Either I'm confused or you're using the incorrect syntax. To deliver to a user-specific folder via LMTP, the address should be [EMAIL PROTECTED] If the folder doesn't exist (or doesn't allow posting by the [un]authenticated user, then the message *will* go to the user's INBOX. Thanks for that information, as you say, using plus as the separator delivers to the folder if there is a suitable acl or to the inbox if not. Using a dot to separate the username and foldername certainly works and the delivery takes place without any acl on the folder. Hmm, its probably because you are running deliver as the recipient user and the mailbox name is taken literally (as the internal name). It is lmtpd which is delivering direct to the folder, not deliver. Using lmtp, if I give an address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] and the folder user.username.folder exists then delivery takes place, even without an ACL.
