postfix/lmtp errors....
Well it all started a day ago, when mail was being queued and not delivered.... In the log I can see
Nov 5 09:42:42 email postfix/lmtp[10922]: EFF393D184B: to=<ncudmore@newashgreen.net>, relay=none, delay=63724, delays=63719/5.1/0.16/0, dsn=4.4.1, status=deferred (connect to email.newashgreen.net[/var/imap/socket/lmtp]: No such file or directory)
having checked the postfix main.cf
mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/imap/socket/lmtp
and master.cf
lmtp unix - - n - - lmtp
cyrus.conf
lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=
everything points to /var/imap/socket/lmtp, and looks fine.
checking /var/imap/socket/ I can see the following...
drwxr-xr-x 4 _cyrus mail 136 5 Nov 01:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 _cyrus mail 544 5 Nov 01:03 ..
srwxrwxrwx 1 _cyrus mail 0 5 Nov 01:03 idle
-rw------- 1 _cyrus mail 0 4 Nov 23:01 lmtpunix-0.lock
which would imply there is indeed no socket for lmtp.
Checking the ownership on the directory I see
drwxr-xr-x 4 _cyrus mail 136 5 Nov 01:03 socket
So, cyrus has ownership, and group access for mail. Checking the group mail gave me
root# grep ^mail /etc/group
mail:*:6:
So, mail has no membership.... Thus, I reason on the fact that postfix has not access to here, checked to find the OS X use to replace the lack of adduser and the nearest find I could get was
sudo dscl . append /Groups/mail GroupMembership postfix
however, this seems to have no effect
# grep ^mail /etc/group
mail:*:6:
So, can anyone tell me how to add postfix to the mail group? Or, am I going down the wrong road and this isn't the problem?
