Mailbox location

[Tobias]

Hi Doug,

"home" from your userdb query will dictate where mail will be dropped.

If you want to store in /var/mail/home_mail/<user_without_domain>, then 
use %n. You were almost there with /%d/%n in your current configuration, 
posted below, just remove the %d completely.

http://wiki.dovecot.org/Variables

The domain part is added by postfix. Postfix most often requires some 
kind of domain, and if not added will append one (unless you have an 
unorthodox configuration). It's not recommended to remove this feature 
from your postfix configuration.
