Hi,

I'm setting up dovecot pop3 deamon for a small set of mailbox.

I want to be able to set a small set of mailbox simply, so I've used "passdb passwd-file" + virtual mailboxes with "userdb static". My problem is that it seems that postfix accept and create mailbox for every address I post. It is configured to use local delivery through dovecot's deliver.

How do I force deliver to retrun an error if the destination is not defined in the passwd-file? The doc said that "userdb static" should do a lookup automatically. But no luke for me. Is it really a deliver problem, or a postfix configuration problem?

Any, hint?

Regards, Sylvain.
