Question: if you use an alternate location for the config file, and start dovecot with that config file properly, does plain 'dovecot -n' output what is in the config file that is in use? Or the one in the default location?
It's the default location:
tw@mail2:~$ pgrep -lf dovecot 28900 /usr/sbin/dovecot -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf 28901 dovecot-auth tw@mail2:~$ dovecot -n # 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf Error: Can't open configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: No such file or directory Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf tw@mail2:~$
Ouch... that adds a big wrinkle to troubleshooting, especially if a file *does* exist at the default location...
Ok I have a new development. When I try to send to a user in my domain from a domain other than my own I get an error.
For example, I sent to duane@baldtel.com from an external address. The server returned the error 'user duane does not exist' in the form of an undeliverable bounce back email.
When I configure outlook for the user and when I log in on telnet, I have to use duane@baldtel.com as the user to log into the server. I assume this means that the username is actually 'duane@baldtel.com' rather than duane. I know that when I usually set up pop3 in outlook with other servers I would just put the part before the @ on the email into the server information field (user/pass). This means that with other servers the username actually would have been duane usually.
I only get this message back when sending from another server. When I send from my server, the email appears to have gone out. It just never arrives.
