Hello list,
a quick question: can I use Dovecot's LDA "deliver" as a
destination in
Getmail? I.e.:
[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
arguments = ("-d", "username",)
Or is deliver not supposed to be called this way?
What I'd like to do is use deliver in the same way I would have used
procmail
ages ago. Getmail retrieves the mail messages, filters them according to the
filter sections set up and then puts them in the final destination as noted
above.
Of course I would like to have deliver honour my .dovecot.sieve sieve script.
My first tries have not been very successful, all messages retrieved in this
way are put in the top level INBOX, not being sieved.
I also got this error message, but I am not sure how it is related:
Jan 14 16:08:04 localhost deliver(username):
net_connect(/usr/local/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Permission denied
Does my user need any special permissions to use the LDA?
TIA!
Andreas
P.S.: Using Dovecot 1.0.5 with the Sieve plugin. I can post the output of
dovecot -n but I don't think it's necessary?

This is part of my getmailrc
[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
user = ebal
group = mail
arguments = ( '-d', 'ebal' )
i use getmail + dovecot + sieve + spamassassin [filter getmail]
at all of my accounts.

I.e.: > > [destination] > type = MDA_external > path = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver > arguments = ("-d", "username",)Hello list, as a followup, (with an additional question which I probably should post as a separate message) I think I have found the solution. But to clarify: I am /not/ using a virtual user/virtual domain setup, all users have shell accounts and home directories. The server only hosts two domains (set in $mydestination in Postfix) and I use Dovecot with a simple "userdb passwd" setup, as seen in dovecot -n at the end. Postfix uses Dovecot's LDA deliver to deliver incoming messages for the two hosted domains, as described in [1], via mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver This seems to be the same as unsetting mailbox_command and instead creating a ~/.forward file in each home directory, with the contents | "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver" so deliver gets called by the user itself (thus no permission problems). Either method seems to work, producing the same results. To have Getmail use Dovecot's deliver I simply had to set the [destination] section in the rc-file to: [destination] type = MDA_external path = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver which seems to do the trick. No arguments required. Mail fetched by Getmail gets handed to deliver which then puts it in the users inbox. I just had to rewrite some of my ~/.dovecot.sieve, but that's specific to my setup/site. So thanks for all the input and help in this and the other [2] thread! Really appreciated!
