[Dovecot] Deliver virtual user's mail to a specific namespace?

Hello:
I have virtual users set up for the various mailing lists that I
subscribe to. Everything has been working well in both Postfix and
Dovecot. Postfix is configured to deliver to a specific mbox file within
my mbox mail root. I can access retrieve and read email via Dovecot
without any issues.
Now I want to make my setup more robust and have these messages
delivered to a maildir namespace.
I have configured the LDA within the Postfix master.cf file:
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe
flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f
${sender} -d ${recipient}
I have configured the 'dovecot' transport within Postfix in the
transport file:
test at lists.schang.net dovecot:
In dovecot.conf I have set up the namespace as follows:
namespace private {
separator = /
prefix = "Lists/"
location = maildir:~/MailLists
subscriptions = yes
}
I'm having a hard time specifying the "Lists/" namespace in my userdb
passwd-file:
test:{PLAIN}linux:2000:200::/home/brian::userdb_mail=maildir:Lists/test
I can't get the userdb_mail portion to work. For this user,
'test at lists.schang.net', how do I tell Dovecot/deliver to put the
message in the 'test' mailbox within the 'Lists/' namespace?
I'd appreciate any insight.
Thank you.
