[Stephen Liu]

Hi Jens,


Thanks for your advice.

$ cat /etc/postfix/master.cf | grep smtp
smtp      inet  n       -       -       -       -       smtpd

smtp      unix  -       -       -       -       -       smtp
relay     unix  -       -       -       -       -       smtp
#       -o smtp_helo_timeout=5 -o smtp_connect_timeout=5
bsmtp     unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=Fq. user=bsmtp argv=/usr/lib/bsmtp/bsmtp -t$nexthop -f$sender
$recipient
* end *

There are only 2 lines there with smtp in the beginning.

$ sudo nano /etc/cyrus.conf

change both lines.

changing;
lmtpunix        cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp"
prefork=0 maxchild=20

as;
lmtpunix        cmd="lmtpd"
listen="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp" prefork=0
maxchild=20


changing;
notify          cmd="notifyd" listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/notify"
proto="udp" prefork=1

as;
notify          cmd="notifyd"
listen="/var/spool/postfix/var/run/cyrus/socket/notify" proto="udp"
prefork=1


Still can't receive mails.
