Where is Maildir

**satimis** · 10-29-2007

Hi folks,

Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
Postfix 2.3.8

This is a newly built server. I can't locate the Maildir after sending mail.

Steps performed as follows;

$ hostname

Code:

ubuntu

$ hostname -f

Code:

ubuntu.mydomain.com

$ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep mailbox_command

Code:

mailbox_command =

$ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep home_mailbox

Code:

home_mailbox = Maildir/

$ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep mydestination

Code:

mydestination = ubuntu.mydomain.com, localhost.mydomain.com, localhost.localdomain, localhost

$ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep inet_interfaces

Code:

inet_interfaces = all

$ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep inet_protocols

Code:

inet_protocols = all

$ cat /etc/postfix/main.cf | grep mynetworks

Code:

mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.0/24"
smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination

ping both ubuntu.mydomain.com/mydomain.com works.

On browser type both ubuntu.mydomain.com/mydomain.com displaying Apache2 default page.

$ telnet mail.mydomain.com 25

Code:

Trying 64.202.165.92...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection timed out

$ telnet ubuntu.mydomain.com 25

Code:

Trying 127.0.1.1...

Where is the Maildir ???

Do I need changing hostname as "mydomain.com"? If YES, please advice;

1) Apart from /etc/hosts and /etc/postifx/main.cf what other files I have to change as well ?

2) After changes made what command shall I run to activate the changes rather than rebooting the server ?

TIA

B.R.
