I'm getting: "Fatal: postmaster_address setting not given" errors in my log file dovecot ver: 1.2.12 Recently I tried to follow: http://postfixmail.com/blog/index.php/postfixadmin-on-ubuntu-9-10/ on ubuntu 10.10 (which works fine on ubunto 9.10) If you aren't going to follow the official docs, but some other howto, you should ask the other howto maintainer...

...

I note that in 10.10 their is no dovecot-postfix.conf so I made the appropriate changes to dovecot.conf instead and changed master.cf dovecot transport line since I saw someone recently had the same problem:

dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:mail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf -f ${sender} -d ${recipient}

I still have that problem however. Authentication seems ok but delivery fails. Any possibility of help on this one? dovecot -n output is generally mandatory when asking for help with your config...

But really you should be asking this question in an ubuntu support forum don't you think?

Thanks for reviewing.

As it turns out the problem I had was due to a difference in dovecot versions that I hadn't noticed. A section of the dovecot.conf file describing the LDA parameters in which the default #postmaster_address = postmaster@example.com became #postmaster_address = Which caused fatal failure and needed to be fixed. That's all. I doubt anyone else will have the same problem if they read the manual or google for a solution and find /this/ post.
