Hi,

I've tried to work with the option NOT to get the INBOX, and to use "lmtp"

Email are stoill blocked into sendmail



Here is my sendmail config

define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `local_lmtp')dnl
dnl ############################  FIN OPENDKIM ######             
dnl ###### boost traitement ############"dnl
FEATURE(`access_db', `hash -T<TMPF> -o /etc/mail/access.db')dnl
dnl # define(`confCONNECTION_RATE_THROTTLE',2800)dnl
FEATURE(local_procmail, `', `procmail -t -Y -a $h -d $u')dnl
FEATURE(`local_lmtp')
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER(smtp)dnl
MAILER(procmail)dnl
MAILER(dovecot)dnl   -> maybe totally useless if I declare : MAILER( local )


and my dovecot config

hi,

Orignially, I have :

mail_location = mbox:/var/spool2/mail/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u that I change to : mail_location = maildir:/var/spool2/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u 

The verdict..; This part : work fine for :  maildir:/var/spool2/mail/%u:

but does'n't work out correctly for  :  INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u

2 possibilities :

1) I've tried NOT to give access to Mail access on INBOX and I didn't succeed in making it understand that I want my /var/spool/mail/%u to move to the "MailDir" part...

2) I give access to the INBOX. I leave as it is... but the problem is :Sendmail is using /var/spool/mail%u  ( where %u is a file )  and Dovecot who needs to get a folder and to get %u/tmp ; %u/curl; etc....

So, that way this is incompatible..  what is wrong ??

Please what should I do for this INBOX part ?

Thanks

Hi,

So, I tried to change mbox to maildir.. that sounds to be OK for the changes... I can create some folders and subfolders. The problem is that I cannot see any emails arriving into my mailbox

I am using sendmail

I choose the lmtp service for that and I have into Dovecot

Maildir : mail_location = maildir:/var/spool3/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs

service lmtp {
unix_listener /var/spool/mail/dovecot-lmtp {
    mode = 0600
    user = mail
    group = mail
  }
  inet_listener lmtp {
    address = ::1, 127.0.0.1
   
  }
}


into sendmail.mc.. I have :

But if I add : Feature(dovecot) or Feature( local_lmtp)   it doesn't compile..

m4:/etc/mail/sendmail.mc:154: cannot open `/usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/dovecot.m4': No such file or directory

So, how can explain that any emails coming into /var/spool/mail has to be sent to Dovecot ??

Thanks and regards

Hi,
Still looking for the way to create folders and sub folders..
Today, I am using "mbox", which apparently doesn't work for this ? correct ?
mbox has very limited support for folders. 

So, I would probably need to use maildir.. ( https://doc.dovecot.org/configuration_manual/mail_location/Maildir/ ]
Today, what I am using is :mbox,which is gather all the mailboxes of user 1, user 2 in one folder... like : mbox:/var/spool2/mail/%u
1) I suppose, that If I am using "mbox" with.. : LAYOUT=fs, I won't get these folders and subfolders ? - Correct ?

2) Instead of having : "maildir:~/Maildir " which, I suppose got eachuser folder into their own home directory .. correct ? Can I have : maildir:/var/spool2/mail/%u?
yes.

( I would prefer to gather all users' mailbox into one folder like /var/spool2/mail/ )
3) if so, mbox:/var/spool2/mail/%u:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u => can become : maildir:/var/spool2/mail/%u:LAYOUT=fs:INBOX=/var/spool/mail/%u

yes. And while you're doing this, you might as well start using lda or lmtp and drop the INBOX parameter. There is no need to keep INBOX in /var/spool/mail/%u unless your users expect direct access?

What do you think ?... before trying and breaking everything :-)... if so, I will be killed 

Thanks and regards
