Hi!
I'm currently setting up my first mailsystem based on dovecot. For a far way,
working with dovecot was very convenient, but after I had to integrate deliver,
it became massivly painful. My components are postfix as MTA, postgresql as
user database and dovecot as IMAP server. When translating the mail adresse
into the account name, something goes terribly wrong (Mail adresses modified to
protect against spam, think about them in correct format):
dovecot: Jul 22 01:48:13 Info: auth(default-listen): master in: USER 1
Andreas.Podgurski_at_MediaGUILD.de service=deliver
dovecot: Jul 22 01:48:13 Info: auth(default-listen):
prefetch(Andreas.Podgurski_at_MediaGUILD.de): passdb didn't return userdb
entries, trying the next userdb
dovecot: Jul 22 01:48:13 Info: auth(default-listen):
sql(Andreas.Podgurski_at_MediaGUILD.de): SELECT 1011 AS uid,1011 AS
gid,'/var/www/jade/mail/' || admin.username AS home,admin.username AS user FROM
admin,email WHERE lower(email.local_address) = lower('Andreas.Podgurski') AND
email.receiver = admin.id;
dovecot: Jul 22 01:48:13 Info: auth(default-listen):
auth(Andreas.Podgurski_at_MediaGUILD.de): username changed
Andreas.Podgurski_at_MediaGUILD.de -> SunAdmin
dovecot: Jul 22 01:48:13 Info: auth(default-listen): master out: USER 1
SunAdmin uid=1011 gid=1011 home=/var/www/jade/mail/SunAdmin
deliver(Andreas.Podgurski_at_MediaGUILD.de): Jul 22 01:48:13 Error:
mkdir(/var/www/jade/mail/Andreas.Podgurski_at_MediaGUILD.de/cur) failed:
Permission denied
deliver(Andreas.Podgurski_at_MediaGUILD.de): Jul 22 01:48:13 Info:
msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: save failed to INBOX: Internal error occurred. Refer
to server log for more information. [2008-07-22 01:48:13]
As you can see, the account SunAdmin has an email adresse
andreas.podgurski_at_mediaguild.de assigned. The database seems to reveil the
username correctly, but after that, deliver continues to use the original mail
adresse, not the account name returned by the auth master. Any idea, where my
solution went the wrong way? The uid/gid belong to vmail:vmail, which is used
for the auth-master, as well as for running deliver and to dispatch the postfix
messages.
Btw., I ask myself, how dovecot can assume to use prefetch in this case, as
prefetch bases upon the password query, which has to fail in this case, as
there is no password. Shouldn't it not even try to use the prefetch values
there...?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas Podgurski
