hi steffen
- thanx for your reply
sendmail-8.15.1 + dovecot-2.2.15 + OpenSSL is working ..
my sendmail is also configured for smtp-auth and saslauth
and seems to work with dovecot
one other thing to note, sendmail requires CA signed *.pem certs
vs self-signed ... in my case, dovecot uses the same *.pem certs
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/other/cagreg.html

# dovecot.user is only defined in /etc/dovecot/passwd
#
# echo test mail | mail -v dovecot.u...@vmail.example.com
# echo test mutt | mutt -s mutt dovecot.u...@vmail.example.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

1) is the virtual domain a local name?
http://compgroups.net/comp.mail.sendmail/sendmail-dovecot-mailertable-and-passwd-li/1316451
http://www.dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2010-June/049500.html
it turns out, the hostname must NOT be listed in /etc/mail/local-host-names
and that it still must resolve ( /etc/hosts )
2) your mailer is named dovecot, therefore the mailertable entry in the
Wiki:
virtualdomain.example.com vmail:vmail
and again, virtualdomain -- should NOT be listed in /etc/mail/local-host-names
- when i removed it from local-host-names, things started be more debuggable
and fixed
yup
virtualdomain.example.com dovecot:dovecot
(2nd dovecot has no meaning, but there must be present something)
yup
3) Post a sensable output:
echo '3,0 dovecotuser@dovecot.domain' | sendmail -bt -d21.4
it's working ... other sendmail tests ...
# sendmail -d60.5 -d27.2 -bv dovecot.user
# dovecot.user... User unknown
#
# sendmail -d60.5 -d27.2 -bv dovecot.user@fake
# dovecot.yser@fake... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host fake, user
dovecot.plain@fake
#
# sendmail -d60.5 -d27.2 -bv dovecot.user
# # -d60.5 should trace map lookups (including mailertable)
# # -d27.2 should trace alias expansion
#
# echo '3,0 dovecot.user@localhost ' | sendmail -bt -d21.12 -d60.5
# # -d60.5 tracking maps (virtusertable) lookups
# # -d21.12 tracking processing of R lines in sendmail.cf
#
# sendmail -d27.2 -bv dovecot.user
# # -d27.2 tracking processing of aliases
#
# sendmail -Am -bv dovecot.user@vmail /dev/null
# echo '3,0 dovecot.u...@vmail.example.com' | sendmail -Am -bv
dovecot.u...@vmail.example.com
# dovecot.u...@vmail.example.com.. deliverable: mailer dovecot, host
vmail, user dovecot.u...@vmail.example.com
4) there had been a post about trying to improve virtual user support in
sendmail incl. some ongoing talk. Maybe you find it and get some info back
into this list.
few posts showed another sendmail file that needs to be configured
/etc/mail/access
# vmail must be defined in /etc/hosts ... NOT listed in local-host-named
To: vmail.example.com RELAY
dovecot user dovecot.user == returns UID/GID/home/mailbox (
deliverable )
these are good tests to show dovecot is able to deliver its emails
in my case, dovecot resolves users in /etc/passwd, /etc/mail/virtusertable,
/etc/dovecot/password
and hopefully, it will also resolve /usr/local/mysql database users
#
# 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 )
these are good tests to show dovecot is able to deliver its emails
