Hi,
I am a bit further, at least I get an error now when delivery fails:
(from /var/log/mail)
Oct 20 17:05:10 callisto postfix/pipe[22169]: B9BC918065:
to=<raim...@zg.huaweil.org>, relay=cyrus, delay=515,
delays=515/0.06/0/0.07, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure.
Command output: couldn't connect to lmtpd: Connection refused_ 421 4.3.0
deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd_ )
I put the lmtp pipe in /var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp and have
corresponding config file entries:
/etc/cyrus.conf:
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp" prefork=1
/etc/postfix/main.cf:
mailbox_transport = cyrus:unix:/var/spool/postfix/public/lmtp
Could it be that lmtpd is a program that I am missing? There no such
program installed on my box and there not even a package providing it!
Permissions along the path to the lmtp pipe are 777 to make sure everyone
can write/read it.
Any further hints would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Raimund
