Deliver will run /usr/lib/sendmail with the uid of the target mailbox,
you said virtual user - so you've configured the id in dovecot.conf, I
guess.
I just had a similar problem caused by the fact that /usr/lib/sendmail
was missing. As I'm using exim as MTA, I created /usr/lib/sendmail as
a symlink pointing to the exim binary.
That was an excellent tip. I started looking closely at
/usr/lib/sendmail and following the link chain. Which led me back to
/usr/sbin/sendmail.sendmail.
Which is probably not the correct sendmail binary to be using when we're
running postfix. Apparently, back when I setup this server many months
ago, I never installed or ran:
# yum install system-switch-mail
# system-switch-mail
Which switches the links around to point at "sendmail.postfix".
Once I fixed that, I had to adjust SELinux properties to create a custom
profile to allow the sendmail binary to do its work.
Thank you both for the pointers, everything is now working properly for
vacation auto-responses.
(Oddly enough, the broken setup worked with Dovecot 1.0 - and only
reared its head after we upgraded to Dovecot 1.1.)
