I have the following set in the main level of my dovecot.conf file:
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/virtual/%u
I decided to enable the lda protocol for local delivery from postfix,
so I could use sieve plugins. The lda protocol seems to ignore
settings in the rest of the dovecot.conf file, however, such as the
above. Unless lda has a pre-existing maildir mailbox, it can't
create one. How do I give lda defaults to follow, if the above
statement doesn't do it?
Here is the output of dovecot -n
Thanks!
