[Dovecot] Separate home and mail folders problem on delivery

[Николай]

Hello,

I am using dovecot 1.2rc series on my mail server combined with postfix
( virtual users with postgre ). I have setup separate home and mail
locations. It works fine ( with sieve etc. ). The user home folders are
in /home/vmail/%d/%n and mailboxes are in /srv/mail/%d/%n . The
permissions are fine and everything is working except in the following
case :

If a user does not have a home dir already crated ( the home dirs get
auto created when creating a sieve script through managesieve for
example ), and he recieves a message with an attachment, the delivery
fails with the following error :


May 19 10:47:28 mail postfix/pipe[2759]: 969531007B: to=<office at grandstarco.com>, relay=dovecot, delay=2296, delays=2296/0.2/0/0.06, dsn=4.3.0, status=deferred (temporary failure)

The Dovecot deliver log says :
