Hi Andreas
I sort of have it working but am still not quite there...
I have created virtual users with homes under their mail folders (using mbox), as recommended in the Dovecot Wiki VirtualUsers section.
Hi,
The examples I gave, and the setup I have running, are for system users with real accounts. I don't know how this would translate for virtual users although it should be doable. Unfortunately I don't have the possibility to create a test setup that matches yours at the moment so I'm afraid I don't think I can help you much more.
I'd try, however, to correct the errors the log files show you, and while you are at it, you might want to ditch mbox for Maildir, if you can afford to do so. I also think you should run Getmail as the vmail user in order to have an easier time with permissions, especially if you have a virtual domain hosting setup that involves Postfix (or any MTA, really) as well.
Finally, you should head over to the Getmail mailing list and ask about using Getmail with virtual users there. Charles, the author of Getmail, is really helpful if you ask him the right questions the right way :)
