Currently I'm trying to accomplish postfix+courier virtual hostin with authuserdb. I have tried the authmysql route and I'm giving up on that for now.

I still keep the information in mysql but I create /etc/userdb with a perl script, run makeuserdb and then authdaemon restart. The virtual user/domain info is also kept in mysql and written out to vmailbox and hashed via perl script. Anyhow, my problem ...

Incoming mail leaves this in my maillog.

Jan 25 05:26:34 freebeer postfix/virtual[40179]: 45D28137DB: to=<user...@example.com>, relay=virtual, delay=2836, status=deferred (maildir delivery failed: create ///example.com/userfoo/tmp/1011954394.40179_0.freebeer.example.com: Permission denied)

I don't know how to get rid of the 2 extra /'s at the front of the path.

authtest -s authdaemon with a correct username and password, fails with: chdir: Permission denied

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm really not sure what /etc/postfix/vmailbox should look like The user that generated the above erros has the full path set like:

fo...@example.net /home/mailboxes/example.net/foo1/

some of my config files (comments removed) are included below...

Anyone have any ideas?
