From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040922 Description of problem: $ grep -n "socket" /usr/share/sendmail-cf/mailer/cyrusv2.m4 15:ifdef(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS',, `define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS', `FILE /var/imap/socket/lmtp')') --> has to be `/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp' $ grep -n lmtpunix /etc/cyrus.conf 26: lmtpunix cmd="lmtpd" listen="/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp" prefork=1 If one wants to use Sendmail with Cyrus-IMAPd by using the cyrusv2 mailer he would need to modify the socket path too. (For the old cyrus.m4 the path to the devlier binary was corrected, see #118399) Still the same with sendmail-cf-8.13.1-2.2.i386.rpm from rawhide/development. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sendmail-8.13.1-2 sendmail-cf-8.13.1-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. see cyrusv2.m4 macro file 2. see cyrus.conf file and directory structure 3. Actual Results: Without modification of the socket path Sendmail fails to connect to the LMTP socket file of Cyrus-IMAPd. Expected Results: Porper communication between both applications. Additional info:
Work-around is to put this in your .mc file: define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS', `FILE /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp')dnl But yes, I found this too in Fedora Core 3; it would be best fixed in the cyrusv2.m4 file in the RPM. Easy fix.
This bug is still unfixed in FC-4test2. Alexander, set attribute Version -> fc4test2, please.
Petr, I followed your suggestion. Thanks for pointing out that the situation is still sub-optimal with current FC4 Test 2, although Cyrus-IMAPd meanwhile is out of the Core and went to Extras. Other than patching the cyrv2.m4 macro file we may go the same road like Postfix was prepared for use of Cyrus-IMAPd: please see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=122910#c5. I think commented entries in the sendmail.mc are a good way to prepare things for users willing to integrate Sendmail and Cyrus-IMAPd. So I suggest adding in sendmail.mc: - in define section: dnl # For using Cyrus-IMAPd as POP3/IMAP server through LMTP delivery uncomment dnl # the following 2 definitions and activate below in the MAILER section the dnl # cyrusv2 mailer. dnl define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2')dnl dnl define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS', `FILE /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp')dnl - at bottom: dnl MAILER(cyrusv2)dnl
Your suggestion is good. I vote for it!
Seems it is fixed in Extras - cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-1.2.fc4 Where sendmail.mc contains: define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS', `FILE /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp') We can close this bug, I think.
Sorry. It is fixed in package sendmail-8.13.4-2 of course.
