    First I’d like to say that I’m not the only one experiencing this problem …
    http://discussions.info.apple.com/[email protected]@.599cc983

    My mail server is a netinfo child running 10.3.2 with all the updates. After installing updates on 12.30 mail stopped being delivered to my local mail store. It is being recieved by the server and queued, just not being dropped into the local store (/Volumes/data/mailstore). I am not having issues with IMAP or authentication, just SMTP. All mail that was received before I applied the updates is safely stored in each user’s account.

    In Server Admin under Mail – Logs – SMTP, I receive the following error over and over again. (obviously the PID changes every time)

    Jan 2 21:07:29 localhost postfix/master[317]: warning: /usr/libexec/postfix/pipe: bad command startup — throttling

    Here are the updates I applied on the 30th

    Thanks for the reply, I forgot I posted here (and here’s probably my best bet!)

    Here’s my main.cf and master.cf
    http://homepage.mac.com/peet1/postfix/main.cf
    http://homepage.mac.com/peet1/postfix/master.cf

    for good measure here are my imapd.conf and cyrus.conf
    http://homepage.mac.com/peet1/cyrus/imapd.conf
    http://homepage.mac.com/peet1/cyrus/cyrus.conf

    and here’s the chunk you asked for…

    –start CHUNK
    maildrop unix – n n – – pipe
    flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/local/bin/maildrop -d ${recipient}
    #
    # The Cyrus deliver program has changed incompatibly, multiple times.
    #
    old-cyrus unix – n n – – pipe
    flags=R user=cyrus argv=/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -m ${extension} ${user}
    # Cyrus 2.1.5 (Amos Gouaux)
    cyrus unix – n n – 10 pipe
    user=cyrus argv=/usr/bin/cyrus/bin/deliver -e -r ${sender} -m ${extension} ${user}
    uucp unix – n n – – pipe
    flags=Fqhu user=uucp argv=uux -r -n -z -a$sender – $nexthop!rmail ($recipient)
    ifmail unix – n n – – pipe
    flags=F user=ftn argv=/usr/lib/ifmail/ifmail -r $nexthop ($recipient)
    bsmtp unix – n n – – pipe
    flags=Fq. user=foo argv=/usr/local/sbin/bsmtp -f $sender $nexthop $recipient
    –end CHUNK

    I’ve manually checked and rechecked these configs against working servers but if you can figure it out I’d be super excited.

    As an FYI, my mailstore is located /volumes/data/mailstore

    Thanks for the quick reply. I hope you’re still watching.

    one other tidbit. When i make new mail-enabled users in netinfo/root they get accounts, but do NOT show up in ServerAdmin – Mail – Accounts. NORE do any changes I make about mailstore locations or quotas on existing users.

    thanks again

    The Cyrus mailbox does exist. I can see it in my mailstore and I’ve manually moved messages into the inbox via Apple’s Mail. Maybe an smtp pipe from postfix also has to occur, but that wouldn’t explain why I can’t change existing quotas.

    thanks for any and all help.

    peet.

    Okay. I fixed it in a bit of a ditry way, but it worked for my situation.

    Here’s what I did.

    1. Use Apple’s Mail to IMAP into all users email and archive it to local mailboxes. (Major Pain, but I only had 7 users to deal with)

    2. Build an ENTIRELY new 10.3 server and update it.

    3. Made it a Open Directory Replica (Required for my setup, and probably completely secondary)

    4. Ditto the /var/spool/postfix directory to the new server (Target Disk Mode is my friend)

    5. run ‘postfix check’ as root.

    6. start up mail server and BAM! You’ve got all yor mail from your queue.

    7. Use Apple’s Mail to upload archived mail to user accounts.

    Oh and it only took me until 2 a.m. to gett ssl moved to the new server … same dns, same ip. I think apple’s server admin tools are broken for this.

    I ended up copying the cert and key from the old server anr renaming them for the new site.
