I have problem with delivery messages to cyrus mailbox by tmda.In my debug log I see :
<snippo>
Cyrus uses it's own delivery method to update all needed caches, check internal permissions, enforce quotas etc. Therefore, you should never deliver to the directories on your filesystem directly, but instead use the cyrus deliver binary, or use LMTP to deliver messages to cyrus.
DeliveryError: Destination "/data/cyrus/partition/user/test1" does not exist!
TMDA attempting to deliver into Cyrus directory structure will cause you a number of problems you don't even want to think about messing with.
Be sure to read the deliver manpage, and the cyrus documentation on this at:
http://datorn.e.kth.se/cgi-bin/man2html/mpkg/cyrus-imapd/2.1.9/man/man8/deliver.8
http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/cyrus-overview-TOC.html
Trying to circumvent these issues by using sudo to safely change the uid of the delivery process did not quite help either. Sudo seems to have an uncontrollable urge to only accept STDIN if it has a TTY allocated, which is clearly not the case in the mail delivery process.
Right now, I have the setup working in Postfix by creating a virtual domain, which is transport(5) 'd towards the Cyrus LMTP socket. Using the 'forward' delivery method as described in the incoming filter specification, you can hand messages to the Cyrus system by sending them to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm sure this can be done in a neater way than this, if anyone has any comments, feel free :D
Seasons greetings,
Nils.
