Problem with CentOS e-mail configuration

Hi all,

I am programming a new webhosting control panel for CentOS 5.x and I am having one problem (it's the last problem, all the rest is working fine).

I don't know how to configure my Mail Delivery Agent (procmail), so that a mail send to info@example.com is saved in /home/example.com/mail and a mail send to info@newexample.com is saved in /home/newexample.com/mail.

At the moment I am using a second server with Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.1 with a similar configuration and on this server procmail is working fine.

How can I find the config-files of procmail there?

Are this procmails configs in a specific place or are they registered somewhere?

It would be great if someone could help me.
HTTP, FTP, POP, SMTP, sendmail, vsftp, bind, sendmail works fine. It's the last problem I have to solve.

If I send an email to a address on the new server, I receive a delivery failed notification:
--------------
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

hallo@sw-cluster.com
SMTP error from remote mail server after RCPT TO:<hallo@sw-cluster.com>:
host mail.sw-cluster.com [87.118.82.66]: 554 5.7.1 <hallo@sw-cluster.com>:
Relay access denied
--------------

This is what the maillog write after receiving an email:
-----------------------
Aug 19 18:37:47 server01 postfix/smtpd[11399]: connect from wp232.webpack.hosteurope.de[80.237.132.239]
Aug 19 18:37:47 server01 postfix/smtpd[11399]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from wp232.webpack.hosteurope.de[80.237.132.239]: 554 5.7.1 <hallo@sw-cluster.com>: Relay access denied; from=<support@sourceweb.eu> to=<hallo@sw-cluster.com> proto=ESMTP helo=<wp232.webpack.hosteurope.de>
Aug 19 18:37:47 server01 postfix/smtpd[11399]: disconnect from wp232.webpack.hosteurope.de[80.237.132.239]
-----------------------

I have searched hundreds of files, but I couldn't find the file where the email-addresses are configured.

Regards,

Peter

The virtual_mailbox_maps is a mapping to the Maildir folder

virtual_transport = virtual
virtual_mailbox_domains = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-virtual-domains.cf
virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail
virtual_mailbox_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-mailbox.cf
virtual_mailbox_limit_maps = proxy:mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-mailbox-quota.cf
virtual_uid_maps = static:101
virtual_gid_maps = static:90
mailbox_command = /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION" DEFAULT=$HOME/Maildir/ MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir

eg
info@newexample.com would be save in

/home/vmail/newexample.com/info/Maildir

if the mysql returns "newexample.com/info" for the mapping.

First I would like to thank you for the answers.

lol, I am a little bit confused.

I have installed sendmail, not postfix.
I have configured sendmail, not postfix.
I am using sendmail, not postfix.

and now I saw that in the logs is written something about postfix.
I need to use sendmail, because I need some functions of this MTA.

Is there any way to change them?
I think this should solve my problem, because sendmail is configured and postfix not.

Maybe I will use Postfix in the future.

David Beveridge

Why did you post your question into the postfix Zone?

David Beveridge

What function in sendmail do you need that cannot be done in postfix?

I used your code-snippet in the postfix main.cf and the error is away, but I don't receive the mail, because the rest of the server is configured for sendmail and nobody looks in this maildir.

I need sendmail, because my control panel now is in the 3rd version and uses a "configuration-bot" of the second-version of my control panel and this bot only writes configuration files for sendmail.

Maybe I can change it fast.

Where can I find my emails now?

My maillog now says this:

What's going wrong?

Looks like your postfix is NOT compiled with mysql support
