Hello,

That's my problem ...

an IMAP-connection makes the imap-postlogin-script run which creates the virtual directory

but the imap-postlogin-script is not run if dovecot deliver is run by postfix

so, new users cannot receive mail until they make a first connection and the welcome-mail stays in the postfix-queue

Ideally, I would like to "hide" the virtual namespace for deliver; but even if I put the namespace definition in the protocol imap-section, it is still seen by deliver...

Kind regards,

Hello List and Timo,

I configured the virtual mailboxes which are really nice.

To create the virtual-folder, I made a postlogin-script as described in the wiki.

However, as my mail is delivered by dovecot's deliver ... I'm getting errors for people not yet logged in...

Namespace 'virtual.': virtual : Root mail directory doesn't exist: /var/vmail/domain.org/username/virtual

I tried removing the virtual-plugin from the protocol lda-section; and putting the namespace only in the protocol imap-section; but then the error becomes

Namespace 'virtual.': Unknown mail storage driver virtual

After an IMAP login (thanks to the postlogin-script) the virtual folder is created. However, I would prefer that mails to existing users and new users works even before they logged-in (and before the postlogin-script creates the virtual folder).

Any help?

Greetings,

I use Postfix admin ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/postfixadmin/ ) to create the mailboxes. Upon creation a welcome message is sent to the user, and delivering this creates the virtual mailbox.

Regards,

Arne
