Do you have a user called "geekserver". Looks a bit dodgy.

orig_to=root@superman.geekinternetdevelopment.com, relay=local,

dovecot is a bit peculiar with the "root" user. You should always alias that to a real user. Or maybe you have.

delay=0.13, delays=0.06/0.01/0/0.06, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (unknown user: "geekserver")

Well, do you have a user called "geekserver"?

dovecot.log has:

dovecot: Oct 03 08:57:04 Info: auth(default): passwd(test@geekinetdev.com): unknown user

That seems to be unrelated to the above. /L

dovecot-deliver.log is empty...

Thanks for your assistance!!! ;-)

System log could help. /L

Good Day All! I am attempting to configure deliver as our LDA. I am also configuring the server to use Postfix instead of Sendmail. I have followed the all the documentation and examples I could find.

Below are my Dovecot and Postfix configs. Can someone please smack me upside the head and tell me why I am getting "user unknown" errors? If i don't use deliver as the LDA, all works perfectly. Help...

TIA, glenn
