[Fetchmail-users] fetchmail with dovecot-lda

[Jerry <je...@se...>]

I am attempting to get fetchmail to work with dovecot-lda.

Presently, mail is delivered to dovecot-lda via Postfix. The user:group is
"vmail". No matter how I attempt to configure the mda in fetchmail, I receive
error 75 messages and a warning about the uid not matching.

Does anyone have a working dovecot-lda with fetchmail config example that I
can view?

Thanks!

I have postfix -> procmail -> dovecot-lda.
You could try fetchmail -> procmail -> dovecot-lda.


My procmail rules are like this:

DELIVER = "/usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda"

...

   :0f
   * ^List-Id:.*<fetchmail-users.lists.sourceforge.net>
   | $FORMAIL -bfi 'Reply-To: "fetchmail-users mailing list" <fet...@li...>'
   :0 aw: $HOME/Mail/.D-locks/vsf-sf_lists.lock
   | $DELIVER -m _Lists/vsf-sf_lists

I have a rather complex and fully functional set of sieve filters in place. I
have no intention of using Procmail. I just wanted to by pass having mail
delivered to Postfix first; however, it is not an absolute necessity.

That is because fetchmail will not run it as user "vmail".  Please show
your fetchmail settings and logging, per
<http://www.fetchmail.info/fetchmail-FAQ.html#G3>

Then why change the setup?

Have you tried reading the dovecot manual on its options, or did you
just copy some random configuration?

Then don't change it :-)

I think you get more flexibility and reliability with postfix in the
loop. Even simplicity.
