I think I've found a bug in Dovecot 1.0 rc1 where if you have namespaces without the "location = " setting defined, it fails to use default_mail_env as it should. This seems to have been broken by :- 2006-06-16 18:13 Timo Sirainen * src/master/: auth-process.c, login-process.c, mail-process.c, main.c, master-settings.c: Settings parser nowadays returns "" instead of NULL when it reads an empty value from config file (due to some good reason I unfortunately didn't write to commit message and can't remember anymore). Fixed a lot of existing checks which checked for empty strings with NULL instead of "" checks. Looks like Timo missed (at least) one! I'm surprised nobody else has seen this. Do you all have "location" defined? Patch attached.
