Re: [Dovecot] mail delivery location wrong
looks like your missing the -d option to lda.
Quoting Firma Averlon :
Hi,
thanks for offering the oportunity to place a question here.
I am now already working since a week to get postfix and dovecot
working on a ubuntu 11.04 server.
Hard task. First step was naturally to get familiar with the idea
behind the archtitecture.
I have come very far, but the "last dirty mile" is probably the hardest.
My architecture:
Postfix
Dovecot
OpenLDAP
Thunderbird as client with pop3
I can meanwhile send e-mails and open my mailbox in thunderbird (not
receiving mails so far).
The reason why not receiving e-Mails is simply: When sending the
mails they are stored in a different directory as where dovecot will
look for them
Error message from log:

Although, when authenticating, the result is:

The following settings are in place:
main.cf of postfix:
virtual_mailbox_domains = /etc/postfix/vhosts
virtual_mailbox_base = /home/vmail
virtual_mailbox_maps = ldap:/etc/postfix/ldap-virtual.cf
virtual_minimum_uid = 1000
virtual_uid_maps = static:5000
virtual_gid_maps = static:5000
virtual_transport = dovecot
mailbox_command = /usr/lib/dovecot/deliver
beside others.
master.cf of postfix
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f
${sender} -a ${recipient}
dovecot.conf
sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail
mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir
beside others.
I guess, these are the ones influencing where to store the mail and
pick it up.
A list of the related filesystem:
/home/vmail/
drwx-w--w- 4 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-08 08:56 av.loc/
drwx-- 3 vmail vmail 4096 2011-08-08 09:42 vmail/
Wher you can see, the structure according "mail_location" parameter
of dovecot.conf does show effect, but the mails are stored in
/home/vmail//vmail.".
The whole bunch of documentation I have read meanwhile makes my head
circle around.
You could hopefully give me some help.

Re: [Dovecot] mail delivery location wrong
Hi Jerry, thanks for reply. In fact, I tried already without but with the same result. As far as I understand the documentation with dovecot all "normal" params are related to local mailboxes/users/domains and all "virtual." params take effect for virtual mailboxes and they do not interfere with each other. Anyhow. Behaviour does not change without it. Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards Hr.
