I am using static uids: mail_uid = vmail mail_gid = vmail user = vmail group = vmail
else it will do what you describe.
Thanks

be a Postfix issue where Postfix still thinks I mailing to local
system users, and running the deliver program under such a userid.
When I start adding users which don't have local system user
equivalents, that's going to be a problemAlso, I'm finding that in mail_location = the variable %d is
empty. It should be the domain. Again, this seems like Postfix is
treating local delivery as all-users-are-equivalent for any local
domain (and that is definitely not the case). So I need to look at
some Postfix config now to see how to make it pass the full email
address (user@domain ... so %n@%d represents the email address),
and to run dovecot/deliver as user vmail.At least I'm not using sendmail :-)
This old legacy "system user" thing is sure a PITA. It should
either be ON or OFF. log files automatically named by the date (and maybe time) ...
kind of like in a shell script I would do:date +/path/to/tree/%Y/%m/% d.logor such.
