I am building a mailsystem that uses postfix as MTA. I am having great difficulties getting postfix to use lmtp. Things are working if I use deliver:
master.cf: cyrus unix - n n - - pipe flags= user=cyrus argv=/usr/local/cyrus/bin/deliver -r ${sender} -m ${extension} ${user} main.cf: mailbox_transport = cyrus If I try to configure lmtp things go very wrong. The default install results in a permission problem vith the parent directories for the socket. If I get this out of the way by doing chmod 777 /var/imap I am still getting errors. cyrus.conf: lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0 master.cf: lmtp unix - - n - - lmtp main.cf: mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp mail.log: Oct 19 10:45:18 yoda postfix/local[31445]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/lmtp socket while reading input attribute name Oct 19 10:45:18 yoda postfix/local[31445]: warning: private/lmtp socket: malformed response Oct 19 10:45:18 yoda postfix/local[31447]: warning: premature end-of-input on private/lmtp socket while reading input attribute name Oct 19 10:45:18 yoda postfix/local[31447]: warning: private/lmtp socket: malformed response Oct 19 10:45:18 yoda postfix/master[31283]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp pid 31453 killed by signal 11 Oct 19 10:45:18 yoda postfix/master[31283]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp: bad command startup -- throttling Oct 19 10:45:18 yoda postfix/master[31283]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/lmtp pid 31452 killed by signal 11 Any ideas where I might be going wrong? This is on Debian/Sarge with the current postfix Debian package installed and the latest cyrus-sasl and cyrus-imapd build from source.
