Hello!
I've been trying to configure Dovecot to work as LDA for file-based virtual users with Postfix.
Some part in the configuration seems to miss though, as mails are received by Postfix, but instead of giving it to Dovecot for delivery, it delivers the mails itself.
Postfix drops the mail in /var/mail/<user>/mbox, if Dovecot would be called, it should deliver it to /var/vmail/<domain>/<user>/Maildir.
I've made sure to add the dovecot-service to postfix/master.cf according to http://wiki2.dovecot.org/LDA/Postfix and tried all kinds of settings and did quadruple checks for errors.
I'm using Debian 6.0 with Dovecot 2.1.7(From backports) and Postfix 2.7.1
I've been trying to figure out what's missing for a few hours now and have to give up for today. I hope someone can help me with a hint what's missing or wrong :-/
Here's an excerpt from my mail.log, my postconf -n and dovecot -n:
