similar to: Please help me resolve why mail isn't being delivered to virtual users

Hi, Very new to dovecot and to using POP3/IMAP (from this perspective anyway). First things first, per the instructions from the web site: dovecot version: 1.0.5 dovecot config: # 1.0.5: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap pop3 ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login

Hi, Ok, here's my setup, each virtual user has a home directory as follows: /virtusers/<v_userid> and per the INBOX directive in the dovecot.conf file I also have a file as follows: /var/mail/<v_userid> Now, I've followed the directions as outlined here: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail But every time I send mail to one of my virtual users, I get this message The

I thought I had Dovecot configured to use Maildir instead of mbox, but apparently it is still using mbox. Excerpt from dovecot.conf: mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir Excerpt from sendmail.mc: MAILER(dovecot)dnl dovecot.m4: ######################################## ### DOVECOT Mailer Specification ### ######################################## Mdovecot,

I'm a little confused about some of these terms. What is: .imap/.imap/ (other than directories) mbox INBOX (I think I have this one) maildir ??????? I'm not sure how all of these things work together. Thanks, Andy

I had a working container with dovecot configured as proxy. And all of a sudden I am getting these messages 'dovecot: auth: Error: DNS lookup for roosit03 failed: Name does not resolve' Pinging/nslookup these hostnames is ok

Would it be sensible/"cost effective" to make dovecot-deliver generated X-Delivered-To header(s) based on command line parameter(s)? [after striping such existing headers, before consulting sieve] I need it to: a) *clearly* mark POP/IMAP account fetched by fetchmail [with fetchmail using directly dovecot-deliver in --mda option] b) cleanly implement "shared mailboxes" with

Package: logcheck Version: 1.2.20a Severity: important Since logcheck changed to run as user logcheck, the error mails of the cron daemon end up in /var/mail/logcheck where nobody reads them. Mails for logcheck should be aliased to root like all the other mails of system accounts. I was searching for a long time what was wrong with my logcheck not delivering any mails. The lock directory was

On RHEL5, dovecot 1.0.7, I have set up sendmail to use `deliver` for my local mda. It keeps giving me this error for the root user though: Jul 12 12:51:29 mail sendmail[4105]: o699225f001348: to=<root at localhost.localdomain>, ctladdr=<root at localhost.localdomain> (0/0), delay=3+08:49:26, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=7502879, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: local mailer

CentOS-4.8 cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-10 sendmail-8.13.1-3.3 I have a mail hub which uses cyrus-imap with sendmail It has worked well for us on this and prior hosts going back to 1995. And, I do not have a problem with the current setup. What I would like to do however, is to deliver plus-formatted e-mail addresses directly to users subfolders in their mailbox tree. Such addresses take the form

Hi there, I changed postfix to pass email to spamassassin, and then deliver to dovecot LDA. It fails to deliver. The current entry in master.cf now reads: dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} smtp inet n - - - - smtpd -o content_filter=spamassassin

When I upgraded my old, long running dovecot 1.1 to newer dovecot-1.2.4 + doevecot-sieve- 0.1.12 I observed a change in destination address (-a) parsing. Old behaviour: When Timo introduced this feature (http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-September/025813.html) it was possible to hand over only the detail part. In my sendmail configuration I used "-a +$h", where $h contains the

hi dovecot mailinglist - Configuration FreeBSD-9.3 sendmail -d0.1 == sendmail-8.14.9 <<-- dovecot --version == dovecot-2.2.15 # =================================================================== # I'm trying to get sendmail to invoke dovecot.m4 ( dovecot-lda ) to # deliver emails to dovecot's virtual users ( /etc/dovecot/passwd ) # or mysql/postgresql virtual users #

Sorry, couldn't find this in the archives. Under freebsd 4.x, the native mail.local that sendmail uses by default writes From_ lines that include the origin address. This is very readily parsable and handy for quick greps in mboxes. But deliver defaults it to MAILER-DAEMON. I see you can specify the envelope From_ with "-f", but I'm not sure how that's useful. Also

Hi, I have a Centos 5 system with sendmail running as my MTA. Normally I note from sendmail logs that mails get delivered using the 'local' mailer. I have therefore entered the following into my sendmail.mc file, from an earlier post on this list: define(`LOCAL_MAILER_PATH',`/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver') define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS',`DFMPhfnu9')

Need help with setup/config. Current situation: (dovecot version : 1.1.7) we have system users and virtual users. (with different domains) Virtual users have procmail as LDA Now we want "deliver" to become the LDA I'm confused reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail sendmail.mc: divert(-1) divert(0)dnl include(`/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4')dnl

dear all, quickie - is possible(if yes - how, params, directives, etc) to use any alternative to sendmail_path = /usr/lib/sendmail is is configurable at all? like having postfix or anything else? regards

I just got done sending 42,000 e-mail messages that were rotting away in /var/spool/clientmqueue. I figured out the command to do so was "sendmail -L sm-msp-queue -Ac -q30m". I never even knew that directory existed. I thought everything queued was kept in /var/spool/mqueue (which, I might add is being taken care of on a regular basis.. just seems the problem lies in the

Ok, I've ALMOST got this working ... I can run deliver as a user, but when I try using it as the default delivery agent from sendmail, I get deliver(userid): net_connect(/var/run/dovecot/auth-master) failed: Permission denied Does deliver run as root, as the recipient's ID, sendmail's ID or sendmail's GID? (I'm running freebsd) Or am I totally clueless ?? Here is dovecot

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I've put together an always tempfail & sendmail-like DSN report back patch. Because I don't know how to transform the rejection reason into sysexit.h codes, it always tempfails. The hooks are so that: a) config file setting: lda_mode = mode b) command line: deliver --mode mode where mode is default or sendmail. When no

Hi, I'm having trouble setting up sendmail to be able to use dovecot deliver as an LDA... I don't want to be able to deliver mail locally, everything should go via deliver (virtual user setup)... And i'm confused about all the procmail/lda entry's in different sendmail config files... When using $# deliver -u testuser < testmail <-- he delivers my mail in the correct
