[Dovecot] dovecot LDA: "temporary failure"
This really has me stumped and desperate. I upgraded Debian from 5 to 6 (squeeze) and now Dovecot LDA fails. I have checked permissions and the usual. Postfix SMTP, Dovecot POP3 and Dovecot IMAP work. Having to upgrade MySQL from 5.0 to 5.1 made me question that. Logging is of little help. I have turned on logging for LDA to a separate file.
When I try to run the deliver command it returns nothing and appears to do nothing:
~$ cat /etc/hosts | /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f root@localhost -d dkoski@[domainhidden].com $
..but then I don't know what to expect.
The log files are owned by dovecot. I tried chmod'ing them to 777 in desperation.
This was working before the upgrade to 1.2.15-4 from 1.0.15-2.3+lenny1.
Postfix reports this stuff:

I tried reinstalling the package dovecot-common. I downloaded it on another machine and compared the md5sum.

I created a script to get the return code from deliver:
1 #!/bin/bash 2 3 cat "cur/1300037582.P7332Q0M221160.brusco-mail:2,S" | /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f dkoski@somedomain.com -d dkoski@domainhidden.com 4 5 case $? in 6 0) echo "0" 7 ;; 8 64) echo "64" 9 ;; 10 67) echo "67" 11 ;; 12 78) echo "78" 13 ;; 14 77) echo "77" 15 ;; 16 75) echo "75" 17 ;; 18 *) echo "unknown" 19 esac 20
The file it is cat'ing is a valid email in an Maildir/cur file. It returns 75 (EX_TEMP_FAIL) every time, even run as root. The logs reveal:
/var/log/dovecot/lda-deliver:
2011-03-17 23:35:39 deliver(dkoski@somedomain2.com): Info: Loading modules from directory: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda
/var/log/dovecot/deliver.info: (nothing)
/var/log/dovecot/deliver.err: (nothing)
I tried the script on another machine with Dovecot 1.0.15-2.3+lenny1 with success if I run as root.

This really has me stumped and desperate. I upgraded Debian from 5...

Forget it. I must have been crosseyed. Someone had put the log file in a non-standard place /home/vmail/dovecot-deliver.log. It told all. A plugin cmusieve was not found, possibly depreciated?
I learned how to make the deliver command line work. ;)
