Hello,

I have to Install a Server with Postfix and Cyrus. I have asked Google, Books, but I some Help or some good hints.

The old Mail-System is a simple Setup with Sendmail with cyrus. Authentication via passwd. Using Group ACL via /etc/groups

The new Mail-System that i want to Setup have to do the same.
I have tried authentication via auxprop/postgresql but I can't find a hint how I can integrate Group ACL for Shared Folders in the Database.

So I want to "dublicate" the old Setup with postfix and cyrus. I want to use Shelluser because the sasldb doesn't Support Group ACL's. So Virtual User via cyrus doesn't make sense.

The Linux is the latest stable Debian 4.0r4a

So I have done the folowing Steps:

1. making the lmtp-socket public

lmtp      unix  n       -       n       -       -       lmtp

mx2:/etc/postfix# ls -l /var/spool/postfix/public/
insgesamt 0
srw-rw-rw- 1 postfix postdrop 0 2008-09-24 11:10 cleanup
srw-rw-rw- 1 postfix postdrop 0 2008-09-24 11:10 flush
srwxrwxrwx 1 root    postdrop 0 2008-09-24 11:10 lmtp
prw--w--w- 1 postfix postdrop 0 2008-09-24 12:06 pickup
prw--w--w- 1 postfix postdrop 0 2008-09-24 12:05 qmgr
srw-rw-rw- 1 postfix postdrop 0 2008-09-24 11:10 showq

2. Setup relay_domains (with postmap)

XXXXXXXX.XX lmtp:unix:public/lmtp

3. Setup cyrus.conf

lmtpunix       cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp" prefork=1

4. Setup imapd.conf

lmtpsocket: /var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp

In the log I get the following error message

postfix/qmgr[11463]: warning: connect to transport lmtp: Connection refused

The Parameter "defaultdomain:" isn't in use. but I will try it.
Also i will test to do the user postfix in the group postdrop.

I know there is another way with mail_transport to connect cyrus via lmtp.

I think the error is a silly thing, but i don't find is actually.

Sincerly
