[Dovecot] Dovecot delivering mail in the wrong directory location
Hello everybody,my new server is setup with postfix as a MTA and dovecot as
a MDA,
mysql is used as a user db, and postfixadmin is used to setup accounts.
Login via pop works fine, also sending via smtp works fine.
HOWEVER: when i sent a mail by hand via smtp it is delivered in the wrong
directory.
For example for test at xdatasystem.com i have the following directory:
/home/vmail/xdatasystem.com/test
However the mail is delivered to this directory:
/home/vmail/test at xdatasystem.com/
I cannot figure this out as dovecot is correctly configured. ( think)
Here is the important part of my dovecot.conf (sorry for the indents):
=== DOVECOT.CONF ==*disable_plaintext_auth = no*
*log_timestamp = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S "*
*mail_location = maildir:/home/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir*
*mail_access_groups = vmail*
*first_valid_uid = 100*
*first_valid_gid = 100*
*
*
*protocol imap {*
*}*
*
*
*protocol pop3 {*
*pop3_uidl_format = %08Xu%08Xv*
*}*
*auth default {*
*mechanisms = digest-md5 plain*
*passdb sql {*
*args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf*
*}*
*#userdb sql {*
*#args = /etc/dovecot/dovecot-sql.conf*
*#}*
*
*
*userdb static {*
*args = uid=vmail gid=vmail home=/home/vmail/%d/%n*
* }*
*
*
*user = root*
*}*
=== DOVECOT.CONF ==
Has anybody a clue?
Maybe is postfix not correctly forwarding mails to dovecat?
