[fetchmail-users] fetchmail with dovecot as mda

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

I was asked to see if it was possible to get fetchmail to deliver mail
directly to a dovecot server. It is presently working with a Postfix
MTA. The system is comprised of solely virtual users.

From the Postfix "master.cf" file:

dovecot   unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
  flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver
  -f ${sender} -d ${user}@${nexthop} -a ${recipient}

I have tried different ways of configuring the "mda" settings in
fetchmail; however, none of them work. This example stated that it
couldn't open the dovecot log file and that it exited with an error 75.

user 'user@isp' there with password 'secret' is 'user' here options
  forcecr dropdelivered smtpaddress 'isp.com' ssl sslcertpath
  '/usr/local/etc/postfix/certs/' sslfingerprint
  '74:8F:40:34:7F:B4:5E:23:99:B3:A9:92:93:67:13:8A' mda
  "/usr/local/libexec/dovecot/deliver -f %F -a %T"

I am not even sure if it is possible. I cannot find any real
documentation via Google from anyone who has actually gotten it to
work. This is being run on a FreeBSD machine.
