Re: dovecot-lda as local mailer and access to manage sive
Once upon a time, Chris Kottaridis <chriskot(a)quietwind.net> said:
I want to be careful about dinking with rules. That was what I
originally tried. What I wanted was some users to use dovecot-lda for
delivery and others to use the standard mailer. For example I really
want root to still go to /var/mail as well as other non-real users. So,
I added the dovecot mailer and was dinking with rules sets to have root
to use local mailer and other users resolve to dovecot mailer. I got
quite entangled in the whole thing. I was close but couldn't quite get
there. For now I am content with root ending up in /var/vmail.
Yeah, that can get tricky, and requires a fair bit of sendmail knowledge
to do right. I have a setup where the default local mailer is dovecot,
but users can choose to get procmail (all mail is delivered to users
with system accounts); the choice is stored in a custom field in an LDAP
directory. Since I haven't really tested and pushed sieve use yet, the
only server-side filtering is via procmail.
Of course, I've been writing sendmail rulesets for about 15 years now,
so it's second nature to me. sendmail.cf really isn't just line noise!
