[Dovecot] Dovecot lda woes

[DiskMan]

Did you give this a try? I might have missed one of your previous emails...

http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA#head-d8481a6e7656846defee801720e6df7015516e8e

Now add a

virtualdomain.tld dovecot:dovecot

    *

      line for each virtual domain to mailertable.cf and run makemap. The
dovecot (or some other random text) after the colon character is required or
sendmail will fail to pass command arguments to deliver correctly. Make sure
all the virtual domains are in the virtuserdomains file.

Be aware that sendmail logs stat=unknown mailer error 89 if deliver returns
any unusual error. This message confuses and can lead one to believe
sendmail is failing to find the deliver executable. Rather it means the
error is unknown.

Having some painful problems with the dovecot lda and getting it to 
(a).  Just work
(b).  Work with sendmail


This is how I have dovecot setup (appropriate dovecot.conf snippets
included)

protocol lda {

	module_dir = /usr/local/lib/dovecot/lda
	postmaster_address = postmaster at bradphinney.com
	auth_socket_path = /var/run/dovecot-auth-master
}

auth default {

....
	# passwd-like file with specified location
  	passdb passwd-file {
    	# Path for passwd-file
    	args = /etc/dovecot-passdb 
  	}


 	userdb static {
   		args = uid=500 gid=500 home=/var/mail/%u
mail=mbox:/export/dovecot/%d/%u/ nice=10 	 
    }	
  ...
  }


Here is what deliver is set up as

-rwsr-sr-x  1 dovecot dovecot 2070623 Feb 19 18:22 deliver*


I drop sendmail into debugging mode so I can at least see if it is
resolving the address correctly.  Here is my mailertable entries :

testdomain1.com dovecot:dovecot


I fire up sendmail. telnet to port 25 and see if I cant get some mail
delivered.  

Here is what sendmail spits out

Feb 20 18:54:18 titan sendmail[6475]: k1KNqWti006459:
to=<echo at testdomain1.com>, delay=00:01:16, xdelay=00:00:00,
mailer=dovecot, pri=120016, relay=dovecot, dsn=5.3.0, stat=unknown
mailer error 89


Not good.  On a hunch .. I change the permissions on the dovecot log to
be 777.  Now .. I get a different error ..




Feb 20 18:12:14 titan sendmail[6014]: k1KNBQ1e006006:
to=<echo at testdomain1.com>, delay=00:00:03, xdelay=00:00:00,
mailer=dovecot, pri=120012, relay=dovecot, dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred:
dovecot mailer (/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver) exited with
EX_TEMPFAIL



Any ideas ?
