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.
OK I checked the table info in mysql. It says under the 'mailbox'
table that the username is du...@baldtel.com and that the domain is
baldtel.com. Shouldn't the username field be duane? Based on the
messages I have above, it seems this may be causing the problem. If
that is the case, how would I change what is inserted into the table?
I am using postfixadmin to create users. Does this mean it would be a
matter of changing files related to postfixadmin, or is there still a
place in dovecot configurations where I would need to change something?
Still having the same problem.
I checked some things to try and find reasons it may not be delivering
the mail.
In my dovecot-postfix.conf mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%n
I looked in that directory and found that for the user du...@baldtel.com
the directory for new mail is
/var/vmail/baldtel.com/duane/new/
If I touch a file in that directory, the client downloads it as an email.
It seems that the issue is that dovecot isn't putting messages in this
directory.
Any ideas where it could be failing to perform that task? Maybe where it
needs to actually tell dovecot to perform this command.
The mail shouldn't be stored in the SQLdb right? It should be sent to
that folder right?
