http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-1.2/rev/6d7f6ea02e17 makes it log the current directory in the above error message when the path is relative.
Ok, that helps to see what's wrong, thanks:
Jul 8 20:50:16 prometheus dovecot: deliver(jd@danjou.info): mkdir_parents_chown(danjou.info/jd/) in directory /var/spool/postfix failed: Permission denied (euid=8(mail) egid=8(mail)) Jul 8 20:50:16 prometheus dovecot: deliver(jd@danjou.info): copy: i_stream_read() failed: No such file or directory
Of course, that fails.
The thing is that danjou.info/jd/ is the homedir of the user (returned by SQL), and as you saw in my dovecot.conf, there's nothing like /var/spool/postfix for mail_location:
mail_location = maildir:/var/mail/vmail/%h /var/spool/postfix is probably the directory where postfix starts dovecot, since it's the home for postfix user.
I smell (did not dig into the code) that there's a chdir() to mail_location that is missing for a reason I don't know.
(FWIW, I know have 4 mails in Postfix queue on 4 differents account stuck, whereas I still receive others mail without any problems (since I read you ;-).
