hi all,

I'm new in dovecot, and i need to setup a machine that download emails from an external pop3 server, and delivers to my internal network via imap, for this , i want ( if possible ) to use fetchmail with the option mda to dovecot's deliver, because all user must be virtual users stored in a sqlite database, and my question is:

1- it is possible?? 2- theres a better way to do this?? 3- someone knows some howto about this configuration???

I do this... sort of....

fetchmail --> sendmail --> procmail --> mbox/maildir storage <--> imap <--> pc client

Hi Don Russel, thank you for you answer...

but , i do not want to use sendmail or postfix, this must be a a very small system, and users information is on sqlite base, that postfix or sendmail does not support, i want to deliver from fetchmail direct to deliver ( if its is possible ).

thanks... JC júnior

I use fetchmail's --mda option with deliver and sieve to push mail around with no issues.

Hi James , thanks for your answer....

This is axactly what i want ..... I using this line in /etc/fetchmailrc

poll pop.server.net protocol pop3 user "user1@server.net" there with password "foopass" mda "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -d mail -m /srv/mail/user1/"

Where /srv/mail/user1/ will be a maildir for user1, but user1 is not a system account, all maildirs is owned by mail user, and the user1 password is in a sqlite, but I have this error message:

"MDA retruned nonzero status 75"

Can you paste me you line???

Thanks for all ,

JC Júnior

Thank you James...

Sorry - mine is much less complicated. I'm just delivering to a local user.

poll bastion.org with proto POP3 user john there with pass password options fetchall mda "/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver"
