Hi all
I am unsure if dovecot files like userdb and passwd
also need to be postmap'd
i.e.
postmap userdb
or
userdb passwd
when I use the typical data format for creating userdp
postmap outputs the error

See http://wiki.dovecot.org/LDA
Is it possible with a simple config change to make address extensions,
e.g. alice+sa...@example.com, go into a folder, e.g. .INBOX.sales, and
do so ONLY if that folder already exists (and just go into INBOX if it
does not exist)?
