Creating new mailboxes in Postfix+Cyrus IMAP+Saslauthd
 

Hi,

I have configured Postfix+Cyrus IMAP+Saslauth in Fedora Core 3.

I have been succesful in sending mails and receiving mails from already created accounts in box. But now I want to add new users to it.

The steps I am taking -

1) Creating password in SASLAUTH.
echo 'pass' | saslpasswd -p -c "user"

2) Logging in as cyrus
su cyrus

3) Invoking cyradm and then
cm user

All these steps are executing without a hitch. But any time I try to send a mail to user - my stmp is rejecting it saying user does not exist.

Regards

Do you have recipient_maps in Postfix main.cf?

No.

Actually I overcame this problem by creating user accounts on Linux OS. And even though I had specified use of sasl password - I can only send and receive mail through OS password.

I had thought that u did not need to create users in OS and can configure it in cyrus. But I dont seem to be able to get it to working.....

Thanks for your interest.

Looking forward to your reply

Regards

Time to check the log files for postfix, sasl and cyrus to see who is dropping the email..

when a mate got my email server going before we had the major system crash, we were adding users to the aliases file under postfix as well, then running this command postalias /etc/postfix/aliases

dont know if thats what your looking for
