Dovecot and recieving mails for root


jogr

Question

Hi out there,

 

I am in trouble using dovecot. There are (not yet) any users added by froxlor, so the testing mail adresses are /etc/mail/aliases

 

A redirection such as

webmaster: some@non-server.tld

 

works fine, but I am not able to recieve mails for root (such as generated by cronjobs)

root@myserver ~ # cat /etc/mail/aliases

# Basic system aliases -- these MUST be present.

MAILER-DAEMON: postmaster

postmaster: root

root: some.one@googlemail.com, \root

 

But there will be no mails for root on the root account on the server nor will there be mails at the google account.

I did both. Run "newaliasses" and restart postfix. I also tried to set mail_location, but this changed nothing. Actually I removed \root from

 

root: some.one@googlemail.com, \root

and tried to resend the mails by postsuper -r.

Without \root, the mails were sent to the given google mail adress, but I would like to hold these mails also on the server.

so it did work but you have a new problem: you want to keep the mails too, that's something else.

 

I never needed to keep the mails onto the server, so, sorry, don't know - thought you just have problems getting the root-mails (which seemed to be the problem in your post from 11:25 AM)

I have local delivery working, and delivery to usernames@hostname working.

 

ie user1@froxlor.example.com, which is a real shell in /etc/passwd, delivers to ~/Maildir.

 

Hopefully this helps.

 

/etc/postconf/main.cf

mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -c /etc/dovecot/conf.d/01-dovecot-postfix.conf -n -m "${EXTENSION}"
local_transport = local:$myhostname

 

/etc/dovecot/conf.d/01-dovecot-postfix.conf

# Some general options
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
auth_username_chars = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ01234567890.-_@

protocol lda {
       postmaster_address = postmaster
       mail_plugins = sieve
       quota_full_tempfail = yes
       deliver_log_format = msgid=%m: %$
       rejection_reason = Your message to <%t> was automatically rejected:%n%r
}

plugin {
       sieve=~/.dovecot.sieve
       sieve_dir=~/sieve
}
