3 postfix seem able to send messages to local virtual users(thanks of ldap/pam ldap authentification). the /var/mail/%u files are up2dated by postfix, but I simply can't get any mails with thoses dovcot logs: pop3-login: Login: mwerly [192.168.1.7] Aug 31 17:47:35 dental01 pop3: I/O leak: 0x8050d70 (0) Aug 31 17:47:35 dental01 pop3: I/O leak: 0x8084db0 (1)
Looks like the only way for those I/O leaks to happen is if user is authenticated ok, but mailbox can't be opened for some reason. I fixed this now and also made it always log at least some error message. The I/O leaks themselves are just warnings that everything wasn't cleaned up properly.
Your real problem is probably that the pop3 user don't have permissions to the mailbox or it doesn't exist.
