Hi Keith,
I re-checked everything as you suggested, but it didn't help.
There are still something missing.
Anyway, I know that the mysql part is working.
When I give the following command, root's mailbox can be copied to the
database:
'cat /var/spool/mail/root | formail -s /root/dbmail-2.0.0/dbmail-smtp -u
root'
Now, I'm planning to remove everything, and then start from the very
beginning.
Do you know any documentation addres about dbmail other than dbmail.org?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
I'm new to the list, and dbmail.
I tried to configure my system with Suse 9.1, postfix, and mysql 4.0.18.
I have a dynamic ip address.
I followed the required steps in the INSTALL document.
Everything looks normal, but my incoming mails (both from local, and
remote)
don't go to the database.
I can reach them with mail or pine.
What should I do?

Double check the postfix install instruction regarding setting up the
transport file. Don't forget to run postmap on it.
6. Configure your MTA
-- MTA installation for postfix --
In the master.cf file for postfix add the following:
dbmail unix - n n - - pipe
flags= user=dbmail:dbmail
argv=/usr/local/sbin/dbmail-smtp -d ${recipient}
at the user= field you can add any user that is allowed to run
dbmail-smtp.
I suggest adding a user dbmail with a group dbmail and have
all dbmail programs
be run by that user. The dbmail daemons (pop and imap) will
drop their root
priviledges to the user which is defined in /etc/dbmail.conf.
and insert into the /etc/postfix/transport file
<domain> dbmail:
for all domains you want dbmail to be destination for.
Next run postmap /etc/postfix/transport
Edit /etc/postfix/main.cf and add the line
transport_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/transport
do a postfix reload and if everything goes well
mail should be delivered to dbmail. If not, try running
postfix with the -v option to see what's going on. If the
problem seems to be in dbmail, try changing the tracelevel in
dbmail.conf.
Tracelevel 5 will return a lot of debugging information.
