Hello list,
I am trying to send a mail message from root to a system user on the same box. While postfix functions without dovecot properly, once dovecot is installed, I get the message from logs as set in the subject line - that postfix/lmpt cannot connect to [private/dovecot-lmtp]: No such file or directory
Also, user's ~/.Maildir aren't created, although there is such instructions in dovecot. Finally, doveconf -n says there is no ssl enabled, although I explicitly set it in /conf.d/10-ssl.conf
Below are dmesg, postconf -n, doveconf -n and a snippet from /var/log/mail.log
Please advise. Thanks in advance.
$ doveconf -n # 2.2.13: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 3.18.26-x1-64 x86_64 Debian 8.3 hostname = mail.domain.tld protocols = lmtp service lmtp { unix_listener lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } }
You probably want to define socket path here, so that the socket gets created in postfix's private directory, probably /var/lib/postfix/private
