similar to: how to run dovecot imap on separate server from postfix?

Hello Reindl, thank you for the response. I want to make sure that the postfix delivery does not give up trying to get the email delivered when the lmtp host is not reachable. I do not just want to assume that the default settings are correct for us. Are there postfix or other settings which can be checked and adjusted?

I'm trying to figure out the exact line to put to /etc/postfix/main.cf for local lmtp deliver we use: mailbox_transport = *lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp* for remote it is supposed to be:* lmtp:host:port* yet at the remote lmtp does not use ports. UNIX domain sockets are used instead: netstat --listening --programs| grep lmtp unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 8457

OK I got delivery from postfix to lmtp working , by changing from unix_listener to inet_listener . Reindl wrote "don't open the port for any other machine as the postfix server" I see that is important.. I assume that just a firewall setting? Or does the 'address' line in inet_listener lmtp have something to do with it? On Wed, Feb 18, 2015 at 12:37 PM,

I have 2 hosts: (a) - dovecot-1.0.5-6 - postfix-2.4.5-20 -> It's not the mx record for the domain, just holds the mailboxes -> Postfix uses LDAP for user lookup, dovecot too. -> Works ok if I set it to be the final mail destination, with Cyrus and Dovecot LDA (mailbox_transport). -> Has no domain associated (dns) with this ip address (b) - postfix-2.3.2-28 -> Has the mx record

I'm running postfix + dovecot on my CentOS-7 home server. When I send myself a message I get this error message in /var/log/maillog: Aug 9 12:59:57 alfred postfix/lmtp[31336]: B0D02220748: to=<tim at localhost.gayleard.eu>, orig_to=<tim at localhost>, relay=alfred.gayleard.eu[private/dovecot-lmtp], delay=475, delays=474/0.03/0.02/0.09, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred

Hi all after lots of trial and error and the help of THIS mail list, finally my dovecot-postfix combination seems to work yet the dovecot mail spool always is empty all mail forwarded to my main mail server - but i have no mail relay configured. why is the mail NOT in the dovecot inbox but forwarded to another mail server ?? and why does postconf -A show cyrus and NOT dovecot ?? below some

I really want to try and get this plus addressing working correctly with Dovecot and Postfix. After doing some reading I think I am going to change my Postfix setup from mailbox_command to mailbox_transport. I have a few questions to make sure I am thinking correctly. All of my users are system users. Their mail is delivered directly to their "/home/<user>/Maildir"

Just a comment about the documentation for postfix integration when using receipient delimiter and delivery of user+foo at domain.ext to user at domain: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix I had some issues to get this working, so thought I'd share my experience. Dovecot version 1.2.rc3. Postfix version postfix-2.7-20090511. I have no local (unix) mailboxes, everything is delivered to

I am setting up a new system that will be using Dovecot with Postifx. I am planning on using LMTP. I read the wiki and and found the settings I need to make in Dovecot and the Postfix main.cf file. However, I saw nothing about the Postfix master.cf file. Do I need to make and changes to it also? Thanks -- Jerry

Hi to all, I have tryed a few days to configure postfix/dovecot to run into a VPS machine (CentOs) -->The machine has 2 domains (but more in the future) -->i want info at mail.domain1.com and info at mail.domain2.com to be seperated mailboxes -->i want to use lmtp protocol to connect dovecot with postfix -->It will be perfect if i can use the system users for authentication

Hi, is there a *simple* HOWTO that explains a simple postfix+dovecot setup? Up to now, I used postfix+cyrus, worked fine. But I do not get postfix+dovecot to work. Currently, all emails go to /dev/null. What really would help me is a dovecot lmtp server. Is there any? Regards Olaf postfix main.cf: # -- delivery options # local_recipient_maps = virtual_alias_maps =

Hello, We run imap for our domain at our lan. I'd like to set up a backup mirror that has imap storage always duplicated. Then using something like heartbeat to share the imapd IP address . Could someone point me to documents , if any , that give ideas on how to set up the mirror? best regards, Rob

Hi All, I'm new to dovecot (coming from cyrus) and have a bit of a problem setting up postfix + dspam + dovecot. 1. postfix + dovecot: works like a charm. Using "mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver" in postfix main.cf 2. adding dspam to the equation: unable to deliver: net_connect(/usr/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: No such file or directory Using

Hi there, I'm using Dovecot together with Postfix; as I understand it, there are two ways to transfer the mail from Postfix to Dovecot. 1.) by using LDA with mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT" 2.) by using LMTP with mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp (currently using number 1) I'm interessted in the
