[Dovecot] missing .dovecot.lda-dupes file in LDAP/virtual user environment

Hi Timo,
thank you for the quick reply.

I used that for backward compatibility with our old mail system. I didn't
know this was deprecated.

I'm going to try this..

I understand that, but in my environment the "posix" home directory is
stored in another ldap attribute and its structure is completely separated
from the "maildir", something like:

user1 home directory: /users/home/user1 (this resides on a shared NAS )
user1 maildir: /somepath/maildirs/domain/partitionnumber/username/Maildir
(this is a local crypted filesystem with restricted access and a structure I
need to migrate from another system )

Unfortunately I have to maintain this behavior by now..
