hi, i try to use dovecot lda with postfix virtual delivery, but i've got error. the maildirs are created ie: new/, tmp/, curr/, dovecot.index, dovecot.index.log, .dovecot.lda-dupes. but the mail is not placed into it and got and error: "save failed to INBOX". what can be the reason? thank you for your help in advance. yours.

# ls -ald /var/vmail/ drwxrwx--- 3 vmail mail 4096 Feb 15 14:08 /var/vmail/

this's the relevant part my dovecot.conf:

mail_location = maildir:/var/vmail/%d/%u mail_extra_groups = mail mail_debug = yes mmap_disable = yes first_valid_uid = 101 last_valid_uid = 101 maildir_copy_with_hardlinks = yes protocol lda { mail_plugins = quota log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log info_log_path = /var/log/dovecot-deliver.log } auth_verbose = yes auth_debug = yes auth_debug_passwords = yes auth default { mechanisms = plain passdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf } userdb sql { args = /etc/dovecot/sql.conf } userdb prefetch { } user = nobody socket listen { master { path = /var/run/dovecot/auth-master mode = 0660 user = vmail group = mail } client { path = /var/spool/postfix/private/auth mode = 0660 user = postfix group = mail } } }

this is the log in maillog:
