So I grabbed your tarball, moved everything under /usr/pkg/etc/dovecot into a subdirector, and replaced with your tarball contents. Small changes to the pathname and filenames for the cert and the key and - same error message.
It's clearly the case that dovecot is providing at least some services, for instance what appear to be successful logins. But my postmaster mailbox is filling up with error reports, including transcripts that look like this: In: STARTTLS Out: 454 4.3.0 TLS not available due to local problem In: MAIL FROM:<> SIZE=6613 Out: 250 2.1.0 Ok In: RCPT TO:<[email protected]> Out: 450 4.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table In: QUIT Out: 221 2.0.0 Bye I'm doing all this on a NetBSD 4.0.1 system that is destined to be replaced soon, so I thought I would get familiar with dovecot on a machine whose configuration I know well. I'm wondering whether this is maybe a bug in dovecot2 that has been corrected since the tarball I started from (off the NetBSD.org site) was created. -- Steve Blinkhorn <[email protected]> You wrote: > > On Tue, Oct 8, 2013 at 11:43 AM, Steve Blinkhorn <[email protected]> wrote: > > I am gradually getting dovecot to work with my established postfix > > configuration, but can't find a way past this error (from > > /var/log/maillog): > > > > Oct 8 16:26:52 body dovecot: master: Error: Error reading > > configuration: Invalid settings: No services defined > > > > I'm assuming that I should be looking in conf.d/10-master.conf for the > > error, but lack of familiarity with the syntax of the conf files is > > making it hard to see what's wrong. > > > > Is there a way of getting a report of which services are defined so I > > can test without exposing my live system to errors? > > -- > > Steve Blinkhorn <[email protected]> > > > > > Hey I was just thinking about your previous email last night when I > had to re-do my dovecot install from scratch! :) > > Just to be 100% sure, you have mail/dovecot2 installed and not > mail/dovecot, right? > Anyway, you can find my entire config here: > www.mspo.com/nc/dovecot.tar.gz > > Also my postfix config has this kind of stuff: > #accepting mail - auth to dovecot > smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot > smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth > smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes > smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous > smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, > permit_sasl_authenticated, reject_unauth_destination > -- Steve Blinkhorn <[email protected]> **************************************************************************** This email is for the addressee only.
