[Dovecot] LMTP Setup/Design Help Request
Hi again,
Thank you for your first hints. I have now set up a dedicated test instance of
postfix and dovecot to be
able to recreate the problems in detail.
Even after using your inputs, they do not seem to work with my setup I already
mentioned above. I get errors
like
postfix/lmtp[10994]: C2DF4C000DF: to=us...@mydomain.org,
relay=mail.mydomain.org[private/dovecot-lmtp],
delay=0.1, delays=0.05/0/0/0.04, dsn=5.1.1, status=bounced (host
mail.mydomain.org[private/dovecot-lmtp]
said: 550 5.1.1 us...@mydomain.org User doesn't exist: us...@mydomain.org (in
reply to RCPT TO command))
As stated before, my setup is as follows:
I only have virtual users and have set
mail_uid = dovemail
mail_gid = dovemail
For authentication, I simply use (for now) a flat file:
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = scheme=PLAIN username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/mypasswd.file
}
# cat /etc/dovecot/mypasswd.file
user1:{PLAIN}userpw1
user2:{PLAIN}userpw2
user3:{PLAIN}userpw3
And everything works fine with IMAP. I am completely domain-agnostic
here.
I do not know how to strip the domain when the username is handed over from
postfix to dovecot, and what
would be the sane solution.
I hope, you can give me a hint to that.
Thank you, again, and greetings,
Matthias Hofer

You have to use full usernames like:
us...@mydomain.org
us...@mydomain.org
us...@mydomain.org
user1 != us...@mydomain.org

I understand that technical issue, but what I wanted was a possible solution
based on plain usernames.
This is because I want to make the transition from dbmail to dovecot completely
transparent to users and
clients, and dbmail just uses plain login names, indepentend of what e-Mail
alias would then in dbmail be
mapped to which login name.
The plain solution above now works completely transparent for IMAP with
dovecot, and it is also documented
in the wiki that dovecot is domain agnostic. That is great news for my setup.
Where I am very flexible is delivering mail: I could use dovecot-lda or
dovecot-lmtpd, or postfix doing the
work itself or whatever. It is just that I did not find any solution, and this
is why I was asking for help
here.
So, is there a way for dovecot-{lda/lmtpd} to accept us...@mydomain.org but
checks for user1 in the user
DB?
If there is some other idea, I would be happy to hear about it.
Thank you, again,

Try username_format=%n so dovecot uses the username only:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/Variables
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = scheme=PLAIN username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/mypasswd.file
}

Great! I did not think about that, but this solved this issue :D
Thank you a lot.
And I was now able to solve also my further issues. So I am prepared to try
again to switch :)
Have great day!

At first, everyone should use Reply to List, it's much easier to understand if you see every ones answers. :) I see that you solved the problem, another things that could help in future: dovecot logging verbosity http://wiki1.dovecot.org/Logging#Logging_verbosity This is a great help if something doesn't work. Have a nice weekend. :) Greetings, Jan

Hi Matthias,
Here a litte bit of code snipplets how I configured dovecot
authentication via relay domains. No user-handling in postfix exept
relay domains and virtual alias map, user-handling over dovecot SASL/LMTP.
This is no complete configuration, no warranty that this works for you!
Greetings, Jan

[Dovecot] LMTP Setup/Design Help Request
Hi altogether,
I am switching from dbmail 2.2 to dovecot 2.1.7, and I was able to do a
successful transition of IMAP. But I
had a very hard time with receiving mail, and in the end -- after loads of
reading and debugging -- I broke
down and failed. This is why I am asking you for your kind help.
I only have virtual users and have set
mail_uid = dovemail
mail_gid = dovemail
For authentication, I simply use (for now) a flat file:
passdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = scheme=PLAIN username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/mypasswd.file
}
# cat /etc/dovecot/mypasswd.file
user1:{PLAIN}userpw1
user2:{PLAIN}userpw2
user3:{PLAIN}userpw3
And everything works fine with IMAP. I am completely domain-agnostic here.
But I was not able to use this fine setup to receive mails with my postfix. I
tried about 13 different
configurations, some with considerable changes dovecot-config, the passwd-file
or postfix, but I could not
find a single variant working.
In this situation, I would be very happy if somebody could give me a hint,
which would be the prudent way to
configure dovecot, LDA/LMTP and postfix based on the setup above.
Thank you very much in advance, and have a great time,
Matthias Hofer

I suppose your postfix is in working state. Note that you do not need
dovecot
to deliver mail with postfix. But it is a good idea. To deliver using
dovecot-lda
my postfix main.cf contains
mail_spool_directory = /Mail/
mailbox_command = /usr/local/libexec/dovecot/dovecot-lda -f $SENDER
-a $RECIPIENT
