Hi

Currently I'm using local from postfix for delivering mails. Now I want to change this to using the dovecot lda as I want to use plus addressing.

I configured postfix to use dovecot as I found in the wiki and several howtos in the net.

My Problem is the following: dovecot delver accepts the mail but bounces it with error: user unknown.

Logging in and authentication via imap4 and pop3 works, only deliver seems to be unable to lookup the users from userdb.

Has anyone an idea where my mistake is?

Here is my actual configuration: dovecot version: 1.0.beta9 postfix version: 2.2.10 system: FreeBSD 6.1-STABLE The system is using maildirs.

I changed my postfix/master.cf to the following:

dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=dovecot:dovecot argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient} -m ${extension}

In my postfix/main.cf I use the following:

dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 local_transport = dovecot

lda & auth specific settings from my dovecot.conf:

protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster@my-domain.org hostname = mail.my-domain.org #mail_plugins = #mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log # syslog_facility = mail }

auth_executable = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-auth auth_process_size = 256

auth_debug = yes auth_verbose = yes

auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb pam { } userdb passwd { } user = root socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0666 user = dovecot group = dovecot } client { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-client mode = 0660 } } }

plugin { }

Any help is appreciated as I dont know where to look for my mistake.

regards, Sven
