Hello everyone,
I am getting an error message on FreeBSD 4 after I install dovecot. To
start off, I create two regular users, testuser and testuser1.
Hi Bob,
You might get a response if you provided a bit more info that might
help, like, maybe...
dovecot version
dovecot -n output
Since dovoecot isn't an smtp server, and what you have is a delivery
problem, assuming that you had done enough troubleshooting to lead you
to believe this was a dovecot problem, you would also want to provide
some details on the smtp server and config.
The only reason I can think of that you might think this might be a
dovecot issue is:
are you using dovecot LDA?
Otherwise, this would be an issue with your smtp server.
From the logs below, it looks to me like you don't have your delivery
mechanism set up properly (sm-mta - service unavailable), but since you
didn't provide any details whatsoever about your environment, all anyone
can do is guess...
I send each user emails then I install dovecot. After installing
dovecot I set up the users in Maildir format then proceed to send them
emails and here is what shows up in the maillogs:

Here is what the user looks like in /etc/passwd:
testuser3:*:2400:2400:My very own test user:/home/testuser3:/sbin/nologin
For the other users that have shell access, they don't get this
problem. It seems to be only the users with no shell.
Does anybody know of a fix for this problem?
