[Dovecot] warning: connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory
I have installed postfix, dovecot, mysql as per: http://wiki.dovecot.org/HowTo/DovecotLDAPostfixAdminMySQL ..on Debian Etch. I thought mailboxes were created by postfixadmin or postfix but I only get an error: warning: connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory ..in the postfix log. No /var/vmail/example.com is created. After creating the domain directory and user directory, applying correct ownership, still it made no difference. I checked my main.cf: virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail Any clues? Thanks! David Koski david at kosmosisland.com

I checked my main.cf: > > virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail >"Connect to transport dovecot: No such file or directory:" Check postfix's master.cf - search for line (transport definition) "dovecot" - correct path to dovecot's deliver binaries. virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail This setting applies only to postfix virtual transport; as you are useing dovecot's deliver - this setting is not used. Path to users mailboxes must be defined in dovecot users db. (in your case - MySQL database) any settings in postfix configuration are ignored.> Any clues? > > Thanks! > David Koski > david at kosmosisland.com >Uldis
