you have lots of userdb's in your config. If you use %s in the general ones, I would remove the special ones in the "lmtp" section at all.
True. I cleaned them up a little.
userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/deny/%s/deny-user default_fields = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/tmp/non-existant-name driver = passwd-file }
No dice.
Just use one userdb:
userdb { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap.conf.ext driver = ldap }
Then extent your userdb query by:
(&(original query)(!(attr=%s)))
Huh, we're getting somewhere!
choose any attr'ibute with text, such as description, that does no harm to other services. Then the LMTP service should get no hit and should, IMHO, tempfail the delivery.
Thing is that it does not tmpfail but it says: 550 5.1.1 user@domain User doesn't exist.
But I guess that is correct. My reasoning is the following: The above method effectively disables a user's account. So from the point of view of lmtp/imap/pop3 the user does not exist. In case of lmtp it is totally appropriate to deny delivery instead of tmpfailing.
Guess I will have to take a look at the -- not yet tried -- quota solution ...
Thanks so far!
