Error with Dovecot LDA when recipient address is incomplete

[Nikolaos Milas]

Hi,

We are using Postfix 2.8.3 with Dovecot 2.0.13 on CentOS 5.6.





Postfix master.cf is configured as:

dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe


Obviously this happens because in this case there is no ${user} data.



Thanks,
Nick

The problem we have is that sometimes, due to mail sender's error when composing a message, the sender attempts to send an email to "@noa.gr" (without specifying the user part of the address). This results in a Postfix error due to Dovecot LDA use: Jun 22 21:05:31 vmail postfix/pipe[31862]: CC89FC4D210: to=<@noa.gr>, relay=dovecot, delay=0.41, delays=0.24/0.013/0/0.15, dsn=5.3.0, status=bounced (command line usage error. Command output: /usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda: option requires an argument -- d Usage: dovecot-lda [-c <config file>] [-a <address>] [-d <username>] [-p <path>] [-f <envelope sender>] [-m <mailbox>] [-e] [-k] ) flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f ${sender} -d ${user} Can we somehow configure Postfix to directly bounce such mails (missing the user part of the address) without attempting to forward them to Dovecot LDA?
