Yes, postfix calls a wrapper. The wrapper is a shell script that calls deliver. This is the wrapper. $LOGNAME comes from postfix, it's a built in variable it populates as the local username: #!/bin/sh DELIVER=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver DATE=`date` echo "==" >> /tmp/foo.txt echo $DATE >> /tmp/foo.txt echo $USER >> /tmp/foo.txt $DELIVER -d "$LOGNAME" echo $DATE >> /tmp/foo.txt > > However, although I have LDA debug logging on, and it > > DID log prior to this, when postfix supposedly calls deliver, dovecot > > does NOT log anything. > > ...and LDA (called from the wrapper) doesn't run (or doesn't run to the > point of logging anything). Well, it's hard for me to tell. I know for sure that the wrapper ran, as I get my temp log does get the tiemstamp that's before/after deliver. However, I guess I dont know the best way to log the output/exit status of the deliver command. > > It DOES however log if I call deliver from any > > account (root or not) from the command line (ls / | /path/to/deliver > > -d localaccountname).

I would up the verbosity of the wrapper (f.ex. > putting a couple of line 'which /path/to/deliver' or 'ldd /path/to/deliver' > - -- or even 'strace /path/to/deliver'). Something in the environment must > be different to the command lines, right? Hmm, perhaps I should somehow log the entire status of SETENV or something. What I probably really need to do is figure out the appropriate pipes after the deliver line to find out if it's spitting anything back to stderr or something. This is usually.. >> 2&1 or something similar? Anyone have suggestions for that? --falz
