Cyrus - Postfix

[Thor Vik]

Im rather sure that postfix running changerooted. I see that postfix user
belong to group postfix while cyrus belongs to group mail, I not sure if
that does matter. I have changed the chmod just in case the socket file to
0777 without the wanted effect. In the cyrus.conf file the LMTP reads:

		# At least one form of LMTP is required for delivery
		# (you must keep the Unix socket name in sync with
imap.conf)
		#lmtp		cmd="lmtpd" listen="localhost:lmtp"
prefork=0 maxchild=20
		lmtpunix	cmd="lmtpd"
listen="/var/run/cyrus/socket/lmtp" prefork=0 maxchild=20

		# ----------------------------------------------

Im not sure if that becomes right when the postfix runs chrooted? But the
path reflects the position of the lmtpd executable file. I have changed the
mod to 0777 so that all 'users' can execute the file. I am unable to connect
to the man page for lmtpd at the cyrus web page, so I would be very happy if
you could help me with this.

With regards to the mailbox I am loggin in to, Im quite sure that is the
right one. And the syslog reports an access denied error from postfix.

However the system is a debian based, and I have installed both postfix and
cyrus with dpkg (synaptic). The config file are mainly as they where
distributed from the dpkg package.

Kindly regards 

Thor Vik

Does your postfix run chrooted? If yes, modify master.cf so that lmtp does
not run in a chroot jail. And make sure the mailbox you want to post to
existst.
