No permissions for that context - Postfix 1.1.11 and Cyrus2.0.16

[Schmehl, Paul L]

Don't use that entry in master.cf for Cyrus.  Use lmtp instead.  If you read the notes, that entry is deprecated and unreliable.

/etc/postfix/main.cf
mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp

/etc/postfix/master.cf
lmtp    unix    -       -       n       -       -       lmtp

/etc/cyrus.conf
  lmtpunix      cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=0

Make sure your permissions and groups are right also.

Hello all,

I installed Postfix and Cyrus for my domain gwch.ath.cx on my server trinity.

My entry in the master.cf of postfix is:

cyrus     unix  -       n       n       -       -       pipe
    flags=R user=cyrus argv=/usr/bin/deliver -e -m ${extension} ${user}

the master.cf of postfix contains for:
mailbox_transport: cyrus
transport_local: cyrus

nonetheless, if i send a message to roger at gwch.ath.cx i get the following error message:

<roger at gwch.ath.cx>: Command died with status 1: "/usr/bin/deliver". Command
    output: deliver: delivery error on host trinity Delivery to these addresses
    failed:    roger Reason(s) for failure:  "roger": No permissions for that
    context

does anybody have any idea on that?

Mit freundlichen Grüssen

Roger Grosswiler
