I didn't see a response. Sending again and adding doveconf -n output.
----
I'm trying to put virtual user mail in:
/var/vmail/<domain>/<user-local-part>
I tried setting the home field in the userdb to /var/vmail/%d/%n
But apparently variable expansion doesn't happen in the userdb because the
Dovecot LDA created the literal directory /var/vmail/%d/%n/Maildir
So then I tried to use default_fields as shown here:
http://wiki2.dovecot.org/AuthDatabase/PasswdFile
So I tried:
userdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/auth.d/%d/passwd
default_fields = home=/var/vmail/%d/%n
}
But when I reload doveadm I get:
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/local.conf line
87: Unknown setting: default_fields
I tried override_fields:
userdb {
driver = passwd-file
args = username_format=%n /etc/dovecot/auth.d/%d/passwd
override_fields = home=/var/vmail/%d/%n
}
And I get the same type of error:
doveconf: Fatal: Error in configuration file /etc/dovecot/local.conf line
87: Unknown setting: override_fields
What gives?
