mails never arrive nor rejected
Hi folks,
Ubuntu 7.04 server amd64
Postfix 2.3.8
SquirrelMail version 1.4.11
I discovered the cause of the non-arrival of incoming mails to users. The mails were not rejected.
Users have their mailbox on $HOME/Maildir. Addtionally they have another mail_files on;
$ ls /var/mail/
Maildir user1 user2 user3 user4 etc.
$ ls /var/mail/Maildir/
cur new tmp
/var/mail/Maildir/cur and /tmp are empty
/var/mail/Maildir/new having spam mails
Each time when new mails arrive the same will be added on their mail-files on /var/mail. For such a reason the new mails never arrive on $HOME/Maildir.
When creating a new account with;
$ sudo useradd -m -s /bin/bash user100
New mail box will be created on user's $HOME/Maildir automatically. However the first new mail to user100 will create a new mail_file on /var/mail/user100. All later mails to user100 will be added on /var/mail/user100 (the mail_file)
Please advise where shall I check and how to fix this problem. I don't need mail_files. I need all incoming mails delivered on respective $HOME/Maildir. TIA
B.R.
