 |
|
After several years postfix stopped delivering emails to dovecot on my local server. For me it seems to have stopped working after a larger update. (I update this machine not very regular every few weeks.) During this update dovecot was updated from 2.3.21.1 to 2.3.21.1-r1 along with many other packages.
/var/log/mail.log
| Code: | | May 14 18:07:57 steward postfix/qmgr[13316]: warning: connect to transport private/dovecot: Connection refused |
dovecot -n: *former a pastebin url*
postconf -f: *former a pastebin url*
I tried to figure out what happend or if I had to change config, but I'm stuck. Any help appreciated. Thank you in advance.

| Code: | | virtual_transport = dovecot |
What is in master.cf about the dovecot service? Anonymize any sensitive info.
You can get this easily by running: postconf -Mf dovecot |

Master.cf did not contain any info about dovecot. I replaced master.cf with an older backup containing the dovecot entry. Now it works again.
Thank you! |
