Hi all,
I'm running:
- postfix 2.2.1, virtual_transport = maildrop
- maildrop-2.0.2
- courier-imap-3.0.8-3
- cyrus-saslauthd
- openldap2 as backend for all
I'm constantly getting those temporary failures:
"(temporary failure. Command output: /usr/local/bin/maildrop: Temporary
authentication failure.)"
This happens at that point when maildrop should deliver the email into
the user's Maildir.
But maildrop returns this temporary failure, the email remains in the
postfix-queue.
These emails will get delivered at the next requeue interval.
I started with maildrop-1.8.1, so my hope was that an upgrade to
maildrop-2.0.2 would fix it, but it didn't.
So I thought my ldap-directory was some kind of bootleneck, and added
some indexes, still no cure.
Some of You experienced the same issue with mySQL as backend ... and my
ldap is working fine with all other applications.
Delivering mails via Commandline "maildrop -V 4 -d user@domain <
testmail" does not produce those errors and works like a charm.
- Try running this command as the user who runs maildrop (the one in
user= in master.cf), not as as root.
- check authdaemon socket permissions (including permissions of all the
parent directories)
- check whether your maildrop is setuid
Has anyone figured out why these "temporary failures" might occur ?
Is it rather a maildrop-issue or does it depend on the backend ?
Any ideas, hints, solutions ?
