I'm trying to phase out procmail and move to dovecot-sieve instead. It
ain't proving easy. I'll describe my setup:
- Centos 5.2 box with dovecot 1.1.4 and dovecot-sieve 1.1.6 from ATrpms.
- A single user account is used to store all our email (the account is
called maildb).
- Getmail is being used to fetch the email from various ISP mailboxes.
I want to deliver mail to different folders in maildb's Maildir/
depending on who the email is addressed to (the procmail recipes
currently do that).
- Getmail destination section looks like this:
[destination]
type = MDA_external
path = /usr/libexec/dovecot/deliver
arguments = ("-d", "maildb")
allow_root_commands = true
- When I run getmail I get this error in dovecot.log:
deliver(maildb): May 04 22:15:26 Error: Can't connect to auth server
at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory
It's true that I don't have a file called auth-master. I guess I
should have but until I started this dovecot-sieve work it was never a
problem. I have no idea what that file should look like. As I
installed from binary RPMs I would have thought one would have come
with the install.
Can anyone help?
Regards,
Phill
