I did some troubleshooting and I don't understand where the MKDIR(/VAR/WWW/MAIL) is coming from. Mailboxes are in /var/mail and
^^ /var/mail contains the INBOX only
sending/receiving emails is working as it always did.
mail_location is still setup to be MAIL_LOCATION = MBOX:~/MAIL:INBOX=/VAR/MAIL/%U
Everything else is in ~/MAIL (why uppercase?)
Why is it trying a mkdir in /var/www?
Because most likely /var/www is the home directory of www-data and you've configured to use $HOME/MAIL as base directory, which is /var/www/mail

I don't know where the uppercase is coming from. In the email I've sent its lower case.
How can I fix that without changing permissions of /var/www? Where is $HOME/MAIL configured? Why do I get this error now for the first time, when there was no change to the system configuration?
Probably someone attempted to send email via a crappy script and
it's now trying to deliver to www-data.first_valid_uid = 1001 last_valid_uid = 1001
also, doveconf -n would be useful. Aki
Here is doveconf -n: https://pastebin.com/raw/s6cKwHGc
