Hi guys,
Been fighting with postfix+vda/dovecot/
My postfix delivers the emails to /vmail/ which is owned by user
maild:users 501(uid):100(gid) without any problems.
When I...
# telnet localhost 110
+OK Dovecot ready.
user samichand
+OK
pass wordpass
+OK Logged in.
-ERR [IN-USE] Couldn't open INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer to
server log for more information. [2007-09-05 16:32:52]
Connection closed by foreign host.
I get...
Sep 5 16:32:52 mail dovecot: pop3-login: Login: user=<samichand>,
method=PLAIN, rip=127.0.0.1, lip=127.0.0.1, secured

Sep 5 16:32:52 mail dovecot: POP3(samichand): Couldn't open INBOX
top=0/0, retr=0/0, del=0/0, size=0
In my mail log.
Below is my dovecot.conf
mail:/ # cat /usr/local/etc/dovecot.conf
base_dir = /var/run/dovecot/
protocols = imap pop3
listen = *
disable_plaintext_auth = no
ssl_disable = yes
mail_location = maildir:/vmail/%u/Maildir
mail_debug = yes
protocol imap {
}
protocol pop3 {
pop3_uidl_format = %v.%u
}
protocol lda {
postmaster_address = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
}
auth default {
mechanisms = plain
passdb shadow {
}
userdb passwd {
}
user = root
}
dict {
}
plugin {
}
If I change the ownership on the Maildir to the user:users then I can
log in, but then postfix doesn't deliver successfully.
I need to set the mail user that dovecot uses to access the maildir to
the same uid that postfix uses, how can I do this, I've read the wiki
over and over and although it says you can do it, I don't know how.
Taken from the WIKI...
http://wiki.dovecot.org/UserIds#mailusers
Virtual users where all Dovecot users run under a single system user,
for example vmail (just NOT dovecot).
Also taken from WIKI
http://wiki.dovecot.org/VirtualUsers
You can create for example one vmail user which owns all the mails, or
you can assign a separate UID for each user. See UserIds#mailusers for
more information about different ways to allocate UIDs for users.
All I want is to be able to access the mail, with the same my
"virtual_uid_maps = static:501"(set in my postfix main.cf)
All of these say it can be done, but how do I do it?
Please could someone assist me :(
Thanks.
Neil
