📝 Preliminary Checks

  • I tried searching for an existing issue and followed the debugging docs advice, but still need assistance.

👀 What Happened?

I set ENABLE_GETMAIL to 1 in my config file and create a getmail-example.cf file in my dms/config/ folder. Getmail is not enabled and instead I recieve the following error to the postmaster address:

Error: Specified config/data dir "/var/lib/getmail" does not exist - create or specify alternate directory with --getmaildir option

If I examine the file structure I can indeed see that the /var/lib/getmail symlink links to /var/mail-state/lib-getmail which does not exist.

👟 Reproduction Steps

I tried recreating this with a fresh local instance. First I ran the commands to get the compose file and env file.

DMS_GITHUB_URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/docker-mailserver/docker-mailserver/master"
wget "${DMS_GITHUB_URL}/compose.yaml"
wget "${DMS_GITHUB_URL}/mailserver.env"

I ran the container and I created a user and and alias:

docker compose up -d
docker exec -ti mailserver setup email add [email protected]
docker exec -ti mailserver setup alias add [email protected] [email protected]

I then edited the mailserver.env file to set

LOG_LEVEL=debug
ENABLE_GETMAIL=1

I ran recreate the container with:

docker-compose down
docker-compose up

I can now see in /var/mail/example.com/user/new/ the error emails related to the getmail folder not existing.
