[Dovecot] %d empty even though username has @domain

5 Dec 2005

      hello,
Sorry to jump straight in with a question, but I've searched the

archive[0] and I'm pretty sure the answer's not there.
I'm using dovecot to replace courier imap, so authentication is by

vpopmail and the Maildirs are stored in the usual domains/domain/user/
Maildir. Everything seems to work very well, and setting it up has

been easy, so thank you very much for that.
I have only one problem left: %d is empty when interpolated into

default_mail_env. I expect there's something obvious I'm doing wrong,

but it's hard to tell because the wiki isn't always up to date (i'd

be happy to update the vpopmail sections once this is working):
Config has this [1]:
default_mail_env = maildir:/home/vpopmail/domains/%d/%n/Maildir
and i log in over imaps with the account i'm using for testing:
username: sysadmin@spanner.org
password: ...
Authentication seems to work perfectly, but then the logs show:
dovecot: Dec 05 12:24:59 Info: imap(sysadmin): maildir: root=/home/
vpopmail/domains//sysadmin/Maildir, index=/home/vpopmail/domains//
sysadmin/Maildir, control=, inbox=
any suggestions, please?
thank you,
will
