[Postfixadmin-devel] Create folder when adding new domain

[Matt R. <li...@ma...>]

Hello,
I am using PostfixAdmin (SVN#311 trunk), and today I added my first new 
domain to my setup using PostfixAdmin.  The adding of the domain went 
fine but when I tried to add the first mailbox Postfixadmin told me that 
the email address was invalided. knowing that the address was fine I 
started looking around.  My folder structure is such that each domain is 
located in it's own folder, ie.

/var/spool/mail/example1.com/
/var/spool/mail/example2.com/
/var/spool/mail/example3.com/

But PostfixAdmin did not create a folder for the new domain during the 
"Add Domain" process or when I tried to add the mailbox.  Once i created 
the folder PostfixAdmin was happy and added all the mailboxes with no 
problems and they are now receiving email.

Is there a flag I need to flip somewhere or should I be looking at postfix?

Thanks
-Matt

I suspect the problem would be that Postfixadmin wouldn't/couldn't have
permission on it's own to create the domain folder (just like it
can't/doesn't create mailboxes)

Is there a script to run via sudo or anything to accomplish creation of
the domain folder?

I was hoping that I could use something like the
"postfix-domain-postdelete" script but I can't figure out how to add that
to PA.

Is there someplace to put a script that would add the folders for me as Im
creating the domain?

This might also happen if the nameserver can't resolve the domain. 
Unfortunately we miss a better error message in this case.

You can disable this lookup by setting
    $CONF['emailcheck_resolve_domain']='NO';
in config.inc.php

If you use postfix (without maildrop etc.) to deliver the mail to the 
mailbox, postfix should create all needed directories. If it doesn't, 
check if it has write permissions and/or complains in the logfile.

If you use maildrop, you'll need some lines in maildroprc to create the 
directories. (Available on request.)

You can use $CONF['mailbox_postcreation_script']. Yes, it runs too often 
(on every mailbox creation instead of domain creation), but this 
shouldn't be a problem. ADDITIONS/postfixadmin-mailbox-postcreation.sh 
is an example script.
