I have it working now.
Some notes for the next guy.
Install dbmail from a scratch install of
debian. DO NOT use virtualmin/usermin.
Also, the reason I had so much trouble was
because I was using the install notes on
the website which are different from the
postfix install notes in the package.
I'm using debian squeeze, and the release
of dbmail is 2.2.11-1+b1. With this release,
the instruction are to put in mailbox_transport=;
and the website instructions are to put in
virtual_transport=.
People should be instructed to use the install
notes that come with the package and NOT
to use the notes online unless they have the
very latest version to which they apply.
One other thing, none of the documentation
tells you that you need to start dbmail, or the
daemons.
when I go:
sudo /etc/init.d/dbmail start
the daemons do not start. I have to start them
from scratch, one at a time. I have looked at
the script, and it certainly looks as though they
should start.
Is this a permissions issue? chmod, chown?
all of the daemons and 'dbmail' are owned
by root, except for smtp. x across the board.
Also, I don't see any notes on virtual hosting
email using dbmail.
.... and people should be instructed that they MUST
assign a password to the dbmail tables in postgres.
The instructions are ambiguous and leave the
impression that it is not needed, when in fact it is.
just trying to help by giving feedback so the next
guy has it easier.
