[Dovecot] Freebsd 4 error DSN stat=Service Unavailable after dovecot install
Hello everyone, I am getting an error message on FreeBSD 4 after I install dovecot. To start off, I create two regular users, testuser and testuser1.
I send each user emails then I install dovecot. After installing dovecot I set up the users in Maildir format then proceed to send them emails and here is what shows up in the maillogs: Email to testuser3 - Mar 29 22:34:52 myserver sendmail[4379]: l2TMYqwj004379: from=root, size=54, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=200703292234.l2TMYqwj004379@myserver.vwh.net, relay=r oot@localhost Mar 29 22:34:52 myserver sm-mta[4380]: l2TMYqMi004380: from=root@myserver.vwh.net, size=342, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200703292234.l2TMYqwj004379@myserver .vwh.net>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA-v4, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1] Mar 29 22:34:52 myserver sendmail[4379]: l2TMYqwj004379: to=testuser3@myserver.vwh.net, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pr i=30054, relay=localhost..

Here is what the user looks like in /etc/passwd: testuser3:*:2400:2400:My very own test user:/home/testuser3:/sbin/nologin
For the other users that have shell access, they don't get this problem. It seems to be only the users with no shell. Does anybody know of a fix for this problem?

Apart from your outdated FreeBSD installation (consider updating to 6.2), what you are seeing is not a Dovecot problem - all your sendmail and sm-mta logs are Sendmail issues.

Hi Bob,
You might get a response if you provided a bit more info that might help, like, maybe...
dovecot version
dovecot -n output
Since dovoecot isn't an smtp server, and what you have is a delivery problem, assuming that you had done enough troubleshooting to lead you to believe this was a dovecot problem, you would also want to provide some details on the smtp server and config.
The only reason I can think of that you might think this might be a dovecot issue is:
are you using dovecot LDA?
Otherwise, this would be an issue with your smtp server.
From the logs below, it looks to me like you don't have your delivery mechanism set up properly (sm-mta - service unavailable), but since you didn't provide any details whatsoever about your environment, all anyone can do is guess...

Thanks for the quick replies. I realize that some things might be seemingly out of date, but I have all the recent security patches loaded, etc. I realize that the error "appears" to be a sendmail issue, however, the error only manifests itself after I install dovecot. I only see the problem with the people who have no shell. The reason why I am writing to this list and not the sendmail list is because the problems only happen with dovecot installed. I can send and receive mail just fine before dovecot is installed. The problem doesn't happen on my FreeBSD 6 boxes, but I don't have the luxury of upgrading the FreeBSD 4 boxes.
Here's a printout of my dovecot -n: # /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf protocols: imap imaps pop3 pop3s disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login login_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3-login verbose_proctitle: yes first_valid_gid: 0 mail_extra_groups: mail mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir mail_executable(default): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(imap): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap mail_executable(pop3): /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/pop3 mail_plugin_dir(default): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(imap): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/imap mail_plugin_dir(pop3): /usr/local/lib/dovecot/pop3 imap_client_workarounds(default): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(imap): delay-newmail outlook-idle netscape-eoh tb-extra-mailbox-sep imap_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-idle pop3_uidl_format(default): pop3_uidl_format(imap): pop3_uidl_format(pop3): %08Xu%08Xv pop3_client_workarounds(default): pop3_client_workarounds(imap): pop3_client_workarounds(pop3): outlook-no-nuls oe-ns-eoh auth default: passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd

Any help would be appreciated. Never mind, I found out the problem to be sendmail. The version I have just doesn't work well with this setup. Upgrading to the latest version of sendmail fixed my problem. Thanks!
