<p>can you point me to an url regarding LTMP between postfix and
dovecot? it might be an area worth exploring for me.</p>

<p>Well, I don't know about yuuuge security risk (not saying
there isn't any...), but if this concerns you, you can also
use LTMP instead, which is probably a better solution here.<br>

<p>yeah, the only problem about that is it's a yuuuge security
risk :), and also, postfix simply won't let me:</p>
<p>Jul 31 02:20:37 rhyno postfix/pipe[29532]: fatal: user=

</p>
<p>so it's entirely possible i'm knocking on the wrong door,
and instead i should be asking this in the postfix mailing
list.</p>
<p>however, i'm also worried about this: "to bypass this
check, set: service auth { unix_listener
/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb { mode=0777 } }", as i have
done what it says, and the check wasn't bypassed so i'm wary
about something bad coming up once i somehow fix this
initial UID problem.</p>

<div><br>

hi,<br>
<br>
contacting this mailing list is my last-ditch effort to
somehow come to <br>
a working configuration where postfix "ends in" dovecot, IE
for special <br>
LDAP-based users, featured in the virtual mailbox delivery,
dovecot <br>
would act as LDA.<br>
<br>
here's the deal.<br>
<br>
i've set up dovecot's access to the LDAP server, and for the
purposes of <br>
being an IMAP server and a SASL auth backend, dovecot works
brilliantly <br>
and without a glitch. i can access my test mailbox (in
maildir format), <br>
i can use the LDA as root and it delivers the message
correctly (after a <br>
switch to the target user's UID), and even postfix's
submission works <br>
with dovecot as its SASL backend.<br>
<br>
what does not work is dovecot as LDA from postfix.<br>
<br>
i'm getting these errors in the log:<br>
<br>
Jul 31 03:40:40 rhyno dovecot: lda(aik): Error: user aik:
Auth USER <br>
lookup failed<br>
Jul 31 03:40:40 rhyno dovecot: auth: Error: userdb(aik):
client doesn't <br>
have lookup permissions for this user: userdb uid (10001)
doesn't match <br>
peer uid (5000) (to bypass this check, set: service auth {
unix_listener <br>
/var/run/dovecot/auth-userdb { mode=0777 } })<br>
Jul 31 03:40:40 rhyno dovecot: lda: Fatal: Internal error
occurred. <br>
Refer to server log for more information.<br>
<br>
for the sake of clarity, i've tried the "to bypass this
check" <br>
instructions, didn't help.<br>
<br>
also, for the sake of operational clarity, "aik" is the LDAP
account <br>
with the following parameters:<br>
<br>
dn: uid=aik,ou=People,dc=rhyno,dc=tech<br>
objectClass: account<br>
objectClass: posixAccount<br>
objectClass: postfixUser<br>
cn: aik<br>
uid: aik<br>
uidNumber: 10001<br>
gidNumber: 10001<br>
homeDirectory: /home/aik<br>

mailacceptinggeneralid: @rhyno.tech<br>
mailacceptinggeneralid: @rhynotechnologies.com<br>
maildrop: aik<br>
<br>
and postfix's master.cf says:<br>
<br>
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe<br>
flags=ODRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
-e -f <br>
${sender} -d ${user}<br>
<br>
so i'm stuck at this point. obviously, if the LDA is spawned
with <br>
vmail:vmail perms, it cannot become uid 10001 (btw, the LDAP
and passwd <br>
accounts were once connected, but for security reasons, the
connection <br>
has been severed -- still the /home/aik/mail dir is owned by
uid 10001 etc).<br>
<br>
what am i doint wrong?<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
