Hello,

I try to set up dovecot LDA with virtual domains/mailboxes to use sieve.

I use dovecot 1.0_rc7 with sieve dovecot-sieve-20060726 .

All datas about the virtual domains and mailboxes are stored in a mysql-database. And without using the LDA delifer agent, everything works fine.

But when I try to use LDA (even without sieve), I got a delivery failture.

I followed the wiki-howto http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA to set up LDA support and added

/etc/postfix/maser.cf:

# Dovecot LDA dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -d ${recipient}

/etc/postfix/main.cf: dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 virtual_transport = dovecot

for postfix.

In dovecot.conf I added:

auth default { # Space separated list of wanted authentication mechanisms: # plain login digest-md5 cram-md5 ntlm rpa apop anonymous gssapi mechanisms = plain login

# SQL database passdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql.conf for example args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf }

# SQL database userdb sql { # Path for SQL configuration file, see doc/dovecot-sql.conf for example args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf }

socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot-auth-master # use this for LDA, the dovecot-auth will NOT work mode = 0600 user = virtual #group = mail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + LDA user in this group } client { path = /var/run/dovecot-auth # use this for postfix mode = 0600 user = posfix # postfix user #group = mail # Or alternatively mode 0660 + postfix user in this group } } }

protocol lda { log_path = /var/tmp/dovecot-lda.log {

And in dovecot-sql

# Dataabase driver: mysql, pgsql driver = mysql

# Currently supported schemes include PLAIN, PLAIN-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, and CRYPT. default_pass_scheme = CRYPT #default_pass_scheme = PLAIN-MD5

# Database options connect = host=localhost dbname=$DB user=$USER password=$PASSWD

password_query = SELECT password FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1' user_query = SELECT maildir, 1002 AS uid, 1004 AS gid FROM mailbox WHERE username = '%u' AND active = '1'

# eof

But when I send a mail to a vitual user, I got the following log entries in mail.log:

Oct 11 08:40:38 server postfix/pipe[11673]: D39A5664420: to=zigulle@zigulle.de, relay=dovecot, delay=0.08, delays=0.06/0/0/0.03, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure)

and in /var/tmp/dovecot-lda.log: deliver(zigulle@zigulle.de): Error: userdb(zigulle@zigulle.de) didn't return a home directory

has anyone here a hint, where the Problem ist?
