Hi i'm using dovecot with virtual users from a postgresql database backend
on a Debian Lenny system.
I'm using qmail as MTA. Mostly everything seems to work ok , except the fact
that the mail delivered never reaches virtual user's INBOX.
Here's the dovecot config:
dovecot -n
# 1.0.15: /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf
base_dir: /var/run/dovecot/
log_path: /var/log/dovecot.log
log_timestamp: %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S
protocols: imap
ssl_disable: yes
login_dir: /var/run/dovecot/login
login_executable: /usr/lib/dovecot/imap-login
login_greeting: Server ready to process requests.
login_process_per_connection: no
max_mail_processes: 512
verbose_proctitle: yes
first_valid_gid: 61
last_valid_gid: 2003
mail_privileged_group: mail
mail_location: maildir:~/Maildir
mail_debug: yes
mail_plugins: quota autocreate
imap_client_workarounds: outlook-idle delay-newmail
auth default:

passdb:

passdb:

userdb:

client:

mode: 432
master:
path: /var/run/dovecot/auth-master
mode: 384
user: root
group: mail
plugin:
quota: maildir
acl: vfile:/etc/dovecot-acls
trash: /etc/dovecot-trash.conf
lazy_expunge: .EXPUNGED/ .DELETED/ .DELETED/.EXPUNGED/
autocreate: Trash
autocreate2: Spam
The setup is as follows:
I've created a system user named vmail in /home with a group also called
vmail.
The virtual users are created in /home/vmail/username when i configure an
account from thunderbird.
If I send an message from a virtual user to an system user everythings is ok.
The system user get's the mail in his Maildir.
But if I send a message from the system user to the virtual user the MTA's
log says that the message has been delivered but it never reaches virtual
user's INBOX.
Here's a snip from logs both qmail's and dovecot's:
