Good day all,
[Dovecot version 1.2.1]
I've set up postfix and dovecot on Centos. I have a problem with the
mail, it is begin received but not "processed" by dovecot. I've looked
in the maillog file and found two problems; the first is that
private/dovecot directory (I think it should be a directory) did not
exist and the second problem is "mail transport unavailable".
private/dovecot is typically dovecot authentication socket for SMTP
AUTH. deliver doesn't need it.
I've create a directory called /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot but I
get the following error in the log file: Connection refused (Is this an
ownership issue? I've made the owner postfix)
As for the second problem, I've spend the most of the past 3 days
googling the error and found very little "useful" information.
Do I need to supply more info?
Yeah. Postfix configuration, dovecot -n output and exact log messages
what happens when you try to deliver a mail.
