What does deliver log to dovecot.log? If nothing, does it have enough permissions to write to it?
Oh, /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log of course. :)
I just had a problem similar to this. I turned on all the debug (logging) in dovecot and discovered that I had to the default 0600 permissions on auth-client and auth-master, as shown below. After restarting dovecot, all went well.
srw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0B Oct 4 15:43 auth-client= srw-rw-rw- 1 root wheel 0B Oct 4 15:43 auth-master=
I am confused. The permissions above look like 0666 to me.
They are.
Do I make my file look like what is above, or set it to 0600?
If auth* permissions are wrong, an error is logged about them. So the most important thing you should do first is check if there's anything logged in dovecot-deliver.log, and if not change its permission to 0666 and see if then something gets logged there.
