(Dovecot 1.0.rc15)
Hello I'm tring to configure postfix+dovecot on debian etch. In dovecot I use passdb pam and userdb passwd-file. I can connect pop3 clients and reveice mails and connect smtp clients and send mails, but it is delivered to /var/mail/%u instead the configured mailboxes in /var/local/dovecot/%u. I`ve configured postfix as say http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix.
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtpd_banner = $myhostname ESMTP $mail_name (Debian/GNU) biff = no append_dot_mydomain = no myhostname = coan alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases mydestination = coan.com.br myorigin = /etc/mailname relayhost = mynetworks = 121.120.0.0/16 mailbox_size_limit = 0 inet_interfaces = all smtpd_recipient_restrictions = reject_unauth_destination virtual_transport = dovecot dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1
belong master.cf.
Below the syslog when I send mail via smtp...
/var/log/syslog:
postfix/smtpd[16656]: connect from 201-95-99-135.dsl.telesp.net.br[201.95.99.135] postfix/smtpd[16656]: C76F948E3D7: client=201-95-99-135.dsl.telesp.net.br[201.95.99.135] postfix/cleanup[16660]: C76F948E3D7: message-id=1181769218.7844.6.camel@mobile postfix/qmgr[16653]: C76F948E3D7: from=tom@coan.com.br, size=457, nrcpt=1 (queue active) postfix/local[16661]: C76F948E3D7: to=tom@coan.com.br, relay=local, delay=0.52, delays=0.45/0.01/0/0.07, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox) postfix/qmgr[16653]: C76F948E3D7: removed postfix/smtpd[16656]: disconnect from 201-95-99-135.dsl.telesp.net.br[201.95.99.135]
If I change 'virtual_transport = dovecot' to 'local_transport = dovecot', syslog output changes relay-local to relay=dovecot, but bounces the mail saying 'passwd-file(tom@coan.com.br): unknown user'. However I'm sure that the user is in the passwd-file and dovecot has permissions to read it.
Can you give some hints about what can be happening?
