dovecot - Feb 2009 - Sendmail + Deliver as an LDA probs

Hi,

I'm having trouble setting up sendmail to be able to use dovecot deliver
as an LDA... I don't want to be able to deliver mail locally, everything
should go via deliver (virtual user setup)... And i'm confused about all
the procmail/lda entry's in different sendmail config files...

When using $# deliver -u testuser < testmail  <-- he delivers my mail in
the correct mailbox as stated in my dovecot passdb file homedir. 
So deliver is working fine !

----
I used the dovecot.m4 from wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/sendmail

sendmail.mc fragment (only lines affecting Local delivery) :
DOMAIN(`blaat')dnl
MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOL', `-S')dnl
FEATURE(`local_procmail')dnl
define(`LOL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/procmail')dnl
define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/procmail')dnl
dnl MAILER(`local')dnl
MAILER(`smtp')dnl
MAILER(`procmail')dnl
MAILER(`dovecot')dnl
dnl                          

------

blaat.m4 fragment :
define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/procmail')
define(`PROCMAIL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/bin/procmail')

------

more /usr/local/src/sendmail-x.x/cf/mailer/dovecot.m4 :

When I run #$ sendmail -bv test at testdomain.com   sendmail gives :

test at testdomain.com... deliverable: mailer local, user test         (as
a matter of fact the user test does exist on my machine, so what he does
is stripping of the domainname and he delivers the mail
in /var/spool/mqueue/test :-/  )
And I don't see anything in my deliver logfile of course...

Help would be appreciated !

thx
Ben

In my eyes, there are two problems here:

1) This line should read

blaatuser: "| /opt..."

2) you cannot use $u in aliases

Also, delivering in Aliases means that sendmail is using a non-root / 
non-virtuser-uid UID. So you probably have to SetUID-root deliver, in 
order to give deliver a) permission to the auth socket and b) permission 
to spool the message into the mailbox.

===
Actually you never told sendmail to use the dovecot: mailer you've 
configured.

Remove both the virtuser and alias entry, so sendmail even tries to hit 
mailertable you have configuered the dovecot: mailer in.

Also, remove the domain from local-host-names and place it into 
relay-domains.

Check the requireness of SetUID-root of deliver. (s. above)

Bye,
