Postfix people suggested placing a wrapper script for mailbox_command, which I did, and have it log to a text file, so I do know that deliver is being called.
To get you right here: the wrapper is being called by Postfix, right?
Yes, postfix calls a wrapper. The wrapper is a shell script that calls deliver. This is the wrapper. $LOGNAME comes from postfix, it's a built in variable it populates as the local username:
#!/bin/sh DELIVER=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver DATE=
dateecho "==" >> /tmp/foo.txt echo $DATE >> /tmp/foo.txt echo $USER >> /tmp/foo.txt $DELIVER -d "$LOGNAME" echo $DATE >> /tmp/foo.txt
I'd typically do
#!/bin/sh { DELIVER=... echo "==" echo $DATE ... } >> /tmp/foo.txt 2>&1
...so you have the redirection in one place. Plus it catches stdout and stderr of other calls (especially the one from deliver, you are interested in).
Maybe an "strace $DELIVER", although definitely overkill, might lead you to the problem.

Well, it's hard for me to tell. I know for sure that the wrapper ran, as I get my temp log does get the tiemstamp that's before/after deliver. However, I guess I dont know the best way to log the output/exit status of the deliver command.
As for the output, see above. The exit status is in the special shell variable $?

Hmm, perhaps I should somehow log the entire status of SETENV or something.
That would be env (/usr/bin/env)
What I probably really need to do is figure out theappropriate pipes after the deliver line to find out if it's spitting anything back to stderr or something. This is usually.. >> 2&1 or something similar? Anyone have suggestions for that?
See above. I'd group everything in { ... } and do the redirection at the end. Less to write (and less to fix when you change your mind :-)
