[maildropl] Unable to create a dot-lock at ...

[sim085 <si...@ho...>]

Hello,

I have managed to create a set-up that uses Postfix, Courier and MySql. This
works fine and I decided to introduce MailDrop now. I managed to install
MailDrop.

I configured main.cf as follows:

maildrop_destination_recipient_limit = 1
maildrop_concurrency_recipient_limit = 1
virtual_transport = maildrop

and master.cf as follows:

maildrop  unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
 flags=R user=vmail argv=/usr/bin/maildrop
 -d ${user}@${nexthop} ${extension} ${recipient} ${user} ${nexthop}
${sender}

I created a maildroprc file under /etc/courier/ but I left this one empty.

My aim is to have maildrop deliver the emails to the users created in the
MySql database. I know maildrop is connecting to the database since in the
mail.info log file I can see that if I send an email to postmaster, maildrop
tries to put this email in the postmaster directory.

However each time I try to send an email I get the following error:

Jun 17 16:59:58 mail postfix/qmgr[4473]: 67EAD50165:
from=<pos...@my...>, size=343, ncrypt=1 (queue active)
Jun 17 16:59:58 mail authdaemond: Authenticated: sysusername=<null>,

address=pos...@my..., fullname=postmaster,
maildir=/var/spool/mail/virtual/postmaster/, quota=<null>, options=<null>

Jun 17 16:59:58 mail postfix/pipe[4850]: 67EAD50165: to
<pos...@my...>, relay=maildrop, delay=1088, delays=1088/0/0.06,
dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output:
/usr/bin/maildrop: Unable to create a dot-lock at
/var/spool/mail/virtual/postmaster/4751.0.mail. )

Does anyone know why I am always getting this error. At the moment I am not
trying to put any rules I just want to get a set-up which allows all emails
to be passed and then I will try to improve on that one.

Regards,
Sim085
