Postfix Cyrus Web cyradm HOWTO

To use the other services provided by cyrus and smtp authtication you need to copy

the file so that they match the service ID

cp /etc/pam.d/imap /etc/pam.d/pop

cp /etc/pam.d/imap /etc/pam.d/sieve

cp /etc/pam.d/imap /etc/pam.d/smtp

6. Configuring Postfix

Postfix needs two major config files:

main.cf

and

master.cf

. Both need your

attention.

6.1. master.cf

You need to change just one line:

old:

flags=R user=cyrus argv=/cyrus/bin/deliver  e  m ${extension} ${user}

new:

flags= user=cyrus argv=/usr/cyrus/bin/deliver  r ${sender}  m ${extension} ${user}

What does that change affect?

A look to the cyrus man pages

man deliver

clears up that issue:

The Postfix default setup uses a wrong path to cyrus deliver, this is the first change.

The parameter   r  inserts a proper return path. Without that, mail rejected/retured

by sieve will be sent to the cyrus user at yourdomain.

6.2. main.cf

Here you need to change some more things like hostname, relaying, alias lookups

etc.

First change the hostname:

myhostname = foo.bar.org

mydestination
