Hi fair folks. After years of using OS X servers I'm back on FreeBSD and well... owls have sure aged since then.
So I'm trying to do a virtual domain+virtual users setup with Dovecot where I'd have several virtual domains and several users. Each user is supposed to be authenticated via the simple username both for SMTP and IMAP, not a full email address and each will have several email aliases on different domains. Pretty simple so far. However, I've set up the virtual_transport to be lmtp and that transport relays the entire recipient's email address to Dovecot. main.cf: virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:private/dovecot-lmtp virtual_mailbox_domains = aqq.is virtual_mailbox_maps = hash:/usr/local/etc/postfix/virtualmailboxes virtualmailboxes: t...@aqq.is testmail te...@aqq.is testmail And in the mail log: dovecot: lmtp(20405): Connect from local dovecot: auth-worker(20407): passwd(t...@aqq.is): unknown user I would expect Postfix to accept mail both for test and test2 and tell Dovecot via LMTP to deliver the mail to the user named testmail. But I cannot do that because Postfix doesn't relay "testmail" to Dovecot for user lookup. All other options that I've tried either make Postfix try to write to mailboxes by itself or make Dovecot indiscriminate and accept every incoming message, creating folders with different email addresses. So the question is, what am I doing wrong there? Is the configuration that I have in my mind even possible? And suppose if it's possible, second question is how do I make SMTP authentication work in such a scenario? -- Sent from: http://postfix.1071664.n5.nabble.com/Postfix-Users-f2.html
