| Post subject: | error with lmtpd socket... first time setting up mail server |
Hi, I'm setting up a mailserver for one domain with Postfix+Cyrus-imapd+cyrus-sasld... This is on CentOS4 (RHEL). I'm pretty sure I got postfix working OK... I can use the mail command to send a test message to an external account an it works fine. When I try to send mail to a local user, though, I get a message like this: Code: Mar 30 09:42:16 li9-32 postfix/pipe[28596]: 33CD441BA6: to=<sam@predisposition.com>, relay=cyrus, delay=1001, status=deferred (temporary failure. Command output: couldn't connect to lmtpd: Bad file descriptor_ 421 4.3.0 deliver: couldn't connect to lmtpd_ ) predisposition.com is the domain for this server. I have tried changing the mailbox_transport in /etc/postfix/main.cf a couple of times -- the above error comes after changing mailbox_transport to "cyrus"... I get a similar error if I change it to either of the following: Code: #mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/usr/lib/cyrus-imapd/lmtpd #mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/usr/libexec/postfix/lmtp Code: Mar 30 09:54:18 li9-32 postfix/lmtp[28626]: 71D5641BD4: to=<sam@predisposition.com>, relay=none, delay=1100, status=deferred (connect to /usr/libexec/postfix/lmtp[/usr/libexec/postfix/lmtp]: Connection refused) I've searched through many tutorials and find it's hard to get a coherent idea of how to set this up -- any help would be MUCH appreciated. Thanks, Sam |

What are you trying to achieve by setting mailbox_transport? What does your system do when mailbox_transport is set to the default value (empty)? |

OK, EDIT here -- I took away (commented out) the varriables in question, and now here is the situation. The mail to my new server is going into the ~/Maildir/new directory as it should... but when I check the mail via a client, the IMAP client looks in /var/spool/mail/... So, that's funny. I think I'm very close, though. |

I tried setting mail using: Postfix - http://postfix.state-of-mind.de/patrick ... index.html Cyrus - http://www.delouw.ch/linux/Postfix-Cyru ... ml/t1.html However on Centos 4 I get: DBERROR db4: Berkeley DB library configured to support only DB_PRIVATE environments This was something that came about in FC2 and was to be fixed in FC3, but it looks like Centos and I think SuSE is also compiling db4 for private environments. Google on DB_PRIVATE for some details. I haven't figured out my next move yet, but this may be related to what you are doing / seeing. However I'm far from a mail expert, I'm still on "L" plates. |
