[Dovecot] Problem: dovecot-lda doesn't auto-create folders
Hello everyone, I recently updated to dovecot 2.0.19 (in fact, I updated the whole system to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, I am using the dovecot from the Ubuntu packages) and just today found out that the dovecot-lda for some reason doesn't auto-create missing folders anymore as it did with my old installation (1.0.10).
I have a "system users" layout and send my mails through a user-specific procmail filter. Every delivery in those filters is done via dovecot-lda using a line list this:
|$DELIVER -d archive -m lists.hylafax-
date "+%Y%m"
where $DELIVER is set to
DELIVER="/usr/bin/sudo /usr/lib/dovecot/dovecot-lda"
(I use the sudo because some of the procmail lines deliver the mail to folders in a different user's mailbox.)
This works fine for all users, unless the mail folder to be delivered to doesn't exist yet. Here's an example of such a delivery attempt:
Oct 01 10:57:09 lda: Debug: auth input: archive system_groups_user=archive uid=1002 gid=1002 home=/home/archive Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Effective uid=1002, gid=1002, home=/home/archive Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Namespace : type=private, prefix=, sep=/, inbox=yes, hidden=no, list=yes, subscriptions=yes location=maildir:/home/archive/Maildir Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: maildir++: root=/home/archive/Maildir, index=, control=, inbox=/home/archive/Maildir, alt= Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: none: root=, index=, control=, inbox=, alt= Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Destination address: xxx@xxxx.de (source: user@hostname) Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Namespace : /home/archive/Maildir/.lists.hylafax-201210 doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /home/archive/Maildir: mode=0755 gid=-1 Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Namespace : /home/archive/Maildir/.lists.hylafax-201210 doesn't exist yet, using default permissions Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Debug: Namespace : Using permissions from /home/archive/Maildir: mode=0755 gid=-1 Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Info: msgid=201210010954.02813.hylafax_resp@earthshod.co.uk: save failed to open mailbox lists.hylafax-201210: Mailbox doesn't exist: lists.hylafax-201210 Oct 01 10:57:09 lda(archive): Info: msgid=201210010954.02813.hylafax_resp@earthshod.co.uk: saved mail to INBOX
Can anyone tell me what goes wrong here and how to fix it? From what I could find out dovecot-lda should auto-create those mailbox folders, but somehow it doesn't. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance Kasi Mir

parameters
lda_mailbox_autocreate lda_mailbox_autosubscribe D*mn, I fell into the trap again. I was searching for such parameters before posting my question here, but couldn't find them - because I was looking in the 1.x docmentation, not the 2.x one. Thanks for pointing
