LMTP with unix socket (core 8.7.8, Debian 9.6)

Caldwell

For my part, I ran the commands as listed in the documentation on Ubuntu 18.x, and the socket file NEVER gets created. I had to revert to *:2003 config style.

Whether using “run_as” kopano or root, the socket file never gets created.

Any details on how to make that happen?

Why not…

dpkg-statoverride --add kopano postfix 770 /var/spool/kopano
and you on Debian with systemd.

see: systemctl cat kopano-dagent

fix it with : systemctl edit kopano-dagent

add:

[Unit]
# optional, but helps is the start up process. 
After=kopano-server.service
Wants=kopano-server.service

[Service]
LimitNOFILE=8192:16384
User=kopano
Group=kopano

and try again

I have the same problem as mapo.

Dec 30 20:32:07 servername postfix/error[11706]: DB1844C1F50: to=<max@mustermann.de>, relay=none, delay=0.01, delays=0.01/0/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (delivery temporarily suspended: connect to servername.server.de[/var/spool/kopano/dagent.sock]: No such file or directory)

The problem is not fixed after the suggested doings from thctlo.

Ubuntu may be using AppArmor.

@jengelh and what do you want to tell me with this information?
I’am using Debian 9 as mapo.

jengelh

Well, that the LSM may interfere? Investigation needs shells, since no one has crystal balls (and won’t for the—ha—foreseeable future!)

Hi,

similar problem on ubuntu 18.04

The postfix/lmtp process runs chrooted in /var/spool/postfix and can therefore not access the socket in /var/spool/kopano.

my solution:
create the kopano spooldir in /var/spool/postfix instead of /var/spool (same chown, chmod and setfacl as in original instructions apply)

in dagent.conf:

lmtp_listen = unix:/var/spool/postfix/kopano/dagent.sock

In postfix/main.cf:

virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:/kopano/dagent.sock

worked for me…

Yep. Just as I postulated on 2018-11-30:

The other idea is that, because postfix reports “No such file or directory”, that it might be running in some kind of mount namespace.

@pks57 said in LMTP with unix socket (core 8.7.8, Debian 9.6):

/var/spool/postfix/kopano/dagent.sock

I have the same problem with a fresh install on Ubuntu 18.

connect to kopano[/var/spool/kopano/dagent.sock]: No such file or directory

So as suggested, I created: /var/spool/postfix/kopano/

And set permissions and facl, and updated main.cf and dagent.cfg etc etc and rebooted.

The dagent.sock file is never created and postfix now errors with:

connect to kopano[/var/spool/postfix/kopano/dagent.sock]: No such file or directory

Any suggestions ??

Look at the dagent log and see what it says about dagent.sock.
