As far as ls -la:

# ls -la /var/mail/wfoatst -rw------- 1 wfoatst users 1406 Sep 16 15:13 /var/mail/wfoatst #

As far as the LDA, I'm using the dovecot LDA. Here's the line from /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:

######################*****############## ### DOVECOT Mailer specification ### ##################*****################## Mdovecot, P=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver, F=DFMPhnu9, S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix, A=deliver -d $u

Hi Scott.

Thanks for the help! Appricate the feedback.

I reset the dovecot.conf. Here's the output of dovecot -n now:

# # 1.1.2: /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/ log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log ssl_disable: yes disable_plaintext_auth: no login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login login_executable: /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/imap-login auth default: verbose: yes passdb: driver: pam userdb: driver: passwd #

I'm still getting the same error as before:

ovecot: Sep 17 12:42:43 Info: imap-login: Login: user=<wfoatst>, method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured dovecot: Sep 17 12:42:43 Error: IMAP(wfoatst): mail_location not set and autodetection failed: Mail storage autodetection failed with home=/var/mail/wfoatst dovecot: Sep 17 12:42:43 Fatal: IMAP(wfoatst): Namespace initialization failed

Any more thoughts?

How about a "ls -la /var/mail/wfoatst"

What do you use for your LDA?
