I've added some more information. This is the error.
2010-07-18T03:15:55.870734+02:00 h1690529 postfix/pipe[20360]: CC8F2AEC087:

dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure)
I don't have any clue what this warning/error means.
I was 'playing' with /etc/postfix/master.cf.
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d
${us...@${nexthop}
I've tried several parameters like -d <username>, -m <mailbox> or -d
${user}.

to=<t...@domain.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.04, delays=0.01/0.01/0/0.01,
dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered via dovecot service)
It looks like it was delivered properly, but it wasn't. I was written to
/home/vmail/Maildir instead of /home/vmail/test/Maildir. All incoming e-mail
was delivered to /home/vmail/Maildir if i used deliver -d <username> -m
<mailbox>
My LDAP tree looks like this and it's very simple.
dc=domain,dc=com
+contacts (Thunderbird contacts)
+groups (mainly Posix groups for applications)
+users (real users and mailing lists)
So the DN of the user 'test' is uid=test,ou=users,dc=domain,dc=com
I want e-mail sent to t...@domain.com or for example test.test.t...@domain
being delivered in the maildir of the user 'test'.
I'm almost sure it has something to do with the deliver parameters. What can
it be?
I'm planning to build a new server. I've done it before. Everytime I make
the same mistake again. That's something what I want to prevent.
Thanks again in advance,
Frank

I want to setup Dovecot LDA, but I don't understand what I'm doing
anymore.
I have to note that I'm a Linux beginner. I've been trying now for
several
months and I'm about to give up. Till so far I'm having no result. :-(
My current setup is done as described at http://www.linuxmail.info. We
use
Postfix 2.3.3 (with Postgrey, Spamassassin and ClamAV), Dovecot 1.2.11
and
OpenLDAP 2.4.1 on CentOS 5.5. All incoming e-mail are delivered by
Postfix
in the users' maildir. We use this as a base for SOGo, our groupware
solution and it runs smoothly.
I have to setup a new mailserver, because we're standardising on Debian.
My
employer wants to have new functions like out-of-office-replies and
forwarding. I want to make use of sieve. Unfortunately I don't know
anyone
who can help me.
If you would like to use Sieve you should use the Dovecot LDA instead
of the Postfix LDA "virtual". You can also use the ManageSieve service
so that users can create their own Sieve scripts. Some clients
supports it like Horde Ingo, Thunderbird with plugin...
When you use Debian (Lenny) you should use Dovecot from backports
(current: 1.2.11) instead of the stable repository.
The Postfix version that comes with Debian Lenny (2.5.5) is OK so it's
not needed to update.
I think the easiest way to implement the Dovecot LDA is to use
virtual_transport or transport_maps if you use "virtual" users or
within mailbox_command for system users - but this depends on your
environment/configuration.
My problem is that I don't understand how the delivery process is
working.
I've read much documentation from Postfix and Dovecot, but I find it too
difficult to understand.
Hmm, there's not much to say about that... If you use virtual_tranport
or transport_maps then Postfix sends the mail to the Dovecot LDA. The
Dovecot LDA handles further delivery of the mail.
What do I understand? I know that I have to make changes in /etc/dovecot,
/etc/postfix/main.cf and /etc/postfix/master.cf as described at
http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA.
For Postfix all relevant informations are here:
