Oh, thanks; I should’ve realized I could just add another map to local_recipient_maps. D’oh!
My Dovecot setup uses MySQL to identify users+passwords. I assume you’re asking that because (as I just discovered) PostFix nominally supports MySQL, but OTOH “postconf -m” doesn’t list the “mysql” lookup table type, so it’s not supported on the distribution that comes with MacOS. That said, for the one login user, I had been specifying: # main.cf home_mailbox = Maildir/ but my Dovecot setup stores the base directory path in the MySQL DB. For non-login users, that base directory is of course not relative to the user's “home directory”, since non-login users have no “home directory”. (For login users, the base directory just happens to point to their home directory.) I guess Dovecot’s LDA would consult the MySQL DB to find the user's Maildir, but perhaps PostFix’s invocation of the Dovecot LDA overrides the path using the “home_mailbox”. (?) In that case, without virtual_mailbox_base, I don’t see how to point PostFix to the right Maildir for non-login users. Thanks so much for the help!!
