      Hi.
      I’m testing the latest core 8.7.8 (community) in virtual/test environment. I’d prefer the LMTP to use unix socket instead of TCP. (The manual also recommends it.)
      I updated lmtp_listen parameter (dagent.cfg) and virtual_transport in Postfix’es main.cf to /var/spool/kopano/dagent.sock and restarted the services (dagent & postfix). The file is there (was created just after restart of the services):

      root@srv3:/var/log/kopano# ls -al /var/spool/kopano/
total 8
drwx------ 2 kopano kopano 4096 Nov 29 19:44 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root   root   4096 Nov 29 19:09 ..
srw-rw-rw- 1 root   root      0 Nov 29 19:44 dagent.sock

      but Postfix complains:

      Nov 29 19:47:52 srv3 postfix/lmtp[1974]: A3C86A1F10: to=<test@srv3.test.loc>, relay=none, delay=555, delays=555/0.01/0/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to srv3.test.loc[/var/spool/kopano/dagent.sock]: No such file or directory)

      Mail is not delivered if i use unix sokets, however LMTP over TCP works just fine.
      What am i doing wrong?

        Did you follow the instructions from https://documentation.kopano.io/kopanocore_administrator_manual/configure_kc_components.html?highlight=lmtp#postfix-integration ?

          Yes. Every step.

          I created dir:
          mkdir -p /var/spool/kopano

          then fixed acls:
          chown kopano:kopano /var/spool/kopano
          chmod go= /var/spool/kopano
          setfacl -m u:postfix:rwx /var/spool/kopano

          Edited config files for dagent and postfix:

          My dagent.cfg:
          #lmtp_listen = *:2003
          lmtp_listen = unix:/var/spool/kopano/dagent.sock

          My postfix main.cf:
          #virtual_transport = lmtp:127.0.0.1:2003
          virtual_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/spool/kopano/dagent.sock

          Then restarted dagent & postfix:
          service kopano-dagent restart
          service postfix restart

          Dagent.sock is created, but somehow Postfix can’t access it:
          postfix/lmtp[2345]: […] status=deferred (connect to srv3.test.loc[/var/spool/kopano/dagent.sock]: No such file or directory)

          Well… I’ll just stay with TCP sockets for now. But if anyone has a working unix socket implementation, i could use some help. Like the manual says:
          “Starting with the 8.7 release of Kopano Groupware Core it is possible to deliver messages not only via a tcp LMTP connection, but also through a linux socket. While for backwards compatibility the default value will continue to use the tcp socket, we recommend to use the unix socket for new installations.”

            The directory appears to be still unreadable by postfix: there is no “+” shown for the ACL that was supposedly set.

            root@srv3:/var/log/kopano# ls -al /var/spool/kopano/
total 8
drwx------ 2 kopano kopano 4096 Nov 29 19:44 .
drwxr-xr-x 6 root   root   4096 Nov 29 19:09 ..
srw-rw-rw- 1 root   root      0 Nov 29 19:44 dagent.sock

            The other idea is that, because postfix reports “No such file or directory”, that it might be running in some kind of mount namespace. You can use nsenter -r -m -w -t P with the postfix pid P to get into a shell that shows what postfix sees.

              Thank you for your help.
              Ok, I fixed ACLs (my fault). But still no luck. :(
              Directory has full access (777) now (for testing):

              root@srv3:/var/spool/kopano# ls -al
total 8
drwxrwxrwx+ 2 kopano kopano 4096 Nov 30 21:56 .
drwxr-xr-x  6 root   root   4096 Nov 30 21:37 ..
srwxrwxrwx  1 root   root      0 Nov 30 21:56 dagent.sock

              Tried also with nsenter - spawned shell from postfix PID and directory is accessibile & readable under postfix PID.
              Will try to play around with this over the weekend.

                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.

                          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.
