A BUGNOTE has been added to this bug. ====================================================================== http://www.dbmail.org/mantis/bug_view_advanced_page.php?bug_id=0000127 ====================================================================== Reported By: sr Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: DBMail Bug ID: 127 Category: Documentation Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: feedback ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 29-Nov-04 12:21 CET Last Modified: 07-Dec-04 11:37 CET ====================================================================== Summary: Some Postfix conf issues not included Description: Hope I'm not missing something, but when configuring DBMail with LMTP over Postfix:
1) The following line needs to be added in main.cf mailbox_transport = dbmail-lmtp 2) If using postfix build >= 2.0, using mailbox_transport requires local_recipient_maps to be set to null: local_recipient_maps = as specified in http://www.postfix.org/LOCAL_RECIPIENT_README.html and in main.cf comments as well. 3) If the destinations specified in mydestination are not dns-resolvable, dns lookups should be disabled for the dbmail-lmtp service. The dbmail line in master.cf should therefore look like this: dbmail-lmtp unix - - n - - lmtp -o disable_dns_lookups=yes I think issue 1) at least should be included in the install.postfix file? ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ilja - 01-Dec-04 12:48 CET ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Issue 1 is covered in INSTALL.postfix quoting: " If you want to send all the email the MTA accepts to DBMail, use the following setting in /etc/postfix/transport: mailbox_transport = dbmail-lmtp:<host>:<port> " Issues 2 and 3 are useful for including in INSTALL.postfix. Could you write an updated version of INSTALL.postfix and send it to the list or attach it to this bug in the bug tracker? Thanks, Ilja ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sr - 01-Dec-04 15:32 CET ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, yes, the /etc/postfix/transport line is documented, but the main.cf one is not. Of course I will write a new INSTALL.postfix file. Just please confirm the above or point me to the bit I'm missing, and I will include the info in new file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ilja - 01-Dec-04 15:51 CET ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ah, I see the problem now. "/etc/postfix/transport" should read "/etc/postfix/main.cf" in that line.. My mistake. If you could correct this as well, I will be happy to commit your changes. :) Thanks, Ilja ---------------------------------------------------------------------- jnorell - 02-Dec-04 18:01 CET ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I've not set it up this way, but I believe you'd need to define dbmail-lmtp in master.cf, and either set "mailbox_transport = dbmail-lmtp" in main.cf (in which case your domains have to be in $mydestination), *or* put the domains in your transports map like: domain1.com dbmail-lmtp: domain2.com dbmail-lmtp: And then make sure that you define the transport map in main.cf, eg. with something like "transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport". In this latter setup, you can put your domains in $mydestination or $relay_domains. I think there are other ways to set it up, too (eg. use local_transport or virtual_transport, etc.), but let's not go there. :) As for local_recipient_maps, disabling them is one option - a preferrable option is to configure them to look at dbmail's aliases table, so you don't get so much email built up in your mail queue for bouncing mail to undeliverable addrs. There are examples in the mailing list archives, eg. http://mailman.fastxs.net/pipermail/dbmail/2003-September/003418.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sr - 02-Dec-04 23:27 CET ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What you point out is correct, we were focusing on missing issues. I didn't want to recompile postfix to include mysql support, and in that case you have to disable local_recipient_maps. Thanks for your insights anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sr - 05-Dec-04 15:53 CET ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ok, I will post the new and improved INSTALL.postfix file in a few days ---------------------------------------------------------------------- sr - 07-Dec-04 11:37 CET ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Here goes the file. I have added missing issues as discussed with ilja and jnorell. Run diff to see changes.
