Hello folks I'm trying to use Dovecot deliver LDA instead Postfix virtual LDA The last road block I have to resolve is to define mail_uid, becaus dovecot.err log has these error messages: May 04 14:57:19 deliver(user1 at some_domain.com): Error: User user1 at some_domain.com is missing UID (set mail_uid) May 04 14:57:19 deliver(user2 at some_domain.com): Error: User user2 at some_domain.com is missing UID (set mail_uid) May 04 14:57...

If the following has already been discussed, please simply reply with a URL to the corresponding thread or doc ;-) Now that I have covered my ass, here is the problem I meet. In dovecot.conf, I have the following: mail_uid = vmail mail_guid = vmail which is confirmed with 'dovecot -n' I have a script my-expire-tool-test containing: #!/bin/sh set which basically only display environment variables. When I run : /usr/sbin/dovecot --exec-mail ext my-expire-tool-test I do not see any variable MAIL_UID no...

I am adjusting the recommended ldap configuration to match active directory instead of the standard posixaccount layout. The problem is that doveadm seems to ignore mail_uid and mail_gid along with (possibly) mail_location. This is a setup with all virtual users (all ldap, not system accounts). Everything works in postfix and standard dovecot operation, it is only doveadm which doesn't work. Ldap queries return everything but these entries (as they do not exist i...

Hello folks, I was trying to set up Dovecot deliver LDA instead of Postfix default virtual LDA In Postfix main.cf I specified: virtual_transport = dovecot dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 In Postfix master.cf I entered: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe user=mailer flags=DRhu argv=/usr/local/mail/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient} In

Hello, I'm trying to understand what's the difference between those parameters. In my dovecot.conf in the global section I have a definition of mail_uid and mail_gid. In my LDAP configuration used by passdb and userdb, I have a definition for user_attrs= uidNumber=500,gidNumber=8. Here is a part of my configuration files (dovecot version: 2.1.7) dovecot.conf mail_gid = 8 mail_uid = 500 passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf driver...

...postfix and dovecot for my mail servers with a mysql backend for the last 2 years I have tried to set up an installation with a ldap backend.

I am using Maildir and virtual domains. I have the following definitions in the dovecot.conf: mail_uid = 10000 mail_gid = 10000 mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/apps/%d/%n/Maildir ...

If the user in LDAP does not have a uid/gid attribute, it'll fall back to us...
