As a result I have maildirs being created for both (e.g): /var/vmail/bigdomain.com/dirk@bigdomain.com /var/vmail/bigdomain.com/dirk
The actual email is placed in /var/vmail/bigdomain.com/dirk@bigdomain.com, which I am happy with.
I would liek to tidy up the configuration so that these extra maildirs are not created, without breaking everything. Would someone recommend what the best steps are? (other than reinstalling and starting from scratch - Its in production). Write a script that moves all mails from %n to %u directory and then deletes the %n directory. Stop Dovecot, run the script, start Dovecot.
Hi Timo,
Ahh, I see now. %u = the whole email address e.g fred@fred.com, whereas %n = the user name e.g fred, but not fred@fred.com. I thought it was the other way around.
Thus I require %d %u to keep the format /var/vmail/fred.com/fred@fred.com. Thank-you.
