I'm trying to phase out procmail and move to dovecot-sieve instead. It ain't proving easy. I'll describe my setup:
Centos 5.2 box with dovecot 1.1.4 and dovecot-sieve 1.1.6 from ATrpms.
A single user account is used to store all our email (the account is called maildb).
Getmail is being used to fetch the email from various ISP mailboxes. I want to deliver mail to different folders in maildb's Maildir/ depending on who the email is addressed to (the procmail recipes currently do that).
Getmail destination section looks like this: [destination] type = MDA_external path = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver arguments = ("-d", "maildb") allow_root_commands = true
When I run getmail I get this error in dovecot.log: deliver(maildb): May 04 22:15:26 Error: Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory
It's true that I don't have a file called auth-master. I guess I should have but until I started this dovecot-sieve work it was never a problem. I have no idea what that file should look like. As I installed from binary RPMs I would have thought one would have come with the install.
Can anyone help?
