[Dovecot] dovecot 1.2.11 + virtual plugin + deliver

[Stef Simoens]

Hello,

That's my problem ...

an IMAP-connection makes the imap-postlogin-script run which creates the 
virtual directory

but the imap-postlogin-script is not run if dovecot deliver is run by 
postfix

so, new users cannot receive mail until they make a first connection
and the welcome-mail stays in the postfix-queue

Ideally, I would like to "hide" the virtual namespace for deliver; but 
even if I put the namespace definition in the protocol imap-section, it 
is still seen by deliver...

Kind regards,
