Hi Folks,

I setted up a mail server based on this how-to http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html

All things are working thing as you can see in my server log. Off course, that I’ve suppressed some informations.

postfix/smtpd[16483]: connect from unknown[myip]

postfix/smtpd[16483]: 62C9034002: client=unknown[myip]

postfix/cleanup[16777]: 62C9034002: message-id=<20070215182523.62C9034002@mysmtpserver>

postfix/qmgr[16457]: 62C9034002: from=<me@domain>, size=360, nrcpt=1 (queue active)

dovecot: auth(default_with_listener): master in: USER     1      user@domain        service=deliver

dovecot: auth(default_with_listener): ldap(user@domain): user search: base=dc=example,dc=com scope=subtree filter=(&(objectClass=VirtualMailAccount)(mail=user@domain)(accountActive=TRUE)(delete=FALSE)) fields=mail,homeDirectory

dovecot: auth(default_with_listener): master out: USER    1       user@domain        uid=202 gid=202

deliver(user@domain): msgid=<20070215182523.62C9034002@mysmtpserver>: saved mail to INBOX

postfix/pipe[16785]: 62C9034002: to=<user@domain>, relay=dovecot, delay=12, status=sent (domain)

postfix/qmgr[16457]: 62C9034002: removed

This log is showing that a message was delivered to an user at my mailserver. But, at this time, I’ve tried to test forwarding features of postfix+dovecot+ldap.

I’ve setted up this user entry (forwardActive=TRUE) in my ldap server.

Here follows some entries that I put at my main.cf

# Accounts

accounts_server_host = $ldap_server_host

accounts_search_base = $ldap_search_base

accounts_query_filter = (&(&(objectClass=VirtualMailAccount)(mail=%s))(forwardActive=FALSE)(accountActive=TRUE)(delete=FALSE))

accounts_result_attribute = mailbox

accounts_cache = no

virtual_transport = dovecot

virtual_mailbox_base = /var/lib/imap/vmail/domains

virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:accounts

virtual_mailbox_domains = ldap:domains

virtual_minimum_uid = 202

virtual_uid_maps = static:202

virtual_gid_maps = static:202

virtual_alias_maps = ldap:aliases, ldap:virtualforward

home_mailbox = Maildir/

# aliases

aliases_server_host = $ldap_server_host

aliases_search_base = $ldap_search_base

aliases_query_filter = (&(&(objectClass=VirtualMailAlias)(mail=%s))(forwardActive=FALSE)(accountActive=TRUE)(delete=FALSE))

aliases_result_attribute = maildrop

aliases_cache = no

aliases_bind_dn = $ldap_bind_dn

aliases_bind_pw = $ldap_bind_pw

accountsmap_server_host = $ldap_server_host

accountsmap_search_base = $ldap_search_base

accountsmap_query_filter = (&(&(objectClass=VirtualMailAccount)(mail=%s))(forwardActive=FALSE)(accountActive=TRUE)(delete=FALSE))

accountsmap_result_attribute = mail

accountsmap_cache = no

# Domains

domains_server_host = $ldap_server_host

domains_search_base = $ldap_search_base

domains_query_filter = (&(objectClass=VirtualDomain)(vd=%s)(accountActive=TRUE)(delete=FALSE))

domains_result_attribute = vd

domains_bind = no

domains_scope = one

# VirtualForward

virtualforward_server_host = $ldap_server_host

virtualforward_search_base = $ldap_search_base

virtualforward_query_filter = (&(&(objectClass=VirtualMailAccount)(mail=%s))(forwardActive=TRUE)(accountActive=TRUE)(delete=FALSE))

virtualforward_result_attribute = maildrop

virtualforward_cache = no

virtualforward_bind_dn = $ldap_bind_dn

virtualforward_bind_pw = $ldap_bind_pw

Any guesses or misconfiguration?

I don’t have an idea of how can I debug to get the error.

Looking forward to get some clues and helps :P

Best Regards
