Topic: Mail saved to server, but users don't get mail

==== Provide required information to help troubleshoot and get quick answer ====
- Linux/BSD distribution name and version: CentOS release 5.7 (Final)
- iRedMail version and backend (LDAP/MySQL): v1.3.0 (MySQL)
- Any related log? Log is helpful for troubleshooting.

Feb 28 10:33:45 email amavis[3112]: (03112-05) Passed CLEAN, LOCAL [96.47.30.240] [96.47.30.240] <FD9I5H6-ZYT8-XT71T-6VCSMZ-QCXIY-H-M2-20120228-a85d7e14c65582bbaa@partylite.bounce.ed10.net> -> <####-@-####.com>, Message-ID: <950-210-FD9I5H6-ZYT8-XT71T-6VCSMZ-QCXIY-H-M2-20120228-a85d7e14c65582bbaa@e-dialog.com>, mail_id: ljyCz9-Zyhi6, Hits: -7.648, size: 18343, queued_as: A39CF86994F, dkim_id=####@emails.####.com, 8689 ms

====

I watch "tail -f /var/log/maillog" and see what looks to me like "normal" activity. Some are rejected, some are CLEAN.

Problem is that the DASHBOARD shows the server is getting emails, but I can't download them to my computer. I don't get any errors, it just acts like I don't have any email, but I can go to the DASHBOARD, click on my email address (as one of the top ten) and see dates, times and subjects of emails that I should be getting.

What process needs to be restarted or ??

Thanks,

~ bTal

Re: Mail saved to server, but users don't get mail

Seems you have different maildir path in MySQL and Dovecot config file.

Could you please paste below info to help troubleshoot:

*) File: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf (REMOVE/HIDE password before posting)
*) mail_location setting in file /etc/dovecot.conf
*) Export SQL data of this mail user with phpMyAdmin or MySQL command line. For example:

mysql> SELECT * FROM mailbox WHERE username='user@domain.ltd';

Please replace 'user@domain.ltd' by the real email address.

Re: Mail saved to server, but users don't get mail

It worked for months with no issues, I was looking for a locked file or a process that was stalled.

But you know best, so I'll check out what you asked for.

Thanks, I'll reply again soon.

Re: Mail saved to server, but users don't get mail

I can't read email with dovecot or with POP3.

POP3 is more important to me and here is the info you asked for...


**** I don't have a file: /etc/dovecot-ldap.conf

**** mail_location setting in file /etc/dovecot.conf
mail_location = maildir:/%Lh/Maildir/:INDEX=/%Lh/Maildir/

**** Export SQL data of this mail user with phpMyAdmin or MySQL command line.

Database used was vmail

mysql> SELECT * FROM mailbox WHERE username='www@thatsite.com';

My mistake, please paste /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf.

Also, it's a good idea to turn on debug mode in Dovecot to check details. You can set 'mail_debug = yes' in /etc/dovecot.conf, then restart Dovecot service, monitor its log files:

- /var/log/dovecot.log
- /var/log/sieve.log

Re: Mail saved to server, but users don't get mail

If I can get POP3 working, I would be very happy. Dovecot is used 2% of the time. POP3 98%

more /etc/dovecot-mysql.conf
driver = mysql
default_pass_scheme = CRYPT
connect = host=127.0.0.1 dbname=vmail user=vmail password=xxxxxxxxxxxxx
password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username='%u' AND active='1'
user_query = SELECT CONCAT(mailbox.storagebasedirectory, '/', mailbox.storagenode, '/', mailbox.maildir) AS home, CONCAT('*:bytes=', mailbox.quota*1048576) A
S quota_rule FROM mailbox,domain WHERE mailbox.username='%u' AND mailbox.domain='%d' AND mailbox.enable%Ls%Lc=1 AND mailbox.domain=domain.domain AND domain.b
ackupmx=0 AND domain.active=1 AND mailbox.active=1

Thanks,

Re: Mail saved to server, but users don't get mail

I did more searching.

It seems all the incoming (outgoing works fine) emails are stuck in the queue.

postqueue -p

seems to show the emails I'm looking for (they are all from the last two days).

What controls the queue and how do I reset/restart it?

Thanks,

~ bTal

Re: Mail saved to server, but users don't get mail

I tried to resend the queue and got tons of this same error...

Re: Mail saved to server, but users don't get mail

I redefined my search and found another post in these forums (status=deferred (temporary failure)) with what sounds like the exact same problem. Sadly, there was never a solution.

Hope this helps.

There's something wrong with Dovecot, please check its log file immediately. Log files are /var/log/dovecot.log and /var/log/sieve.log.
