ISSUE-1: Unable to get new mail delivered to the Dovecot generated ~/Maildir/folders. The mail continues be delivered to the standard /var/mail/<user-name>. Ofcourse, until I get the aforementioned functioning, I'm unable to experience the Dovecot-sieve.
With focus on the above issue, my dovecot-conf has
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir mail_location = mbox:~/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u mail_plugin_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda mail_plugins = mail_plugins = cmusieve
With the above four (4) lines in the dovecot.conf the mail continues to find its way to /var/mail/user-name. After which I find this -- http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail which did not work for us. New mail continues to get delivered to /var/mail/user-name.
We find another resource of information to help get this working; http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2007-April/021448.html -- while it looks promising it opened up a whole new issue (see below) --not to mention it too was not able to deliver our mail to ~/Maildir ... mail continues to get delivered to /var/mail/usr-name.
ISSUE-1a: The following text was generated while trying to resolve issue-1 (above): The short version is after generating another hostname.cf 'plugins' and/or the plugin directory was not found during two (2) attempts of starting and restarting sendmail. On the third attempt the directory and its files were magically found; the plugin directory and its files were always there.

ISSUE-2: Next is the converting, and moving, of existing mail from /var/mail/<user-name> (file) to the newly generated ~/Maildir/folders. NOTE: I've seen a few files on or linked to the Dovecot wiki page but, I'm a bit reluctant to try them because of directions/instructions I followed in the past with regards to LDA/sendmail that appears to either be incorrect or the author assumes the reader has prior knowledge (we don't have this knowledge); in addition the article appeared to be Red Hat specific.
We would like to resolve all of the above with some level of authority. We are not programmers and can barely script so please go easy with the jargon/termonology
Apologies for the long wind.

Sendmail is performing a local delivery instead of invoking deliver. Remove the domain names from local-host-names.

Re: [Dovecot] TECRA-A9 -- devcot LDA/sendmai
The mail is not delivered to the ~/Maildir; mail continues to get delivered to /var/mail/<user-name>.
First thing first, if you're reading this section/msg of the original thread, please return to the initial/first message. To the author (SM sm@resistor.net) who offered the response about sendmails' local-host-names, how did you arrive at this? What does sendmails local-host-names have to do with local delivery once the MTA accepts the mail <-- perhaps that's a bit off-topic for this thread.
NO disrespect intended to -- SM In any case I had a strong feeling the resolve offered from SM
sm@resistor.net would'nt work and it didn't, but I can say "that I
tried it". With that being said, would someone please return to the
first message in this thread and provide an authoritive resolve to my issues; if
powssible. Thanks On Tue, Aug 19, 2008 at 10:43:14AM -0700, SM wrote: At 04:07 19-08-2008, dovecot@guice.ath.cx wrote: ISSUE-1: Unable to get new mail delivered to the Dovecot generated

The MTA (sendmail) generally accepts the mail and then passes it to the LDA if the recipient domain is listed in local-host-names or is in class {w}. In this case, the LDA used should be Dovecot's deliver. However, it won't work for local delivery, hence the mailertable hack.
You mentioned that mail is being delivered but the steps at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail don't work for you. As you have not provided any log extracts, I can only assume that sendmail is calling the LDA defined by local MAILER to deliver mail to the /var/mail/<user-name> mbox even though Dovecot's mail_location is set to maildir:~/Maildir only.

You are correct. Allow me to provide just a little more detail. We're assuming that dovecot.confs' 'Mail_location:' has nothing to do with the MTA handing off to the 'deliver' LDA. With that being said, no matter what the dovecot.confs' 'mail_location:' is set to, and with:
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/mailer/dovecot.m4 containing the following:
Mdovecot, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver, F=DFMPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=deliver -d $u
in addition to hostname.mc containing: MAILER(local) MAILER(smtp) MAILER(dovecot)
--or containing --
MAILER(smtp) MAILER(dovecot)
the local mailer continues to handle and send the mail to /var/mail/<user-name>. Yes we did create another hostname.cf. :=)

Well you can see 'Mailer(local)' is still in the loop (above)

Your domain is listed as local. It should not be there if you are using the /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file you generated. grep that file for DontProbeInterfaces.

In a prviooous thread you suggested that we use
define(confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES',True')dnl. When that line didn't
produce any positive results we removed it. Just before generating
this reply we ran a few more test after removing the only entry
"guice.ath.cx" from 'local-host-names'.
This is a clean install of FreeBSD and packages. No *configuration* files were merged in any way; /root, /usr/home/* and /var/mail/* were restored from a previous install.
It is going to be very interesting to see what is causing this issue.

I'm replying to two (2) messages herein ...
In response to 'Steffen Kaiser': I haven't found in the thread, why you don't use Deliver as local LDA?
MY_Reply 1): we're following a dovecot.org article; trying to figure out if its something we are doing incorrectly, or if there is an installation, or some other such issue.
'Steffen Kaiser'-- BTW: You've defined local_lmtp, why? My_Reply 1a): It, local_lmtp, was already in the default file and things were working.
----- In reply to 'SM resistor.net -----
If guice.ath.cx is listed in /etc/hosts, remove it from there and restart sendmail to test.

Mr. Kaiser,
I do appreciate your efforts and replies however, It appears your not reading the entire message thread. I posted the active lines in my hostname.mc. With that being said, your question of:
"> Do you have some Cw lines in sendmail.cf? Maybe OSTYPE(freebsd) "> adds them. "> For instance, there is always a Cwlocalhost line in my .cf file.
Has been answered.
Please continue to help us find out why the following:
Mdovecot, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver, F=DFMPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=deliver -d $u
If you're using sendmail.mc then put the lines above into a new file /usr/share/sendmail/cf/mailer/dovecot.m4 and put MAILER(dovecot) into your sendmail.mc
is not working for us.
The above can be found on: http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail

I use:
dnl -f $g -- sender
dnl -d $u -- destination user account name
dnl -m $h -- mailbox to deliver to (+detail part of address)
dnl -n -- don't create new mailbox
