Hi All I am migrating from dovecot-1.x where I had LDA running to dovecot2-2.2.26.0_1 where I am trying to set up LMTP. I have enabled a TCP/IP socket .Setting below. service lmtp { inet_listener lmtp { address = 127.0.0.1 port = 24 } }
and put this additional entry in postfix virtual_transport = lmtp:127.0.0.1:24
in 10-mail.conf my mail location is below mail_location=maildir:~/Maildir:INBOX=~/Maildir/:INDEX=~/Maildir/tmp/index
My problem is that when I enable lmtp, dovecot creates a new maildir at /home/vmail/user@domain.com and delivers the email there in a Maildir instead of using the default one at /home/vmail/username
I researched it but I just can't seem to figure out why this is. I would really appreciate any help on this. Thanks in advance.
You probably have something like
mail_home=/home/vmail/%u
change that to
mail_home=/home/vmail/%Ln # (lowercase username)
you can verify this with
doveadm user username@domain.com
