postfix doesn't deliver mail through dagent

Hi Andreas,
I have changes the configs: Postfix now virtual_transport = lmtp:127.0.0.1:2003
kopano-dagent lmtp_listen = 127.0.0.1:2003

telnet results:
Trying 127.0.0.1…
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
Escape character is ‘^]’.
220 2.1.5 LMTP server is ready

But no luck, mail is still being dropped in the local mailbox.

@gduran
so we have to search for the error on the postfix service.
How do you choose the users? with and openldap oder mysql table?

@anotherandy

Using postfix with openldap.
I added the -v like you said and that results in a lot of entries in the mail.log but is to long to post.

@gduran Please post your complete postfix configuration.

Hi Felix,
This forum does not accept because it seems to be too large…
So how do I do that?

@gduran
I was thinking about your problem again. Do you have a development or testing environment? Did your postfix-ldap work there?
Just a thought - did you install the postfix-ldap package?

Hi Andreas,
Meanwhile I’ve rolled back and the ‘old’ server is in place again.
Yes everything required has been installed.
I do see some strange anomalies in the mail log which while comparing with the log from the ‘old server’ where I’ve added the -v key as well to the master.cf.
I now suspect it has something to do with the postfix version in use on the new server being 3.4.13 while 3.3.0 running on the ‘old server’.

Hi Felix,
I’ve compared the mail.log’s from both the working “old server” and “new server” and I will just include the most obvious part where it is clear that postfix is messing around with mail headers.
As you can see I make use of an external anti spam party and postfix is replacing the intended e-mail addresses (sender’s as well recipient’s) with something composed from the spam service. No wonder that no match is being found while consulting ldap as ldap searches using a non existing address. Somehow after not finding a match it still remembers the intended e-mail addresses as the e-mail is properly delivered to the local mailbox (???).
Here is an extract of the log file with comments between brackets of the differences between the mail log on the “old server”.

Hi Felix,
New insights: I just figured out that for some reason the ldap-users search fails but after creating a KopanoAliasses entry with the same address as in the mail entry in LDAP it is properly resolved by postfix and delivers to Kopano Dagent through lmtp.
So now I need to understand why the ldap-users search fails…
First I’ve downgraded postfix and used the same postfix config as on the ‘old server’ but bumped into the same result. Than I tried adding the KopanoAliasses and than it worked. Next I upgraded postfix back to 3.4.13 and it still worked. Any idea what to look for why postfix cannot resolve the query_filter = (&(objectClass=posixAccount)(mail=%s))?

postmap -vq [username]@[mydomain].com ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf does resolve properly and is returning the right e-mail address(???).

Hi Felix,
Not sure if there’s no response anymore because this may be considered as a postfix problem.
If so than please let me know.
Anyway, I’ve spend days now to examine what possibly goes wrong. I’ve compared both the working and non-working log line by line (close to 700 lines(!!!)). Stripped the first couple of columns (date stamp etc) to make it more easy to compare using WinMerge.
Two things were noticed.

there no attempt to connect to lmtp as where in the working log I read {rcpt_host}=unix:/kopano/dagent.sock {rcpt_mailer}=lmtp. Obviously it’s properly defined in main.cf. As I’m sending e-mails to myself postfix is able to resolve in the end as I’m known as a user on this machine and thus dropping the mail in the local mailbox.
I compared the ldap connections made. At first postfix is testing ldap if it can connect . First the virtual_alias_maps followed by the virtual_mailbox_maps (ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf). Further on in the non-working log it only consults the virtual_alias_maps but NOT the ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf. On the working machine it is clear that during the second stage it does consult ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf and can resolve.
To exclude any wrong interpretation I did remove and purged postfix as wel as openldap, build them anew and started to test with a bare minimum of settings. I only added the lmtp directive and virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-users.cf. Still the same behaviour: No connection to lmtp and although it connects to ldap it does not perform a search.
What now coach???

No, mostly because i am on holiday ;-)

@gduran said in postfix doesn't deliver mail through dagent:

You still did not post your postfix configuration. My working theory is that you have a typo in your virtual_ definitions somewhere and therefore he does not use the *_transport definition you expect.

@fbartels
Hi Felix,
Thanks a lot!!!
One directive was indeed missing:
virtual_mailbox_domains = [example.com]
Once defined it worked like charm.
Although, not understanding as to why this directive is necessary and how that is related to the ldap search and lmpt failure but it’s running now.
Thanks again and have a nice holiday!!!
