Hi, Thank you. I configured mail home and mail location to point to different places: mail_home to /home/virtual0/%d/%n and, respectively, mail_location to maildir:/home/virtual0/%d/%n/Maildir Now the initial error: "Error: lmtp-server: conn unix:pid=40487,uid=107 [22]: rcpt user@domain: stat(/home/virtual0/domain/user/.dovecot.lda-dupes/tmp) failed: Not a directory" does no longer appear in the mail log, but in the user home directory there is still this folder showing up *.dovecot.lda-dupes.locks,* but this time it is empty, it has no "/cur", "/tmp", "/new" directories.
# ls -lha /home/virtual0/domain/user total 32K drwx------ 5 vmail mail 8.0K Dec 6 09:19 . drwx------ 4 vmail mail 152 Dec 6 08:50 .. -rw------- 1 vmail mail 568 Dec 6 09:19 .dovecot.lda-dupes drwx------ 2 vmail mail 152 Dec 6 09:19 .dovecot.lda-dupes.locks lrwxrwxrwx 1 vmail mail 23 Dec 6 08:33 .dovecot.sieve -> sieve/sieve.sieve.sieve -rw------- 1 vmail mail 323 Dec 6 09:19 .dovecot.svbin drwxr-xr-x 10 vmail mail 8.0K Dec 6 09:20 Maildir drwx------ 3 vmail mail 152 Dec 6 09:18 sieve

Hi Adrian, Aurel.
I am not sure why Adrian consider that .dovecot.lda-dupes would have been changed like this?
Your problem is that you have configured mail home and mail location to point to same place, causing dovecot to consider .dovecot.lda-dupes as a maildir folder.
This is a very common misconfiguration, which leads into exactly this kind of issues.
The recommended configuration is to configure mail_location=maildir:~/mail to avoid this issue.

Hi Aurel, apparently before 2.3.17 '.dovecot.lda-dupes' and '.dovecot.lda-dupes.lock' where files, but starting with this release they are full folders with cur/new/tmp in them.
Don't know if this is a bug or something is missing from the docs.
