I'm running into an issue with lmtp trying to store user mail in 'base_dir' ( same as this ( http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2011-January/056736.html )) however I'm just using PAM for auth. I've tried with chroot, without chroot and 'chroot'ing lmtp directly in ' service lmtp { } ' which just lead to lots more errors.
I've not included anything of the current config so far, as I don't know what is needed here yet.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I can't spot it for the life of me. Can anyone offer any new ideas?
You're using a relative path somewhere instead of an absolute path. Possibly in your home dir or mail_location. mail_debug=yes is helpful (make sure all paths begin with /).
