Hi,

I have a Centos 5 system with sendmail running as my MTA.

Normally I note from sendmail logs that mails get delivered using the local' mailer.

I have therefore entered the following into my sendmail.mc file, from an earlier post on this list:

define(LOCAL_MAILER_PATH',/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver') define(LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS',DFMPhfnu9') define(LOCAL_MAILER_ARGS',deliver -d $u')

However, when sendmail tries to use deliver I just get this message:

Feb 13 15:37:23 gate sendmail[1399]: p1DEWtc2021995: to=<user@example.org>, delay=00:04:28, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=121665, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: local mailer (/usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver) exited with EX_TEMPFAIL

I've tried to get better logging by putting the following in 15-lda.conf in /etc/dovecot/conf.d:

protocol lda { postmaster_address = postmaster@example.org auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mail_plugins = sieve mail_location = maildir:~/.maildir log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log }

I find nothing gets written to the log file, even if I make it a world writable file.

Does anyone have any ideas? What are the best steps to get more information troubleshooting?

Try procmail_local recipe at http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA/Sendmail [ IMHO third line is not necessary ]

FEATURE(local_procmail', /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver',/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d $u') MODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(LOCAL', `-f')

Thanks, that at least seems to implement and create a sendmail.cf that accepts email. I will have to do some more testing to check that it is actually using dovecots deliver, but it is a start!

Sorry for the long time in replying, but I've been working on other projects.
