[Dovecot] LMTP & home, chroot, mail userdb fields.

[Lev Serebryakov]

Hello, Dovecot.


  I'm using postfix + dovecot with pure virtual users. postfix uses
standard virtual transport, and dovecot fetches such fields from
userdb:

chroot: "/usr/home/hosted/v-mail/%d/%n"
home: "/"
mail: "maildir:."

  Everything works Ok -- dovecot founds users' mail.

  Now, after upgrade to dovecot2, I want to use it LMTP server as
virtual_transport in postifx. I've changed virtual_transport setting
to "lmtp:unix:/var/run/dovecot/lmtp".

 dovecot's LMTP can not deliver messages, because it seems that it
uses userdb fields in some OTHER way. Errors look like this:

Jan 20 12:19:25 lmtp(38939): Info: Connect from local
Jan 20 12:19:25 auth: Info: mysql: Connected to /tmp/mysql.sock (mailhost)

Jan 20 12:19:25 lmtp(38939): Info: Disconnect from local: Client quit

  How should I change my userdb output to make both POP/IMAP and LMTP
 processes happy?
