[Meatwad]

hi there,

got a problem with postfix. i don't recieve or send any mails.

Quote:Apr 20 02:16:28 thor postfix/postfix-script: fatal: usage: postfix start (or stop, reload, abort, flush, check, set-permissions, upgrade-configuration)
Apr 20 02:16:45 thor postfix/master[2077]: fatal: fifo_listen: remove public/pickup: Permission denied

what's the problem?

thanks,

The problem is in your system...

maybe you need to tell more details.

The 3 lines are very helpfull - have a look at the 2nd line and try to find out what's the permission problem. Maybe it's a non-chroot/chroot problem but this should give no problem with debian...

hi,

sorry, i forgot: ispcp 1.0 RC4 on a debian etch vserver.
i'm not sure where the permissionproblem could be because of the "fifo_listen". whats that?

[joximu]

find the folder public - there's a special file pickup...

on my debian its /var/spool/postfix/public:

Code:

ls -la /var/spool/postfix/public/
drwx--s---  2 postfix postdrop 4096 2008-04-14 01:12 .
drwxr-xr-x 19 root    root     4096 2008-01-02 03:32 ..
srw-rw-rw-  1 postfix postdrop    0 2008-04-14 01:12 cleanup
srw-rw-rw-  1 postfix postdrop    0 2008-04-14 01:12 flush
prw--w--w-  1 postfix postdrop    0 2008-04-20 16:17 pickup
prw--w--w-  1 postfix postdrop    0 2008-04-20 16:17 qmgr
srw-rw-rw-  1 postfix postdrop    0 2008-04-14 01:12 showq
