# doveadm user flindner userdb lookup: user flindner doesn't exist
flindner is my linux system user. There are virtual user, e.g
In your log excerpt I've seen '/home/flindner/…', so I thought there could be the user flindner.
# doveadm user spam@xgm.de userdb: spam@xgm.de home : /home/flindner/Mail/spam uid : 1001 gid : 1001
/home/flindner/Mail/spam is the home and maildir of virtual user.
That could cause several problems. For example that problem you've reported. The simplest solution would be setting "mail_location=~maildir:~/Maildir" in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-mail.conf.
With this configuration Dovecot will use /home/flindner/Mail/spam/Maildir as mail location for user spam@xgm.de.
My mail system is built like that:
postfix delivers all mail of a domain to maildrop using a system user which have this domain assigned. maildrop does the final delivery. There is no 1:1 mapping of mail adresses to maildirs.
postfix @xgm.de -> maildrop flindner -> maildrop -> maildir <- dovecot IMAP this should become:
postfix @xgm.de -> maildrop flindner -> maildrop -> dovecot-lda -> maildir <- dovecot IMAP
so that I can also use sieve for filtering.
When using Sieve it's also strongly recommended to have $home != $mail. With the settings from above you could use 'default' settings for Sieve, e.g.:
# 15-lda.conf
protocol lda {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
# 20-lmtp.conf
protocol lmtp {
mail_plugins = $mail_plugins sieve
}
# 90-sieve.conf
plugin {
recipient_delimiter = +
sieve = ~/.dovecot.sieve
sieve_dir = ~/sieve
}Then the file /home/flindner/Mail/spam/.dovecot.sieve would contain the Sieve rules for user spam@xgm.de.
