For archiving purposes I'm delivering all addresses to the same mdbox: like this:

passdb { driver = passwd-file args = username_format=%u /etc/dovecot/passwd }

userdb { driver = static args = uid=1000 gid=1000 home=/home/copymail allow_all_users=yes }

Yet I'm getting this:

Jan 3 19:03:27 mail postfix/lmtp[29378]: 3THjg02wfWzFvmL: to=, relay=mail.charite.de[private/dovecot-lmtp], conn_use=20, delay=323, delays=323/0/0/0, dsn=4.1.1, status=SOFTBOUNCE (host mail.charite.de[private/dovecot-lmtp] said: 550 5.1.1 <"firstname.lastname@charite.de"@backup.invalid> User doesn't exist: "firstname.lastname@charite.de"@backup.invalid (in reply to RCPT TO command)) (using soft_bounce = yes here in Postfix)

In short: backup.invalid is delivered to dovecot by means of LMTP (local socket). I thought my static mapping in userdb would enable the lmtp listener to accept ALL recipients and map their $home to /home/copymail - why is that not working?
