Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble getting postfix + dovecot to work correctly. It seems like Postfix is receiving and delivering the emails correctly but dovecot is placing/looking for them in the wrong folder therefore the clients aren't receiving any new emails.

I switched from courier and followed a tutorial found here: http://library.linode.com/email/postfix/dovecot-mysql-debian-5-lenny

Dovecot's log:

deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: Module loaded: /usr/lib/dovecot/modules/lda/lib90_cmusieve_plugin.so deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: auth input: adomain.com/test/@adomain.com deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: auth input: uid=5000 deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: auth input: gid=5000 deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: auth input: home=/home/vmail/adomain.com/adomain.com/test/ deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: maildir: data=/home/vmail/adomain.com/adomain.com/test/ deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: maildir: root=/home/vmail/adomain.com/adomain.com/test, index=/home/vmail/adomain.com/adomain.com/test, control=, inbox= deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: cmusieve: Using sieve path: /home/vmail/globalsieverc deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: cmusieve: Executing script /home/vmail/globalsievercc deliver(adomain.com/test/@adomain.com): 2011-02-04 21:48:04 Info: msgid=<AANLkTimZi7pD2eSFNipHtmS5HZVstk9UF6kjWEyqynz-@mail.gmail.com>: saved mail to INBOX

It seems like is using a wrong folder value since it should be using /home/vmail/adomain.com/test. Another odd thing is that postfix is replacing the email address with /folder/user@adomain.com.

Postfix after receiving an email:

Thanks, any help/pointers will be greatly appreciated.
