[Dovecot] help using sendmail LDA
I am stuck. I get nothing in the logs (about deliver). Sendmail complains about "User unknown". I am not sure I have my sendmail.mc configured right, can someone confirm or give me some sample config files that make use of Dovecot+LDAP and sendmail LDA?
Dovecot is running as root.
I am a little confused, so the auth-master is not even needed? (the whole socket listen {}, since I am using static userdb and the user information was already found at authentication/login)
Thank You!

This probably goes back to your other questions. I believe deliver uses the userdb stanzas (at least that is what I documented in my dovecot.conf).
Here is my working setup...
... dovecot.conf ...
passdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-domains.conf }
userdb prefetch { }
# LDA requires the userdb stanzas
userdb ldap { args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-ldap-domains.conf }
... dovecot-ldap-domains.conf ...
# User attributes are given in LDAP-name=dovecot-internal-name list. The # internal names are: # home: Home directory # mail: MAIL environment # system_user: System user name (for getting user's groups from /etc/group) # - For virtual users you don't want to use this, so this defaults to none. # uid: System user ID # gid: System group ID user_attrs = mailMessageStore=home,mail=system_user,,
# If you wish to avoid two LDAP lookups (passdb + userdb), you can use # userdb prefetch instead of userdb ldap in dovecot.conf. In that case you'll # also have to include user_attrs in pass_attrs field prefixed with "userdb_" # string. For example:
pass_attrs = mail=user,userPassword=password,mail=system_user,mail=userdb_user,mail=userdb_system_user,mailMessageStore=userdb_home,,
# You can use same UID and GID for all user accounts if you really want to. # If the UID/GID is still found from LDAP reply, it overrides these values. user_global_uid = 1500 user_global_gid = 1500
How does your sendmail.mc configuration look like?
I just tried and used ldap for userdb instead of static, and I was still getting the same thing. Sendmail keeps spitting out User unknown messages.
How does sendmail work when configured like this?
This doesn't look right: (does it?)

My basic test is to run the following:
cat /etc/hosts | sudo /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d jhorner@arinbe.com
If that doesn't work then dovecot configuration isn't right.
There is a sendmail wiki page:
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail
I can't help with sendmail all that much... I use postfix and call deliver like:
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DOR user=vuser:vuser argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${user}@${nexthop} -n -m ${extension}
and permissions on deliver set to run deliver as root.
-rwsr-x--- 1 root vuser deliver
