Hello,
I want to make final delivery for some of my mailboxes using dovecot-lda, since I'm interested in using sieve. My usual MDA which is called from postfix is and will be maildrop.
First try was to call dovecot-lda from command line:
/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -d spam@xgm.de < testmail
which gave return code 75 (EX_TEMPFAIL) and logged:
dovecot: auth-worker(3533): mysql(localhost): Connected to database system dovecot: imap-login: Login: user=spam@xgm.de, method=PLAIN, rip=::1, lip=::1, mpid=3535, secured, session=<jwXWP3HrwgAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAB> dovecot: imap(spam@xgm.de): Disconnected: Logged out in=91 out=830 dovecot: lda(spam@xgm.de): Error: user spam@xgm.de: Initialization failed: Namespace '': Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/home/flindner/Mail/spam dovecot: lda(spam@xgm.de): Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information.
My userdb/password is like that home == maildir == /home/flindner/Mail/spam (without prefixed "maildir:"). It works fine for dovecot-imap, it detects that spam is a maildir.
I've also tried prefixing home and or maildir with "maildir:" or calling: HOME=maildir:~/Mail/spam /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda < testmail which gave:
dovecot: lda: Error: user flindner: Relative home directory paths not supported: maildir:/home/flindner/Mail/spam dovecot: lda: Fatal: Invalid user settings. Refer to server log for more information.
What is the problem with the LDA here?
Thanks, Florian
