Question: if you use an alternate location for the config file, and
start dovecot with that config file properly, does plain 'dovecot -n'
output what is in the config file that is in use? Or the one in the
default location?
It's the default location:
t...@mail2:~$ pgrep -lf dovecot
28900 /usr/sbin/dovecot -c /etc/dovecot/dovecot-postfix.conf
28901 dovecot-auth
t...@mail2:~$ dovecot -n
# 1.1.11: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
Error: Can't open configuration file /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf: No such
file or directory
Fatal: Invalid configuration in /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
t...@mail2:~$
Ouch... that adds a big wrinkle to troubleshooting, especially if a file
*does* exist at the default location...
Ok I have a new development.
When I try to send to a user in my domain from a domain other than my
own I get an error.
For example, I sent to du...@baldtel.com from an external address. The
server returned the error 'user duane does not exist' in the form of an
undeliverable bounce back email.
When I configure outlook for the user and when I log in on telnet, I
have to use du...@baldtel.com as the user to log into the server. I
assume this means that the username is actually 'du...@baldtel.com'
rather than duane. I know that when I usually set up pop3 in outlook
with other servers I would just put the part before the @ on the email
into the server information field (user/pass). This means that with
other servers the username actually would have been duane usually.
I only get this message back when sending from another server. When I
send from my server, the email appears to have gone out. It just never
arrives.
