In this case, Dovecot's deliver needs a master socket to get user information from. See instructions at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA .
I have adjusted my configuration so that a master auth socket is created. I confirmed it's created, but the problem still persists.
How exactly do you see the problem with deliver?
In short, it causes fetchmail / getmail to fail. There doesn't seem to be an error message either.
carl@cvondrick:~$ fetchmail 329 messages for carl@vondrick.com at pop.gmail.com (14160305 octets). reading message carl@vondrick.com@gmail-pop.l.google.com:1 of 329 (5416 octets).fetchmail: error writing message text fetchmail: MDA error while fetching from carl@vondrick.com@pop.gmail.com fetchmail: Query status=6 (IOERR)
carl@cvondrick:~$ cat .fetchmailrc poll pop.gmail.com with proto POP3 user carl@vondrick.com there with pass foobar mda "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d vondrick" ssl
There is similar behavior with getmail: carl@cvondrick:~$ getmail getmail version 4.7.7 Copyright (C) 1998-2007 Charles Cazabon. Licensed under the GNU GPL version 2. SimplePOP3SSLRetriever:carl@vondrick.com@pop.gmail.com:995: Delivery error (command deliver 32064 error (78, )) msg 1/329 (5416 bytes), delivery error (command deliver 32064 error (78, ))
I'm following the example in this thread: http://dovecot.org/pipermail/dovecot/2007-July/024012.html
Thanks for your responses so far -- this is a very helpful and active community.
