HI,
I have a working exim4 + dovecot system that uses system user folders for
the inbox.
exim4:
domains = dsearch;/etc/exim4/virtual
dovecot:
mail_location = mbox:~/mail:INBOX=/var/mail/%u
- I would like to add additional virtual accounts using the method
described in this post:
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/302
exim4:
/etc/exim4/conf.d/router/360_exim4-local_vdom_aliases
vdom_aliases_maildir:
debug_print = "R: vdom_aliases_maildir for $local_part@$domain"
driver = redirect
allow_defer
allow_fail
domains = dsearch;/var/mail/virtual
data = /var/mail/virtual/$domain/$local_part/
directory_transport = address_directory
pipe_transport = address_pipe
file_transport = address_file
dovecot:
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/%d/%n/
auth_userdb = passwd-file /etc/passwd.imap
- I have read about "Namespace" but I am not sure if they will work with
virtual pop3 and virtual imap accounts. as I also want to keep the
existing pop3 setup without have to modify the location of the inbox for
existing accounts pop3 accounts.
It seems that exim4 is fine with this method but I am not sure about
dovecot. Is it possible to have pop3 and imap running while also using
multiple delivery folder locations for the mail_location directive?
