Ok, here's one for the idiot file. I just installed dovecot-1.0.4 on my
personal system for testing, a system which has to be the simplest
dovecot configuration possible. deliver is barking about something with
which version 1.0.3 has no problem. I looked over the wiki, googled,
and see nothing wrong.
The error:
deliver(jjb): Sep 07 21:39:40 Fatal: Failed to create storage for 'jjb'
with mail
'mbox:/HOME_DIRECTORY_USED_BUT_NOT_GIVEN_BY_USERDB/:INBOX=/var/mail/jjb'
In dovecot.conf:
userdb passwd {
# [blocking=yes] - By default the lookups are done in the main
dovecot-auth
# process. This setting causes the lookups to be done in auth worker
# processes. Useful with remote NSS lookups that may block.
# NOTE: Be sure to use this setting with nss_ldap or users might get
# logged in as each others!
#args args = blocking=yes
}
and
mail_location = mbox:~/:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
Clues generously accepted,
