"deliver" is working fine.
/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d test@domain1 < testmail
creates the virtual mailbox. (uid,gid,mail,home through passwd sql)
Currently we have a virtualusertable
(FEATURE(virtusertable',hash -o /etc/mail/virtusertable')dnl)
virtualusertable looks like:
user1@domain1 user1@hotmail.com
user2@domain1 user2@hotmail.com
@domain1 system-user
For the moment, an email sent to test@domain1 is forwarded to the system-user.
The system-user has a .procmail-config where he places the incomming mail into the correct virtual-mailbox.
Now we have replaced "local_procmail" with "deliver":
FEATURE(local_procmail', /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver',`deliver -d $u')
an email sent to test@domain1 is placed in the system-user's real-mailbox.
How to keep the external-forward-functionality of the virtualusertable and to be able to deliver into the virtual-mailbox?
Regards,
Natan

Need help with setup/config.
Current situation: (dovecot version : 1.1.7)
we have system users and virtual users. (with different domains) Virtual users have procmail as LDA
Now we want "deliver" to become the LDA
I'm confused reading http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail [...]
To use dovecot's deliver as sendmail's local mailer you need the following lines in your sendmail.mc:
FEATURE(
local_procmail',/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver',deliver -d $u') MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(LOCAL', `-f')
Change path to dovecot's deliver to fit your installation.
The second line is needed only if your deliver does not support "-f envelope_sender" command line argument or if dovecot and sendmail do not "play well together" with "empty" (<>) envelope sender. I do not think it is required but http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail mentions it for some (unexplained) reasons.
the above changes should not affect deliveries to virtual users [ unless you use *VERY* unusual sendmail configuration ]
P.S. Do you reject messages to non existing virtual users in reply to "RCPT TO:"?
