I'm trying to get cyrus 2.2. on debian to accept mail for user bar. When exim4 sends the message to cyrus, this is the result. May 21 02:03:15 test-mail cyrus/master[17448]: about to exec /usr/lib/cyrus/bin/lmtpd May 21 02:03:15 test-mail cyrus/lmtpunix[17448]: executed May 21 02:03:15 test-mail cyrus/lmtpunix[17448]: accepted connection May 21 02:03:15 test-mail cyrus/lmtpunix[17448]: lmtp connection preauth'd as postman May 21 02:03:15 test-mail cyrus/lmtpunix[17448]: verify_user(foo.com!user.bar) failed: Mailbox does not exist This is strange, since the user certainly does exist: localhost.test.com> lm user/bar@xxxxxxx (\HasNoChildren) But when I try to operate upon the user in cyradmin, I get told that it doesn't exits, which is strange cause lm just listed the user: localhost.test.com> lam user/bar@xxxxxxx Mailbox does not exist localhost.test.com> So I get no mail delivered. What is going on? Am I missing something?
