Hi,
we use dovecot 1.1.11 on a RH Server with sendmail. Local delivery is
done with deliver:
Mlocal, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver,
F=lsDFMAw5:/|@qSPfhn9, S=EnvFromL/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL/HdrToL,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=deliver -d $u
This setup works without issues for us, but mail to root has a problem
with deliver:
deliver(root): Mar 04 16:31:31 Error: userdb(root) returned 0 as uid
deliver(root): Mar 04 16:31:31 Error: userdb(root) returned 0 as gid
deliver(root): Mar 04 16:31:31 Error: User root is missing UID (set
mail_uid)
Is it generally not possible to use deliver to deliver mail to root?
Thanks
Philipp
