IMAP: Some users do not recieve any mail
Support knowledgebase (hacht_lokale_user)
Applies to
SuSE Imap-Server: Version All
Symptom:
This symptom can occur when a local account has been created.
If this is the case, mail for this user will be delivered into the
directory /var/spool/mail in the file $user, and not in
the cyrus mail folder.
Reason:
The "mailbox-transport" is configured to first look for local accounts before delivering
mail to the LDAP directories.
Solution:
Changing the configuration of the mail-transport can fix this problem.
By adding the fallback_transport
line in the configuration file
/etc/postfix/main.cf your problem will be solved.
-------------snip---------------------------
mailbox_transport = procmail
# The fallback_transport specifies the optional transport in master.cf
# to use for recipients that are not found in the UNIX passwd database.
# This parameter has precedence over the luser_relay parameter.
#
fallback_transport = local
-------------snap---------------------------
After changing the configuration, you have to reload the new configuration into postfix,
which can be accomplished with this command:
# rcpostfix reload
