[Dovecot] postmaster_address setting not given
Hi, I am trying to get dovecot working with postfix, and am coming up against this error message. I have this setting configured in the 'protocol lda' section.
I am running v1.1.11

When I run "dovecot -a" I see no mention of the postmaster_address setting.
TIA Steve.

You should run dovecot -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf -a. BUT,
the mercurial changelog contains among others:
date: Sun Jul 26 21:56:17 2009 -0400
summary: dovecot -n/-a now outputs also lda settings.
…
date: Mon Jul 27 02:09:00 2009 -0400
summary: Released v1.2.2.

I see, so that's why I don't see the LDA settings. However it doesn't explain why I keep getting the "postmaster_address setting not given" when it is clearly configured in the conf file. Or am I missing something?

Please stop top posting.
When do you get this error? When executing dovecot -{a,n}?

I see this message :
deliver(test@xxx.com): Dec 06 19:35:58 Fatal: postmaster_address setting not given
in /var/log/dovecot.log when postfix is attempting local delivery.

Are you also calling deliver with -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf? I don't know what Ubuntu has done, but that's not the default .conf path.

Hi, of course! I spent a couple of hours being thrown with this at first when configuring dovecot, but didn't think that I needed to add it to master.cf as well. Now I have this in the master.cf file - all works as expected:
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf -f ${sender} -d ${recipient}
Many thanks, for all your help.
