[Dovecot] Resend: How do I configure sendmail to accept emails for dovecot when dovecot has sql auth/user db.

2 Aug 2007

      Apologies for resending this, I am not sure it made it through the

first time..
Included below are my config files: sendmail.mc, dovecot.m4,

dovecot.conf, dovecot-sql.conf.  Whenever I try to send email into

this system, it rejects it with user does not exist, however, the

user does exist as far as dovecot (imap) is concerned, it is in the

database.
THANKS - Yossie
