This isn't entirely specific to Cyrus but I figured I'd ask here anyway as it is related to my recent Cyrus install...
I've setup Cyrus with virtual domain support. I've configured sendmail 8.12.10 on our server to deliver local mail to cyrus by doing this in sendmail.mc:
MAILER(local)dnl
MAILER_DEFINITIONS
Mcyrusv2, P=[IPC], F=lsDFMnqA5@/:|SmXz, E=\r\n,
S=EnvFromSMTP/HdrFromSMTP, R=EnvToSMTP,
T=DNS/RFC822/X-Unix,
A=FILE /usr/local/cyrus/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp
First of all, I don't think this has set your CyrusV2 mailer as local. There is a FEATURE for doing just that, if you must use it. Secondly, man, that path is awfully long. I'm not saying that something will not work, just that it looks ugly. Consider installing under custom paths. On Tru64 UNIX I use "/usr/opt/Cyrus-IMAP-2.1.15" for program and config files and "/var/opt/Cyrus-IMAP-2.1.15" for maildir, cyrus config and sockets. Just a sugestion.
For the Cyrus virtual domains I've added entries into /etc/mail/mailertable like this:
example.com cyrusv2:/usr/local/cyrus/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp
This definitely proves that "cyrusv2" is not local. "mailertable" is consulted only for non-local domains/hostnames.
I've also setup SMTP AUTH and SSL for sendmail. And when I connect with SMTP AUTH sendmail will relay and deliver my mail.
As expected.
However when I do not use SMTP AUTH sendmail rejects my mail even if it is addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] It rejects with "Relaying Denied. Proper authentication required."
As expected - "example.com" is not local domain and the sender was not explicitely allowed to relay, either by "/etc/mail/relay-domains" or Access Table map.
Normally when I've had "Relaying denied" errors I've added the domain into /etc/mail/local-host-names (for primary MX's) and it's worked fine.
Proper course of action.
However I did this and instead I got "User unknown" errors. Which is very odd because the address exists in the Cyrus store.
Sendmail is checking to see if "someone" is a local user of the system. Cyrus has it's own "users" (rather mailboxes, than users) and they have nothing to do with UNIX user accounts.
There are two paths you can follow.
LOCAL CYRUS DELIVERY --------------------
You can use a FEATURE, similar to FEATURE(`local_procmail') that refers to Cyrus. Actually, there is a FEATURE(`local_lmtp', `/path/to/your/socket') which should be what you want. If you still get errors, check if "w" flag was removed from "local" mailer definition. You should have the option to define a class "N" of user accounts that should be delivered using "real local" mailer, but I'm not sure how it all works. I've never implemented this myself.
INDIRECT CYRUS DELIVERY -----------------------
This is what I do:
- add domain "example.com" to /etc/mail/local-host-names - add a virtual-user table entry: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]" - add a virtual-user table entry: "[EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]" - have/add an entry to mailer table: "IMAP cyrusv2:localhost"
Note that my solution will not work for virtual domains in Cyrus. It would be best to follow the first trail.
Nix.
