Hi,
I have the Dovecot (2.2.27-3+deb9u2) with LMTP and Postfix. Static userdb:
userdb {
driver = static
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/data/vmail/user/%n allow_all_users=yes
}
and passdb by LDAP, only to verify IMAP user password by bind.
Problem is, when someone sends email to non-existent at mydomain.tld,
Dovecot automatically creates its home directory and Maildir.
Is there any way how deliver only when /data/vmail/user/%n directory
already exists, and reject otherwise?
When I remove allow_all_users=yes, LMTP stops to deliver at all with 550
code. I probably understand why, but I cannot figure how to solve it. I
cannot use LDAP to user lookup.

Is there some reason why you cannot use LDAP as userdb? Those uid / gid / home parameters can be also provided as global settings like mail_uid=vmail mail_gid=vmail mail_home=/data/vmail/user/%n Aki On 29.08.2018 23:12, Miloslav H?la wrote:> Hi, > > I have the Dovecot (2.2.27-3+deb9u2) with LMTP and Postfix.

One day, I'll use the LDAP. But infrastructure I got is quite neglected and some older admins is hard to convince to innovate. Just, aaaaah :) I read whole documentation related to userdb a and passdb. Easy to understand with relation to IMAP or POP3 access. But what I didn't understand is relation to LMTP. Which one is used and when for successful delivery. I'll try to move those settings as global.
