This is with a cleaned alias file:
nuc# grep farid /etc/mail/aliases
root: farid
manager: farid
dumper: farid
And now I realize that we are onto something...
nuc# cat /etc/dovecot/conf.d/auth-passwdfile.conf.ext
# Authentication for passwd-file users. Included from 10-auth.conf.
#
# passwd-like file with specified location.
# <doc/wiki/AuthDatabase.PasswdFile.txt>
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = scheme=blf-crypt /etc/mail/passwd
}
userdb {
args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/var/vmail/%d/%n
driver = static
}
nuc#
I had forgotten that I had my dovecot setup like that.
I set it up that way so that I can have e-mail users that are not system
users.
nuc# grep farid /etc/mail/passwd
[email protected]:$2b$09$xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.::::::
I'm not able to receive external e-mails to [email protected] with this:
action lmtp-local lmtp "/var/dovecot/lmtp" alias <aliases>
But I can receive with this:
action lmtp-local lmtp "/var/dovecot/lmtp" rcpt-to
nuc# cat /etc/mail/domains
example.com
nuc.example.com
