Hi to all,

I have tryed a few days to configure postfix/dovecot to run into a VPS machine (CentOs) -->The machine has 2 domains (but more in the future) -->i want info@mail.domain1.com and info@mail.domain2.com to be seperated mailboxes -->i want to use lmtp protocol to connect dovecot with postfix -->It will be perfect if i can use the system users for authentication

I /etc/postfix/main.cf file looks like this

smtpd_soft_error_limit = 10 smtpd_hard_error_limit = 20 masquerade_domains = mail.going-on.com mail.commundi.de masquerade_exceptions = root, papinhio relocated_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/relocated smtpd_client_restrictions = check_client_access hash:/etc/postfix/access virtual_mailbox_domains = mail.going-on.com mail.commundi.de virtual_mailbox_base = /var/spool/virtual_hosts virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual virtual_uid_maps = static:0 virtual_gid_maps = static:0 mailbox_command = /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f "$SENDER" -a "$RECIPIENT" dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp

/etc/postfix/relocated file has only comments the same for /etc/postfix/access file i have made /var/spool/virtual_hosts folder with chmod 777 inside this folder i have made mail.going-on.com folder and mail.commundi.de folder

cat /etc/postfix/virtual produce this: papinhio@mail.going-on.com mail.going-on.com/papinhio

papinhio is a system_user!!

uid,gid = 0 (the root user)

Ok, the /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf file looks like this:

!include conf.d/*.conf !include_try local.conf

protocols = imap lmtp service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0660 user = postfix } }

protocol lmtp { mail_plugins = quota sieve }

mail_location = mbox:/var/spool/virtual_hosts/%d/%n

Both of the services can start this no errors/warnings I can send mail from bash with this command : /bin/mail -s "Hello" "el07694@mail.ntua.gr" < /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf

Can anyone help me, plz? I don't know what i do wrong

Thanks in advance, Chris Pappas
