Just asking: how do you deliver mail to Dovecot so that it needs to know and accept any email addresses? Dovecot doesn't receive nor send mail (from what I know), it only provides access to mailboxes. If Postfix knows to what mailbox it should deliver the mail addressed to particular user (and that's what should be provided by virtual_mailbox_maps), then it's only Dovecot's thing to provide coordination between user's login and the correct mailbox. So for me virtual_alias_maps seems completely unneccessary in your case. What funtion exactly does it provide here? -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub."
