Trouble installing Postfix on Ubuntu 16.04 droplet server
Hey everyone. I was using `this tutorial on how to install Postfix on an Ubuntu 16.04 server. Everything in the guide was going fine until step 7, when I realized that Maildir did not install properly.
When I try the command “ls -R ~/Maildir” i get an error reading “/home/aaron/Maildir: No such file or directory”
I followed all the steps while logged in as user aaron, and the guide says the following command is supposed to add the Maildir directory for the user:
“sudo postconf -e ‘home_mailbox= Maildir/’”
Is it possible the necessary command might have changed?
Any other ideas on why this might be?
thanks
Did you use the
echo 'init' | mail -s 'init' -Snorecord aaron
command before? And what happend? Any errors?yes i did, I tried that before and got the following output:
“Can’t canonicalize ”/home/aaron/Maildir"“
