Hey,
thank you soooo much for that snippet. I think i finally understood it
and it works now. I had to addapt your config a little bit but it works
now. I use basically your config with the action changed to the following:
action "local-lmtp" lmtp "/var/dovecot/lmtp" rcpt-to virtual <vmailstub>
At first i give it a try without the rcpt-to option to lmtp, but without
that Dovecot always rejected the email for the user "vmail". But now
with the rcpt-to it works perfectly.
Thank you all so much for the help and greetings from Vienna

This is one possible configuration which should do that which I think
you are describing:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
table vdomains file:/etc/mail/table_vmail_domains
table vaddr file:/etc/mail/table_vmail_addresses
table vmailstub { '@' = vmail }
action "deliver_vmail" maildir
"/home/vmail/domains/%{rcpt.domain:lowercase}/%{rcpt.user:lowercase|strip}"
virtual <vmailstub>
match from any for domain <vdomains> rcpt-to <vaddr> action "deliver_vmail"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This setup accepts mail ONLY for virtual accounts and delivers it to a
typical "vpopmail" maildir structure: "/home/vmail/domain/name"
You must create a system user "vmail" which does not receive any mail
but is just the home folder for the mailboxes and the user for
permission to deliver the mail.
Automate making the domains file with a script which extracts the unique
domains from the addresses file. The redundancy here is due to the
smtpd.conf requirements (i.e. not because I think it's cool to have both
domain and email address files).
If it's not clear, I can elaborate on how it works.
