Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot Deliver Problem

hi all,

You need to setup new auth socket in dovecot.conf, I forgot to document this on first time.

hi all,

i'm trying to get my Exim version 4.53 (snapshot)/ OSX 10.4.2 to route via a pipe to Dovecot's cvs-lda.

to that end, in exim.conf, per the Dovecot wiki, i've:

localuser:
  driver              = accept
  domains             = +local_domains
  transport           = dovecot_lda

dovecot_lda:
  driver              = pipe
  command             = /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver \
                        -c /var/Settings/Dovecot/dovecot-deliver.conf \
                        -d $local_part@$domain
  message_prefix      =
  message_suffix      =
  delivery_date_add
  envelope_to_add
  return_path_add
  log_output
  user                = mailuser

checking routing:

%exim -bt testuser@mydomain.com
	testuser@mydomain.com
	  router = localuser, transport = dovecot_lda

looks ok.

an attempt at an actual delivery,

% exim -v -odf testuser@mydomain.com

test .

though, results in exim log reporting:

2005-09-12 23:17:30 IMQS51-0004XL-6D <= root@mydomain.com U=root P=local S=305 

from root@mydomain.com for testuser@mydomain.com 2005-09-12 23:17:30 IMQS51-0004XL-6D == testuser@mydomain.com R=localuser T=dovecot_lda defer (0): Child process of dovecot_lda transport returned 75 (could mean temporary error) from command: /usr/local/dovecot/libexec/dovecot/deliver

this in my syslog,

Sep 12 23:17:30 server deliver: 

net_connect(/var/Process/dovecot/auth-master.socket) failed: Connection refused

and nothing directly in my dovecot error log.

per _this_ thread, i've ensured in my dovecot.conf:

socket listen {
    master { path        = /var/Process/dovecot/auth-master.socket
             mode        = 666
    }
}

and in dovecot-deliver.conf

auth_socket_path             = /var/Process/dovecot/auth-master.socket

unlike Marc's earlier error of:

failed: No such file or directory

i _am_ finding the socket, but i'm getting the:

failed: Connection refused

permissions, perhaps? i've _got_ the socket set to 777 w/ mailuser:mailuser for testing ... to no avail.

any suggestions?

thx!
