  1. Frequently Asked Questions:
  2. 1) Why isn't PostfixAdmin creating my mailbox?
  3. - PostfixAdmin is only a web interface for storing configuration settings.
  4. It does not (by default!) have the ability to create mail folders on disk.
  5. In a normal setup, sending the 'Welcome' email accomplishes this task -
  6. as Courier/Cyrus/etc do it (and have permission to do so)
  7. 2) I've deleted the mailbox from PostfixAdmin, yet it still exists on disk? Why?
  8. - This is related to #1 above - namely, PostfixAdmin (which is a php web
  9. application) does not have permission to modify the mailbox files on disk.
  10. You need to either manually remove the directories
  11. (e.g. rm -Rf /var/spool/mail/vmail/something@example.org)
  12. or install the postfixadmin-mailbox-postdeletion.sh script (See ADDITIONS/)
  13. and modify config.inc.php appropriately.
  14. 3) How do I have to setup sudo to run the $CONF['*_script'] scripts?
  15. - run visudo to edit the sudo configuration file
  16. - add a line like this for every script you want to run:
  17. wwwrun ALL = (courier) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/postfixadmin-mailbox-postcreation.sh
  18. (replace usernames and path according to your setup)
  19. 4) I try and create a mailbox, but it keeps saying "Invalid email address"... ?
  20. - Postfixadmin, by default, attempts to verify an email address is valid, partly by
  21. checking that the domain exists. For most people this works as expected, but
  22. if it doesn't for you, try editing $CONF['emailcheck_resolve_domain'] to 'NO' in
  23. config.inc.php and try again.
