I have Exim, which does its usual thing, and the LDA is Dovecot (IMAPS).
Up to this point, I have used Thunderbird/Icedove as the MUA, but there
have been problems, as we have discussed already (not solved yet). I do
the road warrior thing from time to time, so have been using Squirrelmail
on the laptop (also now on the desktop, because it's the only thing that I
can send on).
When I try to set lda as a protocol, that is:
protocols = imaps managesieve lda
I get an error message:
Restarting IMAP/POP3 mail server: dovecotFatal: Unknown protocol lda
failed!
Either one is not supposed to do that, or there's something wrong with how
I have lda set up:
protocol lda {
postmaster_address = postmaster at ellisonpsychology.ca
# sieve_global_path = /var/mail/.global.sieve
script_path = ~/.dovecot.sieve
mail_plugin_dir = /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda
mail_plugins = cmusieve
mail_debug = yes
log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliverlog
info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot/deliverlog
}
Managesieve sets up the symlink for ~/.dovecot.sieve OK. However, nothing
is in the logs, and there's nothing in /sieve/tmp.
Of course, the problem may lie elsewhere. but this seems to me the place
to start.
Thanks
Cam
