dovecot - Feb 2006 - LDAP mailLocation weirdness

Hi,

I've reported this some month ago before (without response), but still 
I have no clue what is going wrong.

Our installation is LDAP based (for virtual hosting) and up to I think 
alpha2 or 3 everything was working as expected. The trouble I have is 
that dovecot does not correctly use the information it gets about 
mailLocation.

This is what is stored in the MailMessageStore attribute for a user
"f.someone":

mbox:/virtual/oeush.at/var/mail/f.someone:INBOX=/virtual/oeush.at/var/mail/f.someone

now despite of this setting, this user is unable to fetch any mail, 
because dovecot partially ignores this setting:

---------CUT---------
dovecot: Feb 04 12:20:42 Info: pop3(f.someone.oeush.at): Effective uid=200,
gid=4000
dovecot: Feb 04 12:20:42 Info: pop3(f.someone.oeush.at): mbox:
data=/virtual/oeush.at/home/f.someone/mail/:INBOX=/var/mail/f.someone.oeush.at
dovecot: Feb 04 12:20:42 Info: pop3(f.someone.oeush.at): mbox:
root=/virtual/oeush.at/home/f.someone/mail,
index=/virtual/oeush.at/home/f.someone/mail, inbox=/var/mail/f.someone.oeush.at
---------CUT---------

As you can see, dovecot uses /virtual/oeush.at/... both for data and index
but not for inbox, where it uses /var/mail/...

My LDAP configuration for the mailLocation settings looks like this:

---------CUT---------
# User attributes in order:
#  Virtual user name (user at domain)
#  Home directory
#  MAIL environment
#  System user name (for getting user's groups from /etc/group)
#    - For virtual users you don't want to use this, so this defaults to
none.
#  System UID
#  System GID
user_attrs = uid,homeDirectory,MailMessageStore,,uidNumber,gidNumber
---------CUT---------

So where am I wrong?

That's probably from default_mail_env?

Try this:

user_attrs =
homeDirectory=home,uidNumber=uid,gidNumber=gid,MailMessageStore=mail
