hi dovecot mailinglist
- Configuration
FreeBSD-9.3
sendmail -d0.1 == sendmail-8.14.9 <<--
dovecot --version == dovecot-2.2.15
# ===================================================================
# I'm trying to get sendmail to invoke dovecot.m4 ( dovecot-lda ) to
# deliver emails to dovecot's virtual users ( /etc/dovecot/passwd )
# or mysql/postgresql virtual users
#
#
# sendmail -bv dovecot.VirtualUser@localhost --> returns "User Unknown"
#
# cat test.msg.txt | dovecot-lda -d dovecot.VirtualUser ===> works
# email is delivered to dovecot.VirtualUser inbox
#
# ===================================================================
- there are tons of howto and comments for dovecot + postfix
and very little for dovecot + sendmail ... therefore, it'd be
great if we/i can get this dovecot.m4 problem resolved
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- status of what works and what does NOT work while testing dovecot's LDA ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# fyi.. recepient user is in the form of user, user@localhost and
u...@domain.com
#
sendmail -bv user.in/etc/passwd = deliverable
sendmail -bv user.in/etc/mail/virtusertable = deliverable to
sendmail virtual user
-->> sendmail -bv dovecot.user.in/dovecot/virtual.passwd.file == user
unknown
dovecot user user.in/etc/passwd == returns UID/GID/home/mailbox (
deliverable )
dovecot user dovecot.user == returns UID/GID/home/mailbox (
deliverable )
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# dovecot's LDA delivers the test email to the dovecot/mysql recepient
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
cat test-email-with-headers.txt | dovecot-lda -d dovecot.user ( email
delivered )
# ----------------------------------------------------------------

- dovecot has an example dovecot.m4 ... but it doesn't allow sendmail
