[Dovecot] 2nd Question on v1.0 setup and maildir

[Patrick Carney]

Correction. Yes it should be /home/Patrick/Maildir/new/

My mistake. Yes it is a sendmail problem.

| Hello all.
| 
|  
| 
| I appreciate the responses to my problem on v0.99.14. Thank you all.

Tell us the exact path where the mail ends up since \maildir\new is NOT
a Unix file path.

Mail should be delivered to /home/patrick/Maildir/new/

If it is not ending there, it's Sendmail problem, not Dovecot.

Wherever the mail ends, you can fix that default_mail_env to get it....

Let's know where Sendmail delivers the mail (I mean the directory path).

It wasn't that she had a rose in her teeth, exactly.  It was more like
the rose and the teeth were in the same glass.
