The first bonehead maneuver seems to be: location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/virtual I'm thinking it should be: location = virtual:/var/mail/%%d/%%n/mdbox/mailboxes/virtual But...it didn't seem to make a difference. And if I have the "virtual" folder tree under a location other than "/var/mail/domain/user/mdbox/mailboxes" no names appear - so I think I have the files in the right place.
