[Dovecot] LDA Problem

23 May 2006


      Hi
I'm having a problem with dovecot deliver. I'm using a dovecot version
1.0.beta8. As I am using a chrooted (/var/spool/postfix) postfix
(version: 2.2.10) with cyrus-sasl authentification (all working).
Postfix config is changed according to the http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA:
main.cf:
mailbox_command = dovecot
master.cf:
dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d
${recipient}
I have adopted the dovecot.conf also according to
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA but changed the auth_socket_path to point
into the chroot of postfix. I have attached my dovecot.conf at the end
of this email.
The mails that are sent to the machine are not delivered at all. In the
mail-logfile I can see the following error message for each mail that
can't be deliverd:
postfix/pipe[21344]: BC254154E5BD: to=<root>, orig_to=<root>,
relay=dovecot, delay=0, status=bounced (user unknown)
I've already search the net but could not find any clue how to solve
this. Can anyone give me a hint what to do?
