reason when something has started before they have been created as root.

*** DISCLAIMER: when doing rm's make sure you are in the correct directory and have a good backup!!! ***

AdamG · #17 (**permalink**) 04-16-2008, 01:21 PM

I'll try to get this done tonight.
Is there any way to gauge the impact this may be having? As I said, nobody has complained, but what is throwing the errors?

AdamG · #18 (**permalink**) 04-17-2008, 09:18 AM

When I shutdown zimbra, I noticed some postfix processes still running. I killed those off and restarted zimbra and I am no longer getting errors in the logs.

ZCS 5.0.5 Open Source on CentOS 5 upgraded from 5.0.2
I ran into the same problem with mail not being sent through the system mta at the command line or through php scripts.

/etc/postfix/main.cf did not have the correct directory for 'queue_directory'
queue_directory = /opt/zimbra/postfix/spool
should be
queue_directory = /opt/zimbra/data/postfix/spool
