sounds to me like some kind of user/group permissions problem... On 4/17/06, Marc-Andr?

This error anyway means that your default_mail_env (or mail from userdb) doesn't tell Dovecot what /var/vmail/maddy.cc/contact/ is. Is it a mbox or maildir? So prefix the path with mbox: or maildir: and it should work. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
