step 2 is incorrect anyway
I'd like to know where it is incorrect since I am receiving mail using this method.
well, not much incorrect, anyway cyrus creates the socket as root, so no need to create the directory containing the socket as cyrus owned. if the socket went into /var/spool/postfix/private, method 2 could become: ---------------- 2) secure configuration
if you want only postfix to be able to talk to the lmtp socket you can use this configuration:
2.a) edit /etc/cyrus.conf and modify the lmtpunix line to use
a socket in the previously created directorylmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/spool/postfix/cyrus_socket" prefork 1
2.b) issue the command:
postconf -e "mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:private/cyrus_socket"
2.c) do not ever create a postfix service called cyrus_socket (unlikely you ever will)
--------------- this could be one of the paranoid settings, more restricted that having a nonchrooted privileged lmtp cyrus service as i propose in the postfix readme
what i would like is having one method chosen as the default, and having it autoconfigured by installation of the cyrus rpm.
regards, L.
