I think I just fixed the problem but I am not sure if I did it the right way.. It seems that it is postfix that did it, not dovecot. I found this in the log for every local message...
Sep 26 11:10:10 zeus postfix/local[14565]: 9B0294AA15E: to=<vmail@my.domain.com>, orig_to=<vmail>, relay=local, delay=9, delays=9/0.01/0/0.02, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (delivered to mailbox)
So, I went to the postfix master.cf and commented out this line...
#local unix - n n - - local
Was that the correct way to do it?
Hello Mike,
You probably have cured the symptoms... ;-)
Your cron command has very likely been built for making use of the sendmail command. When facing a "naked" recipient address such as "vmail", Postfix' sendmail will look for an alias, then for a system user bearing that name. There's probably no alias for "vmail", but you clearly have a system user named "vmail"; so, sendmail will proceed with a local delivery for user "vmail".
So, you could for example define an alias:
vmail: yourself@your.virtual.domainsince you're potentially more interested than user vmail in the messages emitted by the cron job.
Or add such a line to your crontab:
MAIL=yourself@your.virtual.domainso as to override the default recipient, ie the user the job runs as.
