Well, first of all, why are you using mbox?
truncated output from my doeveconf -n
# for Local users
mail_location = maildir:~/Maildir
For SQL users
userdb {
args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf.ext
default_fields = uid=vpopmail gid=vchkpw mail_location=/usr/local/virtual/%u
driver = sql
}
Notice that using default_fields I am able to respecify the mail_location for
the sql users. You should be able to do something similar, right?
Of course, you are using dovecot 1.x, so maybe it's more difficult?
Still, mbox is bad. No one should use mbox.
Ok I've switched to Dovecot version 2 which indeed allows to use a per
userdb mail location (mail= instead of mail_location). As for maildir
versus mbox I was able to turn to maildir for the local users which
messages are delivered by procmail. For the virtual users,
unfortunately for now, my smtp daemon, postoffice smtpd, is only mbox
capable with no alternate LDA possibility.

Thanks to all!
