Hello there,
Everything was working fine on Dovecot 2.2.10 (on CentOS 7), but after updating to version 2.2.36, our director servers are not able to proxy LMTP.
We are sending mail from exim to the local Dovecot LMTP socket, which then used to send it to our internal mail servers on port 24.
Besides the update, nothing has changed in the config files. The configuration has been working great for months … Then we had a great idea of doing holiday maintenance.
(Currently, we are working around this issue by having exim send mail to the IP and port, instead of the socket.)
Doing a tcpdump capture shows no TCP traffic either. The logs seem to say that it is trying to go to port 0, so my guess is that it’s not getting the port directive from either static or sql — since the docs state that if these settings aren't specified, it will always use the same connection type for the proxy that it received the connection on.
Any thoughts? I can share config if necessary.
