Topic: temporary failure of emails delivered to system user www-data

Hi Zhang,

I've got a fresh installed 0.7.4 stable on Ubuntu 11.10 64bit, everything looks ok except when i oprn the mail.log and sieve.log, there are always some error log doesn't looks right

/var/log/mail.log
.........
Apr 25 23:54:44 mail postfix/qmgr[1420]: DAB0C1064DF8: from=<www-data@mydomain.com>, size=1187, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

/var/log/sieve.log

I've go through all the topic here and found some fix for older version like
usermod -G adm www-data
which dosen't make any different.

Could you please have a look inside this issue? Thanks very much.

Re: temporary failure of emails delivered to system user www-data

It's caused by Awstats cron job.

Please try one of below steps to fix it:

*) Add an alias for system user 'www-data' in /etc/postfix/aliases.
*) Disable Awstats cron job in /etc/cron*. iRedMail setups two cron jobs via command 'crontab', so the job under /etc/cron* is not necessary at all.

P.S. Please create new topic for new issue/question instead of replying in others' topic. smile

Hi Zhang

Thanks very much for your quick reply, but the problem is not solved.
I've tried both methods.
1. add an entry in /etc/postfix/aliases
www-data: root

2. remove awstats from /etc/cron.d/  (Ubuntu 11.10 64bit)

the error still showing in both log files.

Did you execute command 'newaliases' to update it?

Was there any NEW email generated?
