[Dovecot] Configuring for virtual users in Postfix
FreeBSD-7.2 with Postfix-2.7x
OK, this is my first attempt to configure Dovecot using Postfix and virtual users.
In the LDA.Postfix.txt file, there is a reference to making the following setting:
dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 virtual_mailbox_domains = your.domain.here virtual_transport = dovecot
However, Postfix does not recognize the dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 setting. There is a "virtual_destination_recipient_limit =" setting in Postfix. Is that the setting that I should tweak?

There is no TRUTH. There is no REALITY. There is no CONSISTENCY. There are no ABSOLUTE STATEMENTS. I'm very probably wrong.

What do you mean it does not recognize it?
If you mean it doesn't show up in output of postconf -n, thats normal (though irritating). Here's a quote from Wietse about this in response to someone else's question about the same thing:
"The postconf command does not read master.cf, therefore parameters such as "transport"_destination_recipient_limit parameters usually don't appear in postconf output."

No... is something not working right?

I am not sure yet. I am still configuring Dovecot. I have just started using Virtual users/domains in Postfix and now want to incorporate Dovecot into the mix.
I did just Googled around and found out about the dovecot_destination_recipient_limit = 1 setting though.
I am just about to start up a test box to try everything out. I have one more question. Will Dovecot create the directory structure or do I have to create it myself.
EXAMPLE:
maildir directory: /var/mail/vhost/<domain>/<user>/{cur,new,tmp}
If just the "/var/mail/vhost" structure exists, will Dovecot complete the directory structure?

They are relatively good but absolutely terrible.

Have you also populated the LDA to 'master.cf'?
dovecot unix - n n - - pipe flags=DRhu user=vmail:vmail argv=/usr/lib/dovecot/deliver -f ${sender} -d ${recipient}
