I try to get postfix and dovecot up and running.
I have a little problem with the mail-box path that connects both.
**Postfix**
virtual_mailbox_base = /var/vmail
virtual_mailbox_domains = mydom.org
This creates a file
/var/vmail/mydom.org/sam
as an mbox-file if I send to sam@mydom.org. The sent mail is inside of that file.
So far - so good.
But in dovecot I have this for a virtual user.
sam@mydom.org:{PLAIN}mysecret:5000:5000::/var/vmail/mydom.org::userdb_mail=mbox:~/%u
That creates
/var/vmail/mydom.org/sam@mydom.org/inbox
after successful login.
So my POP3-client finds always an empty mailbox. If I copy the postfix-mailbox to the inbox-file, then POP3 gets the message.
How do I get dovecot to use the postfix-mailbox or postfix to use the dovecot-file?
I tried several settings in dovecot but I did not get it going to use the posfix-file as it is.
Thanks!
