Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot sieve with postfix.
Hi Ben,
Indeed, the mailq command shows my test messages sitting there with "mail
transport unavailable".

I checked in /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf and it shows destination d_mail
{ file("/var/log/mail.log"); }; but there is no such mail.log file so I
created one.
I logged in as mailman by doing su -s /bin/bash mailman then ran
/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f trus...@gmail.com -d

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot sieve with postfix.
Hi, I tried changing dovecot-lda to deliver in master.cf and also added the
acl plugin to the lda protocol like yours. It still won't work though.

Re: [Dovecot] Dovecot sieve with postfix.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm new to all this. How can I tell if postfix is deferring messages, or if it thinks they've been delieverd? Where is the postfix log? How do I feed a message to dovecot-lda manually, as mailman? How do I use LMTP instead of LDA? */#!/*JoePea On Mon, Nov 19, 2012 at 8:47 AM, Ben Morrow wrote: > At 6AM -0800 on 19/11/12 you (/#!/JoePea) wrote: > > > > I can't get dovecot working with postfix.
