after adding the required command in main.cf mailbox_transport = lmtp:unix:/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp I'm now getting the following error Jun 30 23:05:24 mmtlnx postfix/qmgr[13978]: 05C4A19B8A: from=<839556+2D3-jlmiller=mmtnetworks.com.au@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, size=4281, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jun 30 23:05:24 mmtlnx postfix/lmtp[14146]: 05C4A19B8A: to=<jlmiller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>, relay=none, delay=3, status=deferred (connect to /var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp[/var/lib/imap/socket/lmtp]: Permission denied) I'm using: Suse Linux Enterprise Server v 10 SP1 (will be moving to SP4) Unfortunately I find the documentation not as clear as I had hoped. Also do I need to make any changes to my transport table?
