[Dovecot] Postfix Query

Hello,

Another question!!

Was just trying to sort out mail delivery to subdomains. I set up my
system so that I have a mail address of tim at subdomain.example.com. I've
sorted out Postfix to correctly identify this and pass on to Dovecot for
delivery but Dovecot doesn't seem to deliver where I want it to. Ideally
I would like to have a structure so that mail is delivered to

/var/mail/example.com/subdomain/user

My users are stored in MySQL and they are being pulled out correctly,
but dovecot is delivering to

/var/mail/subdomain.example.com/tim

Looking at my logs it seems that the mail location is being picked up
not being acted on...

May 10 21:51:20 auth(default): Info: master out: USER	1
tim at subdomain.example.com	maildir=example.com/subdomain/tim	uid=mailuser
gid=mailgroup	quota_rule=*:bytes=2147483647

...a bit further down...

May 10 21:51:20 deliver(tim at subdomain.example.com): Info: auth input:
maildir=example.com/subdomain/tim

...then further down it seems to change all of a sudden...

May 10 21:51:20 deliver(tim at subdomain.example.com): Info: maildir:
data=/var/mail/subdomain.example.com/tim/Maildir
May 10 21:51:20 deliver(tim at subdomain.example.com): Info: maildir++:
root=/var/mail/subdomain.example.com/tim/Maildir, index=, control=,
inbox=/var/mail/subdomain.example.com/tim/Maildir

Bit confused! Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers,

Tim
