Hi, I am getting the following error when trying to send emails out from my Ubuntu 10.04. postfix/smtpd[2847]: fatal: dict_open: unsupported dictionary type: ldap: Is the postfix-ldap package installed? postfix/master[2520]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 2847 exit status 1 postfix/master[2520]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling What I have got running on my Ubuntu machine is Postfix, Dovecot, openLDAP and Squirrelmail. Here is my Postfix main.cf configuration biff = no append_dot_mydomain = no readme_directory = no smtpd_use_tls=yes myhostname = mailservercomp1.example.com alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-account.cf #alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases myorigin = example.com mydestination = mailservercomp1.example.com, localhost.localdomain, localhost relayhost = mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.1.0/24 mailbox_size_limit = 0 recipient_delimiter = + inet_interfaces = all inet_protocols = ipv4 home_mailbox = Maildir/ smtpd_sasl_type = dovecot smtpd_sasl_path = private/auth smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous, noplaintext smtpd_sasl_tls_security_options = noanomymous smtpd_tls_auth_only = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination,reject_sender_login_mismatch smtpd_sasl_local_domain = mailservercomp1.example.com And what is in my ldap-account.cf is server_host = localhost port = 389 version = 3 search_base = ou=accounts,dc=example,dc=au scope = sub query_filter = (mail=%s) result_attribute = uid domain = mailservercomp1.example.com I do not know what else that may cause this error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hi again, I managed to get rid of the error by installing postfix-ldap package. However, I am getting another error with the following message Sep 12 16:40:34 mailservercomp1 postfix/smtpd[1844]: connect from nm7.bullet.mail.sp2.yahoo.com[98.139.91.77] Sep 12 16:40:35 mailservercomp1 postfix/smtpd[1844]: NOQUEUE: reject: RCPT from nm7.bullet.mail.sp2.yahoo.com[98.139.91.77]: 550 5.1.1 <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table; from=<[email protected]> to=<[email protected]> proto=SMTP helo=<nm7.bullet.mail.sp2.yahoo.com> I thought this error to do with defining the alias_maps alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-account.cf Thank you very much in advance
That should work if you've defined $alias_maps in local_recipient_maps does a manual lookup in ldap work correctly?
Thanks Mark_NL, I tried to define $alias_maps in local_recipient_maps as shown below (but I was not sure if I did it right - as I am still getting my head around the linux system) in main.cf, alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-account.cf myhostname = mailservercomp1.example.com alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases, ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-account.cf myorigin = example.com mydestination = mailservercomp1.example.com, localhost.localdomain, localhost local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps Then, I tried to do a manual lookup in ldap by typing into the terminal $ ldapsearch -xLLL -b "dc=admin,dc=example,dc=au" uid=mlee sn givenName cn It did return as follows dn: uid=mlee,ou=accounts,dc=example,dc=au cn: Michael Lee sn: Lee givenName: Michael Anyway, I tried the above by adding the local_recipient_maps to main.cf, restarted the postfix, and still got the same error message Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table. Many thanks
Enable debugging in dovecot and check the logs to see if any authentication error appears that might help a bit more.. See: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Debugging/Authentication
