[Dovecot] FW: Sendmail + Deliver as an LDA

[Natan Vermeersch]

"deliver" is working fine.

 

/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d test at domain1 < testmail

 

creates the virtual mailbox. (uid,gid,mail,home through passwd sql)

 

Currently we have a virtualusertable

(FEATURE(`virtusertable',`hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable')dnl)


virtualusertable looks like:

 

user1 at domain1 user1 at hotmail.com

user2 at domain1 user2 at hotmail.com

@domain1 system-user

 

For the moment, an email sent to test at domain1 is forwarded to the system-user.

The system-user has a .procmail-config where he places the incomming mail into the correct virtual-mailbox.

 

Now we have replaced "local_procmail" with "deliver":

FEATURE(`local_procmail', `/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver',`deliver -d $u')

 

an email sent to test at domain1 is placed in the system-user's real-mailbox.

 

How to keep the external-forward-functionality of the virtualusertable and to be able to deliver into the virtual-mailbox?

 

Regards,

Natan
