To be able to store the received e-mail in the correct mailbox for your users you have to setup a location that you will use on your servers harddisk. A very common location is /usr/local/virtual
, but you can put it anywhere you want. Keep in mind that if you use a different location that you need to change several configuration files (I’ll try to put remarks on this at the proper locations)
If you are installing for the first time the directory isn’t there yet. You need to create it and setup the correct permissions. So login to the terminal session of your server and become root and create the directory:
mkdir /usr/local/virtual
Change the owner and group of the directory
chown -R postfix:postfix /usr/local/virtual
and setup the correct permissions
chmod 771 /usr/local/virtual
