Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot sieve with postfix.

I can't get dovecot working with postfix. If I leave virtual_transport set to "virtual", I can send and receive messages just fine in roundcube. If I set virtual_transport to "dovecot", I can only send messages in roundcube, but incoming messages never arrive. Seems I can't get dovecot-lda to work. I need dovecot-lda in order for sieve filters to work.

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Here's doveconf -n: http://pastie.org/5401133

postconf -n: http://pastie.org/5401157

and postconf -M: http://pastie.org/5401177

The only obvious thing I can see wrong there is that you have

mail_plugins = " sieve"

in dovecot.conf, which should be

mail_plugins = sieve

but I don't know that that would prevent delivery.

Is Postfix deferring the message, or does it think it's been delivered? What do you see in your logs when a message is delivered (since you've redirected Dovecot away from syslog, you'd need to look at both Postfix's and Dovecot's logs)?

What happens if you feed a message to dovecot-lda manually, as 'mailman'? Check the exitcode of lda and the logs, as well as seeing if the message was delivered.

Since you've set up a dedicated transport for Dovecot, it would probably be worth using LMTP instead of the LDA. It should be more efficient, and since you're only using a single virtual user you can tell dovecot to run the LMTP server as 'mailman' instead of root.
