Maybe run 'smtpd -dv -T expand -T lookup -T rules' and see how OpenSMTPD
is translating the aliases and which rules it's matching etc.
This is a really helpful command. Maybe using that I can be a bit more
precise in defining my confusion.
My simple setup, git pulled and build yesterday:
action "deliver" lmtp "/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp" rcpt-to user lmtpd
match from any for domain "example.com" rcpt-to <musers> action deliver
With "musers" only containing good ole [email protected] and "lmtpd" being
a regular system user. Bob is not known to the system. And shall not.
Now, the man page reads:
user username
Specify the username for performing the delivery, to be looked up with
getpwnam(3).
and:
userbase <table>
Use the mapping table for user lookups instead of the getpwnam(3) function.
->The userbase does not apply for the user option.<-
So my "user" attribute is lmtpd, a regular system user. But:
af0267593be5b0a1 smtp connected address=....
expand: 0x5598b9f68328: expand_insert() called for
address:[email protected][parent=(nil), rule=(nil)]
expand: 0x5598b9f68328: inserted node 0x5598b9f6a020
expand: lka_expand: address: [email protected] [depth=0]
lookup: match "1.2.3.4" as NETADDR in table static:<anyhost> -> true
lookup: match "example.com" as DOMAIN in table static:<dynamic:0> -> true
lookup: match "[email protected]" as MAILADDR in table static:musers -> true
rule #1 matched: match from any for domain <dynamic:0> rcpt-to musers
action deliver
expand: 0x5598b9f68328: expand_insert() called for
username:bob[parent=0x5598b9f6a020, rule=0x5598b9f77e30,
dispatcher=0x5598b9f79750]
expand: 0x5598b9f68328: inserted node 0x5598b9f6a580
expand: lka_expand: username: bob [depth=1, sameuser=0]
lookup: lookup "bob" as USERINFO in table getpwnam:<getpwnam> -> none
expand: lka_expand: user-part does not match system user
expand: 0x5598b9f68328: clearing expand tree
af0267593be5b0a1 smtp failed-command command="RCPT TO:<[email protected]>"
result="550 Invalid recipient: <[email protected]>"
The problem is obviously: "lookup "bob" as USERINFO in table
getpwnam:<getpwnam> -> none"
Now the local delivery should be done with the user lmtpd, why is user
"bob" then looked up at all via USERINFO getpwman, instead of lmtpd,
when userinfo shall not be used with the "user" attribute.
Wether "userbase" is invoked via getpwnam or a USERINFO table, should
make no difference? It should not be used, when the "user" attribute is
being used?
Automagically I should add, I have not defined the userbase parameter
anywhere in my config.
Hopefully I've been able to narrow down my lack of comprehention. There
is something in the manpage I get wrong.
Thanks
