According to http:\/\/wiki.dovecot.org\/LDA\/Sendmail the mailertable setup should be as follow:
\nvirtualdomain.example.com dovecot:dovecot<\/p>\n
It means: <\/p>\n
domain mailer:user<\/p>\n
Well, this setup seems to be incorrect, since you can deliver to username only using local mailer.<\/p>\n
Therefore I have used Sendmail’s feature “local_procmail” to replace default local mailer with Dovecot’s deliver:<\/p>\n
This is what I have configured in my sendmail.mc:<\/p>\n
FEATURE(`local_procmail’, `\/usr\/libexec\/dovecot\/deliver’, `deliver -d $u’, `SPhnu9′)dnl
\nMODIFY_MAILER_FLAGS(`LOCAL’, `-f’)
\nMAILER(local)dnl<\/p>\n
This is output of cat \/etc\/mail\/sendmail.cf | grep Mlocal:<\/p>\n
Mlocal, P=\/usr\/libexec\/dovecot\/deliver, F=lsDFMAw5:\/|@qSPhnu9, S=EnvFromL\/HdrFromL, R=EnvToL\/HdrToL,<\/p>\n
Well, the documentation on Dovecot’s site also forgets to mention that for this to work the target hostname cannot be in Sendmail’s class w.<\/p>\n
The mailertable support in the documentation seems to aim to direct all the mail coming to a particular domain to mailer dovecot and user dovecot which I accomplished.<\/p>\n
However:<\/p>\n
In the dovecot.log we may see that while we are sending email to test@example.com it not performs lookup for the addressee but for user dovecot!<\/p>\n
