Hi all,
I have set up an Ubuntu 7:10 server here at work. It will primarily be a mail server.
I am using Postfix and Cyrus.
My problem is that when I fetchmail from my pop account on the internet, the mail is collected and delivered locally (i.e. running 'mail' as the user lists the messages), but when I try to access them via either pop or imap the server responds telling me there is no mail in the mailbox.
Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Andy

Can you paste the output of the following commnad ?
First attempt to download the mail from your pop, then run the following command.
tail /var/log/mail.log
May be we can get some help.
Cheers

Apr 29 16:55:12 mail cyrus/pop3[27783]: login: [172.16.48.101] andrew plaintext User logged in
This is what I get from mail.log after a pop connection. If I run 'mail -f /var/spool/mail/andrew' I get a list of some 30 odd messages in my mailbox.
I see it is complaining about '/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp' not existing, but it does. It is owned by root.root. Is this likely to be the problem?
Thanks.

I still have no idea why local mail is delivered but cannot be retrieved via pop or imap. This blows my mind. I can't even think of anything to try.
Any suggestion or ideas would be very appreciated.
Thanks

Problem solved. At least sort of.
I set everything in master.cf to not chroot and now everything is working.
Is this a security risk or is it relatively safe? The machine is not currently connected directly to the internet but may be later on.
Regards
Andy
