well, I tried, but with no luck. LDA still wants to deliver to
/var/mail, as before.

I am pretty sure that it must work somehow to fetch all data from a
database, because it did before. It would be really strange if someone
would have culled that functionaility. I am just not yet sure whether
it's just me not getting it right, or whether there's actually a bug.

Next stop: Read Dovecot's source code (I dread that), unless someone
comes up with a better idea.

Please.

 
Thanks,
Toni
