I am pretty new to Dovecot and totally new to LMTP. I have normal delivery working but I am struggling with aliases. In my mail queue I am seeing things like: But in my /etc/aliases, I am aliasing clamav to nick and n...@mydomain.com is a valid mail box that can receive normal mail. The corresponding line in the mail log is: 2024-10-26T14:55:56.385500+01:00 mail-www dovecot: lmtp(1371485): Error: lmtp-server: conn unix:pid=1371484,uid=102 [1]: rcpt cla...@mydomain.com: Failed to initialize user: Mail access for users with UID 107 not permitted (see first_valid_uid in config file, uid from userdb lookup). How do I get round this issue? I can drop the minimum UID to 0, but then all system users are deemed valid for mail which is not true. None of them are.I think it is more common to have your MTA postfix/sendmail do the translation to aliases, so before you deliver it to lmtp. Maybe test if your MTA is indeed sending the alias sendmail -bvt...@example.com t...@example.com... deliverable: mailer esmtp, host example.com., usert...@example.com Something like this should show the alias.
Weird. root@mail-www:~# sendmail -bv n...@mydomain.com Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <root>. root@mail-www:~# sendmail -bv cla...@mydomain.com Mail Delivery Status Report will be mailed to <root>. But my aliases are: # See man 5 aliases for format postmaster: root clamav: nick # Webmin: Redirect root to nick root: nick 'newaliases' has been run and /etc/postfix/main.cf has the line: alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases _______________________________________________ dovecot mailing list -- dovecot@dovecot.org To unsubscribe send an email to dovecot-le...@dovecot.org
