Hello all!
Some month ago I upgraded our dovecot installation from version 1.0.5 to version 2.1.7 without having any trouble. Postfix is delivering email directly per virtual transport to the maildirs and mailboxes of the users in /var/spool/vhosts/domains/....
Now I want to use dovecot-lda and created a new entry in the master.cf of postfix.
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${recipient}
It is not clear to me, how the dovecot-lda is started bei dovecot and you it finds the socket dovecot postfix created.
The dovecot.conf looks like this;
# 2.1.7: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf # OS: Linux 2.6.22.5-31-bigsmp i686 openSUSE 10.3 (i586) ext3
auth_verbose = yes disable_plaintext_auth = no log_path = /var/log/dovecot1
mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/vhosts/%d/dovecotprivate/%n:INBOX=/var/spool/vhosts/%d/%n
!include /etc/dovecot/conf.d/*.conf
passdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file } userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/passwd driver = passwd-file }
ssl_cert = < /etc/dovecot/ssl/hostcert.pem ssl_key = < /etc/dovecot/ssl/hostkey.pem #verbose_ssl = yes
plugin { quota = maildir:User quota quota_rule = *:storage=500MB # 10% of 1GB = 100MB quota_rule2 = Trash:storage=+10%% # 20% of 1GB = 200MB # quota_rule3 = Spam:storage=+20%%
autocreate = Trash
autocreate2 = Drafts
autocreate3 = Sent
autosubscribe = Trash
autosubscribe2 = Drafts
autosubscribe3 = Sent}
I set soft_bounce = yes in main.cf of postfix and delivery of mail fails with
Dec 14 16:13:34 delta postfix/virtual[14082]: BBC0F1B31294: to=xyz@anup.de, relay=virtual, delay=395, delays=395/0.01/0/0.13, dsn=4.1.1, status=SOFTBOUNCE (unknown user: "xyz@anup.de")
This is the relevant part of the main.cf:
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
virtual_mailbox_domains = anup.de bit-corner.de bitcorner.de baubetreuung-meyer.de saxelektro.de virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/vhosts #virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/vmailbox #virtual_minimum_uid = 100 #virtual_uid_maps = static:5000 #virtual_gid_maps = static:5000 virtual_mailbox_limit = 524288000 virtual_transport = dovecot
I don't get it right. As far as I understand postfix uses virtual_transport = dovecot and hands the mail over to the socket dovecot. But how does dovecot know where to look for the socket. I am missing somthing but don't know what.
Any help is appreciated!
