Dear dovecot list.
I'm setting up my own VPS and working through getting mail to work.
Here is my dovecot -n
$dovecot -n
maildir:%h/%d/%n/mail : layout=fs
# 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
# OS: Linux 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 x86_64 Debian 6.0.3
auth_debug = yes
auth_debug_passwords = yes
auth_mechanisms = plain login cram-md5
auth_verbose = yes
auth_verbose_passwords = plain
lda_mailbox_autocreate = yes
log_path = /var/log/dovecot.log
mail_debug = yes
mail_gid = 1002
mail_home = /var/mail/virtual/%d/%n
mail_location = maildir:~/mail: layout=fs
mail_uid = 1002
namespace inbox {
inbox = yes
location =
mailbox Drafts {
special_use = \Drafts
}
mailbox Junk {
special_use = \Junk
}
mailbox Sent {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox "Sent Messages" {
special_use = \Sent
}
mailbox Trash {
special_use = \Trash
}
prefix =
}
passdb {
args = scheme=SHA512-CRYPT username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
driver = passwd-file
}
protocols = imap
service auth {
unix_listener auth-client {
mode = 0660
user = mail
}
}
service imap-login {
inet_listener imap {
port = 143
}
inet_listener imaps {
port = 993
ssl = yes
}
}
ssl_cert = </etc/dovecot/dovecot.pem
ssl_key = </etc/dovecot/private/dovecot.pem
userdb {
args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/users
driver = passwd-file
}
userdb {
driver = passwd
}
verbose_ssl = yes
I can successfully log into dovecot using telnet and open ssl from a
remote terminal, so authentication and everything is working fine.
From the above dovecot -n I asume that mails should be going to
/var/mail/virtual/domain/user/mail
However when I view this directory I can see a number of test mails that
I have sent using
echo "Hello me" | mail -s "Dovecot test" $USER
(see http://wiki2.dovecot.org/FindMailLocation)
Why am I not seeing them when I use telnet / openSSL to log in?
All help is greately appreciated.
