Ok, debian, my thing.. ;-) Try :
Edit /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf To Change : protocols = imap lmtp And add: service lmtp { unix_listener /var/spool/postfix/private/dovecot-lmtp { group = postfix mode = 0600 user = postfix } } protocol lmtp { postmaster_address=postmas...@yourdomain.com hostname=mail.yourdomain.com } And in postfix main.cfg mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp Is this a setup with dovecot with sql? Then you need some extra things.
