Greetings!
I must preface this by noting that I have in fact Googled for this but
have not found any solutions that work. I have an Ubuntu box (Hardy) and
have a mysql/postfix setup as documented in the Flurdy howto found
at <URL:http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/>http://flurdy.com/docs/postfix/ ...
but I also have maildrop in the mix. It seems to work ok, except with
mailman. I added mailman last night and now I'm getting the following
error when I try to send to list addresses.
status=bounced (user unknown. Command output: ERR: authdaemon: s_connect()
failed: Permission denied Invalid user specified. )
Now, I realize what the error is telling me. It's having problems finding
the user.
No, that's not what this error message is telling you. It's telling you that
the connection to the authdaemon socket has failed due to insufficient
permissions.
The "NOTE" on the first page of maildrop's INSTALL file gives you three
options for properly configuring your security policy so that maildrop has
the necessary permissions to connect to authdaemon's socket and validate the
userid.
It seems that for these recipients, your mail server invokes maildrop using
a userid that does not have the sufficient privileges, and the correct
security policy for your system, as described in INSTALL, has not been
properly set up.
Your account database must have a matching entry for whatever parameter gets
passed to maildrop using it's -d option.
